    I don’t particularly “hate” any Eminem album, I derive some sort of enjoyment from all of his projects, but I can objectively say Revival was his career low. The highs on Encore were astronomically higher and I guarantee you there are millions of more people who look back on Encore fondly than there are for Revival.

    You are entitled to your opinion but there is no need to get emotional over it (unless your getting paid royalties on Encore) Just Lose It was one of the most terrible lazy Eminem songs I've ever heard, it's not fun at all, it's terrible.

    Standout lyrics from just lose it -

    "Chubba-chubba-chubba-chubba-chubba-chubba-chubby"

    Idk man... revival is pretty bad.

    But for Encore I would say it's his second worst. Even though there’s some classic songs, overall as a complete album it’s not good as Bojack suggested.

    edit - grammar

    Relapse,MMLP 2,MTBMB,Kamikaze,Revival are all worse.

    Encore has some real lows but its highs way better than many of his other albums

    I dunno all of his albums post tes have flaws and good things. Depends on what u are least annoyed w I guess; Encore's lazy music, Relapse s-----y content/accent, recovery's screaming and dumb punchlines or mmlp2's weird flow (some tracks). Kami and mtbmb are better than all to me though

    obviously not a good album, lyrics were garbage or lazy (even on the best songs) but his flow/delivery were still very good.
    overrall, the album is better than anything from recovery to mtbmb tbh

    I'd rather have bored, lazy, drugged Eminem over poppish, trying-too-hard and flowing-like-s----or-screaming Eminem.
    even "a--- like that" is more of an actual song than most of his recent attempts where the hook, the verses and the beat sound like they come from three different planets

    really tired of that Encore bashing...
    It's completely absurd to me how somebody could put Recovery-esque radio pop garbage above classic Dre hip hop production, Nate Dogg hooks, 50 cent features and TES sound...

    Revival is worse. Theres at least 8-9 really good/enjoyable songs on Encore. I only like maybe 3 songs on a good day for Revival.

    I like the content though and you as a horror fan should like some of it too. I feel like making concept albums like Relapse was the only way for him to not recycle content like he is doing nowadays (I can't count how many songs we got about his OD). And tbh nowadays I love that accent (even though I didn't like it when it came out as I was expecting TES 2.0 since it was his great comeback and I feel like a lot of people felt the same way) it's nostalgic and it's waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than his voice after Relapse era. I hate Bagpipes from Baghdad with a passion though. Especially these lines about conjoined twins yikes lol.

    Even though I disagree with Zeugma, at least he is actually giving his opinion without getting emotional. You need help bro, your emotions over Eminem are beyond the depths of Stanley's basement.

    Yeah I like horror movies, not songs. And it's not the actual horror content that bothers me the most, altough I'm not interested in a song about raping a woman in a mercedes lol.

    But licking cheese from his nuts, sucking amy whinehouse teeth, smelling placenta, creeping on hanna montana.. its stuff like that I don't wanna hear. Thats not horror just gross lol.

    You say u like the concept, non personal songs. That's funny I like the personal songs on here the most, by far actually; deja vu, my mom (my darling, careful what u wish for).

    To be fair I do think Hello, Same Song and Dance are f---ing great regardless of the content. They really sound amazing. His rapping and storytelling on this album is great. Just not a fan of most of the content and the accent sucks on several songs.

    Bagpipes, medicine ball, 3am and we made you realllllly s--- though. Such a waste of great dre beats.

    Overall I think it's okay but I can totally see people's issues w it as well as its praise.

    Ι agree with that tbh.
    I the type of guy that I like to listen to albums as whole without skips, I do that for every artist, not just em and I almost never find myself skipping a track.
    With that said, Encore is definitely the worst experience in Em's catalog for me.
    Yes there are great moments in it but there are also so many moments that I cant wait to end just to find another track I will enjoy like when you get from puke to spend some time.

    Overall as an album its his worst no doubt at all.
