About this album

Interscope (2004) Released: 12 Nov 2004 20 tracks (77:09)
Encore is the fifth studio album by American rapper Eminem. It was set for release on November 16, 2004, but was moved up to November 12, after the album was leaked to the Internet. Encore sold 760,000 copies in its shortened three day opening week and claimed the #1 spot on the Billboard Top 200. The album sold 1,632,000 copies in its first two weeks of release in the United States in November, 2004. Worldwide sales of the album stand at 11 million copies, with 7.8 million being sold in the United States.

The shock-oriented lyrics in Eminem’s previous three albums were toned down somewhat in Encore in favor of a lighter approach. Eminem was already beginning to show this lighter side on The Eminem Show and continued it with Encore.

The album features substantially more production from Dr. Dre than The Eminem Show. The Eminem Show was mostly produced by Eminem and longtime collaborator Jeff Bass.

The cover for Encore, which shows Slim Shady taking a “final bow”, is representative of the fact that Eminem would soon plan to retire his alter ego. The outro to “Encore/Curtains Down” also hints to this, as Slim Shady can be heard shooting into the audience and finally committing suicide by sticking a pistol in his mouth. These events are also depicted in the album’s inlay art. The album was also made to seem as though it was recorded live, due to simulated audience claps and chants in some parts. On the front of the CD there is a bullet and a mock suicide note from Eminem. it reads:

    This album is ok - it has its good moments (Puke, Just Lose It, Ass Like That, Mockingbird) and a horrible ones (My 1st Single). Dre saved the album as far as music goes because beats are very good for the most part. lyrics are nothing special especially for Eminem's standards. But considering the facts that he was heavily on drugs doing this (he even said that on Recovery) its not that bad.

    encore is good some artists couldn't make somethin like this at all and em did it in a bad drug addiction so, respect

    although it's not his classic, i really like it and things that make it "not enough good" make it funny, in a fact and Mockingbird, Love You More, Evi Deeds make it personal, sad and that's why this album is good

    It sounds like he's TRYing to be a rapper. He's not himself in this one. Something's wrong. It's somewhat transparent in Mockingbird, but songs like Puke and Just Lose It are covering up something painful inside him. Something sad. Something broken.

    Why all the hate? It's no SSLP/MMLP/Eminem Show, but it sure has some great songs. Evil Deeds, Yellow Brick Road, Toy Soldiers, (Just Lose it), Spend Some Time, Mockingbird and Crazy in Love are all good songs. Thinking about it, maybe it's even better than the Slim Shady LP.

    V Lose Yourself wasn't on this album. It was made specifically for 8 Mile and then released on the greatest hits album Curtain Call

    BarneyJWY, I definitely agree that 'Lose Yourself' is a highlight on this album. Definitely agree with you on that one.

    It's far to be the the worst album, I even think that this album is really good. Much better than Relapse and Recovery!

  • BarneyJWY

    This album was terrible. It was a ho tmess and I hated the belching, puking, and farting sounds too. The only highlight is "Lose Yourself", "Yellow Brick Road", and "Mockingbird".

    This is where Em lost it. Every song on this album is an annoying mess, save We As Americans.

    I think it's fucking golden.

    better than recovery [8], although it doesn't take much. [3]

    Worst album! This is horrible, save for Yellow Brick Road, Like Toy Soliders, Rain Man, One Shot 2 Shot... but even then it falls short of anything from the incredible trilogy of SSLP, MMLP, TES. The lyrics are way too simple compared to the complex lines and creeping themes he wove prior. This is just a lazy cash-in. Sure, he was on drugs (The Beatles created The White Album, so there's no excuse), but a bad album is a bad album. Dre shoulda had more sense than to press this. Unless he just saw the dollar signs in Em's eyes. He will never peak again, he may be sober, but he's lost it. Fallen off. Defecating on his own legacy with each release. I'll stick to my time-warp of 1999-02.

    Not the best album but I have nostalgia for it. My favourite songs: We As Americans, Like Toy Soldiers, Mockingbird, Mosh.
