Nov 30, 2014 He definitely hasn't s----d for 10 years. I'd say he s----d for 5 (2004-09). 2010 was one of the best years of his career, easily his best since 2002. Recovery is without a doubt the #4 album in his catalog after the first three classics. He hasn't matched that success since then but he's been pretty solid ever since for the most part.
Nov 30, 2014 Let me try that play on for size... *cough* Nobody's proven a single substantive point from the reivew. It's totally off-base tbh. I'm not that black and white in my opinion of it though, just wanted to sound like a douche - mission accomplished
Nov 30, 2014 Yeah but some people can't look at it how it is. I don't think he had released a great album since 2003. Some good/average ones though. And a few classics obviously
Nov 30, 2014 Anybody expecting him to return to his 1999-03 form is kidding themselves at this point. He's 42. He was in his 20s when he recorded his first three albums. Recovery-era Em is the best we can hope for at this point in his life & career.
Dec 1, 2014 Am I the only one who actually LOL'ed at these lines from the review? The production functions simply, like a stopwatch: It's there to tell him when to start and when to stop, and occasionally a juiced-up power-rock chorus interrupts him. Submitting production to an Eminem album must feel, for a producer, something like a novelist feeding their manuscript into a wood chipper. On the one hand, you are guaranteed unprecedented exposure, and on the other, you are all but ensuring that no one will notice a note of your work. Mathers' great talent—his 180-degree ear for how everything can be made to rhyme with everything else, how chains of these rhyming lines can be erected into dizzying towers—has officially devolved into a tic. His verses denature all sense of pronunciation and meter and natural speech rhythm; you could probably read this review as one long Eminem verse. The review has flaws - Fine Line is a good song and the reviewer completely ignores the other artists - but there's truth to many of his critiques.
Dec 12, 2014 Never heard of "pitchfork" until now but i can tell it's a complete joke. They gave Get Rich a 7/10, The Massacre a 7/10 and they gave the Get Rich (movie soundtrack) a 7.9/10. There's no way on God's green Earth that the Massacre is the same as Get Rich, and there's no way the movie soundtrack is better than Get Rich. They got Illmatic right, with a 10/10, and they don't even have a review for MMLP or Reasonable Doubt. LOL @ Yeezus being a 9.5/10 what a joke that album s----d other than a few songs. Yeah, Pitchfork is a joke.
Jan 26, 2015 Lol they gave Recovery a 2.8 but it was good enough to win a Grammy and gave Relapse a 4.8... i don't see how anyone could take this website seriously.
Jan 26, 2015 Lol not even close. Since his comeback I'd say: Recovery > Bad Meets Evil > Shady XV > MMLP2 > Relapse > Refill
Jan 26, 2015 are you 11 years old? do you have a man vagina? do you finger yourself while listening to love the way you lie? yes to all the questions?
Jan 26, 2015 people are forgetting that a few months before the release of relapse eminem released a song with trick trick, during that song he still had his old flow(little bit mix with the accent) but this song is the proof that he can still rap like before.Put that flow on relapse beats and we got a great album. Now add bass brothers to relapse and guess what? masterpiece.
Jan 26, 2015 that song was originally recorded in 2006-2007, though. the original song is called "From the D".
