    Even if the terrible songs had amazing beats though. If the content on the trash songs were different then encore would be a easy classic

    It’s a good album arguably better than relapse

    if you can just appreciate production and flows the song everybody hated aren’t even that bad. I really don’t see why the lows are crucified the way they are. AND if you include the leaks you could make a perfectly solid album out of encore

    I haven't listened to it in a while but when I play the CD or vinyl I love turning up Evil Deeds and Rain Man and Big Weenie and Puke too, they sound great but when the album first came out, I wouldn't say the leak but I did get the CD on release day and I always felt like it was a dark album. I think the production is quite dark and grungy and I felt like The Eminem Show was much more clean and smooth and polished. Even if it wasn't called Encore I would never have thought this was a continuation of The Eminem Show or that the albums were recorded back to back. I'll listen to it again and see if those opinions still hold up. It was just a feeling I got from the album and then earlier in 2004 they released the DVD with D12 World and there's footage of them in the studio and the studio is very darkly lit and moody and that was cool because you just imagine the studio being brightly lit and there's musicians there and when you look at them in the studio, it looks and feels like the D12 World and Encore album. It's all dark sounds and dark drums and deep bass sounds and all the sounds just kind of pound along.. Maybe it's more to do with the production at that time and that's just how the beats were then.

    I'd take walk on water and believe over anything on the standard version of encore. Beats and production are much better on encore and but even on those enjoyable songs his deep drugged up boring voice is something I can't get over.

    Relapse is a nice concept album but looking at the content what’s actually being said ? We have party songs and murder songs lol. The only emotionally driven track is beautiful. And my mom and insane. Encore has a better mix of songs that are actually about something and is the last Eminem album that sounded like one. Relapse is cool but super overrated on this forum

    But we can always just make a playlist on Spotify, Youtube, or whatever. Cut out the tracks we don't like and end up with a very good 6-8 track EP.
    But with some of his recent projects, we can't really do it because there's no good half. The tracks are just all-around mediocre
