Nice different change. Can’t wait. And I’ll buy them BOTH.
Jay says:
I’m thinkin one is for the back and one for the front but if not I would choose the one to the left
lumber says:
What the hell?
The left one is dope, but the right one? LOL
Gary says:
The cover is alright,but I could care less about the cover they could have a big piece of poop on the cover and I would still buy it if the songs were dope!! All about the music so pumped for this album
JamieLondon says:
Hmm Not Really Feeling The Covers. But Maybe Ill Think Different With The CD In My Hand.
Ok Now The Covers Are Here.
SHOW THAT GOD DAM TRACK LISTING EM !
u only need one cover 4 an album?
i like the first one better
Cudder says:
Well the marshall mathers LP had two different covers. One was him sitting on a porch the other him in a fetal position.
Sikhh says:
i think there might be a double disc
Sdot85 says:
Left one for me…reminds me of the the last seen in 8 Mile when Rabbit walks off into the night and throws up the piece sign. Can’t wait for recovery
lokito says:
hes doing the same thing with the Marshall Mathers LP. 2 different covers thats sick
I’m feeling the left one though it reminds me of his old albums like MMLP? anyone?
Cal says:
Why the fuck wont they just use the one with him lying on the bed(nhjic) that seemed pretty good and def. not as gimmicky as Relapse’s. I also want that red cross gone. When they starting pulling off these themes like the prescription tags with Relapse and the cross with these covers it just makes me weary since his best works had just a plain pic of him, a set and the album name period.
Fat Boy says:
RECOVERY!!!! i like the left one
Drucifer1983 says:
Its just like the MMLP, 2 covers, the one on the porch and one in the gutter
I like the 2nd one, looks pretty cool, Now I want the tracklisting
Forgot, if I were to pick a cover out of the two, the one to the left for sure.
dashadyonee1 says:
i prefer he one on the right
the one on the left looks too 8mile
his best album cover mmlp & the eminem show !!!!
ynkeesnum1fan says:
double albums dont have two covers. they both in the same CD case. having two different album covers is very smart, it’ll get ppl to buy 2 cds. double the sales…plus is like collectors item to buy both. i know i will
NahSon says:
Nah son, these is wack. Eminem going double carboard.
Don says:
I like the left one the road to Recovery
console says:
For a second I thought he was playing xbox.
Theloneus says:
This album cover is dope. This would look so sick on my iPod.
biggar says:
Em and Interscope gettin their hustle on.
Cash grab.
I take the right one.
haha says:
@Cal
Chill out its just a cover. Its not like it will affect the music. haha
Redrocboy says:
Can’t really decide both look dope as hell
Fat Boy says:
@console lol can u imagine walkin in detroit and seeing eminem outside in a cube barrier like in the 2nd pic RECOVERY!!!!!!!!!!!
Drucifer1983 says:
@Nah Son
Pass the blunt man, you must be burnin that purple Kush over there
CP says:
Get it, he’s Recovering in a glass box reading books..”quaranteened”
KW says:
The more I think about it, the right one could be the digital cover since it’s more modern and the left one could be the one in the stores. Just a thought.
Pc says:
Anyone get the concept? The first one hes walking away? From rap maybe? And the second one maybe he feels like hes boxed in?
CP says:
“road to recovery” tougne in cheek…
Gary says:
I think they should starting promoting it more, I mean Em already has a lot of hype but were less then 1 month away we got the covers 1 single,no music video, common the wait is killing me ha
Hip Hop Is Dead says:
i hope soulja boy on this album NO JOKE, i think they could be dope together
Drucifer1983 says:
The one on the left looks kinda like the Cover of the 8 mile soundtrack, just walking down the street.
If I have an option I’ll get the one on the right but artwork isnt really the most important thing anyway
Now leak the tracklisting
VORTEX says:

both are dope, but id pick the one on the left. looks simple, and i can easily be seeing that cover fitting a classic album perfectly
Jay Electronica says:
Eminem + Jimmy = New World Order
PrettyChicoWhatDeyCalledEm says:
shiit both are super dope but i like the right one cause it’s more of an original concept and it’s cool seeing him reading.
now i gotta buy 3 albums on the 22nd, em v1, em v2, and the roots crew

Jay Electronica says:
My Ears Is On Recovery From That Wack Ass Relapse Album

mangomunky says:
@stackhouse101
never thought of it this way, but damn, the way you said it actually makes sense
sinister says:
theyre not front and back covers why would they both have the parental advisory label on if one of them was the back?
Eminem gonna need to Recover after this wack ass album flops. SMDH. Who the hell told him these were a good look?
NahSon says:
im just kiddin eminem is the best
D!A!E says:

NahSon says:
Well, was the best. Until he released three wack ass albums back-to-back-to-back (Encore/Re-Up/Relapse)
Drucifer1983 says:
Wonder when the next single is droppin
RED RANGER says:
Hip Hop Is In RECOVERY!!!!!!!!
Gordon B. says:
“Eminem gonna need to Recover after this wack ass album flops”
Get down to earth son, Drake ain’t gonna do no 1mil first week and Em ain’t gonna flop.
