Didn't mind Recovery when it first came out, now it's probably my least replayed Eminem album (I personally think Relapse is awesome hahah). I'm interested to see what direction he takes for this one.

still, this is good news.

This pretty much sums up my feelings about Recovery and the next album, well-put.

Bad Meets Evil was awesome. Huge progression from Recovery which was forever ago, so why dont we at least discuss his most recent release. Maybe 1-2 weak tracks out of the 12 or so that came from those recordings.

I think you missed the point lol
