    evil deeds-puke is a decent run with a lot of gems, cut out everything after that until spend some time, keep that and the rest after and add the bonus tracks into the middle and then it's a pretty fantastic album

    O2S is trash I just don't like it and the lyrics on RTT are pretty good but the beat is annoying

    Half amazing, half utter trash.

    Unfortunately, the utter trash has more weight behind it then the good songs so it will always be his worst album.

    Thanks best songs on the album are the bonus songs.

    Disorderly Progress What's cookin?

    Nope. Was his worst to date to me then and still is today.

    That cover in the OP is dope. Such a dope concept.

    It would have been so dope to be a short album too. MMLP and TES were very long but it's hard to keep putting out very long yet amazing work which maintains for like 65-75 minutes.

    Plus 'an encore' is usually just a little bit extra. Like, the best till last but a little bit extra. Not that the best of Encore would have been his best anyway, but the most solid 10 songs from that era, nice and simple, would have been a very classy close to that chapter.

    Would have probably been a solid 8 experience.

    Although when I got this album as I kid, I still enjoyed it and spun it a lot. It wasn't like I was instantly like 'THIS IS WACK!', it was just quite clearly his lowest quality and least creative, with his worst songs.

    Evil Deeds, Yellow Brick Road, Like Toy Soldiers, Mosh, RainMan, Mockingbird, Crazy On You, Encore - great tracks. The rest are my guilty pleasure, good to listen just for fun. It is terriblely unfortunate that he was high enough to resign from We As Americans, Ricky Ticky Toc, and Love You More.

    I enjoy it from time to time, I’m not too bothered by the middle part, I always just give it a skip, but it definitely has gems on it, I rate it light 6/10.

    I'd easily rated it a classic if it wasn't for few song like My 1st Single, Big Weenie back then. Put Love You More, We As Americans and songs leaked with Straight From The Lab in there and I think many would have said it's classic. Still highs on the album is higher than anything he released after and lows are like the lowest ever. Similar to Koolo's opinion, 3/4 classic 1/4 trash

    Are we counting bonus tracks? Because We As Americans is a top ten Em song.
