    Em keep improving himself as the time passes. This album sounds fresh and innovative even if Eminem is not young anymore. Eminem showed to the world that he can stay current and at the same time be Eminem without copying anyone. Absolutely fantastic 10

    Thematically veered always from what it was doing. Removing a few songs makes the album seem more cohesive. Raps are good, beats are good, features are good, subject matter is good. The only other complaint is that sometimes punchlines undercut the story or message.

    Album isn't what TES, MMLP, or SSLP were but this album is HEAT. Easily in his top 5. I'd put this album #4 ahead of Kamikaze #5. Delivery, schemes, bars, beats, and change of tempos, GOAT solidified

Throughout songs like you gon learn, Godzilla, yah yah, marsh, and I will; Em show cases his lyrically skill at its best. While on those kinda nights he reminisces back to his party days. He makes a banger with anderson.paak called Lock it up, which I took as Eminem saying that the haters almost got him but then he just locked it up before he could lose it. Expand

    The hook on I Will is straight old school hard hitting eminem. The bars following absolutely demolish the beat. All though his voice I find a little annoying- his flow is incredible. Yah yah, Godzilla, never love again, premonition, all hit hard and go for broke. I will forever miss “the re up” era Eminem, but this is a good replacement. Thanks shady!

    Tbh, it would be better rated if he cut some songs and retired the whole "I hate my parents" motif. I think compared to his other recent projects its better but as an album standalone its very average.

    I don't understand why critics still try to discredit eminem. This album (and Kamikaze and every feature he's done between then) proves that eminem is still one of the best if not the best rapper right now. The line that best sums up the album is when he says "if I was half as good as I was I'm still twice as good as you'll ever be". Music To Be Murdered By might not be as good as MMLPI don't understand why critics still try to discredit eminem.

The line that best sums up the album is when he says "if I was half as good as I was I'm still twice as good as you'll ever be". Music To Be Murdered By might not be as good as MMLP of TES but that's just not a fair comparison as those two albums are considered to be some of greatest albums of all time. MTBMB is a banger. Godzilla is the best rap song by any artist I've heard in years, Darkness is a really well told story, All three songs with Royce are fantastic. The features are all utilized amazingly. I even loved the Ed Sheeran song. The beats and hooks are unbelievably good which is ironic because detractors have always criticized eminem for his use of beats and hooks but if you listen to the hooks on I Will, Godzilla, Those KInda Nights, No Regrets, or frankly any song you'll find that critics claims are BS. The beats are crazy too. DA Got That Dope produced three songs and all three have great beats. Expand

    Eminem's flow is still one of the bests, but he also is not afraid to show some emotion on this album. Also, Eminem's songs, "Darkness" and "Godzilla," are masterpieces, and it would be an injustice to not give them a listen.

    Some of the best work from Eminem in recent years. This has a different sound compared to Revival and Kamikaze, which is a good thing. The sound of the album sounds unique, which is something most rappers these days can’t do with their mumble rap and auto tune. Eminem is like wine, he gets better with time.

    He has a new sound and I wouldnt want him to sound and rap like his OG days

    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.
  2. 70
    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.
