Eminem, as always, did not disappoint us.
Starting this review, I immediately tell you that the thing that impressed me the most is the high quality of the music. It reaches levels of perfection in songs like "Mockingbird" (personally I think it's the best on the album), "Evil Deeds," "Never Enough," "Like Toy Soldiers".
Regarding the topics covered, there are few novelties. The only real novelties are the songs "Like Toy Soldiers" and "Mosh"; Eminem talks about his hatred against the war in Iraq. Meanwhile, in "Evil Deeds and Puke," Eminem reiterates his hatred for Kim and his mother.
In "Mockingbird," Eminem talks about his love for his daughter and talks about the dark times when he had no money. Eminem indeed comes from a poor family.
"Never Enough" is a very beautiful song, very fun and danceable, in which 50 Cent and Nate Dogg take turns in a way I would say is great.
"Yellow Brick Road" is not a bad rhythmic song. "Like Toy Soldiers" impresses a lot with its beautiful intro and the "marching" music that gives a compelling rhythm to the song, sung greatly by Eminem. "Mosh" is the darkest of the songs, a little like "Cleaning Out My Closet".
All in all, a very well-made album, garnished with "Just Lose It," which was very well-liked.
The lyrics, obviously aimed at social themes, reach poetic moments in pure high-level hip hop style and irony is emphasized by danceable and refined rhythms.
"Just Lose It" demonstrates this ease in creating truly captivating melodies.
His voice, delicate and aggressive when needed, very well conveys the message he wants to give.
Never Enough is an astronomical disappointment, an insignificant song and VERY CLUB-ORIENTED.
"Encore is certainly a completely different product compared to previous works, but not for that reason inferior."
"Mockingbird is undoubtedly the best of the album and one of Eminem’s best ever."
Lost among the rivers of drugs and medication, Eminem has no more ideas.
With this album, Eminem’s magical moment and great creative streak definitely ended.
