![Recovery [Explicit]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61fXEwg-lAL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
This is a really good, somewhat underrated, album. It is not at the same caliber as MMLP or the Eminem Show, but still a really good CD with some memorable songs. This album has received a fair amount of criticism among Eminem fans, which I feel is largely undeserved. I am not saying it is his best album, but I think it is still a good album. There are a few songs which are not good, such as "Puke" and "Rainman" and a few songs that are mediocre (i.e. "Just Lose It"). However, Encore has many, many excellent songs, including some of Eminem's greatest hits, such as "Like Toy Soldiers" and "Mockingbird," songs which are poignant and explore serious subject matter. I also like "Yellow Brick Road" and "Encore" (the closing track). Furthermore, the bonus tracks in the Deluxe Edition are very good. I personally think that if Eminem had omitted "Puke," "Rainman," and maybe "Big Weenie" or "My 1st Single" but instead added the bonus tracks, the album would not have received as much derision from fans as it has.
I personally love this album, I can get past a few weird songs as I feel that the good far outweighs the bad. In Encore, Eminem explores serious subject matter, such as raising children, the deadly nature of rap beefs, his own past and he even dabbles in politics. True, some of the songs have juvenile/toilet humor, but, as I said, those are a few bad songs I can overlook in an otherwise good album. Perhaps not Eminem's best album, but still a very high quality album, and worth owning if you are an Eminem fan.
