Encore is the hangover after the party. It is the therapy session that went wrong. It is the moment a genius decided to burn down the stadium while the audience was still inside.

It is the sound of an Encore that should have never happened, and in its tragic flaws, it is utterly fascinating. eminem - encore
- A messy classic for the patience listener. Skip "Big Weenie," stay for the suicide note final track. Encore is the hangover after the party