RED RANGER says:
@NahSon lol niga said Re-Up lol
Zombie says:
The covers are growing on me. I kinda like the 1st one better but then again i like the 2nd one.!… hmmm. But the cover gonna look better with the actual cd case. Recovery June 22.! Everybody cop that shit.!!!!!!!!!!! Hope it sells 1mil first week. does anyone think it would.? but he needs to promote it.! go on jimmy kimmel like last year.
ans says:
this is dope. gives me the feeling eminem’s going to speak on some real real-world shit for once in this album. representing the d indeed.
money mitch says:

Drucifer1983 says:

Fat Boy says:
@Says Who, Cosign watch evrybody on lebrons d#$%, when Wade gets some team mates this summer then evrybody gona be on his d#$%
comin from a big eminem fan… these album covers are dumb but if i had to choose its the first one. it has a 8 mile look to it
Cal says:
@Gary
I agree, this album wont sell well and this is coming from a certified Em stan. This has been the laziest marketing I’ve ever seen for a Major Eminem album. If they put as much effort as they did to promote Relapse now we’d be at a fever pitch especially since the material is superior but for some reason its like their all passed out in the studio playing around with twitter. Recovery is around 28 days away and all they’ve given us is one single and a few covers, what the fuck is this a mixtape? Wake up nyuckas!!
If you remember, Em didnt start popping up on TV shows and MTV till 2 or 3 weeks before Relapse dropped……..I expect to see alot of dude 2 weeks from now
Not to Mention Not Afraid has already sold over 700K on Itunes and went #1 its first week
alexis(: says:
Omg, this is like something really different compared to his previous album covers!:DD so excited fo the new album…(;
Nice says:
when is the second single coming out?????????????????
Cameron says:
HIP HOP IS DEAD: are you ok? soulja boy and eminem. its like taking candy from a baby. u say hip hop is dead but support the girl who ruined it in soulja boy. eat a dick. u got no taste in music. LOLOLOLOLOL
Nice says:
The one on the left is when he was poor but free..the one on the right is the rich em but he feels boxed in!
Zombie says:
MAN OH MAN I HOPE EMINEM STARTS PROMOTING THE ALBUM.!! LOL CAUSE MILEY CYRUS AKA HANNA MONTANA ALBUM COMES OUT THE SAME DAY TOO.! LOL IF EM GETS BEAT BY MILEY THAT WILL BE EMBARSSING
lup says:
@cal
breaking billboard history with his first single is pretty big marketing my brah. not to mention em can and does go at least gold his first week on his name alone. him and maybe jigga now are the only rappers who could do that at this point
dani says:
dang..
i can’t wait for the album to drop.
James says:
Over a hundred comments?
Really??
PrettyChicoWhatDeyCalledEm says:
@James
yes really
money mitch says:
@ james
What do you expect they are crazy about this guy
btw drucifer your right coachs unfairly take the brunt sometime but just like dope/music/movies whatever only the players change game stays the same
fred durrst says:
left
r says:
he made two covers for marshall mathers so its jus somethin he likes to do
Big H says:
“that I had it mapped out but I guess I didn’t, this fucking black cloud still follows me around”
shady50 says:
I like the album covers. I’m so psyched for this album now. I’m almost for sure it will be a classic. It’ll probably be his best album production wise since The Eminem Show.
llll says:
NICE…traclist will be announced few days later!Paul said he was finishing giving credits and editing lyrics 2 days ago, and the album covers got released because Paul is almost finished so second single and tracklist will be out first week of June!
What makes me mad it’s the haters always find something to complain about….
yall crying about the cover??
the box??
or the O on the cover?
haters will ever be haters…
now i’m just askin for the tracklist!!!
Ac@pella! says:
I’m coppin’ the one on the right, just because it has the Renaissance Center in it. I don’t get the tv/couch/in a box thing tho. Lol. Maybe it’s goin’ over my head. Fuck it. I just woke up. 🙂
Interscope Employee says:
2 covers like MMLP…I like
hiphopfan says:
i agree with everyone who is saying that we haven’t gotten enough stuff from recovery and that the promotion is weak…if there is any. drake’s album has about 5 leaked songs, album cover, tracklist, and he has been touring promoting the new album. all we have gotten from recovery is the album cover and one single. the release date for recovery is less than a month away and i would be surprised if the release wasn’t delayed, last year em was on tv a lot promoting relapse on european and american late night shows
junk juice says:
wow, cats freaking out over album covers. u know u got people tied around your finger with that shit…
HawthorneFinest says:
Haters drop Dead!
this shit is Super Sick!
I know it’s too basic, but the album itself is gonna kick-ass!
waaaaay better than Drake’s shitty 3D wanna-be album cover!!!
oh by the way….Fuck Doc Dre!!!!
Zombie says:
@ Ac@pella
this is what DON said and it made sense
Left one is the road to recovery
One on the right is a glasshouse.
The definition for glasshouse is.
– A place, position, or situation involving intense public scrutiny.
Eminem hates being a celebrity.
So he feels like he lives in a glass house, you know, with transparent walls… no privacy.
Everyones watching him
mmkayy says:
both boring but imma go w/ the one on the left….
Toya says:
The one on the left makes me wonder “Where’s he going?” and “Is he wearing a bullet proof vest?”; the one on the right seems more complex than Em’s previous album covers. (Reminds me more of a alternative rock album cover than a rap album cover. Actually… both of them seem like alternative rock covers to me.) But I would buy the album cover on the right because it seems more appealling to me.
sPiR1TuaL xxx says:
@ llll
Where you heard that from?
