Description

Recovery is the seventh studio album by American rapper Eminem. It was released on June 18, 2010, by Aftermath Entertainment, Shady Records, and Interscope Records as the follow-up to Eminem's previous album Relapse. Originally planned to be released as Relapse 2, the album was renamed to Recovery when Eminem found the music on the album different than its predecessor.
Production of the album took place during 2009 to 2010 at several recording studios and was handled by various record producers, including Alex da Kid, Just Blaze, Boi-1da, Jim Jonsin, DJ Khalil, Mr. Porter, and Dr. Dre. Eminem also collaborated with artists such as Pink, Lil Wayne, Slaughterhouse and Rihanna for the album. Recovery featured more introspective and emotional content than its predecessor and the theme of the album revolved around his positive changes, anxiety, and emotional drives. To promote the album, he performed the album's songs live on televised shows, at award ceremonies, musical events and also headed The Recovery Tour. It spawned four singles; "Not Afraid", "Love the Way You Lie", "No Love", and "Space Bound", with the former two both reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100.

Eminem at his best. This album is a master piece I thank god we have rapper's like Eminem not many can compare to him. This is his best album up to date. That album he dropped called "The Hell Sequel" wasn't that great. EMINEM'S - RECOVERY ALBUM SHOWS EMINEMS,TRUE PASSION TOWARDS HIP-HOP / RAP.

Eminem's Recovery This Album Was Pretty Good. Now First things first. The pros of this album. PROS: now this album is really good, he's got a nice flow, amazing lyrics, very witty punchlines, and (kinda) the beats, cause some of the beats are just meh. Now to get on the Coins. CONS: Guest Appearances from basically all the artist I don't like. The Beats like I said before are sometimes meh. Summing it all up the albums pretty good but will never be as good as his first 3 albums. My favorite song one there is "so bad".

BEST ALBUM EVER This is the best album ever produced by em by FAR. People say he went soft, but that's complete bull. One listen to cold wind blows and u know he's not soft. I have been a hardcore die hard Stan since 4th grade, and I know the real slim shady and this is him. This, (Recovery), The Marshall Mathers LP, the eminem show, and The Marshall Mathers LP2 are the real em speaking amazing lyrics. Not the fake em, on drugs. Anyway, DEFINITELY WORTH THE 11.49!!!!!!!!

Loving the difference I love it whn I hear the difference in styles tht Marshall puts into his style n levels of his rapping... I am amazed with what he creates n I always look forward to how Marshall improves on his own lyrics n levels of talent!!! Great Job... Marshall!! I knew yu could do it... Keep up the hard work n always kno tht yu hav what it takes to make it to the next level of challenges....!!

Not his best I like his new album much better than this one, he gives off this vibe that slim shady is dead on this album but i'll give the benefit of the doubt that he does have a couple of good songs off here. But other than that I didn't care for the album at all

Eminem recovery I have always been a fan Of Eminem and whenever I heard that he changed his flow so I had to check it out.. I liked it compared to what everyone was telling me I know a lot of people gave up on Eminem after relapse but I liked it it was more of the old em more darker then what normal is use to coming from Eminem here lately like with 3 am or medicine ball but hey everyone has their own taste in music .. Also glad to here that he is getting his life together.. Hope to hear more from em soon :-)

Perfection Eminem is the best hands down no questions asked no second guessing no nothing. He's the best. But he needs to release that new album redemption soon! I've listend to all of songs so many times now I've memorized them all! So hurry with this new album man!

Recovery Album Any & All EMINEM is the bomb!!!!! Can't get enough........it don't take me long to memorize his records, and really enjoy him. He makes me laugh, at his rhymes, and relate to his pain and experiences. Give him a chance, he is so similar and relatable, he has a very sweet side also. True Fan right here......Tabitha.

Jack Crouch October 6, 2013

Good album but different than the rest. Recovery has a good selection of tracks and nice lyrics, however, the album is different as the beats are different than the older albums and some of the lyrics are either good or sub-par, hence the four stars. Overall, Recovery is a very good album. Although it may not be perfect, its still a comeback for the veteran rapper.

A Google User March 20, 2012

Good album Im not a rap or hip hop fan. However theres some intriguing about how raw his music is. On some level i can relate.. The great thing about music is it is way for people to expresss them selfs. Not all music is great or healthy to listen too. But he is truley being real and that says alot. So for people to to negative you are completey missing the point of his music....

