    I loved it when i first heard it.

    I now realise its very corny and the drums are annoying.

    Absolutely loved it. The fact that he admitted Relapse s----d, the accent was gone, promising the fans he'd never let them down again. Keep in mind it leaked right around the same time as Airplanes 2. I was like "holy s---... Eminem is finally back!" Easily his best first single ever. Classic song. It still gets played at sporting events and probably still will be played another ten years from now. By the way, he did keep that promise... until MMLP2.

    I don't really remember but I must've liked it a lot after Relapse songs. But I remember really liking the drums in the beat a lot when Recovery first came out.

    Loved it.Honestly,that song is what made me listen to Em, But after listening 2 classic albums,it wasn't that good any more. But I still bump it on regular basic,it ain't that bad,really motivational :bigquint::jordan:

    Why all the MMLP2 hate, I still bump Don't Front, Legacy, Groundhogs Day, Evil Twin, Berzerk, and couple other occasionally. I like that album:idk:
    Post hiatus ranks definitely
    1. Relapse
    2. MMLP2
    3. Recovery
    mostly because I can only revisit 4 songs from Recovery.

    I thought it was lame, still do. Was super embarrassed when I made my friends listen to it with me for the first time. We were all like, well that was pretty gay.

    One of the few? There were and are still to this day many who enjoy Relapse, such as me. I just don't think it's his greatest work, not the worst either.
