so what do u all think...?

ok..I 4got to make a poll...whatever, juss put up a no. out of 10.

3 out of ten. see my posts. this album is pure crap.
for fucks sake i think bizarre can top this album

3 tracks are actually worth listening, there are 16 tracks on the album.

3/16*10=1.9

pretty poor score.

(ja rule - the wrap) "They say I rap to rhythm and blues
But when I turn on the radio, I hear y'all niggaz rappin' it too"

I think i believe him...

(ja rule - the wrap) "They say I rap to rhythm and blues

I think i believe him...

:D hehe nice one.

what the fuck...wheres the flow? wheres the good beats??? wheres the real fuckin rap??? every song sounds the same near enough...i hate 2 say it like...but this is a big fuckin let down iv waited ages on this...and what the fuck is 'em calls paul'...i mean that sorta stuff is funny 2 an extent...but it sounds fake...i really do severly hope this album aint gonna b released...and eminem has fooled us all. I fuckin think eminem is the gr8est rapper apart from 2pac...n i wud h8 2 think that this excuse for an album would be his way of signing off from rapping...it just wouldnt be right...and very unfair to all the legions of fans that have supported him...having said all this though...eminem's past speaks for itself...he will ALWAYS be 1 of tha best rappers...even if this encore is real....neway...peace out...and dont try n rip the piss out of this post coz every1 has their own opinion.

btw...3 out of 10

Alright I listened to the whole thing twice and some songs more than that so I think I'm ready to rate it.

Track by track

1. Curtain's Up (Encore Version)
No rating but I like the Eminem Show's version better

2. Evil Deeds
7/10 It's okay but the way he keeps repeating himself gets annoying. Beat's okay

3. Never Enough
9/10 This is one of the better songs. Both Em and 50 have nice verses. Nate Dogg seems kinda pointless here on the chorus. Beat is nice.

4. Yellow Brick Road
10/10 This may and the next song are the highlight of the album for me. Em finally goes into the rascist tapes and does a damn good job doing it. Nice beat & nice lyrics

5. Like Toy Soldiers
10/10 So far this is my favorite song. Em reflects and the Benzino and Ja beefs. Only slight complaint is he's sorta said the same things in some other songs.

6. Mosh
8/10 Still not the biggest fan of the beat but this is a good song lyrically and Em says some important shit.

7. Puke
7/10 I dunno I'm getting sick of "Kim" songs. I mean after the song Kim they've all seemed to go downhill.

8. My 1st Single
6.5/10 Now we have the first of the nonsense/gibberish songs where Em just says a bunch of weird shit about nothing. The part about Chris Reeves is kinda funny so I added half a point.

9. Paul Skit
No rating

10. Rain Man
6/10 Gibberish song #2.... Ugh I know this is suppose to be funny... But Em's done alot of these jokes and done them better before

11. Big Weenie
6/10 I think this is punishment for people downloading "Bully".... Cause it's seems to be a replacement for it (Sorry Em)....... It's a good thing Em already won his beefs with Benzino and Ja cause this would not cut it.

12. Em Calls Paul
No rating... Sorta funny

13. Just Lose It
7/10 Without the video this song doesn't work nearly as well. Beats pretty nice though anf also helps

14. Ass Like That
6/10 A whole song with Em rapping as Triumph the puppet dog?.... He does way too much of that "pee pee caca" shit. Again I know this is suppose to be funny but.... it ain't to me....

15. Spend Some Time
8/10 Overall pretty nice track good beat good verses from Obie, Em, and Stat Quo. 50's is only okay and his doesn't quite fit because the song seems to be about falling for chicks you shouldn't.

16. Mockingbird
8/10 Another "Hailey" song. Em raps to Hailey and his niece and it's nice and refective. Nice beat and lyrics

17. Crazy In Love
8/10 Another Kim song... the second verse is about rap or something. The beat it kinda different for Em but it's nice.

