    Outkast, Snoop, Big, Kanye, Jay, Em, Dre, Cube, Tribe, have all blessed the culture with perfect albums in their hay day. Outkast, arguably has 2, Dre has produced several, and now add to that list his latest work with Shady.

    The album has heft, and feels heavy for modern culture to blast in 1 session. But inevitably when my attention is drawn elsewhere after 5 tracks, and i put it down, walking away feeling like Shady has been resurrected. Then, minutes, hours, or days later, when I come back to the album, and hit play again, I am transported to that same feeling.

    MTBMB is a literally the definition of a banger. Shady gives you so many different styles and transitions. Is it perfect, no. That's not why I am giving it 10 stars. I would have left 1 or 2 songs off the LP. But, is it a classic? **** YES. The double entendres, puns, imagery, storytelling, leap frog any album released in the past 10 years.

    Guess who's back...

    Eminem's album MTMB offers a weird trip for his fans as it takes us back to Marshal's beginnings and ingenuity with words but also provides a variety of "new school" beats and it all sounds perfect together. Em's new style is certainly original, and we cannot expect anything less from the artist. Em take a bow, you've once again made hip-hop history.

    It's got everything you're looking for in a top rap album. Great hooks, insane verses. If you haven't checked it out yet, you're missing out. On a lot. Musically-wise, I consider it to be his best album since Relapse. His style on MTBMB is a perfect mix of old-school and modern sounds, which is one of the reasons the album has such a high replay value I believe.

    You need to give this album time. Trust me when I say this, it grows on you. Songs like Darkness, in too deep, leaving heaven grow on you to an extent where you can't get it out of your head. There are very minimal skips if any (none for me personally).
    The album isn't one directional is one of the most technical work by Slim (not Eminem, Slim Shady)

    Violent, corny, goofy, genius and INSANE lyrics. Eminem displays his lyrical ability and his creativity that he's know for while murdering the modern day "mumble rap" beats. This is a slap in the face of today's rap culture that implies that rappers can't be lyrical in certain types of beats. Eminem murders every single line in a vicious and fast lyrical rampage. Great and really unexpected features. This is best album we've seen from Eminem since MMLP2, and he delivers it. Absolutely phenomenal and unexpected.
    The replay value of this album is a bit of a hit and miss, while I personally disliked a few songs, and already put a few others in my rap playlist, this is an album we'll be remembering for sure.
    Eminem shows us that he can indeed wake up Slim Shady and deliver a hell of an album if he feels like it.
    The complains are personal picks, I absolutely hate when he screams at the mic, he needs to stop doing that, his accents and voice changes are perfect, don't need to ruin that with screaming.
    He should also stop singing, a little bit of singing is fine but I've noticed this has been increasing since MMLP2 and it doesn't need to.
    He should also try and incorporate Slim Shady in a few classic beats and flows like he did in MMLP and The Eminem Show.
    Overall, this is a great album, it deserves the love, and sets Eminem in a really great path to achieve the perfect album again.

    Eminem tried harder and in this album he wanted to satisfy more rap listeners than a specific group. I loved it, album mood is too crazy and catching. Only thing most of people and critics complain about is that Em talked about Ariana Grande concert bombing but what they don’t know is Em alway loved to compare himself with the bombers also he was one of The first persons who helped toEminem tried harder and in this album he wanted to satisfy more rap listeners than a specific group.

    One of the best album by Eminem in a long time, it has many bangers and only few skips.

    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.
