This album was vital to Eminem's legacy and it did not disappoint. In my opinion, it is his best album since The Eminem Show. The material on the album balanced the clever, "just don't give a fuck" attitude ("Cold Wind Blows") with strong substance ("Talkin' 2 Myself"). Lyrically, Eminem proves again that he is one of the best writers ever. And in perhaps his most emotional record since "Mockingbird", atop a sample from "The Lost Boys" and production from Just Blaze, Eminem pays homage to Proof with "You're Never Over." Dr. Dre's only track "So Bad" is decent, but Just Blaze and DJ Khalil are the album's star producers. Taken as a whole, Recovery was Eminem's return to glory professionally and evidence that he was able to make music that grew with him personally.
