Eminem “Recovery”
Standouts - “Talkin’ 2 Myself,” “Won’t Back Down,” “Going Through Changes,” “Not Afraid”

One thing you can count on from an Eminem album is honesty, sometime to his detriment. And his seventh album, “Recovery,” is no different. If I had to use one word to describe this CD, it would have to be therapeutic. He uses the songs “Talkin’ 2 Myself,” “Won’t Back Down” and others to discuss his relationship with his ex and children as well as his mind state of the death of friend Proof. And unlike his previous release “Relapse,” Eminem seemingly rediscovers his passion for rhyming on “Recovery.”
