Encore is the fifth studio album by American rapper Eminem. It was released on November 12, 2004, by Aftermath Entertainment, Shady Records, and Interscope Records. Its release date was originally set for November 17, 2004, but Eminem moved the release date to five days earlier after the album was leaked to the internet. As reflected on the album cover— Eminem taking a bow—the album was widely considered to be Eminem's final album of new material. The album contains several lyrical themes, most notably Eminem's opposition to then-President of the United States George W. Bush and a parody of Michael Jackson. Read more on Last.fm.
