Sometimes the fast rapping can throw me off but take time to listen closely and it is incredible how his cadence and flow switches. Our brains literally cannot keep up with him and that is probably the reason why some people don't mess with Em. Favorite tracks: Premonition, Lock It Up, Darkness, You Gon' Learn, No Regrets.

    Probably the best Eminem album since The Eminem Show. Some slippings in the hooks, but a focused projesct, with amazing flows, great collaborations and wordplay level as sharp as ever.

    Just because he rapped about controversial issues should not deny the fact that this album is a lyrical masterpiece. I didn't understand completely, whom his anger was directed to.... but man, I won't want to be on the receiving end. There's hip hop, then there's Eminem. I mean i am still getting over the sick bars in this album..... Damn son!!!

    You need to listen and listen for real, even go and read out all the bars he's dropping, else almost everything will go over your head.

Simply unique. Leave them "journalists" searching for clout and dissing his entire album because of one line, made to bring attention to violence. Apparently it is okay when Ariana defends her ex boyfriend Pete for making a JOKE about it saying "Britney Spears didn't have a terrorist attack at her concert." implying Ariana is more famous because of that. But OH boy, it's a hell storm when Em references it. Get over yourselves and your double standards.

    It’s a great album with a variety of songs. It’s a return to form for Eminem as a lyricist. This album gave me some vibes of earlier works like The Eminem Show. Great album. Great songs. Don’t take my word for it though. Listen to the album and see what you think.

    Eminem chose way better beats this time.
    As far as lyrics it was a clinic. Lyrical wizardry.
    Most of the hooks were dope too.
    Darkness is the most serious one that addresses an important subject that somehow from what i read people still found something to **** about.
    Whether you like it or not this **** with guns needs to be dealt for real.
    Anyway it was a bar fest.

    i will never understand a "critics" review, not only are they being biased but every time the majority of the public likes something the "critics" review is so far off from the public's and this isn't just being represented in music but in movies and video games alike. How can the same reviewer give Revival a higher score than Kamikaze? This goes for a handful of other "critics", particularly a "critic" giving Revival 80 but Music To Be Murdered By a 40. This just proves how out of touch and easily offended these people are, trying to force Eminem and other artists that are not only in music to be politically correct and its making entertainment for the culture booorrring. "The album opens with a woman being murdered, referring to the album’s title and foreshadowing its theme. Who’s committing this act…? Eminem is talking to his alter ego, as he digs Slim Shady up, letting him out of his grave." -Genius annotation user: Toonamiguy
    This album is filled with lines that you just run in your head over and over for so long like it just hooks you in and you'll rewind just to hear it again. That is Slim Shady for you. Sick beats, excellent production especially the 4 tracks Dr. Dre helped produce, tasteful features and a lyrical masterpiece. Eminem has topped the already successful Kamikaze with Music To Be Murdered By!    … Expand

    Excellent production with a focused and diverse musical themes. It is lyrically lethal with clever wordplay, plenty of entendres, cadences, great metaphors and puns. Eminem shows that even at his age, he is still evolving and improving his craft, which most rappers never get to reach or let alone, maintain longitudinal relevancy in the music industry!

    By far his best album since MMLP2 for me. The only reason it isn’t a ten is because of the Ed Sheeran one. In my opinion, we get a good view of Slim Shady on some tracks and a more meaningful version of Em on others, such as darkness. I will definitely be listening to the album on repeat for a while, I’d call it a success. Don’t get why people are hating on it, but to each their own.

    Eminem's best project, production wise and writing wise, since Recovery. On Kamikaze he had a point to get across and sounded more angry than confident, but this time around, he is more comfortable with himself and is having more fun. He hasn't been this confident in himself since the old days. Great album.

    Slim Shady back at with arguably his best project since The Eminem Show back in 2002. This may be Bold AF, but it’s just my opinion. Em displays his rapid fire barz and clever rhyme schemes as always but with some emotion to go over that. But what really stood out was the theme. It feels like an horror movie throughout the entire albums and it works pretty well.

    I think people are always going to hate on Em, it's always been that way, but this time all these harsh words are pointless and ridiculous- do you really expect almost 50year old rapper to talk about things he used to talk in his twenties? He matured and the way he's presented his view on his new album is just perfect.

    Great album, easily the best album since Recovery. It has the Slim Shady vibe to it and Em delivers some of the rawest lyrics he has delivered in a good period of time. The beat selection for the project was pretty good, besides from the song "Yah Yah", which could have been a great song.

    Ok, isso foi uma experiencia! Pela estética e nome, eu achei que ia ser só mais uma obra visceral como foi "Kamikase", mas isso excedeu qualquer expectativa que eu tinha. Os beats mais puxados pro pop não ofuscaram a lírica quase perfeita nesse album. A quantidade de assuntos abordados me dão a sensação que esse foi um álbum muito pessoal, como era nos tempos de Marshall Mathers LP. NãoOk, isso foi uma experiencia!

Não quero me extender muito, mas tenho que falar da dualidade genial que ele trouxe para "Darkness", fazendo uma critica feroz as politicas norte americanas de armamentos. Em conseguiu fazer oque não deu tão certo em Revival, e permanecer imponente como fez em grande parte de "Kamikase".… Expand

    It is crazy at the lengths people will go to deny the genius of the man! Crazy album, right up there with the best of his work. Needs multiple listens to understand.

    Eminem once again proved all those so-called "CRITICS" that he is the RAP GOD and he always will be!!! And also for those snowflakes who get offended even by their own sneeze ... STFU!!! You can't cancel the LEGEND

    top 5 album. Eminem returns to his once funny and "immature" styles while having his music more modernized.

    Loved this! The theme is on point and done so masterfully. Listen and decide for yourself but it’s a great addition to an already epic library of Eminem music.

    Eminem continues to prove his writing and rapping ability. Some new sounds on this album for the people trying to say he sticks in the past. Darkness was a jaw dropper just like Stan and Arose were, completely a surprise. This is a unique record from Marshall and I think it'll have some longevity.

    When I heard Eminem released a new album, I was like finally but please don't fail me and Eminem rose to the challenge... Great story, lyrical genius, speed is uptight and awesome beat.... Seriously the album is just something out of this world that only he can make happen.. Keep it up Eminem.

    There's a certain 'strength' exuded by this album. It is not an angry album. It is a well thought out, exhaustingly made album that pleases in all manner that one might call unexpected. There are a few fillers, certainly. But the good turns far outweigh the shortcomings. This is quite the album to vibe too. Shoutout to Godzilla!

    Huge difference from his previous albums. Every beat sounds different and modern. A breath of fresh air. His wordplay, punchlines, etc. have been the best since MMLP2. This album is definitely up there with Eminem's better albums. Unfortunately, critics may keep bashing this album because of Eminem's moderately controversial comments on a few songs.

    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.
