    Huge amount of respect to Marshall for turning his life around because we could have lost him years ago. While not everyone can relate to his music, I think this album is a culmination of the past few years where he's been regaining his footing. Technically he is impressive as ever.

Sometimes the fast rapping can throw me off but take time to listen closely and it is incredible how his cadence and flow switches. Our brains literally cannot keep up with him and that is probably the reason why some people don't mess with Em. Favorite tracks: Premonition, Lock It Up, Darkness, You Gon' Learn, No Regrets. I give this a 9 out of 10.… Expand

    Probably the best Eminem album since The Eminem Show. Some slippings in the hooks, but a focused projesct, with amazing flows, great collaborations and wordplay level as sharp as ever.

    Just because he rapped about controversial issues should not deny the fact that this album is a lyrical masterpiece. I didn't understand completely, whom his anger was directed to.... but man, I won't want to be on the receiving end. There's hip hop, then there's Eminem. I mean i am still getting over the sick bars in this album..... Damn son!!!

    You need to listen and listen for real, even go and read out all the bars he's dropping, else almost everything will go over your head. Em is not about the beat (only), its about the message and hidden things he has to say to the audience! God, King, GOAT even these adjectives feel not enough to describe how genius he is! Simply unique. Leave them "journalists" searching for clout andYou need to listen and listen for real, even go and read out all the bars he's dropping, else almost everything will go over your head.

Simply unique. Leave them "journalists" searching for clout and dissing his entire album because of one line, made to bring attention to violence. Apparently it is okay when Ariana defends her ex boyfriend Pete for making a JOKE about it saying "Britney Spears didn't have a terrorist attack at her concert." implying Ariana is more famous because of that. But OH boy, it's a hell storm when Em references it. Get over yourselves and your double standards.

    It’s a great album with a variety of songs. It’s a return to form for Eminem as a lyricist. This album gave me some vibes of earlier works like The Eminem Show. Great album. Great songs. Don’t take my word for it though. Listen to the album and see what you think.

    Em once again shows that age is just a number. Still the best rapper. The album is great with great beat and production, thanks to Dr.Dre and great collab with Skylar Grey and Royce da 5'9

    Eminem chose way better beats this time.
    As far as lyrics it was a clinic. Lyrical wizardry.
    Most of the hooks were dope too.
    Darkness is the most serious one that addresses an important subject that somehow from what i read people still found something to **** about.
    Whether you like it or not this **** with guns needs to be dealt for real.
    Anyway it was a bar fest.

    i will never understand a "critics" review, not only are they being biased but every time the majority of the public likes something the "critics" review is so far off from the public's and this isn't just being represented in music but in movies and video games alike. How can the same reviewer give Revival a higher score than Kamikaze? This goes for a handful of other "critics", particularly a "critic" giving Revival 80 but Music To Be Murdered By a 40. This just proves how out of touch and easily offended these people are, trying to force Eminem and other artists that are not only in music to be politically correct and its making entertainment for the culture booorrring. "The album opens with a woman being murdered, referring to the album’s title and foreshadowing its theme. Who’s committing this act…? Eminem is talking to his alter ego, as he digs Slim Shady up, letting him out of his grave." -Genius annotation user: Toonamiguy
    This album is filled with lines that you just run in your head over and over for so long like it just hooks you in and you'll rewind just to hear it again. That is Slim Shady for you. Sick beats, excellent production especially the 4 tracks Dr. Dre helped produce, tasteful features and a lyrical masterpiece. Eminem has topped the already successful Kamikaze with Music To Be Murdered By!    … Expand

    This is album absolute unfair in the Rap Game. It's Insane and I can't believe how Good Eminem is. However, because of a fan base, they try to make this bad... Anyway, It's an amazing album by Eminem. I just want to say that fan base that Eminem raised around 2€ Million for the victims and what you did? don't skip music just because you get offended easily.

    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.