If it’s true,hellllzzzz yeaaaa.One thing I don’t get is why you people ignorantly criticize art.If you don’t like a certain person’s music,don’t listen to it but,don’t insult or judge them without a sufficient reason.
lokito says:
I’m going to get the left one because the one on the right is him reading books.. I hate reading books…
Drucifer1983 says:
@ Hiphopfan
Em wasnt on TV until the month relapse dropped man……Em will be popping up on some Shows soon
I think having Not Afraid make history and Go #1 is a pretty good sign of where the buzz is at, none of Drakes Songs from TML have done that…………
Isint he doin a radio interview on the 1st and jonathon ross on the 4th?? thats what i herd..
mcielandish says:
@zombie or what if they had him Throwing stones in it?
shadyxbaby313 says:
its ok, i hope the music is hardcore and nothing like not afraid.
i love the old eminem, the hard hitting lyrics… the songs where
he pours his soul out in his lyrics. <33
mcielandish says:
If the one on the right is a glass house That is one small Ass Motherfucking house lol
Zombie says:
@ PITRI
yea man thanks for that info about jonathan ross.! i just looked it up and yea eminem is going to be on Friday night with jonathan ross June 4th. Alongside with Andy Roddick, LL Cool J, and Christina Aguilera. Eminem gonna be happy cause he loves LL.! haha anyone seen that prank call.? jason from miami.! haha
WHITE GUY WHO LIKES RAP says:
dude slim playin ps3 in front of them GM buildings lol shit dope doe .cant wait,,,,,,, best cd of the year whatch n see bitchesssssssssssss
Ac@pella! says:
@Zombie
Thanx bro. I had a real blonde moment there. Lol. I jus ain’t feel like readin’ all these damn comments so I skipped down and commented myself. ‘Preciate that fam.
Ac@pella! says:
Dope ass covers Em. Can’t wait to hear the album. Shit is gonna be crazy.
chickychicky says:
i feel like the left one is more like his old covers, he is vulnerable and pondering…the second one kinda shows how he is now, isolated and boxed in
mcielandish says:
@chickychicky I think the one on the right could be that he is exposing himself and being vulnerable and Obviously comfortable at the same time. Embracing his celebrity Status for once
Ny Stand Up says:
Dope, he shoulda jus picked 1 tho. Either way, its gnna sell cus the stans. We NEED that Track List 4real
LILMAN says:
THE RIGHT ONE! IT MAKES MORE SENCE! THE LEFT IS MORE 8MILE .. DA RIGHT IS WHAT HE TRYNA GET TO PEOPLES HEAD IN RECOVERY!
jr1987 says:
these album covers are dope as hell
Foots says:
Maybe the cover on the right is poking fun at the lazy ass marketing niggas who sit around wtatching tv instead of making sure the promotion for this album is on point! One single? No video for said single? No tracklist? Confirmed Guest?
These niggas just putting out the album cover like “Oh Shit, we never sent out th album covers!” while sptting out their coffee and rolling off the couch.
@NahSon and even with those back to back “wack ablums” (ignoring re-up cuz that wasnt even a Eminem Solo Album) , has Eminem EVER flopped? Like ever? Thats like asking if LeBron James has or ever will win a ring….the answers HELL NO nigga lol
Drucifer1983 says:
@ Foots
lol, for real, Em could put this album out tomorrow and it would go gold, Not afraid sold over 600,000 copies in 2 weeks just off Itunes………
Video does need to drop tho, I think they’ll get the promotion ball rolling here this week
Yeah that vid better drop this week….they coulda kept the ball rolling with Not Afraid if the vid had dropped, for a rap single to debut at #1 and only last one week at #1, that kinda sucks. Could have lasted long if it had a visual people see on tv all the time cuz thats how Em sucks fans in, with the vids. We all know the radio is hardly gonna play him, but who needs the radio not everyone has a car but almost everybody has a damn tv.
Drucifer1983 says:
@ Foots
The radio almost doesnt count anymore, cause a majority of the stuff they play over and over again flops like crazy, especially in Rap, Flo Rida is the perfect example of that, “Right Round” will be stuck in my head forever but that dude aint even come close to gold status……..
Seriously????…..these album covers are straight hideous…….the one on the left is the better of the two but it is still pretty ugly…..That said releasing two covers is smart cause the hardcore fans will more than likely buy both me included
lokito says:
Em your genius!
YOURFUCKED! says:
the gift and the curse of eminem is he doesnt really dumb anything down, he goes over alot of peoples heads with concepts that make sense to him but not everybody gets it. he does the same thing with a lot of his raps, especially recently, songs like forever, drop the world, drop the bomb on em, despicable – a lot of people dont understand who he’s talking about, other people do. both of these covers are very metaphorical, conceptual, and meaningful. em is on another level and he doesnt care if your not. we have plenty of wack generic rappers posing next to their maybachs on their cover, be greatful for the artists that think outside the box.
RapMusic23 says:
Dope,i want the one on the right but both was dope
Slill_Slim_Shady says:
i like the left one. This on right looks a lil… idk looks acward. A big glass box when Em read book and watch TV….. Doesn’t look like Em
matthew says:
I hope none of the males reading this comment are going to BUY Drakes album…
Here are the covers for Eminem’s Recovery album. Not sure if there will be two different covers or if they are going to choose one of these. Which one do you like best?……
the one walkin down the road that makes more sense 2 me wers the tracklist o and 2 hip hop is dead soulja boy and eminem no way wud ever wanna hear that
classic says:
The one on the left is dope as hell. If these are both released a separate album covers I will buy both for sure.
TheCool says:
@Hip Hop Is Dead ……..KILL YA SELF!
