Overall, i like the song and still bump it, it's not a bad song and it was radio friendly.

But it has some bad punchlines, and fuck that gay ass bridge.

Because the punchlines are terrible (minus the "balcony" line), the bridge literally sounds like it's straight out of a Backstreet Boys song, and he rhymes 1 syllable words.
"This dude doing this interview wants me to spin a few,
Lyrics while I tie my tennis shoes in the nude
A romantic interlude in a livin’ room,
In an inner tube with a dude with a bit of lube
Fuck that I’m sniffin’ glue, sippin' gin & juice,
And a little bit of paint thinner with my dinner too,
You better pay me for my bars like your rent is due,
Now hurry up and finish dude before I finish you."

Subpar beat
It feels like a pop song
Awful rhymes and punchlines
He disses Relapse
I don't want to take his hand, he's Eminem, not my Kindergarten teacher...

That being said, I don't hate it, it's really not horrible, and it blows LTWYL out of the water.

I hate the beat (He had the right idea, but the instruments and drum kits Boi-1da used were really weak), I dislike the chorus, I absolutely hate the bridge, Em's rhyming isn't that good, he concedes to critics & fans when he disses Relapse and alot of the punchlines are just...why?

Despite ALL of this, I think it was a really smart marketing move for Recovery and I understand why alot of people like it, so I'm not gonna call it a bad song like I once did.

How do you think it is better than LTWYL? If Eminem had his own chorus for LTWYL, and it was kind of lik a "Love You More" chorus, people would like it....his verses are well-written for the most part.

For the exact reasons you just said. I would probably like it if he did his own chorus and it had a darker beat. It's just an awful Love You More. Yeah his verses aren't anything special, but they aren't what makes me hate it. It's my least favorite Em song of all time, bar none. Last Em song I would ever choose to listen to.

I like it, I just sometimes skip it when I listen to Recovery...the radio overplayed it.

I like it. The beat is not that bad, people are too hard on Recovery concerning the beats. I don't listen to it often though, since I bumped the fuck outta it before Recovery came out. Lyrically, it's okay, nothing special. But LTWYL is better lyrically, most definitely

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await
Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake
