Revisiting encore

[Jimmy Conway]

It sucks. I never listen to the album. I like a couple songs from it, but really, they just make me think of the album, which makes me think of the other songs on it. It's just a mess. He's got plenty of good songs out there. Encore will never be good, no matter how many times you listen to it, no matter how much time passes or how many times you rearrange the track list. It's trash.

There are hundreds of good Eminem songs out there, listen to those.

But I just don't agree. See, it depends what you're in the mood for.

I guess sometimes people are just in the mood to listen to horrible music.

Do you truly believe every song on Encore is horrible? Even the bonus tracks? Encore is far from Vintage Slim Shady, but Encore minus the 3 rushed tracks is solid.

1. "Curtains Up" I hate skits
2. "Evil Deeds" It's alright
3. "Never Enough" Really like Em's verse, 50 ruins the song
4. "Yellow Brick Road" Sucks
5. "Like Toy Soldiers" Sucks
6. "Mosh" Sucks
7. "Puke" Sucks
8. "My 1st Single" Sucks
9. "Paul" (skit) I hate skits
10. "Rain Man" I kind of like this song....even though it sucks
11. "Big Weenie" Sucks
12. "Em Calls Paul" (skit) I hate skits
13. "Just Lose It" Sucks
14. "Ass Like That" Sucks
15. "Spend Some Time" I like Em's verse. Horrible chorus and features ruin it
16. "Mockingbird" Sucks BUT THE EMOTION, OH HAILIE.....still sucks
17. "Crazy in Love" Sucks
18. "One Shot 2 Shot" Sucks
19. "Final Thought" I hate skits
20. "Encore/Curtains Down" Sucks

1 "We As Americans" Great song
2. "Love You More" Good
3. "Ricky Ticky Toc" It's alright



So I revisited it. And it's still horrible.

I think the chorus. And the beat is OK. That's about it.


And I shouldn't of said I like Rain man, I don't, I just like the part about superman.


Just like I like the part in Big weenie when he says

"That's just what you wanted to hear from me is thatAnnotate I FUCKED up, ain't it?
But I can bust one take without looking at no paper"

Or First single

"er jer jerkin the chain
22 jerks and a jerk circle
Or is it a circle jerk or wait a minute
What am I saying, allow me to run it back and rewind it
rrrbb lemme ask you again
Am I just jerkin the chain
Am I bizerk or insane"


Encore songs have a line here or there that make you think, oh yeah, that guy was good at one point.


But the album sucks.

Encore has always been the worst album Eminem has ever put out for me, and I know a good majority of Em fans agree. It sounds lazy as fuck, lazy production, most lyrics are awful especially compared to the previous 3 he put out prior to Encore. I mean really, he sounds (and of course was) drugged out of his mind in this album.

There are some good songs imo, and by some I mean 3. Yellow Brick Road, Crazy in Love, and Evil Deeds.
Ass Like That is mediocre. The only song that seems to be mentioned and liked alot by the Em community is Like Toy Soldiers (which I personally hate).

It's a very memorable album on how shitty it is. The more years progressed the more shittier it becomes and I hope none of his future albums will sound anything remotely close to it.

this album has to be up there with his last 2 albums.

Alright I know Recovery is pretty bad but it's not Encore level bad.

And come on, comparing Relapse to Encore? Are you trolling?

You say he was lazy as fuck but mention the Yellow brick road song where he sounds like he's gonna fall asleep anytime soon .. ass like that is not mediocre, it's SHIT .. Crazy in love has a nice flow and is a standout from the rest of the garbage, but it's still not great.. same goes for Evil Seeds ..

On the album there is only one really good verse, I might even say it's a five-star verse on a shitty song and that's the one on Spend some time .. Never enough sounds like a beat you would use for a quick freestyle but not on an album. I enjoy Puke and Rainman, that doesn't mean that they don't suck. Mockingbird is the emotional track and we can't blame him if it's not lyrically good since it wasn't meant to be that good in the first place but rather make a point .. LTS is good, but it could have been so much more .. that being said .. We as Americans and love you more shit on everything on Encore.

I will never understand the hate on YBR. At the same time people like Rain Man, calling YBR boring. Thats ridiculous. At least, he had a decent theme on YBR and executed it pretty well. Fuck is wrong with you, people? Id rather listen to boring YBR than to some fucking random gibberish.

Are you talking out of your ass and making shit up or did someone say they like Rain Man over YBR?

Even if someone does like Rain Man more, why do you care its a fuckin OPINION.

I dont care if someone likes Rain Man. But Jimmy Conway basically said that Rain Man> YBR. I find it weird. For me, its like to say that Big Weenie is better than Deja Vu.

[Whitefox]

Ya but YBR, Rain Man and Big Weenie are not even close to Deja Vu but i get what your saying.

Deja Vu is like a top 5 song since his come back.

Of course they are not close to Deja Vu. I just gave an example. YBR is probably the best song on Encore. Why people think its bad? Why do they never mention it and at the same time praise such songs like Never Enough, Evil Deeds, Rain Man or Puke? I just dont get it. Someone explain it already.

[Whitefox]

I dont really see anyone praising Never Enough, Evil Deeds, Rain Man or Puke.

When it comes to such threads. Almost everybody are pointing out those songs. Thats what I meant.

[Kill You]

Rain Man is NOWHERE NEAR Yellow Brick Road lmao.

[King Lance]

it's in my top 5 for the "worst albums ever"
