    If anything it had the most potential to be a classic. Amazing production, a few songs already classic (My Mom/Deja Vu/Hello) the latter that could have been a great single. And some good songs like Elevator / Same Song and Dance / My Darling / Music Box. With a little less accent/cringe lines it could have been solid.

    At least one of the best sounding albums

    By the way, Buffalo Bill is one of Eminem's greatest songs.

    Though I have to admit, I don't necessarily compare it to Recovery. Relapse is a cult classic, but Recovery is an actual 4th classic Eminem album. I have more fun listening to Relapse, but Recovery is a solid album from start to finish.

    Not really. Doesn't even sound like Em for the most part... it's really generic and the amount of obvious label interference in it makes my head hurt

    That's a common criticism of Recovery, but I haven't found anything generic about it. Eminem is still Eminem on it, great verses. Only the beats are unlike him. Even Love The Way You Lie ends with a classic Eminem imagery relating back to the chorus where he'd literally set her and the house on fire.

    Am I the only one who thinks Hello is wack. I mean I can't actually remember the verses but hook is so wack to be a single for Relapse in my opinion. Relapse has grown on me over the years too but I can't really choose on among his post hiatus albums. They all have their positives and negatives.

    Hello was a single? Regardless, Hello is great. Without the accents it would be like I'm Back Part 2.
