May 18, 2023Rap/lyrical genious and the tracks are fiery fury good. My goodness, the is greatness.
-
Jan 4, 2023Worst than Eminem show but u guys are underrating this album , why? just listen to this album again
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
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.

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.
-
Jan 29, 2020Great album with a better content than eminemshow and it was like a different type of album than the other 3
-
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 22, 2020This album shout every one facking mouth its was pure fire thanks agian em ❤️

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 19, 2020This has everything to be a masterpiece beat and flows but Eminem was boring and making farts in the mic.
-
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.
-
Mar 14, 2019Encore by Eminem is not one of his best works, but it's still a good album though. There are a few songs that I do like on the album and some songs that are ok at best. Some of the beats were dope, and some are ok. It's still a good album overall.

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
-
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.
-
Feb 4, 2018this album maybe was my second lowest ranking in eminem's discography before revival, this doesn't mean that is bad, i still highly enjoy this album, to me is the best 2004 album, however this had the only 2 eminem songs i never liked, those are my 1st single and big weenie, the rest is great
-
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 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.
-
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.

Apr 12, 2013A not as good but very strong album by Eminem, many of the songs are memorable and go down in history but all in common are complaints about his life. Still memorable beats complaining.
-
Mar 5, 2013It is not as good as "The Eminem Show" but still damn good.
-
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!
-
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
-

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.

wiggettyw.Aug 29, 2007Keeps getting better and better. Second only to The Eminem Show.

mikeh.May 15, 2007Anybody who says slim shady is a bad rapper is a complete loser and dont no what their talkin about because eminem is one of the greatest rappers ever and his new cd is the same. It has great beats and still good lyrics. So it is a great album

t!m3$pL!t3rAug 14, 2005Encore might not be his best album but its still quite good all of the songs r quite good with the exeption of Like Toy Soldiers and ENCORE/CURTAINS Down which r awsome I cant think of any reason to find this album annoying and its definitely worth the money

JesseBApr 28, 2005People say that music is suppose to be calming. To me its just spilling out all of your emotions. It doesnt matter if your good or bad. just be yourself
-
-
VincerApr 22, 2005I know this album is not em's best work it's still better than 99% of albums out there, every song is good or great - no bad songs. Eminem proves that even with a sub - par album for his expectations, it is still an awesome cd.
-
-
JoeyHApr 9, 2005Best. Eminem. Album. Ever. Period.
-
-
rubenfMar 21, 2005not his best album to date. but its close, eminem has improved on his skills. true he doesnt have the same hunger for hip hop as when he first came into the game. but still very impressive.

MelissaHFeb 21, 2005I like this album altogether but it is not his best work. Some of the songs seem to sound the same as the songs he uses in The Eminem Show. I love Emimen still though he is a genius, he just didnt show it as much in this album as others.

ChiliT.Feb 9, 2005A! this Is Chili Em's #1 Fan, I dont appreciate all the Haters talkin shit, people need to realize that he has picked up where Hip-Hop left off with Pac and Big, and has fulfilled the prophecy as a walking LEGEND

MariahLJan 31, 2005I love Eminem and D12's music but I wish you had an Edited version of all your music
-

VeronciaFJan 30, 2005althugh some may say Em is out of ideas and has nothing to rap about, this CD prooves america's shallow oppinion wrong with it's brilliant lyrics and dancable tunes.
-
-
lameshamJan 28, 2005Em don't listen 2 the ones that gave it a low rating ! Haters! On my soul this cd is by far the best cd I have ever listened 2 n all the days of my life. I literally listed 2 it everyday. I hope 2 hear another cd at least as great as this one. much Love mesha~~~!

LauraHJan 26, 2005He is clearly one of the best rappers ever and is so talented. I loved his album. He is so clever and every word written has thought and meaning behind it. Unconventional and that's why I gotta love him!

OliverKJan 19, 2005This new CD of his is just a new beginning. He makes 30 million dollars every cd he sells. He makes sick ass beats and sick ass lyrics thats all that matters.
-

JasonDJan 16, 2005He is my idol and speaks his mind in every song.

-
BryantJJan 13, 2005This by far is Eminem's worst CD, but i still love it. I'm not such a big fan of his trying to be funny in his songs. I miss more of his angry songs. I believe there's no other better song then "The Way I Am". Even so, the CD has some catchy beats to it. I like every song on the CD except for crazy in love and ass like that.

DavidAJan 8, 2005I've always been an Eminem fan, this is one of his best albums and its just what I expected from him, however it was not as good as "The Eminem Show."

lexysugaDec 29, 2004This Cd is amazing, EVery single song. "Spend Some Time" keeps replaying even in my dreams, I love eminem so much. He did it again, this is absolutly wonderful
-
-
LEXYE.Dec 29, 2004Everytime I turn this cd on I get shivers...it's that good. EVen in my dreams i can still here "Spend Some Time", and his songs have touched me so deeply that I've cried twice. He is amazing, I have all of his work. And this definately shows he didn't stop trying. In fact, he only got better. I love you eminem
-
-
jessicasDec 26, 2004i love em. and i think what he is saying needs to be listen to a lot louder
-
-
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
-
-
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.

MercedesCDec 21, 2004This was an awsome CD, not as brutal as his past ones, and seems to have more emotion in it then and other. But I must say that when I first listend to 'Just loose it' I was disapointed.. But after hearing the other songs, it was like i was listening to him again. This isn't his best CD, but it definetly shows up other CD's that are considered 'hot' today..
-
-
LeighMDec 17, 2004An Excellent CD. If you like Eminem, you will love this CD!
-
-
BenNDec 16, 2004This Cd has its pros and cons. Some of the songs on the CD are Eminems best and the beats by Dre. are good but thats only for three or four songs. The other 16-17 songs are awful, half trialed by Eminem.

AaronADec 13, 2004at first the songs on encore sounded samey and without any flare but give this album a second listen and everything just clicks, all these songs are ace especially puke, my first single and my fave 'crazy in love' dont listen to the dissers on here just buy this album and make up your own mind
-
-
KimADec 12, 2004I will admit that at first, I wasn't sure about this album but after listening to the lyrics I found that there was more meaning in his words besides the every-other- swear-word pattern approach he usually takes. This album is something that I can relate to and I felt he did excellent work getting his message accross. I love it.
-
-
LPayneDec 8, 2004This album is full of the best of eminem and then some teeny-bopper nothing songs. I give it a 7.
-
-
AnthonyDec 5, 2004Excellent ! Just because it is different does not mean it sucks, plus it shows he is well rounded. It is still better then most rap albums. If em wanted to make a classic he would have done so.
-
-
markaDec 4, 2004It's not as bad as other people think but I was disappointed in it. It does have some good tracks but there's nothing that really stands out on this record. I like the Eminem Show and The Marshall Maters LP a lot better.
-
-
stevengDec 2, 2004its awsome
-
-
arnesrDec 1, 2004this cd is a little it more sentimental then the other ones. Songs like, like toy slodiers, mockingbird, spend some time. we like seen that part of eminem. he is also a genus because of the ryhms.

"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.
