    "Sorry" but this is a 10/10 . Eminem has gotten even better and is so good he makes it seem easy.

    Great approach to the modern Hip-Hop context with this one. I think Em can even do better but as long as he puts out works like this one, he will always have my money. Critics will always hate, especially nowadays that they have to push new black rappers and feed the stupid argument "em can't be the GOAT because he's white" but, nevermind, we already know what they say and what they areGreat approach to the modern Hip-Hop context with this one.

Back on the album, 9/10 for me, I think Em and Dre together can do even better and I mean that they could cancel every competitor if only they wanted, Discombobulated is the proof.… Expand

    All killer (pun unintended), no filler. I especially like Zeus, Book of Rhymes, Gnat and Killer.

    This is Eminem's worst album in my opinion. I enjoyed two to three songs off this project, and I don't really see the hype behind it, if I'm perfectly honest. It's lyrically uninspired and his rhymes are there just for the sake of rhyming. Eminem should have retired after releasing MMLP 2, which was the final great album by him.

    Painful. No matter how hard I try, I have not been able to squeeze an ounce of enjoyment out of this album. For me, this album is worse than revival. I got nothing out of this, it's like I just tuned the world out for an hour. The only redeeming quality was that the original music to be murdered by is also included, which is a decent album.

    These 2 albums are one of the best of Em’s and it shows how much he has grown technically and lyrically over the years. There is no match when it comes to skill.

    Quality bars and great beats. Have this on-repeat. My favorites are Alfred's Theme, Gnat, Killer, Tone Deaf, These Demons, and Book of Rhymes. Love the concept as well.

    There’s nothing much to say. Eminem is at the top of his game 20 years later. Banger after Banger, This album is a masterpiece. It’s a very fun first listen. Replay value is huge. One of his best deluxe albums.

    I don't care, this is his best album. He has me vibing with every chorus. His flows and lyricism are on point as always and he finally seems to genuinely just not give a **** once again. Go listen to it.

    Brilliantly produced, more laid-back Eminem stops his angry persona to give an album thats more or less made to please his fans, throwing back to his older albums, while still keeping his newer style in check

    I’m just reviewing this as the complete, deluxe album. Eminem proves that he still is the rap god with tracks like Godzilla where at the end he seems almost superhuman the way he’s rapping so fast without breathing. His lyrics are pretty clever and he has good rhymes, though sometimes his punchlines are a little corny. But if you can get past that, the album’s pretty enjoyable.

It feels a little like Eminem’s clinging onto relevancy for dear life at some moments like in the song “Gnat.” But that’s okay, it’s kinda interesting. Production for the album was adequate, some of it was handled by Eminem himself. The best tracks on the album are Godzilla, Darkness, Killer, and Zeus.… Expand

    The 2 discs form as a whole the best eminem work from the past 15 years
    The new side is better than Side A. Really enjoyed Alfreds theme, really ads to this whole Hitchcock suspense themed album. There is also another Shadys display of pure lyrical talent with tracks like tone deaf and book of rhymes. And once again, amazing production

    I'm sorry but this album is ass. There's only a handful of good songs and even then they become very repetitive. The production isn't exactly the issue on this album but rather Ems voice and lyricism. Eminem could easily make an amazing and explosive album because he his a top tier lyricist but instead he spits some corny ass bars on this project.

This made me chuckle during my first listen but holy **** it's so unfunny now that it actually hurts to listen to. And even the Key skit had me laughing my ass off during my first listen but it's so unfunny now. Em.... please make Relapse 2 or another BME album or just retire.. Your music is becoming unlistenable.… Expand

    Pretty underwhelming. Sure it’s a b side, but dang I got some revival vibes from this thing. Gnat is ok, but the gosh darn Covid bars are so cringe. There’s just a lot here that could work with better lyricism, especially on higher. Definitely a downgrade from music to be murdered by

    Grown on me so much. 7 cool songs and other average songs. He showed his fast-raping skills again on this project. Lyrics are very good. Rhyming perfect as always. Some certain fans of certain artists are judt pressed and delulu to call his new projects trash

    The album gets off to an inauspicious start with “Black Magic,” a dreary murder ballad with the requisite Skylar Grey hook and the same tired splatter-movie shock lines.

    Side B is a 16-track expansion that delivers familiar territory with some pops of Em at his sharpest.

    Side B is not a total miss though, nor even a miss at all. Once Mathers stumbles through this opening salvo and the awkward bits of “Tone Deaf”, the album settles into a comfortable space, and even becomes enjoyable.

    Over the three-song run of "Alfred's Theme" (which jacks Charles Gounod's "Funeral March of a Marionette," best known as the theme music to Alfred Hitchcock Presents, to delirious effect), "Tone Deaf," and "Book of Rhymes" (which climaxes with a flurry of DJ Premier scratches), Slim Shady stuffs more rewind-worthy punchlines and flow variations than most rappers will deliver in a whole career. ... Other attempts feel more forced. ... More compelling are the two tracks produced by D.A. Got That Dope.
