It starts off very strong, the middle portion is fucked but it ends strong again...and honestly, it would have been great had the intended songs not leaked and pissed Em off. It's a shame.
I agree with this almost 100%.
What always got me were 2 things.
1. Mosh was a great idea, not executed as I would have liked (flowed too slow and didnt give it that extra umphh it could have needed) and was released too late for the election (if that was his intention).
2. Yellow brick road I never liked, barely ever listened to it and I still bumped a lot of encore. It was just so boring to me.
Encore overall did have some great verses and some pretty good songs. But the combination of a few horrible song concepts and the slow flow, which kind of showed he was off his game, as well as the lack of lyricism really bothered me to the point I kind of hate this album even as I enjoy a handful of songs.
