And tbh, Ridaz an Session One should have replaced some of the tracks on Recovery. Cinderella Man and WTP should've been bonus. Won't Back Down should not exist.


I would take out WBD and T2M. I love WTP.

Recovery is horrible. Forced punchlines, boring, generic beats. It sounds like a mixtape that Em really didn't want to do.

I don't think I've ever been able to listen to Recovery in full. I always fast forwarded thru a few songs. I didn't care for most of the beats. The only songs I've listened to recently have been Almost Famous and 25 To Life. It's an average album imo but still has some good moments. That's what scares me about Em, I wonder if he still has more good albums in him or just the occasional good moment. We'll see...

Why exactly does the hook/chorus of Almost Famous sound so freaking scary/creepy? I've thought this ever since my first listen of the song.


Just due to the way that woman sings... she over-pronounces words and there's a slight echo to her voice, which all just adds up to making it sound somewhat sinister... as to WHY that sounds sinister... I guess just due to the context and atmosphere you would usually associate with that kind of voice.

Thanks for the elaboration. Any clue as to why Em wanted that for the song? I always liked to think the song had a much deeper, scarier meaning hidden somewhere but no luck pinpointing it.

I like it too, but it just sounds exactly like something you'd hear as a bonus track.

Like half of Recovery were probably songs with hooks that were already there. Sucks tbh.

Examples:

2. Talkin’ 2 Myself Feat. Kobe
6. Going Through Changes
10. Space Bound
11. Cinderella Man
12. 25 to Life
14. Almost Famous
15. Love the Way You Lie Feat. Rihanna

Yeah, it's also kinda sad that he only co-produced two tracks on it, WTP and Not Afraid (which is his first single.)

That means he just got the beats, wrote to them and rapped his vocals on em. Not sure if he even mixed during the Recovery process. Relapse was such a better effort, he was much more focused and involved on it. Smh. :(

i now fully understand the hate.

its crazy how he apologies for relapse, but then shits on our face.
Relapse and refill were so fulfilling. Its like you date a new girl, you like her looks and style. but you still miss your ex cause she rocked your fucking world.

I think this too. I think most of the beats he got for Recovery already had hooks.

Let's hope he does his own hooks for this upcoming album.

I'm listening to Recovery right now and every time I do it's a highly enjoyable album to me...

When I then try to think back and rate it, it always feels murky and confusing, as if it was an average experience; and I think that's due to the production only...

Because every time I listen to it, I rap every single word and enjoy the fuck out of it.

Also, there seems to be more continuity in style the more time goes on, if you take like... "25 to Life" and "Almost Famous" for example - that kind of mixture of abrasive and harsh production, with the light, breezy choruses... that contrast seems to feel pretty present throughout the album.