Chris Adkins December 4, 2012

Lyrically amazing, music you can feel. Every time I listen to this album I pick up on a metaphor I never caught on to before. I've read many bad reviews of this album and I don't get it. Either people just don't want to like it, or they just don't listen to the lyrics because some of three wordplay on this album is incredible.

July 7, 2016

Amazing The album is awsome. It's definitely better than his previous 2 albums relapse and encore. I recommend getting this if you haven't already. I'd say cold wind blows, on fire, and space bound are the best songs off this album.

Tyler Fazenbaker September 7, 2014

Great but not his best I'm I really big Eminem fan. This is by no means his best album, however this is still a great album. I'd say my favorite albums by him the Eminem show and MMLP2. But what songs make this album so great in my opinion is No Love and Not Afraid.

Colby Schueddig May 21, 2013

A real review. I'm a hardcore Eminem fan, and have been since I was in 2nd grade. Don't get me wrong, anything produced by Em is brilliant, but this is nothing like Slim Shady. Real fans know this isn't his best

July 30, 2013

Reality check This album is amazing. I cant understand why people complain about it. Yet there out there listening to crap like little wayne and PSY. I cant believe a korean artist blew up in the USA. You guys are all pathetic

A Google User February 28, 2012

NO WORDS Hater if you cant say anithing good about eminem shut youre pie hole cause at 40 yrs. He still the best and he always will

Joshua Barber March 5, 2015

Recovery No question one of the greatest hip hop albums there is. Instead of being like all the other rappers and talk about drugs, Eminem shares his addiction and how much of a struggle it was. And how anyone else can follow him down the same rode of recovery. Without a doubt 5 stars.

Matthew Spangler June 1, 2015

Recovery is an amazing album! I love it completely and some of the best songs are Seduction, Not Afraid, Almost Famous, and Cold Wind Blows. I also have something to say to the haters. Look, people have their own opinions and not everyone is going to agree with you. Please understand that. Thanks.

A Google User March 20, 2012

Great album @juventino: you're comment would make more sense if you knew how to spell. But I agree that there are some rappers who lost it all, but eminem still has it. So instead of stereotyping every rapper, and making yourself sound like the retard, make sure you know what you're talking about.

Antigone Heart February 18, 2015

Eminem is so bad, that he's so good!!! 😉 I loved this entire album - 10 stars!! Eminem is truly a gifted & incredible person. Em's work has many healing properties. I love that when you listen to his music again a new layer is unveiled. The negative/false reviews on here are definitely too personal - listen to Em's lyricism & growth. 🚫Em is not a "poppy sensation". I don't actually purchase CDs or downloads & I ignore the radio but for Eminem I am invested. I write poetry & I immediately connected with his lyrics. Marshall stay strong 😘👍.

A Google User April 2, 2012

@Juventino If u don't like it, then there's no need to tell the whole world. I agree with you there are some awful rappers. But there's about one or two good tracks on here.

A Google User March 19, 2012

To the commenter below me. First form a complete thought, then put that thought into a sentence. A sentence that can be understood. Before you can call someone stupid, make sure that you, yourself isn't indeed stupid. You hate on people for liking music? Sure not all rap is good, but Eminem has an intelligence in his lyrics rarely seen by other rappers. Not all rap music is the same, don't listento it if you don't like it. It's that simple.

Paul Rodriguez January 7, 2015

Naht dat good I lkked eminems old songs like lose yorself and stan and toy soldiers and so on not much a fan of any surely hes done better I only like "not afraid" evetything else sucks sry but it does I know he could have done better but I think this is his only bad album

Matthew Oakley December 27, 2013

Great Lyrics I like every Eminem album beside Encore and Relapse, but how ever he was on drugs on those albums. My favorite song on this album is Cold Wind Blow and my all time favorite is Superman

A Google User March 16, 2012

Greatness I been listening to eminem since his first album was out. This last album is his best masterpeice yet. More meaning behind his music. For the ppl hating, dnt listen plain n smple

Sophia A February 12, 2014

Love it It is true that I just love Eminem, but this album is awesome and most Eminem fans would say: You don't know the real good albums by Eminem. Well I do,but there is something in this album that makes me like it a lot maybe the lyrics. I don't know. It's an awesome album download it !!!!

