I grew fond of recovery later in my life. Got me through some tough times. You can tell he was going through it during this album.

Recovery has a lot of really really good rapping on it. Maybe some of the songs aren’t as catchy but it’s a massive return to form in terms of his lyrics and flow when compared to the (let’s be honest) dumpster fire that was Relapse.
Growing up I owned all of his albums up to Encore, bought Relapse the day it came out and was so disappointed on first listen that I pretty much never played it again.
Then was very pleasantly surprised at the first few songs of recovery, yeah they’re mostly just verses with short okayish hooks in between, but at least the rapping was fire again! He was back to spitting like he hadn’t done since the Eminem show and for that I’ll always appreciate Recovery as an album and a symbol of his return to form

Relapse is not the best it's true.. but you can pry 'Deja Vu' and 'Insane' from my cold dead hands

Eminem is probably my favorite artist. I skipped on recovery, but I went back and listened to Believe and it is an incredible song.

Extremely nostalgic song for me. It feels very emotional and different compared to his other work.

My FAV part of this song ~
Nobody knows me, I'm cold, walk down this road all alone
It's no one's fault but my own, it's the path I've chosen to go
Frozen as snow, I show no emotion whatsoever, so
Don't ask me why I have no love for these mo'fuckin' ho's

Window pain and spelling "live" backwards bits of the song always make me laugh

My coworker and I thoroughly enjoyed this album! Start to finish with bangers

It really is. It was a great return to form for him at the time also.

I love this song. I’ve never heard anyone else mention it.

Same. Pleasant surprise seeing this posted. This actually might be my favorite Em song of all time.

Definitely among my most played from Em. Along with Not Afraid, I Need A Doctor, etc. This is just masterful to listen to.

Another good song though 😂.. in moderation

I liked this song before I paid close attention to the lyrics and when I played it for my significant other he was like “are you trying to send me a message?”
DrAquafresh793 t1_isvtndw wrote
IMO this is the best rap album of all time. Every song is perfect. It's also possible it came out when I was going through stuff at the same time and I could feel his pain in the music.

You're correct. Heard this shit way too much in High school.

Wasn’t ever a big fan of Recovery but Space Bound is an absolute banger.