JohnCU says:
dope
mac DIESEL says:
I’M DIGGIN’ THE FIRST ONE!!!! IT’S SYMBOLIC!!!! HE’S SAYIN’ HE’S ON THE “ROAD” TO RECOVERY!!!! THE COVER IS SIMPLE YET SYMBLOIC!!!! BUT THE SHIT INSIDE THE CD CASE BETTER BE DOPE TOO!!!! THAT “NOT AFRAID” POP SINGLE AIN’T GETTIN’ IT DONE FOR ME!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
justinaire says:
@Cudder brings up a good point..Eminem only had multiple covers for ONE album..The Marshall Mathers LP because the two concepts of lashing out on fame (the cover of him crouched looking scared) and the concept of taking it back to the roots of his past (Him in front of his old house) were sooo powerful they needed two covers. And no, it wasnt JUST because there was a clean and dirty version because he’s had two versions of his albums ALWAYS and only ONE instance of this.
Also, Mr. Porter said that Recovery sounds like The Marshall Mathers LP. Now I’m not anticipating a worldwide takeover how he did from 2000-2001 when this album ruled EVERYTHING but I do think that Recovery is going to shock ALOT of people with how good it is. And by “people” I mean Hip Hop heads.
Drucifer1983 says:
@ Mac Diesel
The point of a single is top make it a hit record, otherwise why release singles at all??
That said, Not Afraid is alot better then being insulted with another We Made You or Just Lose it, those were really getting old by Without Me, every time he put one out after that it annoyed me more and more
mack attack says:
would u rather the whole album leaked?? fuck that.. this is just like the olden days, restlessly waiting on the release date. i dont want to know every song inside out by the time it drops.. I just cant wait though!!!!
Yeah says:
Usually
1st EM single: weak as fuck
2nd EM single: dope
1st: “Not Afraid” (ok)
2st: fucking dope?
jimmyjams says:
i prefer the left, either way i dont care I JUST WANT THE ALBUM!!!
mac DIESEL says:
@ Drucifer1983
I UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS!!!! I’M JUST SAYIN’ THE WHOLE ALBUM BETTER NOT HAVE THE VIBE OF THE 1ST SINGLE!!!! LIKE U SAID, THOSE SONGS LIKE “WE MADE IT” AND “JUST LOSE IT” GET TIRED!!!! SO DO SONGS LIKE “NOT AFRAID”!!!!
The Covers are nice… you aren’t used to good music… eminem is back better than ever… without the drugs or alcohol… Eat a donkey dick.
JAGODA says:
The right cover is simply unique!!!
Mokh says:
Dope Concept!
better than relapse!
OffMyNutz says:
NahSon,your buggin!Double Platimum easily!Artist of the Decade!Not rapper,Artist!He out sells everyone hater!Shady Baby!!All Day Everyday!Recovery!!Love both covers and will get both!!I have all Ems albums!!The G.O.A.T returns!!!
Champ says:
only a month to the album release and there is no heavy promo by em? come on! i want the track listing, interviews, music videos..i think i wanna buy both too just for the collection part
classic says:
Dope. but the one on the right is kinda random for an album cover…
PrettyChicoWhatDeyCalledEm says:
@ JK
no theyre not you damn retard, why would he put the album title and parental advisory on the front AND back… think before you go callin ppl retards idiot.
anyway this is genius i think a lot of ppl are going to buy both me included and it may push to the milli mark first week.
i was thinking this may start a trend but i dont think anybody has the loyal fan base for it to make a difference, except maybe jay
BK says:
The thing is niggas are so used to rappers just sticking photos of themselves posing with a maybach that when a cover with actual meaning comes along they stumped. The right ones dope.
Better resolution pics here btw: http://www.eminem.com/recovery/default.html

E-Hustle says:
I actually liked the original one with him on the bed the most, but with that said, I prefer the left one. But I am copping both, also downloading officially on itunes, and the actually Record through Bestbuy.com like they did with Relapse. I will never open the the record. Not like I have a player to spin it on anyways.
Best rapper dead or alive. Ever! Gotta support my dude to the fulliest.

bffl08 says:
amazing! I choose the left!
k says:
B
gdt3888 says:
Really like the left cover which is the one I’ll buy June 22nd!
both are dope… the concept behind each is dope! i like the cube he in reading a magazine and the television is infront of him and the one of him working up the road is good…. like he just walking away from the past… i’d say the left
Sin says:
it seem more likely the left will end up on the back
unless he end up doing some sweat/suit type shit
Sin says:
that parental advisory sticker is a muhfucka huh
250MG says:
I like both of them 😀
Wow. says:
It’s hard to choose, but i’m gonna go with the one on the left.
However the one on the left, looks like it would be for a back cover.
[…] did two covers for his upcoming album, Recovery, which drops June 22nd. Spotted at RR (via […]
Miles Jubert Roberson says:
I Like The Cover on the left the best because it really exaplain’s he’s leaving the Fucked up life behind
Wack shit says:
yeah why the hell cant they use the one of him on the bed, its sick and goes good with his album name!!!!!!! If anything use the one on the left and loose the cross its wack
Avery says:
The right cover is the back the tracklist has just not been added to it. To see the back with tracklist check out Eminem’s twitter he posted the image about a week ago
Avery says:
He also posted on twitter the album will be available on the 21st now
ROFL
Why is there 2 covers?
Dope cover on the right though
reminds of rock album covers
1st one 🙂
official…representing the D to the fullest
Different…..
when do we get the tracklist???
Nice, but we want the back cover
A Tutsi is 6th in dis bitch.. I’m confused tho.. Wit dat cover.. Burundi stand up .. Look out for Mwezi nyiiggazz
Lovin the 2nd one they both ok very diferent
The one on the right
[…] […]
The one on the left!!
Nice different change. Can’t wait. And I’ll buy them BOTH.
I’m thinkin one is for the back and one for the front but if not I would choose the one to the left
What the hell?
