Recovery is the seventh studio album by American rapper Eminem, released June 18, 2010, on Polydor Records and Interscope Records. Production for the album took place during 2007 to 2010 and was handled by several record producers, including Alex da Kid, Just Blaze, Boi-1da, Denaun Porter, Havoc, Script Shepherd, Supa Dups, Jim Jonsin, DJ Khalil, Emile, and Dr. Dre.

Background

In a press release, Eminem explained that he and Dr. Dre had recorded a considerable amount of music and thus, "Putting out Relapse 2 will let everyone get all of the best stuff."[2] According to Angela Yee's Shade 45 interview with Eminem on April 23, 2009, Relapse 2 will be a continuation of Relapse.[3] During the interview Eminem also confirmed "It's extremely close to being finished, it just depends on how many songs I want to put on it."[4] On June 25, 2009, Eminem called into Shade 45 and said he was in the studio finishing up Relapse 2.[5]

Music

In a Shade 45 interview, Eminem explained that the album was more "emotionally driven" than the first Relapse record, which was, as he explains "[just] rap records".[6] When premiering the debut single, Eminem also let listeners know that there weren't any skits on the album, so the album would contain more songs than his previous studio albums.[7]

In an interview with The Alchemist, he confirmed a song titled "Insult to Injury" in which Eminem performs in his normal voice. He described the song as somewhat of a sequel to "Underground," the final track from the previous album, Relapse. Another confirmed song is titled "Hit Me With Your Best Shot". The song features his rap group D12, Bizarre of D12 said the new song shows the groups strength despite losing Proof, who was the founder of the group. "We're still family, but everybody's got their own situations going on," he added. "No matter what y'all do, you can't hold D12 down. We've been through a lot of shit, but we're still gonna come back and recover."[8] When speaking to MTV, affiliate DJ Whoo Kid stated he heard some songs from the album. He confirmed that the song, "The Warning," a diss record to Mariah Carey, was not as intense as the entire album would be, saying the album is 'maniacal'.[9] On October 3, 2009, Eminem appeared on Shade 45 with DJ Whoo Kid where he stated that a track with 50 Cent, in which the two rap together on verses, existed.[10] In the same interview, he also confirmed both Just Blaze and Denaun Porter as producers on the album.[10] Bizarre of D12 stated that the group recorded a song for the album tentatively titled "Hit Me With Your Best Shot".[11]

On April 13, 2010, Eminem tweeted "There is no Relapse 2" to his followers. When he tweeted this, people started to believe that he was not releasing an album at all, but it meant simply that the album would be changed to Recovery. He confirmed this by tweeting "Recovery" with a link to his website. Eminem said "I had originally planned for Relapse 2 to come out last year. But as I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a completely new album. The music on Recovery came out very different from Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title."[12][13] On April 27, Eminem released a freestyle titled "Despicable" over "Over" by Drake and "Beamer, Benz, or Bentley" by Lloyd Banks featuring Juelz Santana as promo for the first single, "Not Afraid", which debuted on Shade 45 on April 29.[14] In a recent interview Eminem said "I must have gone through 200-300 beats, for the album and chose 100 of them and recorded it."[15]

Guests

As for guests on the album, Eminem had confirmed back when the album was still entitled Relapse 2 that he worked with both Dr. Dre and 50 Cent on the album. D12, Royce da 5'9",[16] Lloyd Banks[17] and Cashis[18] had been speculated as possible features on the album. However, none of these artists are actually featured. Recovery only featured guest appearances by rapper Lil Wayne and solo singers Kobe, Pink and Rihanna. In interview with Skyrock FM Eminem said he decided to include Pink on "Won't Back Down" after recording his parts first because he "felt like she would smash this record".[19]

Release and promotion

His seventh studio album,[12][2][20] Recovery was confirmed during a press release by Eminem's label on March 5, 2009 and was originally titled Relapse 2. In June 2009, Eminem said that he expected a release during the fourth quarter of 2009,[5] with Rolling Stone reporting a November 2009 release date,[21] but in November 2009, he stated that he would re-release Relapse, with extra songs, to hold fans over for the release of Relapse 2 in 2010.[22] It was voted the most anticipated album of fall 2009 by XXL,[23] It was slated to be the second Eminem album released in 2009, after Relapse, but was pushed back to 2010.[22] Recovery is set to be released on June 21 in the United States and the United Kingdom, and on June 18 in the rest of Europe.[24]

Eminem has done multiple interviews such as with Red Bull in promotion of the album. A commercial for Recovery premiered during Game 6 of the 2010 NBA Finals. It featured Vince Offer from the Slap Chop commercials in a parody of his commercials.[25] Also a Call of Duty: Black Ops Advert with Eminem's song Won't Back Down was released. On June 15, Eminem appeared amongst other artists including Usher and Will.i.am for Activision's press conference during the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010 with Rihanna where the duo performed "Love the Way You Lie". In addition, Eminem performed "Lose Yourself", "Not Afraid", and premiered "Won't Back Down" for the first time.[26] Eminem apeared on E! during their Daily 10 show in an interview. He also appeared in a skit on The Soup.

