    It's a classic in my heart, and my personal favourite

    This is the true "Eminem" sound to me

    So no definitive edition?

    Missed opportunity. If there's one album that would have benefited from special treatment it's Encore. Em's team are idiots.

    Evil Deeds is such an amazing intro.

    Yes, I think I've pointed this out before. Five joke songs in a row, six if you count Puke. I'd go even further and say Mosh is a joke too, since it's a laughable parody of White America and one of his all time worst attempts at a serious song. Further yet, Yellow Brick Road is a drag to listen to and Evil Deeds is a terrible opener with some of his worst writing ever. Even Mockingbird is spoiled somewhat by subpar writing and monotonous delivery. The D12 song and Crazy in Love are very forgettable. That leaves a small handful of good/great tracks. Thankfully I don't give a s--- about Eminem's legacy. Almost gotta feel sorry for the suckers who do and b---- about it year after year as if it affects their lives.

    Encore is a very strange album. It starts off incredibly strong, and it continues to be pretty good until like the 6th or 7th song. That middle section is legitimately awful. A lot of people defend them as just "silly em songs" but when you get My 1st Single, Rain Man, Big Weenie, Just Lose It and a--- Like That back to back, that silly energy becomes incredibly annoying. Even though it picks up steam again by the end, that middle section absolutely kills the album's mood. It fails as both a follow up to TES and it's incredibly bad for a "retirement" album. Comparing this to Jay's Black Album which dropped the year before, it just comes off as a big joke that isn't really funny for anyone except em fans who think he can do no wrong. People excuse a lot of the album's shortcomings by saying "oh some songs leaked" or "he was on drugs!" but the album just isn't very good. The strong beginning and ending does make me rank it above Revival at least, but I struggle to see how someone can honestly call this album anything more than mediocre.
