[eat_healthy]

can somebody break down the Brett Farve thing? I don't know who he is or why it's clever.

The vr in his name should be the other way around. farve sounds and looks the right way to say it, as favre sounds wrong and shouldn't be spellt like that

Well I don't agree that the song is 3.5 / 4 but it's a good song.

But, I'm annoyed at a bit in that review and many reviews by implying Recovery had no humour on it and they always say things like "long gone is the angry, sarcastic Eminem"... REALLY ? Are you listening to the same fucking album I am lmao.

The majority of the fucking album he's ranting and spewing 'bile' and intended-to-be-funny punchlines, self-deprecating cracks and all the usual. This fucking myth that Recovery is somehow soft, or lacking in the 'classic' Eminem traits is nonsense.

And that track is not dissimilar to "Cold Wind Blows" and that song doesn't have a high-concept and is just him rapping and loving his own lyricism too. As is "On Fire", as is "Won't Back Down", as are a lot of the tracks. And there's a lot of humour, most people I think just do not truly get Em's humour. Or get when he's being funny.

I think even a lot of Em fans, think he's only being funny when he makes it obvious or says something totally ridiculous. I think a lot of people miss a lot of his dark wit, and constant humour and sarcastic self-jabs, and self-parodying and... you know, embracing the misogyny and playing off perception. I think a lot of reviewers hear him sounding angry and don't actually listen or understand all of it.

I found myself comparing Fly Away and Cold Wind Blows not too long ago, to be honest. For some reason, they sound kinda similar to me.

so now it's obv that RL has an eye on the new leaks wonder if they heard the ep.

i feel the whole hype that the first single created changed the people's perspective towards the album ,maybe it's one of the reason that they ignored/failed to notice the dark humor on recovery.
