Jun 25, 2015 Decided to give Encore a listen for the first time in many years today, although most will probably disagree, minus a few tracks, it's a fairly good album. Like, look at this tracklist; Evil Deeds Never Enough Yellow Brick Road Like Toy Soldiers Mosh Just Lose it (Debatable) Spend Some Time Mockingbird Crazy In Love Encore We As Americans Love You More Thanks a f---ing strong album imo Gets way too much hate. There's more good tracks than bad.
Jun 25, 2015 Absolutly not a classic or one of the best Em's project but yeah this album have good songs. I prefer listening Encore than Recovery
Jun 25, 2015 If the bad songs on the album weren't as bad, it would probably be considered as a good album by most. But the lows of the album are hella low. On another note, the song Encore is rarely talked about and underated imo. Always thought it was a b-----r
Jun 25, 2015 To me Encore is the biggest bait and witch is Hip Hop history. 5 great tracks followed by an album of BS. Disappointing. Love the good tracks. Bad ones are really bad.
Jun 26, 2015 I wouldn't mind a re-release of Encore with a revamped tracklist - drop tracks 8-14, add tracks 21-23, and maybe throw in a few unreleased songs from that era as well One can dream
Jun 26, 2015 lmfao @ Just Lose It, Evil Deeds, and Mosh being good and you included songs that aren't on the track list bad album, bad thread
Jun 26, 2015 Encore doesn't get too much hate though. it's fine. Do you dislike Mosh because of his political opinion, or more so just because it's preachy political opinion s---? I see a lot of people online dislike it, but when it came out (in australia) I knew a lot of people that enjoyed it and it was even on the radio a bit. (apparently Encore charted as #1 album here though, lol.) I honestly have next-to-no-idea what the context of most of the lyrics are or what they mean. I think most Aus people think it's alright because they don't "get it". I wouldn't say it's an amazing song, but i don't mind it coming on in the background, think that's more-so because of the production than anything though.
Jun 26, 2015 no I totally agree with Em's opinion that Bush was a terrible president - but the song is unfocused, aimless, and poorly written. "This is bin Laden, look at his head noddin"? "Push shove, mush, f--- Bush"? "Mr. Kiss His Asscrack, he's a class act"? His delivery suggests a profound, thoughtful message...but he says nothing of merit
Jun 26, 2015 Ah okay. Yeah I understand that. I haven't heard it in a long time and don't really remember it too much apart from it was, in summary, a "f--- Bush" song. After thinking about it, when he's like "march now its our final hour" then you go on to hear lines that you mentioned... It kinda defeats the songs purpose.
Jun 26, 2015 The album is a tale of two halves lol. But quoting 5 random words from a song is still the worst way to discredit it. So annoying.
Jun 26, 2015 Encore to me was a lazy and badly executed album Even the good tracks on there don't really match up to his first 3 albums At least with Relapse, Recovery and the MMLP2 there was more effort put in
