In my opinion it's his 3rd best album behind The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP. The only songs I don't like at all are W.T.P. and On Fire. Everything else I could listen to over and over again.
I loved both of those albums. As The World Turns is one of my all time fav songs.
Have you ever heard Infinite? I think it was his first album. I've only heard a few songs off of it, but they were dope. Real dope

I absolutely love Infinite, but I agree with Eminem's opinion on that album. Lyrically, Infinite is Eminem's best album, and one of the best rap albums I've ever heard. However, I am unable to make any emotional connection to any of the songs on the album. If I'm in the mood to hear the craziest rhyme schemes and I don't want to sing/rap along... I'm going to listen to Infinite.
I believe however, music is something that a lot of people connect with emotionally. The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP were able to target anger while I was growing up. Rather than making me a more angry person, it made me more relaxed knowing what Em had been through. Now, Recovery is bringing the emotion of Eminem albums back to me, but in a different way.
I can't wait to read this tomorrow to see if it makes any sense. I am way too tired.
