The meaning behind his music.
He just seems to be pulling stuff out of his ass now. Hardly worth listening to.

I don't know about Relapse (haven't listened to it cause what I heard of it sucks) But Recovery seems to have a lot of purpose in it. More so than any of his albums except maybe his first 3.
Also, if he was still rapping about the same stuff as he was in SSLP/MMLP then it would be very old and repetitive by now. I think his new album does a great job at bringing his soul back into his music, but having a fresh perspective and moving forward at the same time.
