Today's San Diego Union Tribune reviews Eminem's Encore which was released late last week. And not kindly. Did critic, George Varga, even listen to the record? He missed all of the 'vulgar, hate spewing', and even claims that it's 'half hearted' and 'lyrically limp'.

First George, you failed to read the lable of the CD: "... and to my fans ... s o r r y ....", then you need to listen to the whole performance from beginning to end. Don't just try to paraphrase Kelefa Sanneh's (much cleverer) New York Times Review, published last Monday.

It was, in fact, a recommendation I took from the Times article ("this is an intensely word-centric album" - it is) that convinced me to buy it now, rather than download it from iTunes later. I've since listened to it 3 times front to back (although the last time, I skipped "Mosh" - it's too depressing.) In the words of Beetlejuice: "And it keeps getting better every time"!
