    this album sucks why does he still make music the entire album feels like he’s trying to fit in more with the generation he complains about and godzilla might be the worst song ever made

    This album is straight up garbage. Eminem tried so hard to be edgy but it wasn't funny or offensive just awkward

    He just sounds like a bitter old man as usual in quite a few spots of the album. The best song on the album "You gon Learn" belonged to Royce. A number of corny lines, just did not enjoy this album at all.

    This is not even Eminem's best work, and people claim it's the best hiphop work so far. Eminem is just trying to make a living of stale dad-rapping. There are couple of good bars here and there, but overall both the production and the flows lack creativity. Political lyrics also don't help when they're nonsense, either.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. His worst album on far, and who'd have thought anyone could make an album worse than revival and kamakazi! Eminem acts like he's still 21 starting beef with people and hating the system or whatever, yet he's a middle aged man who's no longer relevant. He should take a leaf out of JAY-Zs book, who has matured as any artist should, and created 4:44, an album 100x better than anything Eminem has made. Though nothing is as bad as his wall punching, monster drinking, 'I tell my mom to F off' fan base, who leave bad reviews on the greatest albums of all time, such as MBDTF because they can't admit Eminem is washed up. The fact on one album he's dissing modern rap and 'mumble' rappers, then works with these new young artists, such as Juice WRLD (R.I.P gone too soon) shows how hell do anything for streams. Expand

    He clearly cares about his output, but “Music To Be Murdered By” is, unfortunately, another mixed bag of tricks, propped up by lyrical acrobatics and underwhelming production.

    If they look hard enough, any artist could find criticism of their work online. That’s sort of the curse of the Information Age. But not everyone overreacts quite as much as Eminem does. But if his fears grow tiring, his lyrical ability can still give you something to admire, even if the album is somewhat uneven.

    It is not, strictly speaking, a good record—Eminem hasn’t made one of those in a decade—but it boasts enough technical command and generates just enough arresting ideas to hold your attention.
