This is the album made by Eminem called ‘Relapse’ which was released in June 21st 2010. I find that this album cover is very simple yet tells a lot within the photo and the font. The main image of this cover is a man walking down an empty road. People that have never seen Eminem wouldn’t know that this was him walking down the road but most fans realise it is him. I find that this photo is very powerful due to the reason that the album is called ‘Recovery’ and his previous album was called ‘Relapse’ his past two albums have been about how he has been getting over drugs and drink and this photo shows that his ‘Recovery’ is near the end of the road and whilst he was recovering he felt like he was all alone. The scenery of the photo is interesting as it’s not a built up area it seems very derelict and in the middle of know where to emphasis the state that he was in. The title itself is very interesting, as you can see that where the ‘o’ is in ‘Recovery there is a white cross which is very similar to that of the red cross which is a symbol of aid this is what the artist could be portraying in the use of this symbol that he needed aid and help. The E which is backwards in the title is there for a reason and that reason is that it is Eminem’s symbol that backwards ‘E’ has been his trademark symbol ever since he started his music career.
