I've been listening for the few months to mmlp non stop and when I listen to recovery it makes me dislike it even more...everything the beats, punch lines, his voice, screaming etc

Even the hardest SSLP fan wasn't devastated when MMLP came out and he saw the huge difference
Both are great for what they are

If you don't like Recovery, at least do it for what the album really is
Don't just go comparing with a classic and because things are different you automatically dislike it
You gotta understand that 10 years passed by between MMLP and Recovery, and Em went through (changes) a lot of stuff, so the final result should be different
The goat Recovery line to understand the album imo is in the most bashed song ever on this thread ''Talking 2 Myself''

"Encore" I was on drugs, "Relapse" I was flushing 'em out''

Encore is obvious what he meant, but the Relapse shit seems to not be understood by people
Em was coming back from a dark period, Relapse is the result of it
I could elaborate this further, but the psycho songs speaks for themself
Then, on Recovery, he wasn't coming back from a hiatus, he was there on the last year, he had done interviews, released an album, done performances, you know, showing himself again
All the shit that drugs took away from him, he got it back
He flush it all out and was ready to drop whatever he wanted

That's why I really don't believe that he just sited with Paul someday and got told to scrap R2 and make an completely mainstream album, at all. I firmly believe the ''I was in another mood and R2 seemed a little bit out of place'' thing and that T2M line sums it

Anyway, at the end of the day, we are fans and the least we should do is try to understand what Em was going for in that particular song or album
Relapse went to some years of extreme hate until people began to realize what Em wanted it to be and what it represents, then took Relapse for what it is and started appreciating that album for what it is
It's annoying that some people take that shit too far and start overrating it to the fullest and even saying that it's better than SSLP. It's not. The same way Recovery is not better than MMLP or TES, but you can still appreciate it for what it is if you take it that way

I can't believe the hate Recovery gets on here.

Recovery is a great album.

Agreed. Been like this for months now

If you don't like Recovery for this and that, I feel as though you should at least respect it for what it is, for how much it probably means/meant for Em both mentally and for his commercial success

I feel you guys. If you got the time, read what I just wrote and see if you relate to it

I don't have the time today, but I'll make my own thread in Chit Chat explaining why Recovery is great.

[Kill You]

I agree with every word from Shuttle Destroyer except for that it's not right to like Relapse over SSLP. That's my ears telling me what sounds better to me, homie. Sorry if you don't agree.

Ok lol
I'll make sure to back you up

Thanks, dude
That's ok if you think Relapse is better than SSLP, everyone got their own opinion
Sorry if I made that part sound like it's wrong to do so, of course that wasn't my intention

[Shuttle Destroyer]

@shuttle what you typed has already been said numerous times since 2010.

Nice to see I'm not the only one then

[FixIt]

agree

As far as the album goes song for song it has its highs and lows...In my opinion more highs than lows. I think there is a lot of Experimental verses that hit or miss with a lot of people;For example, some people hated songs like Big Weenie and Rain Man while others thought it was funny and entertaining....i guess it all goes into what you are into,what you expected, and what (and how) you take out of the album

[Shuttle Destroyer]

Its just repetitive not that I agree or disagree but it shows how the forum has run out of excuses from Ems recovery album. I don't know about anyone else but I never compared his first 3 to recovery. Its just a bad album from em that hasn't aged well at all for me...yes I still like many songs on the album and some of them are great bangers, some songs even give me instant cancer.

I respect you not liking it
I don't know about the others, but what I wrote is not an excuse at all, it's how I treat Recovery and a lil bit of venting too

[Shuttle Destroyer]

Alright fair enough dude, I respect that. I was listening to relapse this morning and that album is so great!

No doubt
I also love it

[Kill You]

Hmm well I find Relapse to be slightly better than SSLP...same shit. I agree that I probably listen to more songs off of Encore but I can admit good Recovery tracks but still not really listen to them.
