    And by that, I mean is it an album that you've come to like over the years?
    For me it's better than that hot trash called MMLP2 and Shady Xv and all the s--- he released in 2015.

    But whatever y'all think, you gotta admit: The beats were f---ing great on Encore.

    Love You More, We As Americans, Never Enough, Spend Some Time, Yellow Brick Road, Mockingbird, ToySoldiers, Encore, Ricky Ticky Toc easily beat anything that's on MMLP2, XV, SOUTHPAW

    No. Recovery and Relapse I feel have aged well and I constantly think back to that line but Encore certainly hasn't had much improvement opinion-wise imo.

    Encore is still terrible in my opinion. It does have a few good tracks but overall, it is not a good album.

    I like Encore. Not his best work, but better than competitions like shady xv, soundtracks like southpaw or an EP like HTS

    Encore is cool to look back on. About half of it is great, as a whole though it's still subpar. However I do agree relapse and recovery have aged very well in comparison

    You'd have to be an idiot to like this album (see @csw621 above)
