    Better beats and better hooks. There is only thing it`s worse than SIDE A and that`s music guests and even they are not bad here. I mean Dre? Cmon! He is getting better and better since Revival!

    Side B of music to be murdered by got no skips, from Alfred intro all the way to discombobulated. This is a top notch project that is slightly better than side A. I give it a solid 10.

    All these critics that review artists like Eminem are usually not fans of real lyricism the way he displays it for the world to see/hear! Eminem is true hip hop!

    Dope album! Different sounds that side A. I think it's a bit darker, but without doing a full on review with would be too long for this site, I'll just say that lyrically it's fire. Being a lyrical savant it's, it's almost like this is just too easy for him now. He simply puts other MC's to shame with the lyrical prowess he has. Give each song a good listen to. Again, LISTEN to each song;Dope album! Different sounds that side A.

    Another great album

    Eminem has been proving that he is one of the GOATs if not the GOAT

    A lot of interesting stuff in this.
    I love how he played around with surround sound in 'Killer'. That was quite notable and surprising

    Album feels polished and the elements all fit well together. Feels like the next one could be flawless If he builds off this. He was having fun here. As a whole, MTBMB is up there with his best albums as a whole.

    Lone sniper, I hold a microphone like a loaded rifle
    My dome's brighter, all I spit from my skull's fire
    All that's missing's a motorcycle with the chrome wires, spoke tires
    And y'all are flow biters, so I don't gotta

    Excellent album. Eminem you will never read this message but thanks again for coming out with such incredible music. Book of Rhymes is incredible.

    Fits perfectly to complete the whole album I suppose. Really liked the different vibes of songs such and “GNAT” or “Discombobulated” and “Zeus”. It was something I can listen to multiple times in a row and don’t feel them to be repetitive.

    His best since kamikaze period.Emimems longevity is insane and I bet he's gonna be doing it even in his 50s

    it's better the the first one with more enjoyable and memorable songs in it compared to the one he dropped earlier this year

    Wayyy better than anything he dropped the last 6 years, imo on the same level as mmlp 2 or relapse

    Side B proves that Eminem’s side A was just a warm up. Cleverly written, brutal, and often hilarious, MTBMB sd B is his best work since Recovery.

    I don't care, this is his best album. He has me vibing with every chorus. His flows and lyricism are on point as always and he finally seems to genuinely just not give a **** once again. Go listen to it.

    Eminem at the top of his game. Some might say that the early 2000's were Eminem's prime. I say he is in his prime now

    Side B is a 16-track expansion that delivers familiar territory with some pops of Em at his sharpest.

    Side B is not a total miss though, nor even a miss at all. Once Mathers stumbles through this opening salvo and the awkward bits of “Tone Deaf”, the album settles into a comfortable space, and even becomes enjoyable.

    Over the three-song run of "Alfred's Theme" (which jacks Charles Gounod's "Funeral March of a Marionette," best known as the theme music to Alfred Hitchcock Presents, to delirious effect), "Tone Deaf," and "Book of Rhymes" (which climaxes with a flurry of DJ Premier scratches), Slim Shady stuffs more rewind-worthy punchlines and flow variations than most rappers will deliver in a whole career. ... Other attempts feel more forced. ... More compelling are the two tracks produced by D.A. Got That Dope.