The left one is dope, but the right one? LOL
The cover is alright,but I could care less about the cover they could have a big piece of poop on the cover and I would still buy it if the songs were dope!! All about the music so pumped for this album
Hmm Not Really Feeling The Covers. But Maybe Ill Think Different With The CD In My Hand.
Ok Now The Covers Are Here.
SHOW THAT GOD DAM TRACK LISTING EM !
Dope.
Prefer the left one tho.
Kinda Wack!! But hey its just a cover right lol..and i think theres to so the stans can buy both…Sell more recordz babby lol…
Dope.
Prefer the Right one tho.
album of the year
[…] […]
u only need one cover 4 an album?
i like the first one better
Well the marshall mathers LP had two different covers. One was him sitting on a porch the other him in a fetal position.
i think there might be a double disc
Left one for me…reminds me of the the last seen in 8 Mile when Rabbit walks off into the night and throws up the piece sign. Can’t wait for recovery
hes doing the same thing with the Marshall Mathers LP. 2 different covers thats sick
I’m feeling the left one though it reminds me of his old albums like MMLP? anyone?
Why the fuck wont they just use the one with him lying on the bed(nhjic) that seemed pretty good and def. not as gimmicky as Relapse’s. I also want that red cross gone. When they starting pulling off these themes like the prescription tags with Relapse and the cross with these covers it just makes me weary since his best works had just a plain pic of him, a set and the album name period.
RECOVERY!!!! i like the left one
Its just like the MMLP, 2 covers, the one on the porch and one in the gutter
I like the 2nd one, looks pretty cool, Now I want the tracklisting
im still gettin both tho lol
Forgot, if I were to pick a cover out of the two, the one to the left for sure.
i prefer he one on the right
the one on the left looks too 8mile
his best album cover mmlp & the eminem show !!!!
double albums dont have two covers. they both in the same CD case. having two different album covers is very smart, it’ll get ppl to buy 2 cds. double the sales…plus is like collectors item to buy both. i know i will
Nah son, these is wack. Eminem going double carboard.
I like the left one the road to Recovery
For a second I thought he was playing xbox.
This album cover is dope. This would look so sick on my iPod.
Em and Interscope gettin their hustle on.
Cash grab.
I take the right one.
@Cal
Chill out its just a cover. Its not like it will affect the music. haha
Can’t really decide both look dope as hell
@console lol can u imagine walkin in detroit and seeing eminem outside in a cube barrier like in the 2nd pic RECOVERY!!!!!!!!!!!
@Nah Son
Pass the blunt man, you must be burnin that purple Kush over there
Get it, he’s Recovering in a glass box reading books..”quaranteened”
The more I think about it, the right one could be the digital cover since it’s more modern and the left one could be the one in the stores. Just a thought.
Anyone get the concept? The first one hes walking away? From rap maybe? And the second one maybe he feels like hes boxed in?
“road to recovery” tougne in cheek…
I think they should starting promoting it more, I mean Em already has a lot of hype but were less then 1 month away we got the covers 1 single,no music video, common the wait is killing me ha
i hope soulja boy on this album NO JOKE, i think they could be dope together
The one on the left looks kinda like the Cover of the 8 mile soundtrack, just walking down the street.
If I have an option I’ll get the one on the right but artwork isnt really the most important thing anyway
Now leak the tracklisting

Freakin sweet i cant wait till june 22 the one on the right is the front and the one on the left is the back b/c there is a huge space where the tracklist is going to be
My Ears Is On Recovery From That Wack Ass Relapse Album
the for sure collabos are DRE, and 50 i wonder if he has more people
@stackhouse101
never thought of it this way, but damn, the way you said it actually makes sense
theyre not front and back covers why would they both have the parental advisory label on if one of them was the back?
@sinister Cosign
[…] RR via Eminem […]
Dope..
My Last Comment >>>>> Eminem Cover
Eminem gonna need to Recover after this wack ass album flops. SMDH. Who the hell told him these were a good look?
im just kiddin eminem is the best
LEFT
best rapper alive Slim motha F’n Shady
Well, was the best. Until he released three wack ass albums back-to-back-to-back (Encore/Re-Up/Relapse)
Wonder when the next single is droppin
Hip Hop Is In RECOVERY!!!!!!!!
“Eminem gonna need to Recover after this wack ass album flops”
Get down to earth son, Drake ain’t gonna do no 1mil first week and Em ain’t gonna flop.
@NahSon lol niga said Re-Up lol
The covers are growing on me. I kinda like the 1st one better but then again i like the 2nd one.!… hmmm. But the cover gonna look better with the actual cd case. Recovery June 22.! Everybody cop that shit.!!!!!!!!!!! Hope it sells 1mil first week. does anyone think it would.? but he needs to promote it.! go on jimmy kimmel like last year.
this is dope. gives me the feeling eminem’s going to speak on some real real-world shit for once in this album. representing the d indeed.
who cares the cavs fired mike brown wtfff
lol
I want to get fucked in the anus by a donkey.
DETROIT
GOAT
Way to rep that D!
@ Money Mitch
And Your surprised??
Somebody was bound to bite the bullet for the cavs, and it usually is the coach
Sucks, but he’ll get picked up by someone, wonder where Lebron gonna be playing next year
@money mitch man fuck the cavs. ITS ll about them timberwolvers baby
just playing i rep the Miami Heat all Day Dwyane Wade da best niga
to all you idiots who don’t get the left one, im pretty sure em’s on the “road” to recovery. makes sense
dope covers
@ Says Who
Nah, its all bout them Sixers, lol (Not Really, but hometown Pride gotta come into play here)
I’m watching Orlando give up the first fight of the series With boston right now, actually a pretty good game
@Says Who, Cosign watch evrybody on lebrons d#$%, when Wade gets some team mates this summer then evrybody gona be on his d#$%
why are there two?
is it a double disc?
