Recovery = my relative
That's MY album. I feel like I'm emotionally connected to every song. It was my Summer soundtrack and every time I hear it, I'm instantly reminded of my Summer experience which was insane and quite possibly the most exciting, memorable portion of my life.
I believe that as time passes... one day, I might just consider Recovery Eminem's best album, but for now I have to give it even more time to appreciate it and rate it next to his first three albums.
Very little has changed since the first listen. I used to think GTC was a bit boring, now I think it's his best song since the 8 Mile Soundtrack. I used to love Not Afraid, then I thought it was boring, corny and gay... now I enjoy it again but I still cringe at the corny parts. If I ever slightly disliked or thought a song was boring, now I think it's enjoyable.