Mistah Jetton October 16, 2014

The best Eminem album ever I can truly say that Recovery is my #1 favorite album by Eminem he killed the Slim Shady gimmick & just became a positive Eminem off drugs & became hella lyrical Recovery is when Eminem made his comeback NOT MMLP2 my least favorite Eminem album is Relapse he totally could have did better with that one but I was a lil disappointed when he went back to Slim Shady he should have stayed as Recovery Eminem fact not an opinion.

Andrew Barry May 15, 2013

Eminem once again proves why he is one of the Best The fact Relapse and this album were recorded so close together is amazing. I believe Relapse is just as good and Eminem proves his lyrics are untouchable. He brings so many hits on this CD and this is THE best purchase you can make of any album period. You will not be disappointed and probably will be surprised because I believe it to be his best album yet.

Nicholas Stolpman May 3, 2017

...to somehow be Eminem's thoughts in his skull for 1 day, heck 1 hour...how can 1 man pump out bar after bar, hit after hit, album after album all in different voices, styles, tempos, speeds, lyrical mad geniusness, rhyming 2,3,4,5... words in 1 line at times, dissecting words so that the symmetry is all there all while staying true to his art's common theme of controversy, anger, addiction AND not once using the N word like EVERY rapper out there has to in order for words to rhyme...how?! He simply is amazing, doesn't get enough credit if that's even possible...

A Google User September 14, 2012

Eminem: Best at the Technical aspect of Hip-Hop Every song is full of the best word play, flow, metaphors, and story telling you'll hear. There is a reason no Artist comes after Eminem. He is the best alive. You can easily listen to the whole album with out skipping a song. If you've ever been through a big struggle in your life you'll appreciate this album.

Richard Lauz June 22, 2014

Great You either like this album or you don't. Slim Shady isn't a big part of this album but make no mistake, the Marshall persona is just as good. Upbeat tempo and great music. Not his best work but it's way better than Encore and Relapse.

Nikolli Flames July 11, 2014

Fan Since Soul Intent! I noticed people claiming this is not like his old work. This rather sounds like Infinite and SI days when he first started. Definitely one of his best imo since it has a feel of his actual old albums which I love.

Bryan Miller October 30, 2014

not slim shady, but rappers /people evolve. it's not psychotic slim, but he still is has an intriguing way of telling a story. not just making words rhyme in time eat a lime and think it's great

Cas Harper February 16, 2014

Can't really go wrong You can't go wrong with Eminem. Still my least favorite album of his. Way different. Still an amazing album in and of itself. Favorite song has got to be Not Afraid, but the rest are pretty good too

A Google User December 26, 2011

Dam!!! He proved there is not one person that is even on or near the planet he is lircaly . He is lircaly the greatest MC ever PERIOD!! So u that dont get it take Big L, Biggie ,Tupac,Rakim, T.l, Outkast, with Dre back most beats. Wrap it up. No one puts it down like Eminem. The way he puts tracks together is lircaly untouched . Its heart mind blood sweat tears and pain put in a way noone can touch.

Matt Smith April 17, 2014

Bounced Back Great to hear him cured. He's still Eminem and he opens up a bit in You're Never Over and Going Through Changes. This albums got everything, its a materpiece. There's not a single "okay" track. Must Have

A Google User January 13, 2012

??? I had the cd and loved it! But I can't seem to purchase it out of the market. Keeps saying "error occured while trying to create your purchase". What's up? Will give five stars when I can purchase this.

Dominic Booth January 22, 2014

Best album yet also with survival if he will make any song in the world I would pick him over anything if someone says he's bad then they need to say nothing rap is the best definitely by Eminem

Anthony Gonzalez May 8, 2014

Genius storytelling To come back from a deep pill addiction and put out a album this amazing is in itself astonishing and truly a testament to his will, determination, genius, and most of all true love of hiphop music. Eminem is the greatest rapper of all time sold most albums and this album tells some deep and really touching stories through each witty verse. Probably his 3rd best album all time.

Jaylen B April 29, 2015

The Realest Review Not Afraid,Love The Way You Lie,So Bad,Space Bound Really tell his story life in a song and last time I check it was pretty much all about telling his story in these other songs they aren't his best,but too little too late he'll be off the charts. - Just Some Constructive Criticism.
