Biography

Born Marshall Mathers III, superstar rapper Eminem (his alias is a play on his initials, M and M) has always appeared to court controversy. Eminem grew-up near 8 Mile Road which separates the City of Detroit from the suburbs. He claims to have survived a harrowing up-bringing at the hands of a drug-addled mother following their abandonment by his father. These circumstances and events have been… Read more in Amazon's Eminem Store

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Eminem's fourth album offers few surprises, but still enough pleasures to carry the day. As evinced by Em's pre-election, pro-voting "Mosh," this is not exactly the same Eminem who seemingly crapped on anything and everything. Encore finds a surprisingly mature Eminem waxing reflective about his battle with Benzino ("Like Toy Soldiers") rather than unloading both barrels. However, it's not all elder statesmanship: "Puke" goes after his ex-wife Kim with incredible scorn, and "Big Weenie" showcases the familiar juvenile humor that made him famous. If Encore has a clear weakness, it's the bland production--the same plodding sound that he and Dr. Dre cooked up on the previous three albums. The exotic flavor of "Ass Like That" catches the ear, but many others run off the same monotonous minor-key melodies and tempos. Of course, people buy Eminem albums to hear him spit first and foremost, and in that regard few fans will be disappointed by Encore; it'd just be nice to see him switch up his sound at some point. --Oliver Wang

Product Description

"ENCORE" is multi-platinum recording artist EMINEM's first full album of new material since 2002's "THE EMINEM SHOW," which spawned the hit singles "Without Me" and "Cleanin' Out My Closet." That album went on the sell over 19 million albums worldwide. He followed up in November 2002 with Music From And Inspired By The Motion Picture ‘8 Mile’, which featured the Academy Award winning song "Lose Yourself" and sold almost 9 million copies worldwide. Earlier this year, Eminem’s group D-12 released D-12 World (global sales over 3 million) and scored hits with "My Band" and "How Come".

ENCORE, Executive Produced by DR. DRE, features guest performances by 50 CENT, D-12, NATE DOGG, OBIE TRICE, and STAT QUO.

BONUS DISC: This two disc set includes a bonus CD with three previously unreleased EMINEM songs.

I can see how some Eminem fans might be disappointed with this album. Too many people were expecting another `The Eminem Show' or `Marshall Mathers LP'. But to their surprise, they got *gasp* a different album.

The same thing happens with almost every artist out there. Around the fourth album or so the artist changes their style, wanting to do something different, but they end up being called sell-outs, or people are disappointed in the new sound.

In my opinion, this could be Eminem's best album so far, or at least it matches up to the rest of his work. Except `Encore' works on a different level than his previous albums. Until now his albums have had a consistency through most of the disc, where if you like one track, you'll probably like the next. But this is not the case for `Encore'. Yes, there are tracks that fit in with the sound of `The Eminem Show', but there are some that people may find annoying, or disgusting.

Marshall shows his sense of humor much more on this album than he has done in the past. To the dismay of some, his sense of humor includes potty-humor. On more than a couple tracks you'll hear burping or farting noises, but if you can get past that you'll probably enjoy those songs.

I've decided to give this album five stars for a few reasons.

Reason #1: I can't give it 4 ˝ stars.

Reason #2: I think a lot of the reviews on this site gave it an unjustified low rating, so I'll do what I can to balance it out.

Reason #3: Unlike most rap albums, this one has variety, and it shows Marshall's talent and personality.

If you're expecting a rerun of Eminem's past albums you might want to listen to `Encore' before you buy it, but otherwise I would say this is a great CD to add to your collection.

What? December 2, 2004
Format:Audio CD
What was he thinking? There is only one good song on here, "Toy Soldiers". With the release of his previous album "The Eminem Show", which would've gotten 5 star from me, I thought he might actually be maturing and developing a following. There is no doubt that Eminem is an artist and some what of a genius but after hearing this album I keep thinking 'What the hell was he thinking?' I really hate bashing an artist, esp. one that I used to like, but honestly! These lyrics are so immature that it's embarrassing to see this album selling so many copies. Grow up.

It's over...deal with it March 7, 2005
Format:Audio CD
Em's creativity was at an end with The Eminem Show. Here, the beats are all bog standard and unimaginative and the lyrics are all recycled from his first 3 albums. Dr. Dre is going through the motions as a producer and Em is afraid to break his now typecast molde and try anything new. There's nothing for you here but more of the same minus the passion.

More so than The Eminem Show, the white rapper focus's on the government and his hatred for George Bush. In songs Like Toy Soldier's, and beats down Mariah Carey in the song Puke. Read more