18. One Shot 2 Shot
9/10 A nice D12 track that's a story about a club shootout. Kinda sucks Proof ain't on this though

19. Final Thought (skit)
No rating ... Why is this a seperate track though?

20. Encore/Curtains Down
9/10 Em and Dre trade nice verses. 50's part is kinda pointless and way too short, still a nice way to end the ablum. The skit after is kinda messed-up, I'm not really sure what Em's trying to say by it...

Anyways I dunno there's a few nice tracks but overall kinda dissappointing. Maybe I'm just getting too old for some of the humor or maybe it's cause Em is a little too old to be doing some of this. It seems like Em's running outta ideas. Overall it's nice beats and even nice lyrics but alot of the songs are just not about anything and aren't very funny.

It could have been a lot better.

well i rated every track alone then i got about 7.2 out of 10
not bad but we hoped a better rate.

and...again i am out of the circle because i've never heard of half of those track....BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHITTY SHIT!!!!

AND NOW I'M MAD SO STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!!!

[wait, you're not even here right now anyway...yup, i'm crazy}

why...u didin't download the album yet??

nope...couldn't find it, and this one site wants you to download something else first, and...i don't wanna {starts immatating a baby}

then go to my thread"download the whole encore (permenant links)" or some shit like that i 4got the name of the thread, fuck it.....& then follow the steps & u'll have it.

aiight.....

testing:
curtains up (http://www.stimulate-ltd.com/audio/emencore/01-eminem-curtains_up_(encore_version)-rns.mp3)

hey it's workin........!!!!

....................................................

check your PM box.

yup, i was kicked off the computer, or i would've gotten the pop up box sayin that i had a PM, i got 'em.

good..........

Alright... all you people giving this cd such a bad wrap are nuts. This icd is far from bad. Its actually pretty fuckin good. Dont just listen to it once and make a judgement. Listen a few times and let it grow on you first. Trust me you'll start to see what im talkin about.

Anyways out of 10 i would give this about an 8-8.5.

Its no eminem show but its a decent follow up.

i rate it 9/10...i liked the album, can't get enough of it so i keep listenin to it...for the past 5 days i've been listenin to this album n no other music...n no i aint jumpin on Em's dick or suckin up by sayin oh the album is nice n blah blah....i just liked it alot...ofcourse EMINEM SHOW still rulez the top, but 3NCORE is off the hook for me...n i'm still gona but the orignal for my collections...

I'd give it a 3 as well. It's really nothing we haven't all heard before. There are maybe 3/4 songs that are good & truly worth listening to. So I'm sorry to say but this album sucks imo.

i would rate it a 7/10:D

i wana see how well it does when it actually comes out...i think it'll be sold out in tower records

Well I personally don't think it will do as good, as, The Eminem Show did. Jmo

well only time will tell i guess...hmmm

oh yeh it will itll sell shit loads coz of all the hype but if he doesnt finish with this album then he betta work his butt off to produce a class album next time

i dont think hez gona stop makin music, ofcourse hez gona keep comin out with albums...its not his time to go yet...

9.5/10
One Last Time and Yellow Brick Road = +

Noooo..................Eminem turned into a commercial sell out clown... :(

There are two good songs on the album...how can he did this?!?! Like Toy Soldiers is really good, Mosh is also one of the few good songs but it feels like propaganda..hmm...anyway...Eminem did smart move for himself but not for the fans that listen to him for his funny AND intelligent lyrics, smooth flow, good beats BUT NOT POPISH...well i dont doubt that little girls and boys will buy it cause MTV will love it.

Eminem thank you for SSLP (the best), MM (great but not on par with his debut LP) and some of the songs on TES (with this album he moved really close to sellout...).

Pretty damn shame....GOODBYE EMINEM! :(

^^& that's what called "over reacting"...
only 2 songs?!!!! don't you see that's it's not fair to say this...i mean
mockingbird, mosh, Encore, never enough, ricky ticky toc, rain man, we as americans, love you more (i kno the last 2 are old but they're in the album)...are all suck?!!
dammit...I won't even talk about this shit no mo.