@Ducifer damn this series is a let down Magic dont have no Magic left smh
@ Drucifer1983, Fat Boy, Says Who
Lol why you guys talking bout’ basketball on a Eminem Post.????? Lol go talk about it on a Soulja boy, lil wayne post.!
Lakers by the way.! Kobe #24
inspiration for the covers in my opinion “Walk the line” and “Living in a Glasshouse”
@ Fat Boy
Magic up by 6 right now, they tryin for the first time tonight, but I think its too little too late
Dope! Left one for me!
Slim Shady is the best.
@ Zombie
I wouldnt go into a Soulja Boi thread to talk about World Peace bruh, lol
@ Drucifer1983
hahahahahahahaahahahahahahaha
HAHAHAH the info on Eminem’s album cover gonna get more comments than an actual leaked single by Drake…..now question
I like how Em did that thing on the O on Recovery. and the second cover would have been better if there were ppl surounding him, in the glass house.
dope
—-yeah the 100th comment lol—-
^^^^^ Damn yeah that woulda been dope
@Thanke Me Hater Cosign dont mention Jimmy in a EMINEM post
great! i like the left one better
comin from a big eminem fan… these album covers are dumb but if i had to choose its the first one. it has a 8 mile look to it
@Gary
I agree, this album wont sell well and this is coming from a certified Em stan. This has been the laziest marketing I’ve ever seen for a Major Eminem album. If they put as much effort as they did to promote Relapse now we’d be at a fever pitch especially since the material is superior but for some reason its like their all passed out in the studio playing around with twitter. Recovery is around 28 days away and all they’ve given us is one single and a few covers, what the fuck is this a mixtape? Wake up nyuckas!!
Alright thats out of my system, rant over.
Cal, a fan made the one of him lying on a bed.
Left one: boring. Right one: not bad…..
@ Cal
If you remember, Em didnt start popping up on TV shows and MTV till 2 or 3 weeks before Relapse dropped……..I expect to see alot of dude 2 weeks from now
Not to Mention Not Afraid has already sold over 700K on Itunes and went #1 its first week
Omg, this is like something really different compared to his previous album covers!:DD so excited fo the new album…(;
when is the second single coming out?????????????????
HIP HOP IS DEAD: are you ok? soulja boy and eminem. its like taking candy from a baby. u say hip hop is dead but support the girl who ruined it in soulja boy. eat a dick. u got no taste in music. LOLOLOLOLOL
The one on the left is when he was poor but free..the one on the right is the rich em but he feels boxed in!
MAN OH MAN I HOPE EMINEM STARTS PROMOTING THE ALBUM.!! LOL CAUSE MILEY CYRUS AKA HANNA MONTANA ALBUM COMES OUT THE SAME DAY TOO.! LOL IF EM GETS BEAT BY MILEY THAT WILL BE EMBARSSING
@cal
breaking billboard history with his first single is pretty big marketing my brah. not to mention em can and does go at least gold his first week on his name alone. him and maybe jigga now are the only rappers who could do that at this point
dang..
i can’t wait for the album to drop.
Over a hundred comments?
Really??
@James
yes really
@ james
What do you expect they are crazy about this guy
btw drucifer your right coachs unfairly take the brunt sometime but just like dope/music/movies whatever only the players change game stays the same
left
he made two covers for marshall mathers so its jus somethin he likes to do
“that I had it mapped out but I guess I didn’t, this fucking black cloud still follows me around”
I like the album covers. I’m so psyched for this album now. I’m almost for sure it will be a classic. It’ll probably be his best album production wise since The Eminem Show.
NICE…traclist will be announced few days later!Paul said he was finishing giving credits and editing lyrics 2 days ago, and the album covers got released because Paul is almost finished so second single and tracklist will be out first week of June!
What makes me mad it’s the haters always find something to complain about….
yall crying about the cover??
the box??
or the O on the cover?
haters will ever be haters…
now i’m just askin for the tracklist!!!
I’m coppin’ the one on the right, just because it has the Renaissance Center in it. I don’t get the tv/couch/in a box thing tho. Lol. Maybe it’s goin’ over my head. Fuck it. I just woke up. 🙂
2 covers like MMLP…I like
i agree with everyone who is saying that we haven’t gotten enough stuff from recovery and that the promotion is weak…if there is any. drake’s album has about 5 leaked songs, album cover, tracklist, and he has been touring promoting the new album. all we have gotten from recovery is the album cover and one single. the release date for recovery is less than a month away and i would be surprised if the release wasn’t delayed, last year em was on tv a lot promoting relapse on european and american late night shows
wow, cats freaking out over album covers. u know u got people tied around your finger with that shit…
Haters drop Dead!
this shit is Super Sick!
I know it’s too basic, but the album itself is gonna kick-ass!
waaaaay better than Drake’s shitty 3D wanna-be album cover!!!
oh by the way….Fuck Doc Dre!!!!
@ Ac@pella
this is what DON said and it made sense
Left one is the road to recovery
One on the right is a glasshouse.
The definition for glasshouse is.
– A place, position, or situation involving intense public scrutiny.
Eminem hates being a celebrity.
So he feels like he lives in a glass house, you know, with transparent walls… no privacy.
Everyones watching him
both boring but imma go w/ the one on the left….
The one on the left makes me wonder “Where’s he going?” and “Is he wearing a bullet proof vest?”; the one on the right seems more complex than Em’s previous album covers. (Reminds me more of a alternative rock album cover than a rap album cover. Actually… both of them seem like alternative rock covers to me.) But I would buy the album cover on the right because it seems more appealling to me.
