Eminem, Recovery (2010)
Eminem on suicide, recovery, abuse, and how his last album kinda stunk.
Eminem, Relapse (2009)
The prequel to Recovery wasn't as powerful a comeback for Eminem as Recovery was, possibly thanks to its continued attachment to pointless violence.
Rihanna, Rated R (2009)
This was Rihanna's first album after the Chris Brown incident, and represented an experimentation with many musical styles.
Rihanna, Good Girl Gone Bad, Reloaded (2008)
Rihanna's album was a series of hit singles, and Reloaded includes some newer bonus tracks.
