Eminem is nothing short of brilliant. If you don't believe me, listen to his new album Recovery. Mr. Mathers consistently displays his unmatchable talent and ingenuity on every single track of his 2010 release, even in the smallest details. For instance, everyone pretty much knows about the Chris Brown and Rhianna fiasco a couple years back, which is why it is an incredibly moving choice for Em to feature Rhianna on his track "Love The Way You Lie" - a song about domestic violence. More than that, Eminem has become more and more creative in his presentation and vocal inflection, moving from his early years of monotonous nasaly vocals to his more modern sound of changing the voice he uses to emphasize his emotions, whether its anger, sadness, remorse, etc. All in all, he's become less of just a "rapper" and more of an all around musician.
More than that, with Recovery, Eminem has recreated his image as a serious rapper, rather than living in the shadow of his "Slim Shady" persona that has gained him his fame. He made this change through the different subject matter on Recovery versus Relapse. Recovery showcases Eminem's more emotional and serious side, while Relapse was composed almost entirely of joke songs and crude humor. Relapse also was not well received by critics or the public, or even Eminem himself, as evidenced from his lyrics on Recovery in which he actually states that he realizes he made a bad album.
He did it on purpose.
Eminem intentionally produced a flop album of humor in order to recreate his image by then releasing a spectacular album of serious and emotional songs.
In any light, regardless of comparison to past albums, in Recovery Eminem has crafted a harsh, emotionally-driven, catchy, and moving album that is sure to top the Hip-Hop charts in the coming weeks.
Especially good songs: Space Bound, You're Never Over, Love The Way You Lie, No Love (Feat. Lil' Wayne)
