Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

Figure'd I'd start a new thread for Eminem's new album since Relapse 2 has been scrapped.

The first single off of the album is the Boi-1da produced track "Not Afraid". It was released earlier today. I think it's phenomenal, it shows a completely new side of Em. It sounds so different to hear him on a beat not produced by himself, Denaun Porter, or Dr. Dre.. I love it. The beat is tight and the lyrics are really meaningful. I hope the rest of the album delivers like this has.

I still really enjoyed Relapse. I think this is a positive step in the new direction for him musically. I'm really anticipating the new CD now.

can anyone find a link to it? The youtube page has a bunch of fakes

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

Is it confirmed that Relapse 2 was scrapped? When I read about it a while back it wasn't clear if he scrapped everything from Relapse 2 or simply renamed the album (with all or most of the same material) Recovery.

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

I guess I don't know for sure but am taking a guess. It could be possible that some of the Relapse 2 stuff was what we got with the Relapse: Refill release and maybe if there was leftover material they put it on this new album. Don't know but it seems possible to me.

i read that he has officially dropped the accent, which makes me happy, cause i couldn't stand it

Found it on YouTube. Not bad

Despicable was a freestyle so I didn't expect that to be on the album.

The Relapse: Refill CD was leftover material from the Relapse recording sessions. Recovery contains none of that, as well as no material from the now-scrapped Relapse 2. Em even says he was disappointed in the final outcome of Relapse in his new single.

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

damn both songs sound great. Can't wait for "Recovery". I'm actually surprised that he didn't do a more poppy song as the first single that he usually does

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

I really like the album artwork. Simple and effective. The single is pretty good too; I like when Eminem is more serious and introspective...he's far more effective that way.

I don't think he scrapped the songs he recorded for Relapse 2, and I haven't heard anything to suggest that he recorded the entirety of Relapse 2 and then threw out all the songs. I think he realized as he was recording material for Relapse 2 that it was really different from Relapse and that the different tone and material warranted a change in album title. He may have thrown out a couple songs (all artists do), but I don't think the entire tracklist was scrapped, but instead the title was just changed to more accurately reflect the music.

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

Ugh, love the lyrics and flow from em as usual but that beat on Not Afraid is incredibly generic and dull.

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

Heard the song on the last ep of Mayweather-Mosley and really liked it... Looks like that sill quick shit is through.

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

Just heard it on the show as well. The best song I have heard from him in years.

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

Agreed.

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

having Boi-1da do the single instead of Dre or Just Blaze was pretty dumb

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

That chorus is brutally corny. Em really needs to stop doing those for himself and pay someone to do them.

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

Won't Back Down featuring P!nk leaked today. Very different sounding tune, but after a couple of listens I'm digging it. This will definitely be his most diverse album yet.

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

I'm only on track 1 and this song is nuts. LOVE that Em dropped the accent

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

Just Blaze sampled "What Is Love" lmao

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

Liking what I'm hearing so far, this will be a purchase for me when it comes out.


Is everyone listening to it in 128 kbps, which isn't good???

That's the only one I could find.


Thanks

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

yes, its 128. sounds fine to me. a higher quality version will prob leak within the next few days/weeks

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

The rhymes and flow get an A+.
Overall, the fucking hooks/choruses get a D-, and that's being generous.

Re: Eminem - Recovery (6/22/10)
 

yep
