    This is a really awful opinion and I'd bet a lot of money you're a gigantic fa---- irl.

    What do you think of HTS? I like Recovery but imo that EP is the worst thing he has done

    That he probably could have reached had he not decided to go the BME/MMLP2 route. I would be ecstatic if we got another album like Recovery.

    Listened to it once when it leaked and it went right to the recycle bin. It's right there with MMLP2 as far as not having a single listenable song in it(at least from what I remember).

    I like mmlp2 but completely agree with bme. Lighters has the potential to be his worst song ever

    All you people that complained about the d--- yelling after we FINALLY got rid of the accent are the cause of current Eminem.

    Since we all know he's super-sensitive, he started his quiet voice flow (Slaughterhouse album era) which led to his start/stop choppy flow.

    Probably my peak Stan period. Lot of memories with this album, including but not limited to:
    • Forever dropping. I hated Drake/Wayne and thought the entire premise of Eminem on a song with those scrubs was completely unacceptable. Then I heard his verse on my phone while working at Blockbuster. Swoon. His new double-time style was finally a fresh change from the accent.
    • Making that fake Recovery album cover, which the entire internet thought was real for a week. Real detail went into editing the bulge in Marshall's pants.
    • Despicable Freestyle dropping out of nowhere. No accent. Everyone thought it was the best thing since The Warning.
    • Not Afraid audio premiering on Rap Radar. Listened to it on repeat all d--- day. Is this Lose Yourself v2?
    • Won't Back Down comes out. It's okay. Why are the verses mixed so poorly? Is this wordplay creative or forced? I can't tell guys.
    • Album leaks. I notify my fellow stans. Laying on my bed, listening intently. Those first few seconds of Cold Wind Blows. Whew.
    • Eminem dissing Wayne on No Love? Come on, I swear he is.
    • Listened to Space Bound religiously to cope with a breakup, because Eminem gets me.
    • Literally couldn't go anywhere without hearing Love The Way You Lie.
    • Making the trip to Detroit with one of my best friends to watch Eminem + Jay Z at Comerica Park. We knew every word from Recovery already, because what else is there to do besides listen to Eminem all day.

    Looking back, shouting awful metaphors wasn't the worst Eminem. I almost miss it.

    True but, probably unpopular opinion, I love his verse on Our House, and the bridge is godly
