Jul 25, 2023Encore is a massive dissapointment of a follow up to The Eminem Show, & the beginning of Eminem's fall from grace.
Best track: Like Toy Soldiers
Worst track: My 1st Single
Best feature: 50 Cent (I guess) -
Jul 19, 2023Review só pra lembrar a nota que eu dei pro album:
album bem ruim, agora só escrever pra passar dos 75 caracteres. -
May 18, 2023Rap/lyrical genious and the tracks are fiery fury good. My goodness, the is greatness.
-
Apr 6, 2023Half of the songs are decent at worst and fire at best, while the rest are just plain terrible. I know Eminem's drug addiction and the release of Straight from the Lab really destroyed this album, but even then, what was he thinking?
-
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
-
Oct 2, 2022what a **** show of an album with very small entertainment scattered throughout the album that you have to skip here and there to get to especially the middle of the album being a disgusting mess of trash
-
Aug 21, 2022How is this album ranked so high? It is easily his worst album and is top 20 worst album of all time. Every single Drake album and mixtape is better then this steam pile. The reason this isn't a 0/10 is because of Toy Soldiers, every other song on this album is not good.

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.
-
Oct 2, 2021Underwhelming and bland album that took too long to make. I understand Eminem had issues with addiction during album recording, but surely it doesn't take that long to make a sub-par album like this. Some highlights include the features with 50 Cent and Dr. Dre which have good lyrics. The Eminem Show was a lot better than Encore.
-
Aug 7, 2021This album is bad. It is the worst Eminem album. It has some great tracks but in the middle of the album it gets unlistenable.
Best songs: Mockingbird, Like Toy Soldiers
Worst songs: My 1st Single, Big Weenie -

Oct 3, 2020Cet album m'a laissé indifférent. Y'a certaines p'tites pépites (Mockingbird, Like Toy Soldiers), mais globalement c'est bof, voir mauvais (My 1st Single). Écoutable, mais dispensable. 6/10
-
Sep 11, 2020Has it's flaws but also got remarkable songs like Mosh,Like Toy Soldiers,Yellow Brick Road,Spend Some Time and Mockingbird.Not my favorite Eminem album but still a better choice than Revival.

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 27, 2020Despite having some of Eminem's best songs , the album is riddled with nonsensical lyrics, unbearable hooks and monotone beats and delivery. The first five songs of the album range from decent to amazing, but from puke (in my opinion the worst song on here), everything takes a nosedive. Overall, this feels like a worse version of The Eminem Show
-
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.
-
Jul 28, 2019A few good tracks, but for the most part this is the beginning of the end for Eminem in a painfully boring and bland album.
-
Jul 14, 2019This is a very un-even album. Some great tracks, quite a few that are some of Eminem's very worst such as 'My first single' and 'Rain man'. Two tracks that make me wonder what he was thinking when he was recording them.
-
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
-
Jul 6, 2018"Well, for the worst album awards the winner for 2004 is Eminem's Encore!"...
...you get the point. -
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.
-
Mar 3, 2018The album starts off strong with like toy soldiers and mosh, but takes a turn for the worst starting with puke and gets even worse as it progresses with my first single,rain man,big weenie and just lose it.All the bad overlooks what little good is on the album. Hideous
-
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 -
Jul 18, 2017it was okay.....................................................................................................................................................................
-
May 9, 2017Not really Em's best album. This album has some of his worst tracks of all time ( every track 7-12), but it also has some great tracks( Yellow Brick Road, Like Toy Soldiers, Mosh, Mockingbird, Encore). All in all, not a good sequel to The Eminem Show
-
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.
-
Feb 24, 2016i found myself skipping a lot of songs due to the poor production, and awful lyrical content on some songs. there are a few songs that pretty good. but some songs on here shouldnt be on the same album with others, not sure what eminem was thinking about this one. im a big fan of him but this one just doesnt have my interest.
-
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.
-
Feb 12, 2013This is not a bad album just mediocre, not up to eminem's standard. I'd say about half the tracks are good but about half of them are really poor like Rain Man, in my opinion his worse song. Though songs like never enough are what save this album.
-
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

Jun 23, 2011This is Eminem's worst album ever. It suffers from a steep drop off in lyrical quality after the song "Mosh." It's below average and some of the other songs are humorous (once) but Eminem doesn't really say much with the rest of the album. Pure filler. Skip this ****
-

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.

RussellD.Sep 24, 2007I think the only reason I can tolerate this album is because I'm a fan. It took me 2 years to buy the album after I heard "Just Lose it", and its a disappointment, but its got a few good songs on there. I also think its funny how you can tell an eminem fans age by what their favorite album is. The younger they are, the more likely "The Eminem Show" is their favorite. See if I'm right...

-
LiefS.Sep 20, 2007Anybody who gave this album above a 3 should stop listening to rap, ur just messing up what albums sales should really be like and are the reason real hip hop is dead, there is not 1 song on this album worth listening to, he should never make a form of music again.

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

MartinSJun 19, 2006Eminem was pretty good. 50 Cent, however, stunk up the joint. This album was pretty spotty, sans a few songs. Just my opinion, though, as it probably is in the minority.

KingMachineMar 2, 2006His worst album so far. Pretty good though.

jenaRAug 18, 2005Sadly the most dissapointing rap album of the past few years. Em has completely let himself go, both in creativity and in beats, and it shows.

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.

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.

"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.
