    The album sucks. Putting aside the large chunk of undeniable trash, the good moments of Encore are still dwarfed by the caliber of the preceding 3 albums.

    Bearing that in mind, I still think Revival is worse. That album is just horribly cynical and detached from reality.

    Agreed. Revival is absolutely worse than Encore. At least the trash songs on Encore are Dre or vintage Em beats. I don’t know what the f--- was going on with Revival.

    Most casual listeners would agree encore is a classic Eminem album as opposed to Eminem's actual cringe stans who like trash like bad guy and beautiful pain. In general people actually like songs like a--- like that and just lose it. Plus it has the classic Eminem style everyone loves. And it has genuine top tier material on it, as opposed to post recovery albums.

    Danny brown said encore was his fav Eminem album and redman said his fav Eminem song is my 1st single

    Shake That #6 on Billboard Hot 100.
    Just Lose It #6 on Billboard Hot 100.
    Rap God #7 on Billboard Hot 100.
    When I'm Gone #8 on Billboard Hot 100.

    I don’t remember that in 2005-2006 fans hated Eminem’s tracks about clubs and girls and a---. There are just forum assholes that most people do not represent, they do not even represent the majority of fans.

    Most of Eminem fans really love track a--- Like That. I remember how this track was on everyone’s mobile phone in the summer of 2005. It was a real hit.

    There’s a massive difference between actually listening to these songs regularly and considering them classic, to just looking back on them 14 years later and appreciating them more because his content and style has changed so much.

    And although Encore would be in the lesser half of Em's albums if you are to rank them, it was still a great album. He just shouldn't have replaced the two leaked tracks with silly songs. Just Lose It and a--- Like That were at least funny and were mainstream successful. If he kept We as Americans and Love You More instead of My 1st Single and Big Weenie, you got a fine overall album. It wouldn't have been on his previous 3 albums caliber, but people would have dug it and it wouldn't have been as hated on.

    1.) Curtains Up (Intro Skit)
    2.) Evil Deeds
    3.) Never Enough (Ft. Nate Dogg and 50 Cent)
    4.) Yellow Brick Road
    5.) Like Toy Soldiers
    6.) Mosh
    7.) Puke
    8.) Love You More
    9.) Paul (Skit)
    10.) Rain Man
    11.) We as Americans
    12.) Em Calls Paul (Skit)
    13.) Just Lose It
    14.) a--- Like That
    15.) Spend Some Time (Ft. Obie Trice, Stat Quo and 50 Cent)
    16.) Mockingbird
    17.) Crazy in Love
    18.) One Shot 2 Shot (Ft. D-12)
    19.) Final Thought (Skit)
    20.) Encore (Ft. Dr. Dre and 50 Cent) (Curtains Close Outro Skit)

    Would have been a little poppy but overall people would have dug it more and it's a smooth, fun listen - and fit the music wave at that time quite well.

    We can't talk so badly about this album just because of two unsuccessful tracks. Remember how many unsuccessful tracks he released in recent years and how many bad tracks he put into albums that came out after 2005.

    Now the overall quality of music from Eminem is much lower than on Encore. So, Encore is still a classic album, regardless of whether someone likes it or not

    Encore's highs make it a classic I guess. You feel Em's soul in this album. Nowadays you can't even feel Em's soul. That's why I think he was replaced after the Re-Up.
