Encore [PA] by Eminem

Pros: At least four of the songs are good...
Cons: ...but that does not compensate for...just read the review, will you?

Holy Unsurpassable Musical Disaster of Epic Proportions! I mean, who would have thought…? No, it can’t be! Even when the signs of decline showed in The Eminem Show, even when he had 50 Cent signed to Shady/Aftermath and ...

Pros: Mockingbird, Like Toy Soldiers is ok I guess...
Cons: lame beats, lame production, lame lyrics, lame song ideas, lame skits

In some of my previous reviews, I've made reference to artists getting so big, they could fart on a snare drum and sell a million copies. The idea, of course, it that not only would an artist lose all artistic credibility, but that the general public ...

Pros: One or two good songs.
Cons: Everything else, no joke.

To be honest, there is no need to spend any lengthy amount of time on an intro to this review: I think I'm right in saying that everyone in the world knows everything about the hip-pop superstar that is Eminem. Ever since his explosive, brilliant ...

Pros: Yellow Brick Road, Mosh, Rain Man, Big Weenie, Ass Like That, Mockingbird
Cons: My 1st single, crazy in love, Encore, One Shot 2 Shot

I've said it a million times about liberals, fans, critics, and consumers in general - you can almost set your watch to the things they do. This time, Nov 12 2004 was the time to set the watch yet again. It was crybaby day, time for fans to turn their ...

Pros: Mockingbird
Cons: Em's awful singing and rhyming; Repetitive "Shady" Production and Subject Matter; Juvenile and Immature

Eminem is a case example of an artist who has gone from greatness to the pits of eternal hell where the kings of whackness reside. Eminem is easily the most popular rapper right next to the late Tupac Shakur, and was for a number of years one of my ...

Pros: The song dedicated to his daughter
Cons: Everything else

People...It feels so good to be back... Do we really want more of a previously talented emcee's boring profaneness? After showing faint but noticeable signs of uncreativity on his last album The Eminem Show and making listeners ...

Pros: Great rhymes and production, the first half.
Cons: A few of the guest spots, some of the ideas, faltering second half.

It doesn't need to be said, but Encore was as anticipated a release as anything. Releasing ill album after ill album, Em has a great record for quality LP releases. But as the days were counted down until he released this particular album, ...

Pros: Em still has talent; solid production throughout; a handful of incredible tracks
Cons: Too much singing; some of the humor is too juvenile; definitely his worst album

Let's talk about the public perception of one Marshall Mathers for a second. To the mainstream crowd: he's hilarious and controversial. He makes songs about his life and such but always injects humor into it and manages to impress most of the time. Oh, ...

Pros: Eminem's least popular album.
Cons: Eminem's least popular album.

Boy am I going to lose a lot of friends over this one. I love listening to Eminem- especially this album. I can't really explain why. Maybe since Jodie Foster went public with her fascination, I don't have to. For some reason, his songs remind me of ...

Pros: Some production and lyrics; comic value
Cons: Repetitive and redundant in every sense; Eminem's novelty no longer novel

Considering the vast majority of his material has been built around dissing celebrities, lampooning pop culture, lambasting his dysfunctional mother and killing his ex-wife, with the occasional serenade to his daughter thrown in for good measure, ...

Pros: A few tracks that go outside the usual bullsh*t.
Cons: EVERYTHING else.

I ain't even gotta make no God d*mn sense, I just did a whole song and I didn’t say sh*t I really thought about just submitting a review with just that line as the review. Yes, I know it’s supposed to be ironic and a joke, but it really ...

Pros: The comedy tracks, the skits, Eminem's Rodney Dangerfield caliber self parody.
Cons: Mostly weak production, over used topics, weaker lyrics and flow than before.

As a fan of Eminem's before his 1999 major label debut The Slim Shady LP., it's almost surreal to think of the height of stardom that he's at now. Back in 1998 when The Slim Shady EP. was creating a huge buzz in underground hip hop, one ...

Pros: It's made of plastic!!! And track 16 is not too bad...
Cons: Fifteen words are not cutting it... you'll just have to read the review.

It has been some time since the lyrical genius known to all as Eminem, Slim Shady, and Marshall Mathers, has released a solo album. As many rappers tend to do, Eminem’s flow has become smoother and more polished over time. However, he rarely ...

Pros: entertaining on the first listen
Cons: Eminem is SINGING more then half of this album, mediocre lyricism, horrible production

Recently, the rap industry has left a sour taste in my mouth, mostly due to the recent singles and albums that have confirmed the popular "rap is going down" syntagm. Unfortunately this CD is no exception and disappoints from multiple points of view, ...

Pros: Average production, a few above average cuts
Cons: Imature, overdone, commercial and recycled.

This is my first review on Epinions.com. Enjoy and leave comments! I wont lie - The Eminem Show was the first rap CD I ever owned and I loved it. Then I got hold of all Eminem’s solo albums, his crew albums, his soundtrack, albums from ...
