Bought the album, thought is was amazing.

The first two tracks are excellent, as is No Love, Not Afraid and Love the way You Lie. Awesome!

Good album so far. One complaint though, whose idea was it to stick a security sticker right on the artwork under the disc tray? I tried peeling it off carefully and wound up just tearing the damn thing. Frustrating.

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)

^That's one of the worst practices that studios partake in. Putting security stickers on the packaging itself is absolutely ridiculous. One of my biggest annoyances in collecting DVDs of TV shows that came in digipaks is that the security tag would very often be UNDERNEATH the digipak on top of the artwork (I'm looking at you, The Simpsons.) Terrible. And it's bad enough if it's one of the black rectangle ones, because at least you can occasionally remove those without a problem. The square, thin ones are even worse. Those are literally impossible to remove without at the very least leaving tons of residue behind. Ugh.

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)

After hearing Ridaz and Session One, I am amazed they are bonus tracks.

The production is great, Em is fire and Slaughterhouse is, too.


SHould've been put on the regular album.

There's no room. Remember, a CD can only hold 79 min and 57 seconds of music/data. Unless both songs are combined under 3 min 04 seconds, they;re not gonna fit.

Does anyone know if there is supposed to be some special code to get those tracks that were posted a page ago, or was that just rumored bull shit

Really digging this album. It's a long time coming but I feel like he's back.

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)

The R n' B chorus' really grate on the nerves after awhile and most aren't catchy whatsoever and forgettable but Em's rhymes are so damn ON IT that it's pretty much excusable...definitely back on his A game that's for certain...

This album has a 61 score on Metacritic but a 9.2 by user reviews. Don't understand why critics are slamming it.

i'm just glad that he is moving away from the talk about raping and stuff that seemed prevalent on Relapse. As a father you would think that he wouldn't joke or even talk about shit like that.

Yup. Even Em trashes Relapse a few times on Recovery.

You're gonna have to elaborate on the problems its having. Almost every post here is talking about how good it is. Also, it's on pace to sell 600,000-700,000 copies this week. Not really seeing any problems here.

^Yeah, on it's way to the biggest first week since AC/DC's Black Ice in '08. I think Em will be fine.

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)

This is my favorite Eminem album that he's come out with so far. I haven't heard Relapse, however.

All the songs are great. My favorites are: "Talkin' 2 Myself", "25 to Life", "So Bad", "Almost Famous" and "Love the Way You Lie".

"Talkin' 2 Myself" and "Love the Way You Lie" have been playing on my BlackBerry over and over again.

It's a must buy CD.

It was BS. There's no secret code.

There aren't any. The only extra songs are the two bonus tracks exclusive to iTunes.

First week sales are estimated to be 753,000. In contrast, Miley Cyrus' new cd looks to have sold 106,000.

I managed to pull it off using Nero software. Some of those beats keep going on for too long, so i just trimmed off the ends of a bunch of songs once Em is done with vocals.

So I have 19 tracks in just under 80 minutes.
