    You are absolutely right and it is f---ing wild. When Recovery dropped MMLP felt like a lifetime ago. Right now Recovery feels like a couple of years ago. It blows my mind how the older we get the faster our perception of time speeds up.

    ppl went crazy the first few days. then the dissent, backlash to the accent and content kicked in. huge overcorrection happened.

    There was a very split reaction when it first dropped. I've always enjoyed it despite the accents and content, it still feels like the last 'real' Eminem album. I found it weird that Refill got panned so heavily when it dropped though, even though it sounded to me like he was starting to get it right again on songs like h--- Breaks Loose and Drop the Bomb on Em, even Music Box to an extent. Then he just completely lost everything on Recovery lol.

    d---, to think it's the same timespan from MMLP to Recovery as from Recovery to MTBMB. I still consider Recovery as "recent".

    I still remember when it leaked and I just sat in front of the computer with my sister through the entire first spin in silence. Just like whoa

    I was 16 at the time and loved every single song. Never heard anything like it.

    Leading up to release though, I wasn't a HUGE fan of We Made You but I think I convinced myself it was amazing in the context of everything else dropping at the time. I loved the I'm Having a Relapse freestyle when it dropped, it got me so hyped. I loved 3AM too. But some of my friends pointed out the accent and said it was wack. Lol. I was just like iTs An ArTiStIc ChOiCe GuYz

    To be fair he released that Shady compilation in 14 and did the boxing movie soundtrack in 2015. A ton of features, too.



    Curtain Call dropped in 05, the Re Up(though we knew most of his stuff was old) in 06 and then virtually nothing in 07-08. Peephole, Touchdown, a Trick Trick song and that freestyle in late 2008 that marked his return from his hiatus.

    It leaked late at night my time so I played it once. Couldn't believe I was hearing new eminem songs after so long. I remember Insane and Underground made a strong impression on me, like "he's really crazy". I felt uneasy.

    But it took me a long time to realize the album is a masterpiece.

    Even at the height of stan days I was super wary of what the album would be like—3AM, Crack a Bottle, and We Made You weren't exactly what I'd had in mind for his return lol. To put it into perspective, Encore came out when I was in 8th grade and Relapse came out when I was a senior in high school, so at that point in my life it felt like he'd been gone forever.

    I remember listening for the first time and thinking he was 100% back when I heard My Mom, and then the rest of the album was sort of ups and downs of me loving it and thinking "what the f--- am I listening to." At school people were really mixed on it. Half loved it and half thought it was terrible. But by that point kids were generally much more into Kanye, T.I., Jeezy, houston rap, Drake was first popping, etc.

    I definitely wrote a "mixed review" for my school paper lol—perhaps the genesis of my posting career (though if memory serves the first review I wrote was for Q-Tip's The Renaissance. I can only imagine how terrible they are lol). Album ended up growing on me though.
