"Much of the concern consists of unfounded fear."

"Encore" is the fifth studio album from the 1972 born in St. Joseph, Missouri Eminem. It was released in November of 2004. It includes as already the previous album one more departure from the so-called hardcore rap.

It also includes a lot of serious tracks. He criticized in the song "Mosh" as the policies of George W. Bush and calls for these to choose not to. Next he worked various beefs (Like Toy Soldiers), wiedmente a song his daughter (Mockingbird), based on the eponymous film (Rain Man), told to go its own way on the will and to master all challenges (Never Enough) prepared his fans at the announced time out before (Encore). At the end of the last song is heard shots. Eminem apparently shoots first visitors of his concert and then commits suicide. This is also depicted in the booklet.

In addition, however, he gets funny again in a provocative and ironic about various celebrities. When songs "Just lose it", he addresses such as Michael Jackson and the then current new child abuse trial. For this song he had so insert also a lot of criticism. In "Crazy in Love" the name says it all.

The bonus tracks are dedicated to the topics of USA, Love & his career so far.

What I always liked when Eminem are the booklets. He pursued a theme that runs through the entire album in an album. The songs just as the cover and the booklet are also included. So even with Encore eg where the events to listen to the last song are, first shown in the booklet and will be continued. One can simply say the whole package right.

With his fifth album Eminem cemented his success as a white rapper. This will be discussed in addition to the usual ironic and often sarcastic songs repeatedly also serious issues was also incorporated by the audience and fits just as much as the image of the evil scapegoat.
