Eminem - Encore + Bonus CD
Don Breezio:
1.Curtains Up (encore version) ……..
2.Evil Deeds – cool song…nothing special…just kind of average in all aspects. 7/10
3.Never Enough (feat. 50 Cent & Nate Dogg) – great song….tight beat….wish it was longer…good song though. 8.5/10
4.Yellow Brick Road – really like this song….good beat, em’s flow is good…9/10
5.Like Toy Soldiers – my favorite track on the cd….amazing song, great sample in the hook. Great lyrics, great flow, great beat. 10/10
6.Mosh – not really feelin the song that much only because I feel like the beat could’ve been better and em’s rapping should’ve been a little faster…6/10
7.Puke – very different song…I enjoyed it….gets points for creativity but loses points for the semi-lame lyrics…7/10
8.My 1st Single - ….wtf is up with the beat….its so annoying and lame…this should’ve been taken off the album….1/10
9.Paul (skit)…these are getting a little old
10.Rain Man – this sounds like its straight from the eminem show (which is my favorite eminem album btw). If Christopher reeve hadn’t died I would think this was kinda funny….but em recorded this before he did so I wont hate on em. I feel like this coulda been something from MMLP too….im gonna give it a 8/10
11.Big Weenie – this song is pretty funny….i think the hook is tight even though i can see it getting on my nerves though…8/10
12.Em Calls Paul (Skit) – lame….annoying interlude…would skip this definitely
13.Just Lose It – I am not sure necessarily what to say on this one…one side of me thinks its lame because em always puts one of these damn singles out as the first from each album….on the other hand….part of me actually enjoys it I guess because its just kind of a fun song…the video is funny. 7.5/10
14.Ass Like That – this song is hilarious…the chorus is awesome…I thought this was a great great song lol….ill give it a 9/10
15.Spend Some Time (feat. Obie Trice, Stat Quo, 50 Cent) – Obie’s verse is really good, so is em’s…I love when em does those really chilled out verses…stat quo’s verse was alright but probably coulda been left out of the song….50’s verse was decent…really good track for the most part…9/10
16.Mockingbird – I really like this song….its more personal…chilled out….i would say this would be my 2nd favorite song from the cd…10/10
17.Crazy In Love – Em’s flow is the style a lot of people don’t like…personally I like it but only in moderation. The whole song probably shouldn’t be that way….but it fits….gets on my nerves a little…6.5/10
18.One Shot 2 Shot (feat. D12) – this sounds like a standard D12 track (one of the better ones)…I like it…8/10
19.Final Thought (Skit) – ….i dunno what the point of this was
20.Encore/Curtains Close - …Encore is the one song out of the 3 I originally heard that gave me hope for this album…I really enjoy this song…dre sounds great, 50 sounds great, em sounds great….this is an easy 10/10
Bonus Cd
1.We As Americans – probably one of the best eminem songs ever made….great feel to it…I love when eminem gets political….though its lame they edited the line “I’d rather see the president **** (dead)” 10/10
2.Love You More – this is a really good song….mostly lyrically…the beat is cool but the lyrics are cool because they show a seriously dysfunctional relationship…10/10
3.Ricky Ticky Toc – the recording isn’t as good of quality as the other 2…song is kinda generic…nothing special…can’t really see myself listening to it often…6/10
chances are i will pick this cd up when it drops....but it will probably not get a lot of rotation in my stereo....but who knows...it may grow on me more....im gonna say overall the album is about a 7.5/10
white Boy:
i completely dissagree. heres mine.. i dont have ratings.. but 7/10 for evil deeds, and same for puke.. thats just 2 .. but both of those aremnt higher than a 4

8.5? WTF... I know the quality of music being put out by rappers these days isn't too great, and it's a little easier to give higher ratings for albums when compared to everything else out there, but 8.5? You've got to be kidding me...
