    This album captures the classic slim shady flow and might be the best album since Relapse. He brings so many different flows and rhyme schemes and switches that a grabs your attention and really makes you focus and listen to what he is saying.

    I was going to rate this album a 8. Then I saw a wave of 0/10 for no reason except the same **** when it comes to Eminem : he is old, need to retire, corny, fast rapping, controversial This album is 20 tracks long, I can’t believe this is all you found. There is a lot of things between trash and perfect. Eminem is the most loved ans hated rapper of all time, but it shows how impactfull he is.

    Shady is back. Unforgiving, unapologetic, and real. 2020 will show a lack of intolerance for some, but the fact that he’s reigniting the gun-reform conversation, and it didn’t take ANOTHER mass shooting, is a victory in itself. Let alone a fire album, tracks 1-20.

    Love him or hate him,support him or criticize him,listen to his music or pretend it doesn't exist,one thing is an undeniable fact: There is simply no other artist in the rap game and not only,that manages to still rock the brains out of everyone with his pure genius skill to spit raps and ability of storytelling quite as Eminem,making everything he says meaningful.If you can follow that is :D
    "Music to be murdered by" could easily be the name of his entire career and likewise all sorts of expectations,feelings and tastes will be "attacked" in different ways.
    But imma tell you one thing: I have never thought imma be so happy getting murdered and if we are totally honest..so would you!

    Outkast, Snoop, Big, Kanye, Jay, Em, Dre, Cube, Tribe, have all blessed the culture with perfect albums in their hay day. Outkast, arguably has 2, Dre has produced several, and now add to that list his latest work with Shady.

    The album has heft, and feels heavy for modern culture to blast in 1 session. But inevitably when my attention is drawn elsewhere after 5 tracks, and i put it down, walking away feeling like Shady has been resurrected. Then, minutes, hours, or days later, when I come back to the album, and hit play again, I am transported to that same feeling.

    MTBMB is a literally the definition of a banger. Shady gives you so many different styles and transitions. Is it perfect, no. That's not why I am giving it 10 stars. I would have left 1 or 2 songs off the LP. But, is it a classic? **** YES. The double entendres, puns, imagery, storytelling, leap frog any album released in the past 10 years.

    Shady responda to the haters that say you never hear him played in a club with an entire album of some of the hardest beats that sounds like what the youth of this generation listen to in terms of hip hop. Add that to his elite lyricism full of similes , metaphors, homonyms , double and triple entendres ,and you have one of his beat albums to date.

    An awesome album by Eminem at the beginning of the new decade. This album is well produced, lyrically amazing, great features and proves that eminem's wordplay is insane. Hooks in the album are definitely much much better than eminem's last 2 albums.

    I really want to know who these album reviewers are who just **** on a great album like this to be honest. what more can a man do? are you asking him to start mumbling??

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's not about fans or haters reviews. Ofc his fans rate him a 9-10 and haters rate very low even if the album is great.
    His best work since Encore, plus keeping in mind that this album has been done within 1 year. If you know how much it takes to complete an album, you'll realise the motive of my comment.
    I want to just comment that, at this age, with almost 23 years of his career, he still has rhymes and lyrics that are insanely genius.
    We can talk about bad bars or lines, but besides that, this album has gotten a high level of lyricism in it, plus the production is so good you would want to come back and listen it for 1 more time everytime it's finished.    … Expand

    Wow, really unexpected features, beats. After Kamikaze, I was expecting more collabs with TayKeith, RonnyJ and Boi-1da cause those songs was dope, but instead he went with his old pals. And Im glad he did it. Amazing album, this is what Revival should've been sound like

    Another masterpiece he totally sounds a wee less angry on this one (which kinda mad me sad cause i love angry em) tracks are shorter also which is a nice thing cause you wouldn't Get bored, i also like mature em become since MMLP and TMS now he's focusing on relevant issues concerning his country, he also heated down the beefs

    MTBMB is one of his best albums ever.

    For real, this album is already a classic for me. The Eminem we see today is the best version of him in his career. He's the same Slim Shady from 1997 but grown up and sober, and even better lyrically. This album almost has no bad songs. It's somehow the mix of best of Revival and best of Kamikaze which makes it a masterpiece.

    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.
