    On this album, these were the more perfect songs so If I see this songs as an album I'd rate these 10/10
    If I had to rate these songs seperatly they would be much lower.

    Stan on the otherhand is great and gets a 10/10 no matter if I have to see it on the whole project or a single song.

    I knew I enjoyed this a lot more than MMLP2, but comparing my ratings to what I just gave MMLP2 in the other thread, this is a ton better. Much fewer garbage tracks -- only Won't Back Down, So Bad, and LTWYL are the tracks I'll skip every time (LTWYL is better than the other two -- I just heard it 500x too much when it was constantly on the radio). WTP and On Fire are pretty awful tracks, by Eminem standards at least, but they aren't really "unlistenable" to me. Everything else on the album is "decent" at worst, with quite a few tracks being surprisingly good.

    4 "Won't Back Down” (featuring Pink) - 2

    6. “Going Through Changes” - 9
    7. “Not Afraid” - 6
    8. “Seduction” - 8

    15. “Love the Way You Lie” (featuring Rihanna) - 6
    16. “You’re Never Over" - 7

    Recovery is easily his best album since 09. The production on some tracks is generic & cheap but the content makes up for it. Eminem touches on subjects I wanted to hear from him.

    I'd say it's easily his best album since TES. I agree with pretty much all your ratings except I'd rate Not Afraid higher. Easily the best first single of his career. Great inspirational track. It's still getting played at sporting events five years later.

    The bonus tracks to Recovery are so bad I'd rather pretend they don't exist.

    Can't believe all the hate LTWYL gets. Makes me want to put my fist through a window, but this song taught me that would just cause window pain