Nothing great in this songs...and half of them aren't even on the album...anyway...i didn't say the album is pure crap...but it sure didn't please me...i wasnt what i expected...i really hope'd that it will go up after mediocre TES and he wont turn into sellout...but...if so....then so...

I really want to know what are your's top 5 rappers....cause i highly doubt about your's obejctivity..

i think that the encore album is great. what are you talking about that theres only two good songs on the CD? yellow brick road, like toy soldiers, mockingbird, crazy in love, puke, evil deeds, they are all great songs, really the only song on the CD that i dont like is one shot 2 shot

whole fucking album rox...
haterz read my sig hahaha

fucking brilliant...out of 10 i would rate it about an 8/10 not as good as i was expecting but still i have no major complaints on his new material...may not be as good as SSLP and MMLP and Eminem Show when they first come out because they were rated 10/10 in my books but "This album is by far...the most...*gun shot*....incredible thing...i've...ever...heard" well close enough anyways lol....peace out homie!!!

Evil Deeds (4 out of 10) - Lyrics are mediocre...he really raps only in last verse and the beat is monoton.

Never Enough (6 out of 10) - He have's pretty good flow and the lyrics arent that bad either but the rhymes are mostly on I (e)...so nothing great here even

Yellow Brick Road (6 out of 10) - Not so bad theme, average lyrics, beat is too popish and his flow is baaad.

Like Toy Soldiers (9 out of 10) - Great theme, great lyrics, fantastic flow and beat but there are some bad rhymes..but a great track anyway.


Mosh (8 out of 10) - Popular theme, good lyrics, horrible beat but really good flow and inovative rhymes.

Puke (4 out of 10) - Horrible lyrics, bad rhymes, stupid beat and too much singing and very little rapping.


My 1st Single (4 out of 10) - HORRIBLE BEAT, baaad lyrics but constant flow.

Rain Man (7 out of 10) - Very good theme and nice and funny lyrics and good flow but the chorus removes two points cause it really ruined to me...bad singing.

Big Weenie - i didnt really listened to it so closely but the beat is bad.

Just Lose It (2 out of 10) - the worst song on the album...what can i say....horrible lyrics, too much singing and stupid and horrible flow....the beat is the worst i ever heard.

Crazy in Love - (5 out of 10) - Bad theme..not so good beat and rhymes arent really good but this song saves the flow.

Encore - 7 (out of 10) - Good song..fantastic beat and here is the singing even good...and rapping is also pretty good...good outro song.


There are the songs which did i hear really closely...i will rate other songs later...

4.8/10..............

I admit I was expecting something different and... Well I thought it would be better but I'm cool with that album... I'ts actually very good and I just bought it today and I have been listening to it quite a lot.. And well I'm cannot say anything right now cuz I'm way too happy! I got the album and everything..

Damn Ya'll since ya'll are giving it like a 3 outa ten? Then Encore must be pretty bad?
Isnt it worth buying?

I give it 8/10

Vessay u gotta listen to it ur self...lol...but if ya don't know all good, i think Encore is awesome...i don't think i'm gettin bored of it ne time soon...

Nothing great in this songs
it's your own opinion, & i respect it



...and half of them aren't even on the album
that's because ueither listen to the bonus CD, or there's something wrong in ya ears, & i respect that too.

Funny you say, but there are three bonus songs about which i didnt even say a word. And funny is the thing that you even didnt disprove one argument with this bullshiting. :D

I really listened to these songs...Evill Deeds, Never Enough, Yellow Brick Road, Puke, My 1st Single, Rain Man, Just Lose It, Like Toy Soldiers, Mosh, Mockingbird, Crazy in Love, Encore, Ass Like That.

I didnt listened enough these: One Shot 2 Shot (which i cant cause Bizzares flow makes me sick), Spend Some Time, Big Weenie (which is a really stupid by lyrics).

So please disprove some of my arguments that the album is bad with good and mature arguments that the album is good. Until then i WILL laugh at you.