Artwork

The album artwork was released through Eminem.com. The album features two covers: One with Eminem walking down a country road and another with him sitting in a transparent living room in the middle of Detroit with the Renaissance Center in the background. The albums liner features pictures of Eminem such as a picture of him "praying" and him posing without a shirt on. The album is dedicated "2 anyone who's In a dark place tryin' to 2 get out. Keep your head up... It does get better!" [sic][27]

Upon its release, Recovery received generally positive reviews from most music critics.[38] At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 61, based on 16 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[38] Despite viewing its structure as inconsistent, Allmusic writer David Jeffries gave it 3½ out of 5 stars and praised Eminem's performance as potent and energetic, writing "It may be flawed and the rapper’s attitude is sometimes one step ahead of his output, but he hasn’t sounded this unfiltered and proud since The Marshall Mathers LP".[28] Entertainment Weekly's Simon Vozick-Levinson noted "gratuitous nastiness" as a weakness, but stated "Eminem's lyrical craftsmanship is second to none on new album, and there are flashes of new maturity".[29] PopMatters writer Mike Schiller praised Eminem's "sense of self-awareness" and maturity in his lyrics, but ultimately viewed "his hateful asides and misogynist tendencies" and inconsistent shifts in subject matter as the album's flaws.[33] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times regarded Eminem as "frustratingly limited in his topical range" and called Recovery "the most insular of all his releases".[31] Andy Gill of The Independent gave it 3 out of 5 stars and expressed that "there's nothing here quite as witty or engaging as" on his previous work.[39] Chicago Tribune writer Greg Kot gave the album 2 out of 4 stars and wrote that it "is brutally short on hooks and, most of all, fun. The subversive humor is long gone, and his cultural references (David Cook? Austin Powers? Yet another dis of Mariah Carey?) remain dated".[40] Slant Magazine's M.T. Richards called the album's material "unsurprisingly hollow" and panned Eminem's lyrics, writing "there's nothing altogether endearing about his facade: shouting earnestly one track, cackling devilishly as he kicks a woman in her pussy the next... his punchlines rarely resonate; his nasal bark of a delivery grows tiring fast; and his pop culture references... are inane".[35]

In contrast, The Daily Telegraph commended his "undeniable sense of empathy and humanity" and lyricism, writing "he pushes his metaphors and multiple rhymes to the limit, switching between anger and remorse, pride and self-loathing, all the while revelling in his own complexity".[41] BBC Online's Mike Diver found its varied production as a weakness, but ultimately praised Eminem's introspective lyrics and wrote that he "is more genuinely impassioned than he’s sounded in years".[42] Rolling Stone's Jody Rosen it 4 out of 5 stars and called it Eminem's "most casual-sounding album in years".[34] Despite perceiving its longevity as a weakness, The Detroit News writer Adam Graham gave Recovery a B rating and lauded Eminem's personal themes of recovery.[43] Boston Herald writer Martin Caballero perceived a maturity in his lyrical themes and called it "a classic Eminem album, packed with black humor, bleak introspection and furious multisyllabic rhymes".[44] The Boston Globe's James Reed wrote that "Eminem cuts a ferocious presence on 'Recovery', by turns defensive and vulnerable".[45] Steve Jones of USA Today called it "a strong return to the form" for Eminem and praised his transition in "tone and attitude" from previous albums, stating "He aims for substance over shock value, vividly spilling out details of his various tribulations".[36] The A.V. Club's Sean O'Neal gave it a B rating and viewed its guest artists as complimentary to his performance, stating "while the endless atonement metaphors threaten to make Recovery a maudlin affair, at moments like these, Eminem soars over his lowered expectations".[46]

New York Daily News writer Jim Farber gave it 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "if the new music lacks the edge of the albums the star now disavows -- and if it even veers into the gooey at times -- Eminem's great gift, his flow, never sounded more fluid or changeable".[47] The Guardian's Paul MacInnes praised Eminem's lyricism, but viewed its production as a weakness and wrote "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".[48] Los Angeles Times writer Jeff Weiss gave the album 2½ out of 4 stars and comended Eminem's "dazzling internal patterns and clever word play", but panned its production and called it "monochromatic and monotonous".[30] The Observer's Kitty Empire expressed a mixed response towards his lyrical themes and described the album as "a long march through Mathers's contradictions, punctuated with splatter-flick levels of lyrical gore".[49] Sputnikmusic writer Adam Downer gave it 3 out of 5 stars and stated "self-deprecation is a horrible color on Eminem".[50] Sean Fennessey of The Washington Post viewed that its songs are "weighed down by some brutal samples" and described the album as "a morose picture of an artist grappling, and often losing his grip".[37] Pitchfork Media writer Jayson Greene gave the album a 2.8/10 rating and perceived a lack of lyrical depth, stating "Eminem spends nearly half of Recovery insisting he's the best rapper alive, but for the first time in his career, he actually sounds clumsy".[32] Newsday's Glenn Gamboa expressed a mixed response towards the album's "excess" and wrote that "For long stretches, Eminem sounds like a slugger in the midst of a slump, looking to try anything to recapture a bit of his old magic".[51] Giving it a 7/10 rating, RapReviews writer Jesal Padania noted various inconsistencies and found the album "enjoyable", while writing "One individual might completely love it, another hate it - for pretty much the same reasons... not his best, nor his worst, but either people will listen incessantly or barely at all. There is no middle ground".[52]
