Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Marshall Mathers has always delighted in confounding expectations, so we should have guessed he'd respond to the title Most Important Artist Of His Generation with Encore – an album peppered with puerile humour, myriad references to his past career, and plenty of farts, burps and vomiting. Thankfully, even Slim Shady on a bad day can be a fairly mighty proposition: the seething "Mosh" is a rare moment of high seriousness--a trudging anti-Bush epic in the vein of "White America" that positively vibrates with bile – while the skittery "My 1st Single" proves that Mathers can be engaging even when he's rapping about basically nothing.

The key to understanding Encore is through its pursuit of sheer offensiveness for offence's sake, be it the comic accent on "Ass Like That", or the relentless gay jibes of "Rain Man" – all of which seem to be more about prodding the hornet's nest of controversy that any genuine prejudice. Still, it's occasionally hard to escape that there's a certain weariness to Em's delivery, an impression that sometimes extends to the arrangements – see "Like Toy Soldiers", a jaundiced account of rap feuding, rendered unnecessarily corny by a sample of "Toy Soldiers" by '80s two-hit wonder Martika. --Louis Pattison



Product Description

Rap superstar Eminem returns with his fourth solo studio album, Encore. Includes the first, much publicised single "Just Lose It" and the politically charged "Mosh".

4.0 out of 5 stars Indispensible with a few silly moments!, 19 Nov 2004
The much anticipated return album, is a mixed bag of Eminem at his best and at his worst. Tracks like "Mosh" seething with righteous rage, the stirring/disturbing "Spend some time" and truly moving "Mockingbird" really shine through. Even the marching beat between the chorus refrain of "Like toy soiders" works well, even though on first listen it sounds like it shouldn't! People can knock "Just lose it", but it has a great melody and although Jackson is too easy a target, how can you wacth the video and not smirk?! However, "Puke", "Rain man" and "Big Weenie" are adolscent lyrical nonsense that fail to excite , let alone offend, accompanied by possibly the worst melodies Em has ever committed to disc! Thankfully they are sandwiched in the middle of the CD so you can neatly skip forward!The thing is Eminem has not made a truly consistent album since "the Slim Shady LP", although the excellent "Eminem Show" came very close. However, his albums are always worth getting for the truly great stuff that makes the bulk. This CD is no exception!

5.0 out of 5 stars Are other people hearing what i'm hearing?, 12 Nov 2004
By Ross Bownes (Sheffield, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The wait is over, the follow up to The Eminem Show is here and has been greeted with various different responses.

Many have said it's ok, but not up to his previous releases. In my opinion i think many people are missing the point and idea behind the album.

Before hearing the album i was desperately hoping Eminem wouldn't have made another 'D12 World' album, lame, long and uninspired. Thankfully he hasn't, for the first time in a long time Eminem goes it alone, and it shows.

First listen the album seems strange in comparison to anything Eminem has done before, the songs are more melodic and the lyrics are slightly different, but don't be fooled - this is merely a distorted interpretation of his previous recordings. From The Slim Shady Lp through to Encore we see Eminem evolving his style - comical on Slim Shady, Emotional on Marshall Mathers, Pissed off on Eminem Show and finally Mature on Encore.

Songs such as 'Toy Soldiers' and 'Evil Deeds' are instant classics, making them radio friendly, but deeper songs such as 'Mosh' and 'Spend Some Time' show real versitility within his style, relying more on emotion and pure energy. He even revisits his comical side on 'Ass Like That' which is one of the best songs featured, as Eminem changes his accent, fantastic.

All in all, buy the CD, make your own mind up, in my opinion the other reviews are way off course, see what YOU think

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 17 Nov 2004
I bought this album a few days back and have not been disappointed. This is a high class album with some real classics in.

To put a few things straight: If you want another Marshal Mathers LP, this isnt it. It is more along the lines of the Eminem Show, with some more heart-full tracks mixed in to give it a unique edge. This album is better produced than any of his previous albums, perhaps not as experimental and innovative - but lets be honest he's already milked innovation dry - but lyrics still leave you sitting in silence moments after the CD finishes.

Yes there are 1 or 2 fillers (namely 'Ass Like That' and 'Big Weenie'), but it's not worth putting the album down over. Trust me, I hate a bad albums as much as anyone else but this is seriously another classic.

'Like Toy Soldiers' and 'Spend Some Time' are my favourites right now but every Eminem fan knows that it changes to your mood...
