    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.

    It's ok, not as bad as his previous last 2 records but no where near as good as his 2 best records.

    Masterpiece!!! since slim shady LP he's been killing it. Never disappointed with eminem's works. Tbh revival was so damn good, Kamikaze and MTBMB are gems.

    As Eminem’s career goes forward he keeps trying to prove us something. He doesn’t need to do that he’s just messing up his discography

    The user score is disproportionate to how good the actual album is. It's not very good, with a couple of good songs mixed in

    Eminem’s newest album is a complete failure in all means. It is a constant negative trend in the hip hop community to spread hate to said ‘mumble rappers’ and Eminem thrives off this message instead of promoting upcoming artists. The message in this album is unclear and seems as if Eminem is drifting further away from what is considered his peak performance

    Absolutely terrible album. Whilst I like the MMLP and the SSLP, Eminem has fallen off hard. his reliance on shock has waded off into the minimum of irrelevancy and the maximum of making fun of terrorist attacks. His flows do not match with the terrible beats that accompany the melodies. Just because he raps fast doesn't mean he's good at rapping, sub-par lyrics do not make it up for theAbsolutely terrible album.

I swear that these people never understood the consequences of following a person blindly with absolutely no criticisms as seen in 'Stan'. Eminem himself makes fun of people for having no skill, yet his music becomes a washed up pair whenever he does release anything. Expand

    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.

    Music to Be Murdered By is easily one of Eminem's best albums. It takes you on not only a lyrical journey but an emotional one too. Crammed with double entendres, catchy hooks and his unrivalled flow, MTBMB is what a lot of fans say "I have been waiting for this album since MMLP2!".

    Just retire please. Lines were crossed in this album particularly regarding lyrics about the Ariana grande concert terrorist attacks.

    Eminem should stay in 2008, his fans are the worst, he is dead, but they are too scared to admit it.

    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.
