    Encore (Redux)
    1. Curtains Up (skit)
    2. Evil Deeds
    3. Yellow Brick Road
    4. Mosh
    5. Americans
    6. Paul (skit)
    7. Enemy
    8. No Apologies
    9. I'm Gone (featuring Obie Trice)
    10. Just Lose It
    11. Phone Call (skit)
    12. Love You More
    13. Spend Some Time (featuring 50 Cent, Obie Trice & Stat Quo)
    14. Mockingbird
    15. Final Thought (skit)
    16. One Shot (featuring D12)
    17. Carry On
    18. Never Enough (featuring 50 Cent & Nate Dogg)
    19. Encore (featuring 50 Cent & Dr. Dre)
    20. Curtains Close (skit)
    Removed some of the repetition in Evil Deeds throughout the track (timing is f----- up, hope to fix in a later patch)
    Yellow Brick Road has most of the intro (with the bodily noises) and the second verse removed. The song is long and although the second is the best verse it's unrelated to the story)
    We As Americans is renamed Americans, just sounds better
    Added Public Enemy #1 which was written and recorded in the Encore sessions and fits in the sequencing (hope to remove Statlanta piece at the end in a later patch)
    Added No Apologies, which was originally an Eminem Show track, removed the final verse as it was written in 2006.
    Added I'm Gone w/ Obie Trice, a song structurally similar to Never Enough, released in 2004 on a DJ Kay Slay mixtape, removed references to Kay Slay at beginning.
    Removed bodily noises and over the top Jackson references from Em Calls Pall, renamed it Phone Call (plan to make his voice as normal as possible in a later patch)
    Removed "My penis was deep down in your whole" and "Fed you the best of me, shoulda fed you piss" from Spend Some Time
    Renamed One Shot 2 Shot to One Shot
    Renamed When I'm Gone to Carry On to avoid confusion with I'm Gone
    Seperated Encore and Curtains Up, removed robovoice Eminem from Curtains Up
    Removed Like Toy Soldiers, Puke, My 1st Single, Rain Man, Big Weenie, a--- Like That and Crazy in Love (might replace Just Lose it with a hybrid of the best parts of My 1st Single/Rain Man/Just Lose it in the future. Crazy in Love might appear in a future patch also)
    Encore (Redux) is a reimagining of Eminem's Encore using only songs available to Eminem at the time, showing what a proper Eminem Show follow up would be like. A lot of the features, skits, and sequencing relates to that of The Eminem Show. Encore (Redux) is the flipside of The Eminem Show much like SSLP and MMLP were. Thematically, Encore (Redux) follows Eminem's stardom, relationship to his daughter, love life, and legal issues, much like The Eminem Show.

    So how does Like toy soldiers not fit? Especially since it is a follow up to the eminem show it makes perfect sense to keep that track considering all the beefs he was in during that era.

    It's a good song, it just doesn't sonically fit this. I wanted to try and match this to the Eminem show in some respects but also have it stand as a body of work in and of itself.
    If I wanted to include songs just because they were good, I'd have made a playlist.

    I'm Gone is a better song for ending the beef, plus it doesn't fit sonically or sequentially in the album.
    I took a lot of time making sure the order of the songs was right, flowed together and sounded great, Like Toy Soldiers doesn't fit in anywhere
