Thats alright because I like the way you burn......

I have decied that I really like the track Love the Way You Lie off of the Recovery album by Eminem.  It seems that Mr Mathers has gone back to the things that worked after the off album that was Encoure and being involved with D12.

It is very much in the flavour of Stan, and not just because it is a duet with a female vocalist (though that does help).  For me the contrast between the spoken and sung word is tremendous and really work to great effect, stopping you from being overwhelmed by the spoken elements.  While I am not usually a fan of Rhianna her slightly haunting tone in this track is an excellent counterpoint to Mathers bitten off lyrics.

The thing that always surprises me about Eminem and the tracks that he puts out, is that the voice just does not match the man.  If you look at him (a slim 5ft 8" bloke) you would not expect the deep toned, loud and angry voice to come from someone, who is relatively innocuous looking.  Were you to pass him on the street Ido not think that you would match the face to the vocals.

While there have often been some odd videos to accompany his work this one really takes the biscuit.  The standing in a corn field is a bit on the odd side and I dod not expect to see a hobbit and Megan Fox acting out parts in it either.  All that being said it is still a cool video with some very impressive effects that make it surprisingly moving,
