EminemfanDec 26, 2004this is a great album, i have all of his albums and i'm only 13 years old. I think that eNcore is the best yet. He speeks from the heart, i like all the songs, and anyone else who's slagging them off should try and do better! Eminem is great, his song mockingbird is my favourite, it proves that he doesn't just rap/sing about violence,people he doesn't like, and sex.

MarshalMathersDec 26, 2004This CD had alot more meaning than everybody thinks. Take a couple hours to just listen to the lyrics. You'll then figure out why i gave this CD a rating of 10

Oct 25, 2010Personally I find it refreshing that a superstar of his ilk was willing to make a record in which he didn't take himself too seriously. It's funny, clever and controversial like his previous work, but he's never sounded so catchy nor has he been so much fun to listen to than on Encore.

Mar 5, 2013It is not as good as "The Eminem Show" but still damn good.

Feb 26, 2012Eminem Can Definitively Improve. What Am I Saying? This Record Can Be One Of Eminem's Top Albums. I Enjoy About 8 Songs On This Album, but They Are Songs I Feel Like Listening From Time To Time.
-
Feb 4, 2012This is my favorite Eminem album. I love his crazy antics, and his serious songs like Toy Soldiers & Mockingbird. Even though this is not lyrically his best. I still think its the best because i grew up listening to Encore
-
Nov 5, 2012Neither a step forwards, nor a step back. A solid rap album containing fantastic wordplays and great lyrics. It's not perfect, because it has still got unnecessary dumb parts in it, but Em got older and you can hear that. His second best album after 'The Eminem Show'. - "Just Lose It" and "Mockingbird" are two of his all time top 10!

Apr 5, 2020I was at the height of been a eminem fan when this album dropped. The album might be playful at the middle but has some of eminem best songs in is career. Like toy soldiers, mocking bird, yellow brick road, spend some time, we as americans, encore just to name a few. This album had the best flow of his career, em sounded flawless.

Apr 23, 2015Striking his 4 in 4 in perfect albums, Eminem returns with his alternance between serious and funny songs and the cleverness of his verses on an album providing more than one instant classic such as Like toy soldiers and Mockingbird.
-
Mar 16, 2016Good album, but this album is not "2nd The Eminem Show". This is was funny (Just Lose It, Evil Deeds, etc.), emotinal (Mockingbird, Like Toy Soldires), seriously (Mosh). This is was 2004.
-
Jul 21, 2017One of Slim Shady's great albums so far.My favourite songs in this album are
1.Like Toy Soldiers
2.Mockingbird
3.Like That
4.Never Enough
5.My 1st Single -
Mar 4, 2018At least it was better than The Eminem Show. The song Puke actually made me want to throw up because he was throwing up in the song.
-
Jan 18, 2020Would have been another classic if it wasn't for those leaks. Imagine some of the songs such as Big Weenie replaced by bonus tracks. Still very enjoyable tho.
-
Aug 16, 2018This album gets a bad rap in my opinion, has some trash for sure but I think there are 12-14 good songs on here and 5-7 all time great ones

Jan 20, 2020Some great tunes on here. Some not so much. Fave tracks ; Encore, Never Enough, Mockingbird, Spend Some time. (Rain Man so bad it’s good)
-
Jan 23, 2020Insant classic. This is the best album of all time. Nothing can be better than this. This is the greatest piece of music.
-
Jan 19, 2020This has everything to be a masterpiece beat and flows but Eminem was boring and making farts in the mic.

Dec 6, 2021O segundo melhor álbum do Eminem, atrás apenas de The Eminem Show, álbum com o melhor instrumental do Eminem, ótimas músicas e flows, o álbum muito diferente dos outros anteriores e é incrível mesmo assim, lírica do Eminem sempre em destaque e claro a criatividade em cada música, tudo isso, faz desse um álbum, uma obra de arte invejável à qualquer artista.
-
Nov 9, 2022Encore its a a very good album, but the middle of it is very forgettable, like Puke and My 1st Single. But, with some legendary songs, like Like Toy Soldiers and Mockingbird, this album is not that bad
-
Nov 25, 2022Eminem's most overhated album. Let's see if your favorite rapper will be remembered this way in 10 years. Encore has almost 20 years and it's still one of the most streamed rap albums.
-
Dec 1, 2022Overhated album. Listening to this in 2022 e comparing it to the **** circulating right now makes you feel how bad we have fallen. No rapper outside there can be compared to Eminem. Period.
-
Jan 4, 2023Worst than Eminem show but u guys are underrating this album , why? just listen to this album again
-
May 18, 2023Rap/lyrical genious and the tracks are fiery fury good. My goodness, the is greatness.

"Encore" is almost willfully uneven: it includes some of the most exhilarating songs Eminem has ever recorded, alongside some of the most inert. [15 Nov 2004]
-
For the most part, Encore's strained, vaguely sad, regressive wackiness makes a lucid and compelling argument that Eminem should retire Slim Shady and let the real, serious Marshall Mathers stand up and be heard.
-
Encore is a fourth fascinating record from Eminem, but it's also easily his weakest and, in many ways, tamest album to date.
