    His best album, instant classic. This has no skips, great replay value and even the worst songs still are good songs, incredible album, i didn't expect him to overcome any of his classics, but he did it. This man is a pure genius and he gets better with time, this album is evolution at its best.

    Eminem with this album is just toying around the hip hop world. Trying everything all at once. He has evolved into a lyric machine who can switch flow to match any beat on this planet. Also in this album he turned to a little modern hip hop by adding catchy hooks and flow that keep the new kids stuck to it. So 10/10

    Best Eminem album in years. Every track is a banger and the features (except Young M.A.) are great! Darkness has a huge meaning and is one of the best story telling songs Eminem has ever done (up there with Stan, Bad Guy, Arose, etc.)! Godzilla is very catchy and is the albums most popular song.

    Album is very good and has a mix of stuff for everyone to like. Slim shady is back and making people mad again which is great.

    This album is an absolute masterpiece, let alone for someone with a career that’s been as successful as Eminem.

    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.
