5/5/5 aspects - Recovery

Postby Raul » Oct 1st, '14, 17:58

Was on the bus coming home and I thought about this idea of a thread.

Name the 5 highest points on Recovery, then the 5 lowest points, then 5 "improvements" you think it happened over the previous album (in that case, Relapse.)

GO! My list is coming soon.

What could be used as aspects: Song, verse, beat, anything.

my list is gonna be similar to Aone's :smoking: (thanks for not letting the thread flop)

5 highest points:

1. Going Through Changes 3rd and 4th verses
2. No Love verse
3. Seduction verses
4. Ridaz & Session One beats
5. His sincereness on Talkin' 2 Myself (yep, I thought that was a good thing lmao)

5 lowest points:

1. Lazy puns (especially the ones on WBD and Cinderella Man)
2. WOAT delivery (examples: Cinderella Man, WBD, 25 to Life)
3. Relapse bashing
4. The fact that Going Crazy/Fame, HMWYBS and Fly Away aren't on the album.
5. Production

Improvements:

Use of emotion on the songs and subject matter (T2M, GTC)
Sometimes the fast flow was impressive (Not really an improvement, since the Relapse flow was amazing, but I like me some fast flow too).

Digressions:

Lack of Dr. Dre
Choosing bad beats
Shouting

Aone10 wrote:1. The concept of Almost Famous
2. Em's No Love verse
3. Going Through Changes
4.The opening of Cold Wind Blows
5. His verses on Seduction

1.The shitty puns on songs like Won't Back Down
2.The fact that Proof's song sucks
3.The features/singers on hooks
4.The Relapse bashing
5.The production on half album

And since I feel there was absolutely no improvement from Relapse, here are 5 digressions from Relapse....

1.Lack of Dr. Dre production
2.His flow got choppier/sloppier
3.Lack of attention to detail
4.Incoherent lyrical content throughout
5.Excessively shouting lyrics, IN OTHER WORDS HE WAS SCREAMING WAY TOO MUCH!

Aside from that, I still rate the album a 7.... half of the album is great/good, which saves it from being a complete mess.



What was incoherent about the lyrical content?
" Life can change your directions, even when you ain't planned it
All you can do it handle it, worst thing you can do is panic
Use it to your advantage, avoid insanity manage
To conquer, every obstacle, make impossible possible
Even when winning illogical, losing is still far from optional.." -T.I.

5 Highest Points
1. Going Through Changes
2. Almost Famous was a great retelling of how his career came to be
3. No Love verse reasserts that Em is the greatest of all time
4. Parallels between relationship with women/music on several songs
5. Not Afraid is a true, proper return to mainstream music for Em

5 Lowest Points
1. Awful Production
2. Way too much screaming
3. IN OTHER WORDS, DUMB PUNCHLINES!!!$@%!@$%@!#$!@#$!@$#@
4. Em doesn't do hooks
5. Won't Back Down is atrocious

BTW NO SKITS WTF EM

5 Improvements From Relapse
1. Better content
2. More diverse content
3. Emotion
4. Proper Comeback
5. Marketable

We should get this going for all the other albums.

High Points:
5. Going Through Changes
4. Almost Famous concept
3. Him talking real on a lot of songs
2. Seduction
1. The more "Shady" songs, namely So Bad and Untitled

Low Points:
5. Yelling
4. Mediocre production
3. Lack of Em hooks
2. Relapse bashing
1. God-awful puns

Improvements:
Basically just tone down all the low points.
Jump around.
