    Slim Shady is back!! Amazing features, not a lot of fillers straight to the point. Production is also on point.

    I think this album is probably one of his best all time after the classic three. It’s way up there, and deserves a lot of praise. Even the songs that aren’t as good are still pretty good listens. The production is consistently excellent and Darkness might be New Em‘s Stan.
    EDITED: After a couple of listens, this is one of his best.

    It's Eminem's best album since Recovery. Good music production & some banger tracks make this album great.

    Lyrically insane. The features and hooks and verses are brilliant. Music to Be Murdered By offers one virtuoso performance after another: delivery that’s both warp-speed and perfectly enunciated, constant shifts in tempo and emphasis.

    Music to Be Murdered By is Eminem's best album since The Marshall Mathers LP 2. The album is very consistent, great beats and great lyrics.

    One of the greatest album of all time. And the best album of 2020. Only Eminem can release a better album than this. Album is filled with masterpieces.

    Instant classic for me. Shady is back and there isn't a single weak link in this album. There are a bunch of banger tracks like Little Engine, Godzilla and Those Kinda Nights and pure Shady tracks like Stepdad and the controversial Unaccommodating. He also sets a new personal record for speed on Godzilla. This album has some surprising rap features.

    Eminem's best album since his prime. With the relapse albums accent, recoveries Poppy production, mmlp 2s dad jokes/classic rock production, and revivals Poppy unstructured production. There has been allot too be disappointed with in Eminem's latest albums I feel as I've even though well never see the Eminem from mmlp and the Eminem show again this may be the closest we have gotten so far.

    For a 20 track album it’s really great and it has a really good replay value unlike the last 2 albums.

    Best Album from Eminem since Relapse, the beats are fire and the raps are just from another world. I believe he is a martian.

    Better than revival, eminem has a posthumous juice wrld feature which means so much because juice was a lifetime eminem fan.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Melhor álbum desde "The Eminem Show". Incrível a capacidade do Eminem de fazer rimas muitissilábicas, duplo e triplo sentidos numa rima só. Além dos variados flows, ótimos Beats e participações. Masterpiece! Thanks Marshall.… Expand

    It is one of his better albums. I really enjoyed it. It reminded me of the old Em but also show how times are changing with him teaming up with younger artists.

    Each song has an aspect of the old Eminem that made him a huge star back when he first came into the scene. I would highly recommend his album to anyone

    This album is a solid 7/10. Definitely a return to form for Eminem, and his best album since MMLP2. Not perfect, but I hope this is the start of an upswing for Em. Great production and features, but some songs are held back by iffy lines and dull production.

    This album is an absolute masterpiece, let alone for someone with a career that’s been as successful as Eminem.

    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.