@ llll
Where you heard that from?
If it’s true,hellllzzzz yeaaaa.One thing I don’t get is why you people ignorantly criticize art.If you don’t like a certain person’s music,don’t listen to it but,don’t insult or judge them without a sufficient reason.
I’m going to get the left one because the one on the right is him reading books.. I hate reading books…
@ Hiphopfan
Em wasnt on TV until the month relapse dropped man……Em will be popping up on some Shows soon
I think having Not Afraid make history and Go #1 is a pretty good sign of where the buzz is at, none of Drakes Songs from TML have done that…………
you guys are right i take everything back….
Isint he doin a radio interview on the 1st and jonathon ross on the 4th?? thats what i herd..
@zombie or what if they had him Throwing stones in it?
its ok, i hope the music is hardcore and nothing like not afraid.
i love the old eminem, the hard hitting lyrics… the songs where
he pours his soul out in his lyrics. <33
If the one on the right is a glass house That is one small Ass Motherfucking house lol
@ PITRI
yea man thanks for that info about jonathan ross.! i just looked it up and yea eminem is going to be on Friday night with jonathan ross June 4th. Alongside with Andy Roddick, LL Cool J, and Christina Aguilera. Eminem gonna be happy cause he loves LL.! haha anyone seen that prank call.? jason from miami.! haha
dude slim playin ps3 in front of them GM buildings lol shit dope doe .cant wait,,,,,,, best cd of the year whatch n see bitchesssssssssssss
@Zombie
Thanx bro. I had a real blonde moment there. Lol. I jus ain’t feel like readin’ all these damn comments so I skipped down and commented myself. ‘Preciate that fam.
Dope ass covers Em. Can’t wait to hear the album. Shit is gonna be crazy.
i feel like the left one is more like his old covers, he is vulnerable and pondering…the second one kinda shows how he is now, isolated and boxed in
@chickychicky I think the one on the right could be that he is exposing himself and being vulnerable and Obviously comfortable at the same time. Embracing his celebrity Status for once
Dope, he shoulda jus picked 1 tho. Either way, its gnna sell cus the stans. We NEED that Track List 4real
THE RIGHT ONE! IT MAKES MORE SENCE! THE LEFT IS MORE 8MILE .. DA RIGHT IS WHAT HE TRYNA GET TO PEOPLES HEAD IN RECOVERY!
these album covers are dope as hell
Maybe the cover on the right is poking fun at the lazy ass marketing niggas who sit around wtatching tv instead of making sure the promotion for this album is on point! One single? No video for said single? No tracklist? Confirmed Guest?
These niggas just putting out the album cover like “Oh Shit, we never sent out th album covers!” while sptting out their coffee and rolling off the couch.
@NahSon and even with those back to back “wack ablums” (ignoring re-up cuz that wasnt even a Eminem Solo Album) , has Eminem EVER flopped? Like ever? Thats like asking if LeBron James has or ever will win a ring….the answers HELL NO nigga lol
@ Foots
lol, for real, Em could put this album out tomorrow and it would go gold, Not afraid sold over 600,000 copies in 2 weeks just off Itunes………
Video does need to drop tho, I think they’ll get the promotion ball rolling here this week
i think the video mite drop tomarrow..
Yeah that vid better drop this week….they coulda kept the ball rolling with Not Afraid if the vid had dropped, for a rap single to debut at #1 and only last one week at #1, that kinda sucks. Could have lasted long if it had a visual people see on tv all the time cuz thats how Em sucks fans in, with the vids. We all know the radio is hardly gonna play him, but who needs the radio not everyone has a car but almost everybody has a damn tv.
@ Foots
The radio almost doesnt count anymore, cause a majority of the stuff they play over and over again flops like crazy, especially in Rap, Flo Rida is the perfect example of that, “Right Round” will be stuck in my head forever but that dude aint even come close to gold status……..
It’s front and back you goddamn retards.
Seriously????…..these album covers are straight hideous…….the one on the left is the better of the two but it is still pretty ugly…..That said releasing two covers is smart cause the hardcore fans will more than likely buy both me included
Em your genius!
the gift and the curse of eminem is he doesnt really dumb anything down, he goes over alot of peoples heads with concepts that make sense to him but not everybody gets it. he does the same thing with a lot of his raps, especially recently, songs like forever, drop the world, drop the bomb on em, despicable – a lot of people dont understand who he’s talking about, other people do. both of these covers are very metaphorical, conceptual, and meaningful. em is on another level and he doesnt care if your not. we have plenty of wack generic rappers posing next to their maybachs on their cover, be greatful for the artists that think outside the box.
Dope,i want the one on the right but both was dope
i like the left one. This on right looks a lil… idk looks acward. A big glass box when Em read book and watch TV….. Doesn’t look like Em
I hope none of the males reading this comment are going to BUY Drakes album…
Official “Recovery” Album Covers…
Here are the covers for Eminem’s Recovery album. Not sure if there will be two different covers or if they are going to choose one of these. Which one do you like best?……
the one walkin down the road that makes more sense 2 me wers the tracklist o and 2 hip hop is dead soulja boy and eminem no way wud ever wanna hear that
The one on the left is dope as hell. If these are both released a separate album covers I will buy both for sure.
