    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Eminem went a long way from Revival(I dont hate it, some song I liked, other not so much), through Kamikaze which was very strong but a little bit raw album up to this jewel!
    What hit me the most? BEATS. In my opinion from Revival to MUSIC TO BE MURDERED BY theres 10-15 step when it comes to beats and the sounds overall. It sounds, modern, energetic and HIP HOP.
    Songs like Premonition, Godzilla, Unaccommodating or You Gon' Learn sound amazing and the other ones are pretty good to. What I really like is that Eminem sounds like He had a lot of fun making this album. Theres a lot of funny ad-libs and jokes, which i missed in last Eminem's albums.
    Lirycs... It's Eminem! Top tier bars, clever doubles(Darkness is sick!) and a ton of punchlines. Great stuff. Absolutely briliant.
    There's also few disses, powerfull but not as angry as on Kamikaze.
    Hooks? Pretty good. Some landed hard(Godzilla, I Will, Darkness), some are good and 1-2 I wasn't biggest fan.
    Features? AMAZING. Royce, Crook(his verse was nuts!), Joel, BT, Young Ma... I also liked Skylar Grey on the hook(powerful stuff!)
    The whole theme of the album is great, especially for Alfred Hitchcock's fans. It has its own style.    … Expand

    As the best-selling artist of both the 2000s AND 2010s decades, I can only really judge Eminem’s work in relation to the remainder of his discography, given how superior he is to every other presently trendy rapper (eg Drake; trying to compare the quality between a rap god and a mumble mouth is frankly impossible; ditto Kanye and his chik fil a lyrics).

    Is it as good as MMLP or the Eminem Show? No, but no rap album is. “Darkness” is haunting. “Godzilla” is, well, nearly superhuman given Eminem broke his own Guinness world record for faster rapper ever (ie, “Rap God,”) with this track. Given his lyrical genius, his music speaks for itself. Give it a listen; you won’t regret it.    … Expand

Difference is based on modern, classic hip-hop and Slim Shady sound, so off course that it can't be breathtaking for everybody. For all '00s rap lovers half of songs are insanely good, on the other hand, there is No Regrets which has some modern vibe.

    Eminem makes a significant return to form on “Music To Be Murdered By”. On this LP, he delivers excellent flows alongside equally (mostly) potent lyrics + great production. Some tracks I would’ve gone without are Stepfather (the beat is quite horrendous), Farewell, Those Kinda Nights, and Marsh. Otherwise, this album is quite good.

    The production on this album is better than anything post relapse. The features are also pretty good and used well in most cases. The album has some of the best songs hes put out in a decade and sounds refreshing and modern. From a 47 year old rapper on his 11th album, you can't ask for more.

    Another surprise album that is amazing. Darkness was too real and the music video hit really, really hard. It has an amazing message. Don't let the haters get you down Em, you keep doing you. Another amazing platinum album.

    This is the album we never knew we wanted from Em. In so many ways it feels like classic, old school Em - but fused with all the best parts of his new sound. His flows and cadence are the smoothest they've sounded start to finish since TES. The production is outstanding and his best since Relapse. To me, it feels like his version of Dre's 2001.

I certainly didn't think he still had it in him after Revival (which was trash save for a few songs), but man you can vibe to every track on this. It is more than just Em in his finest form, it's pure hip-hop. 10/10 and his 4th best album just behind his classic trilogy.… Expand

    This album captures the classic slim shady flow and might be the best album since Relapse. He brings so many different flows and rhyme schemes and switches that a grabs your attention and really makes you focus and listen to what he is saying.

    Shady is back. Unforgiving, unapologetic, and real. 2020 will show a lack of intolerance for some, but the fact that he’s reigniting the gun-reform conversation, and it didn’t take ANOTHER mass shooting, is a victory in itself. Let alone a fire album, tracks 1-20.

    O melhor album do Eminem talvez desde 2010 ou 2002, com participações de grandes artistas como Anderson .Paak/Royce Da 5'9, Eminem novamente trazendo uma lírica e flow de outro mundo, muita gente reclamou do seu verso relacionado a explosão que aconteceu no show da Ariana Grande, mas essas mesmas pessoas não ouviram a musica completa e nem mesmo se esforçaram em entender o seu significadoO melhor album do Eminem talvez desde 2010 ou 2002, com participações de grandes artistas como Anderson .Paak/Royce Da 5'9, Eminem novamente trazendo uma lírica e flow de outro mundo, muita gente reclamou do seu verso relacionado a explosão que aconteceu no show da Ariana Grande, mas essas mesmas pessoas não ouviram a musica completa e nem mesmo se esforçaram em entender o seu significado completo, só pegaram o verso solto e saíram espalhando mentiras pela internet, além de que vale lembrar que na ocasião do ataque terrorista, o rapper fez uma ação com seus fãs para doações às vítimas de Manchester (local onde ocorreu a explosão). O levantamento de fundos chegou a US$ 2 milhões... Então pesquise antes de falar alguma coisa tá ????… Expand

    Eminem’s best album since the 00s. From front to back this is a true definition of a hip hop album. Hopefully it inspires the current generation to focus on lyrics and punchlines more.

It also has some great fun tracks to simply enjoy. I strongly suggest you all download it, fans will be proud and non-fans will become fans!!… Expand

    This is definitely best Eminem album since Revival in my opinion. Production was great, Good and unusual beats for Eminem. Interesting features sadly we couldn’t here Juice Wrld verse on Godzilla but hook was great, Overall this album sounds different like every Eminem album that’s what I like about him. Amazing work Shady!

    This is Eminem's best album since 2002. It's heartbreaking while also having the ability to make your head spin with acrobatic lyricsm.

    Love him or hate him,support him or criticize him,listen to his music or pretend it doesn't exist,one thing is an undeniable fact: There is simply no other artist in the rap game and not only,that manages to still rock the brains out of everyone with his pure genius skill to spit raps and ability of storytelling quite as Eminem,making everything he says meaningful.If you can follow that is :D
    "Music to be murdered by" could easily be the name of his entire career and likewise all sorts of expectations,feelings and tastes will be "attacked" in different ways.
    But imma tell you one thing: I have never thought imma be so happy getting murdered and if we are totally honest..so would you!

    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.
