    Quite a comeback from Eminem on this one. His previous 2 albums were missing the spark that this one had, like many of his previous works also had. It needs to be encouraged. He needs to know he did something right this time.

    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

    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

    Strong output from one of the legends of the industry, in what i'd consider his best project in a decade. Good mix of flows, production, storytelling, silliness, and his unique ability to rhyme and scheme like no one else.

    I believe this album is amazing. Yes I love Eminem and I understand he's not everyone's cup of tea but I think no matter what you can't deny his lyrical ability. I know the Kanye stans and even the Kendrick fans came here to give Em a negative review just simply because this album had a high rating, but please don't let those empty reviews stop you from wanting to check the album out.I believe this album is amazing.

Don't let them take out of context lines to try to discredit his lyrical ability either. Eminem in this album brings us one the deepest and most layered songs I've heard in a long time. it's up their with Stan and Bad Guy. Nothing will ever match Stan don't get me wrong, but it's amazing. Throughout the album we have Eminem rapping over some very nice beats and the album is full with amazing features from Young MA, to Juice WRLD, to Royce and so on. Personally my favorites our Darkness and leaving Heaven. In leaving heaven Eminem speaks on his father, who just passed away last year. You can just feel the emotion through Em's lyrics. The only song I really dislike on this album is the one with Ed Sheeran but other than that there's something for everyone.… Expand

    Great way to start off the decade for Marshall. The production on this project is a HUGE step up from his previous 4 albums especially on songs like Lock it Up, Little Engine, Marsh, Farewell & I Will. The features as well are PHENOMENAL on this album such as Anderson .Paak, Black Thought, Don Toliver, Royce Da 5'9" (not new but he really shined on all 3 verses), etc. As for the mainGreat way to start off the decade for Marshall.

The features as well are PHENOMENAL on this album such as Anderson .Paak, Black Thought, Don Toliver, Royce Da 5'9" (not new but he really shined on all 3 verses), etc. As for the main attraction (Eminem) he performs well but not flawless . His flows range from speed, mellow to complex/unique and are overall solid. The content isn't all new but it's hard to blame him since he's been in the game for more than 20 years and everyone only has so much stories to tell. He does keep it fresh on some tracks like Darkness where he raps from the perspective of the Las Vegas shooter that is also a double entendre from Em' POV on how he use to take an unhealthy amount of substance before a show. tracks like these always take it to the next level when they're made by Em. His pen game is once again great with clever bars and complex rhyme schemes which isn't new from Em but never gets old. One tiny Critique i have is the concept of the album. It's supposed to be some sort of murder rendition with inspiration from Alfred Hitchcock but most songs don't fit it. First couple of tracks do with him once again firing back at critics and some song throughout the project have a dark vibe but some don't fit in at all. The dysfunctional relationship songs for example seem filler and seems like the only purpose they have is to give the listener a breath of fresh air to take a break from the aggressive and intense cuts on the project. They aren't terrible but they don't need to be there. His chorus game has improved majorly but he also has some that aren't so great. I Will is my personal favorite from the whole project while Em gives us some of his best singing vocals since the Eminem Show era. My favorite hooks from Eminem on this album are; Unaccommodating, Darkness, Little Engine, Farewell & I Will.
    I love the energy in this album, he finally sounds motivated and comfortable. On his previous two albums he sounded sort of lost and confused at to what his fans wanted to hear but I feel like he just made what he wanted to make and in the end he sounds the best when he goes in that direction.
    My Favorite Tracks are: Unaccommodating, You Gon' Learn, Godzilla, Darkness, Little Engine, Lock it up, No Regrets & I Will
    My Least Favorite tracks are: In Too Deep & Stepdad

    Vintage and rejuvenated Eminem with Sharp storytelling, vicious rage and crisp production and vocals. Features ain't too shabby either! 10/10 best release since Relapse!!

    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.
