    The laziness that is shown and the reviews from fans show how this man can make an hour long album with him saying different diseases,the only song I can stand is Godzilla,but like Anthony fantano says"NOT Good." It's hilarious that there are zero negative reviews

    Another preachy self righteous half assed release by one of raps greatest m.c's. What has happened to him that he thinks it's okay to categorically disappoint so fluently. His features are the only reason this album is somehow bearable.

    Whenever Eminem does not have a specific topic to talk about, He starts to diss everybody to get the spotlight.
    Someone has to remind him that music needs rhythm.

    he's a grown ass man who is still trying to act like an edgy teen. mentioning the manchester bombing for the sole reason of introducing shock value feels like a cheap and desperate move of someone who's trying to maintain the 'savage' he's built over the years. his lyrics are getting worse and worse, this album they reach an absolute low of them being corny.

    Another trash album from a used to be great rapper. From 3 dope albums to open and now just ok and scattered songs/albums from him now. His stand make it worse because they know it's not good but when you got 90% of white fans defending his old ways and repetitive rap patterns. This is the result you get.

    Eminem tries very hard here to maintain the edgy appeal he carried ten years back. A majority of this album as a result of this sounds corny and terribly immature.

All of the tracks achieve very little as far as instrumentation or lyricism goes and Darkness was the only exception that genuinely tried to do something.

    Way overrated, Eminem was good in 2002 because he knew pretty much nothing, but now he looks like an old infant, I mean he should just retire and left behind that legacy that he had but he’s just **** up his own image with this kind of albums, I don’t know why he is so attached to his 2000 persona he should let it go by now and just accept who he is right now.

    This album is odd. To him complaining about haters, him being political and then him saying "bombs away like I'm outside an Ariana concert". This album could've been better if eminem tried. The man is close to 50 years old trying to fit in with the younger generations, it's not working.
    Out of all the songs, I liked one.

    It got a 48/190 from me or a 25%.

    Felt like Eminem was trying to be overly edgy on this album. This does not necessarily make the album bad but gives off a very immature vibe and truly highlights just how stuck he is in the current generation of rap. He simply cannot seem to acclimate to rap nowadays. He just needs to grow up, cut his losses and retire now, like he should’ve ten years ago.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. His worst album on far, and who'd have thought anyone could make an album worse than revival and kamakazi! Eminem acts like he's still 21 starting beef with people and hating the system or whatever, yet he's a middle aged man who's no longer relevant. He should take a leaf out of JAY-Zs book, who has matured as any artist should, and created 4:44, an album 100x better than anything Eminem has made. Though nothing is as bad as his wall punching, monster drinking, 'I tell my mom to F off' fan base, who leave bad reviews on the greatest albums of all time, such as MBDTF because they can't admit Eminem is washed up. The fact on one album he's dissing modern rap and 'mumble' rappers, then works with these new young artists, such as Juice WRLD (R.I.P gone too soon) shows how hell do anything for streams. Expand

    1 for some of the beats and Royce. The album is a straight up cringe fest and Eminem continues to have no discernable identity outside of being angry.

    Eminem once again proves that he should have hung his hat albums ago. Impressive features and a nice throwback theme, however the album doesn't have it's true intro until track 4, leaving 1-3 in a weird limbo state. While his speed-rapping is at it's all time best on the track Godzilla, the lyrics don't have the same shock value that they used to.

    In Conclusion: Will the Real Slim Shady

    Rapping Fast does not make a good album or song. Eminem Clearly out of his rapping prime shown by corny lyrics and boring songs. definitely one of if not the worst album of this year. and its January.

    This **** is trash. I do not understand why Eminem feels the need to rap fast to be a good rapper. He didn't do that on the slim shady LP, and he's been doing it since the Marshall mathers LP 2. It gets **** old. He obviously isn't over revival's reception even though that was also trash. This isn't really worth listening to. One word to describe this **** is simply "yikes."

    Not good. Eminem hasn't had a good project since the turn of the century. Unfortunately for the music community, he's easily got the most dickrider fans in the industry. Strong 0.

    As always, Em's rhyme scheme's and wordplay are on point. However a lot of the songs are killed by his angry bitter vibe that emanates throughout the whole album. He will always have the best numbers, thanks in part to him exploiting tragedies for punchlines, and namedropping 100+ people, and stans willing to defend him no matter what. We all know em is a brilliant attention seeker, butAs always, Em's rhyme scheme's and wordplay are on point.

We all know em is a brilliant attention seeker, but this formula is getting pretty old. He can spit bars like nobodies business, but this just isn't very compelling music. There are a few bright spots, a few songs I really enjoy. But there are far too many skips on this album to consider it a classic. Love the bars, just wish he would switch up the material. Anger and bitterness is not a good vibe. He can do better. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album literally **** sucks. The production is either really bland or really annoying. The lyrics are corny and stupid and its just so **** ANNOYING when he keeps complaining about Revival! Name dropping people (again) and his lyrics almost entirely rely on shock factor. A disgrace of an album Expand

    though a departure from the lack luster sound of his previous few albums, Marshall Mathers still fails to reclaim the glory of his early sound. with lackluster production, forced staccato flows, and lyricism that at times boarders on cringe at times, Music to be Murdered By is nothing special

    Extremely annoying to listen to. Eminem’s extremely corny lines and fast-flows-that-aren’t-cool-anymore ruin the album. Juice WRLD and Anderson.paak were the best parts of 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.
