    Whats memorable about recovery besides a couple good songs? Kamikaze had way better production and the overall mood of the album is better . i like recovery but kamikaze has been on replay for 2 weeks now, almost 3. the last time i listened to an album on replay like that was tlop.

    Recovery is emo trash compared to Kamikaze.

    It’s a good album, but...it’s not even in...I mean...what the f--- is wrong with you people?

    Kamikaze...

    Recovery is one of my favorites though. When it came out I said it was the best he's done since Eminem Show. Now I think Kamikaze took it up a notch.

    I don't understand a lot of the hate Recovery got... it was enjoyable front to back. Very solid album.

    Kamikaze will be memorable... the way that its created waves and brought back an old side of Slim Shady we haven't seen in so long. The beef with MGK. He brought back that fire on this one. If Kamikaze isn't gonna be remembered then why the f--- was MMLP remembered?

    for the post Encore albums I got Kamikaze> Recovery> MMLP2> Relapse > Revival.

    Kamikaze is clumsier, but Recovery is just an exhausting listening

    People voting for Kamikaze are just wrong.

    Recovery is a great all round album. Honest and easy to listen to (albeit poppy).

    Kamikaze is a good comeback EP after the s--- show that was Revival but it's not even really a full album. A strong, aggressive outing to remind us that he's still got it.

    They will realise in time Kamikaze is not good.

    The initial excitement will wear off & reality will set in.

    Theres way to much trash littered on Recovery, although the high points of Recovery are up there with some of his best songs. Im edging Kamikaze just above Recovery just because its abit more consistent throughout (due to shorter album length im guessing). As a whole project though, Kami just about trumps it for me.

    I love Recovery. It was a matured version of Eminem experimenting with new flows, reflecting on past tradegies, remaining still slightly humorous .... But there were a ton of Cornball punch lines. Too many.

    Kamikaze is his best work since TES. If he spent 6 more months and got us like 18 tracks, it may not have been as good. Nice guy/good guy combo replaced by two better tracks though would almost put it in classic stratushpere.

    Cold Wind Blows, Talkin 2 Myself, Going Through Changes, Seduction, Space Bound, So Bad (yes I like So Bad), Untitled (and yes I like untitled) : 7 good-great songs

    WTP, Not Afraid, No Love, Cinderalla Man, 25 To Life, Almost Famous, You're Never Over, Ridaz : 8 bad songs

    On Fire, Won't Back Down, Session One : 3 of the worst Eminem tracks of all time

    so obviously GTC is better than any Kami song, but it doesn't really matter
    plus the MFer's hurting my ears, just listened to Almost Famous, it's awful how he screams, sounds like HTS

    Recovery >>>

    GTC, CWB, Space bound, you’re never over, no love, On fire

    His flow & voice remain consistent throughout the project, yah sure the punchlines and pop features are corny, but I’d take this over the rappity rap.

    Lucky you might be his best track since 03. Venom hook sounds like eminem show material. Too bad he f----- the verses up halfway through them. First half of that venom verse is best hes sounded in decades. That alone makes me appreciate kamikaze more. Nothing memorable about recovery either. He hasn't had a memorable album since eminem show. I enjoyed this more on first listen. Recovery was meh. Too many s-----y punchlines and wont back down is f---ing worst song on any album ever.

    Recovery suffers from being overlong, but I'd put its 11 best songs against Kamikaze's...

    I love both, btw... Just saying...
