I’ve listened to Encore a couple of times now and it’s definitely no Marshall Mathers LP, it’s no Eminem Show, but it’s an alright album. It just seems to lack the energy and emotion that the previous albums had. There are some good songs on here, and some really good songs on here, but not every song is great like on MM LP. I guess you can’t nail it everytime, but this album is more comparable to the Slim Shady LP in terms of quality. Eminem seems too busy making fart noises and other sounds on this album instead of taking shots at people and laying into them with the emotion we’re used to. I thought his songs were maturing as he was, but I guess we’ll have to see what happens in ’06-’07. I’m gonna go keep listening and let the other songs grow on me as I did for the Eminem Show. Sweet! It’s almost time for dinner 2.
And an hour later I still haven’t eaten because a backup bombed. Now I think I can finally go to dinner 2. May as well be breakfast now. Wasn’t that your intention now? Please don’t ask me questions how the backup bombed it wasn’t my mal.
What I’m listening to: Eminem – Encore – We As Americans
