KelKJun 23, 2010Best I've heard from Em in a while, but the overall sound is a been there done that. Still I would suggest a giving the record a listen.

MikeLJun 22, 2010This is a pretty mediocre album. Em's lyrics are definitely there, but the production is pretty bad, and his singing voice gets annoying after a while. I'd say it's still better than relapse, but it does not even compare to the eminem show or the marshall mathers LP.

Aug 31, 2010This is Just not a good album really yes if he's not screaming he's cussing I've heard worse though his verses are good but it seems his beats are repetitive and he tries to hard to tell make himself seem as innocent we all want to hear your story but tell it raw but with less screaming and cussing and less pop and rap and more REAL

Dec 25, 2011I haven't been such a big fan of Eminem or Rap in general for a long time know but when I heard this, I honestly lost a lot of respect for him, jesus this is awful this is going to spawn a fan base that obviously isn't familiar with his earlier and much better work that was very much a fan of but all that is now lost in this latest album.

Jan 13, 2012A lot better then Relapse but I did not like how Eminem sold out on this album (Lil Wayne, Rihanna, and Pink...come on). Also it only had a few good songs, The rest was trash.

Mar 24, 2013Some songs like "Love the Way You Lie" and "Not Afraid" were fantastic, but a lot of the other tracks weren't very impressing. I would have liked that Eminem would not have used all of those background vocals in his songs because he clearly has enough talent to go without them except when he is singing instead of rapping.

May 27, 2013This album is ok. His lyricism is great but his flow is not as good as it used to be and the production is poor but this album will appeal to the mainstream audience.

Jan 21, 2016few songs fall short due to poor production. eminem shows he can still deliver hard hitting bars with aggression and good storytelling. the pop oriented ones i didnt like much due to eminems terrible attempt of singing the hooks. however some of the songs off here i did enjoy. may not add up to his past work. but still shows he hasnt lost it.

Jul 1, 2017A few standout tracks but an overall mediocre album. Definitely one of Eminem's most radio friendly albums and much of the music on this album sounds forced.
-
Jul 28, 2019Recovery holds some of the irredeemable traits that most 2010s Eminem projects are littered with, but the couple of classic songs have to drag up the rating (Not Afraid, Beautiful) to average. A pretty bad overall effort as a whole, but it's still not worth bashing for the few shining moments it possesses.

Dec 25, 2017Corny. Just really really corny. In my opinion this is when em started REALLY losing touch with the true rap world. No Love is dope though.

Aug 7, 2021This album is a little overpraised but it's still pretty good.
Best songs: Going through Changes
Worst songs: - -
Feb 23, 2020disappointing, too many pop sounds and singing. There's good songs in there like cold wind blows, no love. going through changes (the hook is whack) and maybe MAYBE not afraid, but these songs can't save the entire project

Jul 19, 2023Review só pra lembrar a nota que eu dei pro album:
album ruinzinho, agora só escrever pra passar dos 75 caracteres. -
Jul 25, 2023Recovery is Eminem's most commercial album and that holds him back from the style of music that he came to be respected by in the first place.
Best track: No Love (feat. Lil Wayne)
Worst track: Space Bound
Best feature: Lil Wayne

Jan 7, 2011No matter how cleverly he's rhyming, which varies, he could use subject matter beyond married-to-the-game and his traditional obsessions. But with Shady in the shadows, rarely are these themes lifted by Em's long-recessive sense of play.
-
Much of Recovery centers around such themes as romantic devotion and anxiety, but the resulting material rings unsurprisingly hollow.
-
Sadly, a piecemeal approach to production (Dr Dre has just one credit) leaves the album lacking an abiding mood and drowning in fashionable soft-rock samples.