And the funny thing is that if you ONLY LISTEN TO EMINEM and not any other rapper you cant say that this is good rap album.

lol cool then ;)

Id give the whole album 8 1/2 out of 10. Its great!

yeah the're only 3 tracks but u didn't kno that they were in da album (bonus 1) so u didn't review them asshole which prooves that you are not objective...

& i don't think that your opinion is that important anymore, cuz you ignored "spend some time"

To put it plainly... This shit sucks major ass. Ain't but a few good tracks, and even they have their suckie points. And here's why....

I really don't like Em's new style. He's talking all fast and doesn't pause to emphasize his punches (as if he has some anymore).

Em is singing WAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY too much. I mean shit, for someone who talks a mouth-full about Ja singing. This wigga sings in those same 2 octaves in every song and it's annoying AS FUCK! It almost stopped me from fully listening to a few songs but I stuck through it. That killed most of the album.

My favorite song is "My first single." That shit's actually the best track [most entertaining] in my opinion. LOL@ the R. Kelly line. I think that should be on the radio.

ONE of my least favorites is the new song on the radio now, ENCORE. WTF is the hype about Dre rapping? I barely wanna hear him on San Andreas. That's basically Dre's song. And on top of that, Em's wack on this shit. Everything he said apart from the "hot potato" line.





Oh, and by the way

Slim Shady LP > Eminem Show > Marshall Mathers > Enfinate > Encore.
I'd rather listen to a Nelly album than this shit.

...And the funny thing is that if you ONLY LISTEN TO EMINEM and not any other rapper you cant say that this is good rap album.
Powerful arguement. I think (and this is just my opinion) that people who give this album anything 8/10 or above are those who anticipated for SO long another Em album. Those who can't admit that a simple imperfect human being like you and I are liable to make mistakes, and possibly even wack songs/albums. I've always been an Em fan, but if this was the score for the Eminem Show, he woulda lost a fan QUICK fast in a hurry.

And what hurts me the MOST. On a TRL interview, they asked what he thinks is his best album, and he said his next one. "Music has to constantly get better, otherwise you have nothing." And he was emotional about this. Everybody making wack albums (don't buy the new Dipset). Encore is FAR from progress.

i give the cd a 8 outta ten cuz i love it to death but his other cd was a bit better

Wish yall would say more shit about the album. I personally wanna walk up on Em and stab him like CJ in GTA:San Andreas.

^^oh please...

7.5 out of 10

I think it's a 7/10... I like it, but it's not that good.

4/10. Shit;s annoying as fuck. Get lyrical, like "Still Don't Give A Fuck" and "Soldier" and shit like dat. I'm seriously plotting to stab this fool.

I give this album 0/10. Eminem is just a joke now. And D12, G Unit, 50 Cent should all be shot.

Zavad, is it true you grew an afro and gave your girlfriend a pink dildo like CJ?

Overall I would rate it 8/10. I mean, Eminem is trying out different styles of music and I give him props for that. And I actually like the Cd. Eminem needs all of our support in this stressful time. He just released a Cd, and yes there is going to be some haters, there always is. But true fans dont really like the cd and are bashing Em for it. It's not really his fault. Dre did produce it, maybe it was his fault? I am sticking with Em and I love his new Cd. I just hope everyone here can continue to support him and not turn into a hater. He does need our support he is human and this is a stressful time for him.

And I am not jumping on Em's dick either. And I am not just saying it's nice because I am a suckup. I am a die hard fan of his and I love his new cd. He has gotten rid of his anger, sure it made great songs but there is better... more meaningful things to talk about. I heard in an interview that Hailie is keeping in line. He greatest fear is being away from Hailie, so she has been keeping him out of trouble. "My greatest fear is being away from Hailie. I couldn't image getting in trouble, going to court then having to explain to her I had to go to jail and I wouldn't be able to see her she would have to visit me in jail". He says in one of his interviews. I think Eminem's Maturity has gone up tremendously and I think rapping out the soldiers in Iraq, or Hailie they make for great songs. Sure, it is no Eminem show but It's a good compromise I like it. I would have to change my rating to 9/10. Thanks.

