    Ftr soldier, I asked @Sav Stanfield 'really' because I know he doesn't hate Eminem and has been pretty positive about eminem post TES (compared to others). Wasn't sure if he was serious or not.

    I've given my opinion on encore many times before thats not gonna change because another poster disagrees

    This album a solid 7/10.
    The only truly terrible album by Em for me is Revival and even that is 4.5-5/10.

    Encore would've been an easy 8.5 or more if it wasn't for that entire stretch from Puke to a--- Like That.
    Alot of beats are incredible. Has his best love song ever: Love You More.

    Nostalgia is a h--- of a drug. Although some songs are great, there were alot of awful songs as well.

    I don't know how you guys are so blind to see the beauty behind Revival. Ok, u got enough of the love songs. Yes, it had fillers but even those songs were full of wordplays and good lines. Production was definitely not as bad as people made it outta be. If the album was like 13 tracks as Kamikaze was, people would still s--- on it because they also hate songs like Like Home and Untouchable but someday they will realize how dope some of the songs really were. h---, people call Nowhere Fast trash ?!

    As for Encore, yeah other than some very bad produced songs like My 1st Single and really stupid songs like Big Weenie, I'd say Encore was pretty good. Unlike many, I really like Evil Deeds and don't really mind songs like Rain Man and One Shot 2 shot. Songs like Mockingbird, Crazy In Love are classics to me. I still think the whole album would have been classic if he replaced some songs with the leaked ones.

    Besides those, the album is a classic to me. Plus, I can definitely put a--- Like That on the album because the beat alone makes the track good to me lol. Just Lose It was a first single, wouldn't take it off neither.

    This is not a perfect album, I already wrote that his first three albums were somehow better. But this album meets all standards, what should be the album Eminem. So I think this album is a classic.

    I like all singles from Encore. I remember all the promo that was then, and the situation with resentment from Michael Jackson and the war in Iraq and the music video, where Proof dies, and footage from the personal archive and the end of the beef. It was a very interesting time in Eminem’s career, which cannot be said about his career period after 2013.

    I think this album is very undervalued, as well as Revival. If there were a couple of tracks that you didn’t like, it still doesn’t make the whole album bad. There are many other rappers on this planet who have most of the tracks on their albums as bad.

    I still do not understand your hatred for such tracks as Just Lose It and a--- Like That. I was then 13-14 years old and it seemed to me that these were very funny and funny tracks with humor. Why don't you understand humor? Were you at that time 50 years old and you were very old people? But this is Slim Shady, he can not be funny??

    On this album there were 2-3 tracks that could be removed. But on the album MMLP2 more than half of the tracks were unlistenable garbage. Therefore, MMLP2 will never be a classic, and Encore is too underestimated.

    MMLP2 could be a classic if you left only a maximum of 10 tracks out of 22. There is a very bad album, just rubbish. He is much worse than Encore.

    On Encore, you can delete 3 tracks and replace them with tracks from the deluxe version and here you have a 100% classic album. Therefore, Encore is not as bad as people say.

    ok so you're allowed an opinion sure, but don't literally be a complete c---- about it.

    You know you're talking bs here. Stop the blind hate.

    Give me the list of 50 albums that are better.
