How Would You Rate Recovery If...

[EminemBase]

This was the tracklist:

1. Cold Wind Blows
2. On Fire
3. W.T.P.
4. Going Through Changes
5. Not Afraid
6. Seduction
7. Space Bound
8. Cinderella Man
9. 25 to Life
10. Almost Famous
11. Love the Way You Lie
12. You're Never Over

There's no track of Recovery I truly hate but... I never listen to... Talkin 2 Myself, Won't Back Down... often skip No Love... and I actually listen to So Bad a lot but I just think it's perhaps not essential... I think if the album was stripped down to only its most essential tracks... it may be a lot more powerful. I used to love the fact Em made long albums, as it was all good...

But at this point, he could really benefit by being a little more selective...

Because some of that material is amazing, top-tier shit (Space Bound, Cinderella Man, Almost Famous), but due to the weak links and lack of musical cohesion... it feels like an album with some amazing tracks but no solidity as a single unit / vision.

The tracklist I put here I think looks a little more solid / like one album.

You don't like Untitled?

[Whitefox]

Well, I dont hate Recovery at all. I just dont feel this album because of the overall sound. It bugs me so much and it cant be fixed even by removing some of the worst tracks from it.

[Just Silver]

it wouldnt be as good with less tracks regardless even the shitty songs give it more life

[SoldierShady]

That tracklist still sucks lol. Take off W.T.P, Not Afraid, Cinderella Man, 25 to life, Almost Famous and You're Never over.

Just realised how less and less I like Recovery as the months go by.......damn.

[HeySamantha]

Recovery wasn't awful, it just wasn't very... him. It doesn't have that tough Eminem feeling.

this tracklist: 7/10
the original tracklist: 5/10

[UofLCard]

This was the tracklist:

1. Cold Wind Blows
2. On Fire
3. W.T.P.
4. Going Through Changes
5. Not Afraid
6. Seduction
7. Space Bound
8. Cinderella Man
9. 25 to Life
10. Almost Famous
11. Love the Way You Lie
12. You're Never Over

I'd probably still rate/rank it the way I always have. I've never been big with CWB, Almost Famous, or On Fire.

This is better:

1. Cold Wind Blows
2. On Fire
3. Won't Back Down (feat. P!nk)
4. W.T.P.
5. Going Through Changes
6. Seduction
7. No Love (feat. Lil Wayne)
8. Cinderella Man
9. 25 to Life
10. So Bad
11. Almost Famous
12. Love the Way You Lie (feat. Rihanna)
13. Untitled

It's worth pointing out that in terms of actual material, Recovery is his longest album.

I think that if the features were changed on those songs, they'd be more likeable. (Although I don't mind P!nk at all.)

that lil wayne's verse is what I like the most about No Love tbh, and I'm not a big fan of Lil Wayne

[UofLCard]

Menzo, I keep mistaking you for Canada Pure because of that avi.
