    This is on par with mmlp 2 and is better than anything hes put out since then. Shady really came back on this album aside from a few corny bars and mediocre choruses. I would rate this a solid 9.8.

    Eminem just puts emphasis on Lyric over Beet's as always
    This is what rap is all about❤

    Hands down some of the greatest work of Em and his team I’ve ever heard. From start to finish this album captures you and you do not want to put your headphones down. Very impressive. Eminem wanted us to know that he’s still the greatest and we got the message.

    AN INcredible album. It hss no true bad tracks, and has an amazing array of features. Eminems tongue twisting flows and rhyme schemes, along with bars that make you wonder how he thinks of so many things! Few artists have ever been both this influential and this. damn. good. A huge step up from his last couple albums, and arguably his best since 2009s Relapse, or 2013s MMLP2.

    After disliking Revival massively and not really digging Kamikaze I was not feeling very promising about this. Being an on and off Eminem fan I had to at least give my judgement.

    Fair to say I actually really like it and think he has done a great job! People just seem to hate on him nowadays for the sake of it but oh well.

    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.
  2. 70
    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.
