Encore appreciation thread, Happy Anniversary

[csw621]

I like this album a lot. It was the first eminem album I bought myself and the first one I nearly fully understood. Almost no one cared about a perceived drop in delivery quality or overuse of parody or sound effects until around 2007 when there was still nothing new. Several very strong songs help an otherwise struggling tracklist. If only anyone knew what he was struggling with before it was too late. Album is a solid 7 for what I feel are very obvious reasons.

Classic

LTS, Mockingbird, Evil Deeds, Never Enough, Mosh, Yellow Brick Road, Spend Some Time... all great songs.

Encore, 1S2S, Crazy in Love, Rain Man, Big Weenie, Ass Like That, Just Lose It, My 1st single, good songs.

Puke... trash.

Strong 7.5/10 album.

Encore, 1S2S, Crazy in Love, Rain Man, Big Weenie, Ass Like That, Just Lose It, My 1st single, good songs.

Encore is a solid enough album...but, oh hell no.

Why do you do this Ra ool, why

Never Enough and Evil Deeds sound a good attempt at TES sound, props to them

Yellow Brick Road has great story telling

Encore is one of the catchiest songs Eminem has ever made

It's a shame he never performed it live.

True. That song is meant for stadiums

plus he could probably legitimately sing the chorus, which would be great

[slims]

lol, the first em album I actually bought with my own money.

Am I the only one who like Puke (the song obviously ..) ?

My opinion about the songs:
Terrible songs (0-2/10): Ass Like that, My 1st single, Rain Man, Just Lose It and Big Weenie. They're all funny, but trash. So many great beats wasted.
Meh songs (3-5/10): One Shot 2 Shot, Mosh and Evil Deeds
Good songs (6-7.5/10): Mockingbird, Yellow Brick Road, Puke, Crazy in Love, Encore, We As Americans, Ricky Ticky Toc
Great songs (8-9/10): Like Toy Soldiers, Spend Some Time (fuck Stat Quo though), Never Enough
Best song (9.5-10/10) : Love You More

Almost half the album is terrible-meh. Some good songs are also forgettable, but fortunately it has some great tracks too. Worst Em album, but not as terrible as some people would say it is imo.
