Eminem Recovery (2-LPs)

4 stars out of 5 -- "RECOVERY is his most casual-sounding album in years...He sounds content to be rap's wittiest head case."
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]here's still no MC more capable of rapping a circle into a square, while making you enjoy his displays of sick lyrical imagination."
"Eminem returns to the verbal acrobatics that defined his early work, showering these 17 songs with dazzling cadences and multisyllabic rhymes." -- Grade: B+
Billboard (p.32) - "Eminem certainly sounds recharged on 'Recovery,' delivering nearly every verse with the kind of breathless, amped-up energy that defined early hits like 'Lose Yourself.'"