...Zavad, is it true you grew an afro and gave your girlfriend a pink dildo like CJ?
People still remember that name? Yeah I had a fro, and I like using a dildo wit my girl.
Makes her go from :p to :eek: in a few minutes.

I do like Em's old style though... Where he just didn't care about the world or what anyone thought.... I think the pressure is really comming to him. I like his new style to... Kinda. Yeah, jokes. I do! :)

yeah Em's old style was so phat...better than the new one, still, he's gr8.

hmm...i give it a 9.2 haha, but i think i give the eminem show like 100000000000 because i was so obbssesed with that cd, well not obssessed i was more like addicted to it, my discmen was broken around the time it came out, so i would run around and like pay people a dollar to listen to it for an hour during school work haha, i dunno that cd did weird shit to me, encore didn't have the same effect, but i still loved it. it just seems like marshall has less shit to talk about now, but anyway...yes 9.2!

Yeah I agree. How he used to rap was a whole lot better, but he is maturing and stuff but I still love him. :p

Urgh, some people are so blind to the fact the Encore album is pure bullshit. I'd give the album a rating of three out of ten. It's extremely annoying to listen to and has very few enjoyable tracks. This is Eminem at his worst ever, Infinite was far better. Hopefully he'll redeem himself with his next album until which the only Eminem I'll be listening to will be older material. Most of the tracks are awful, simply.

14. Ass Like That
6/10 A whole song with Em rapping as Triumph the puppet dog?.... He does way too much of that "pee pee caca" shit. Again I know this is suppose to be funny but.... it ain't to me....

15. Spend Some Time
8/10 Overall pretty nice track good beat good verses from Obie, Em, and Stat Quo. 50's is only okay and his doesn't quite fit because the song seems to be about falling for chicks you shouldn't.


Between a bad track and a good track there's two points? Between 6 and 8? A bad track doesn't deserve 6 out of 10, come on. You complain about how bad some of these tracks were but still gave EVERY SINGLE ONE 6 or above.

Think these things through.

how can he did this

You really should start reading what you've written, there's far too many childish mistakes in your posts.

It's your opnion that the album is bullshit...that doesn't make it a fact, or something all of us have to agree on. People who like it aren't blind, they just like it, it's as simple as that.

don't you see that's it's not fair to say this...i mean
mockingbird, mosh, Encore, never enough, ricky ticky toc, rain man, we as americans, love you more

That it's, not ''that's it's''.

Mockingbird is okay. Encore is decent. Never Enough is awful. Ricky Ticky Toc is NOT a freestyle and has one or two decent lyrics, the rest being his recent rammbling bullshit style. Rainman is okay, has a corney element. We as Americans is quality. Love you more is bareable.

We as Americans is my favorite if these but none are excellent tracks by Eminem's standards.

It's your opnion that the album is bullshit...that doesn't make it a fact, or something all of us have to agree on. People who like it aren't blind, they just like it, it's as simple as that.

You should put some Eminem photos in your signature too, he might not think you love him enough.

The Song Encore is the best by far~~~~ and il not give it ah ratin cus dats gay______________




peace

You should put some Eminem photos in your signature too, he might not think you love him enough.


that's the stupidest "tryin to insult" insult i've ever heard, i wasn't even so much defending eminem, more just tellin you to stop acting like a know it all.

Encore is pathetic, you'd realise that if you weren't a blind devotee.

Go discuss other important hip-hop issues... like wether Marshall and Kim will have another child or how much his hair looks better blond than brown.

HIP-HOP NEEDS YOU!!

:Laughs:

^^we might do that in the Eminem forum... but this is the Encore forum, so why would we talk about Marshall here? We talk about his latest cd here. >.<

Encore is pathetic, you'd realise (realize) that if you weren't a blind
devotee.

Damn Mahatma, your game is off, two mispelled words in the same post? You need to work on that shit cuz.

Honestly though, you are starting to get annoying with the whole spell check thing. We all understand how intelligent you are, now please just leave all of us meek people to live our unintelligent lives in peace, without the presence of your overwhelming IQ to further reduce our self-esteem.

Thank You