@Hip Hop Is Dead ……..KILL YA SELF!
dope
I’M DIGGIN’ THE FIRST ONE!!!! IT’S SYMBOLIC!!!! HE’S SAYIN’ HE’S ON THE “ROAD” TO RECOVERY!!!! THE COVER IS SIMPLE YET SYMBLOIC!!!! BUT THE SHIT INSIDE THE CD CASE BETTER BE DOPE TOO!!!! THAT “NOT AFRAID” POP SINGLE AIN’T GETTIN’ IT DONE FOR ME!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
@Cudder brings up a good point..Eminem only had multiple covers for ONE album..The Marshall Mathers LP because the two concepts of lashing out on fame (the cover of him crouched looking scared) and the concept of taking it back to the roots of his past (Him in front of his old house) were sooo powerful they needed two covers. And no, it wasnt JUST because there was a clean and dirty version because he’s had two versions of his albums ALWAYS and only ONE instance of this.
Also, Mr. Porter said that Recovery sounds like The Marshall Mathers LP. Now I’m not anticipating a worldwide takeover how he did from 2000-2001 when this album ruled EVERYTHING but I do think that Recovery is going to shock ALOT of people with how good it is. And by “people” I mean Hip Hop heads.
@ Mac Diesel
The point of a single is top make it a hit record, otherwise why release singles at all??
That said, Not Afraid is alot better then being insulted with another We Made You or Just Lose it, those were really getting old by Without Me, every time he put one out after that it annoyed me more and more
would u rather the whole album leaked?? fuck that.. this is just like the olden days, restlessly waiting on the release date. i dont want to know every song inside out by the time it drops.. I just cant wait though!!!!
Usually
1st EM single: weak as fuck
2nd EM single: dope
1st: “Not Afraid” (ok)
2st: fucking dope?
i prefer the left, either way i dont care I JUST WANT THE ALBUM!!!
@ Drucifer1983
I UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS!!!! I’M JUST SAYIN’ THE WHOLE ALBUM BETTER NOT HAVE THE VIBE OF THE 1ST SINGLE!!!! LIKE U SAID, THOSE SONGS LIKE “WE MADE IT” AND “JUST LOSE IT” GET TIRED!!!! SO DO SONGS LIKE “NOT AFRAID”!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
The Covers are nice… you aren’t used to good music… eminem is back better than ever… without the drugs or alcohol… Eat a donkey dick.
The right cover is simply unique!!!
Dope Concept!
better than relapse!
NahSon,your buggin!Double Platimum easily!Artist of the Decade!Not rapper,Artist!He out sells everyone hater!Shady Baby!!All Day Everyday!Recovery!!Love both covers and will get both!!I have all Ems albums!!The G.O.A.T returns!!!
only a month to the album release and there is no heavy promo by em? come on! i want the track listing, interviews, music videos..i think i wanna buy both too just for the collection part
Dope. but the one on the right is kinda random for an album cover…
@ JK
no theyre not you damn retard, why would he put the album title and parental advisory on the front AND back… think before you go callin ppl retards idiot.
anyway this is genius i think a lot of ppl are going to buy both me included and it may push to the milli mark first week.
i was thinking this may start a trend but i dont think anybody has the loyal fan base for it to make a difference, except maybe jay
The thing is niggas are so used to rappers just sticking photos of themselves posing with a maybach that when a cover with actual meaning comes along they stumped. The right ones dope.
Better resolution pics here btw: http://www.eminem.com/recovery/default.html
Nu
I actually liked the original one with him on the bed the most, but with that said, I prefer the left one. But I am copping both, also downloading officially on itunes, and the actually Record through Bestbuy.com like they did with Relapse. I will never open the the record. Not like I have a player to spin it on anyways.
Best rapper dead or alive. Ever! Gotta support my dude to the fulliest.
T
amazing! I choose the left!
B
Really like the left cover which is the one I’ll buy June 22nd!
both are dope… the concept behind each is dope! i like the cube he in reading a magazine and the television is infront of him and the one of him working up the road is good…. like he just walking away from the past… i’d say the left
it seem more likely the left will end up on the back
unless he end up doing some sweat/suit type shit
that parental advisory sticker is a muhfucka huh
I like both of them 😀
It’s hard to choose, but i’m gonna go with the one on the left.
However the one on the left, looks like it would be for a back cover.
Support Eminem and buy his new Album Recovery!
Nice but i prefer the one on the left
i say put both out… limited edition cds with opposite covers
I like Em’s marketing on one hand but on the other Its so frustrating. It’s like doing a scavenger hunt with no list.
Haha The one on the left mean’s he has his own lane..he’s in a diff. level all by himself and no one can Fuck wit em..
CP says:
Get it, he’s Recovering in a glass box reading books..”quaranteened”
^^^^^ 1st, it’s “quarantINED”. 2nd, it’s kinda corny.
the one on the left, please. thank you. he’s been saying that on this he’s taking it back. cats were saying it looks like it should be for 8 mile.
do the math…
right
@Hip Hop Is Dead
U defntly tryna kill hip hop, if u want soulja boy on anythin man, especially an eminem album.. get outta here man..
[…] Eminem Recovery Album Covers Pick and choose June 22nd. eminem […]
His problems and the problems of his city!!!! Dope.
[…] did two covers for his upcoming album, Recovery, which drops June 22nd. Spotted at RR (via […]
I Like The Cover on the left the best because it really exaplain’s he’s leaving the Fucked up life behind
yeah why the hell cant they use the one of him on the bed, its sick and goes good with his album name!!!!!!! If anything use the one on the left and loose the cross its wack
The right cover is the back the tracklist has just not been added to it. To see the back with tracklist check out Eminem’s twitter he posted the image about a week ago
He also posted on twitter the album will be available on the 21st now
i like the one on the right more because it isn’t so plain, but the one on the left has more meaning
