Prophecy: Hell will age better than Recovery because

Postby eat_healthy » Jun 11th, '11, 00:04

It's timeless.

It will, and in a year from now it will be looked at more fondly than Recovery.

They're going at it on the mic, having fun. Personal issues take a backseat and and playful lyrical bombast takes over, you got your improved punches and slick flows --- stuff you haven't seen Em do before like his whisper flow, his comments on music piracy and my favourite --- his intertwining multi-flow with Royce in Welcome 2 Hell (over a fucking Havoc beat no doubt)

As a stoned Youtube reviewer* said, it's like Relapse Eminem rearing his head from beneath the surface with a more furious Recovery flow.

You've got a light peppering of contemporary stuff --- mostly celeb references but nothing particularly detrimental to the experience of listening to the album in five years time.

The beats rewind, slow down and pause for the punches --- they're alive, but not so overproduced that they drown the lyrics (except Lighters?)

It's nearly a modern classic and it's definitely a solid release

THANKS FOR READING EM FANS

Side notes: Recovery's beats are obviously a mixed bag, you've got some fire like Cold Wind, On Fire, Going Through Changes (just - imo the chorus *nearly* ruins it, but that's just because i would prefer it to have a drum beat so Ozzie's voice doesn't sound like it's floating between a rap song), ALMOST FAMOUS and Untitled

Not the EP as a whole, but a few tracks are going to age VERY well, better than a lot of the Recovery songs. Welcome 2 Hell, The Reunion, Above The Law, A Kiss...all going to age fairly well I think.

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await
Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake

Lighters is the song I kinda hate now... :whistle:

It's not bad, but I don't enjoy listening to it, I'll listen to Fast Lane and I'm On Everything before it...
