Listening to this first song on Eminem’s Recovery album for the first time might make you think it’s going to be a good album. You’ve heard him rap better; this new shouty vocal delivery is fatiguing; but there are some clever lines blown about here and there.
“These are shoes that you can’t fill,” Em delcares, “The day that happens, the world’ll stop spinning and Michael J Fox’ll come to a standstill.” Even better is the cold-catchy chorus. The bridge the song ends with sounds even better. He should’ve switched the two around.
