    People are throwing the 10's like newspapers, god. This is the best production Em has in a record since MMLP2, no doubt about it. He is quite great technically speaking too. But woooooooow are there so many eye rollers in this thing, not even the Ariana line but saying that he has his lyricism on point is like saying that your car can work with no problems with 3 wheels and half the motorPeople are throwing the 10's like newspapers, god.

    This theme of the album is all about the double entourage. It is about him going back to his roots while keeping with the times. I love the tunes and his bars are next to none.

    Felt like Eminem was trying to be overly edgy on this album. This does not necessarily make the album bad but gives off a very immature vibe and truly highlights just how stuck he is in the current generation of rap. He simply cannot seem to acclimate to rap nowadays. He just needs to grow up, cut his losses and retire now, like he should’ve ten years ago.

    Eminem tries very hard here to maintain the edgy appeal he carried ten years back. A majority of this album as a result of this sounds corny and terribly immature.

    Way overrated, Eminem was good in 2002 because he knew pretty much nothing, but now he looks like an old infant, I mean he should just retire and left behind that legacy that he had but he’s just **** up his own image with this kind of albums, I don’t know why he is so attached to his 2000 persona he should let it go by now and just accept who he is right now.

    This album is odd. To him complaining about haters, him being political and then him saying "bombs away like I'm outside an Ariana concert". This album could've been better if eminem tried. The man is close to 50 years old trying to fit in with the younger generations, it's not working.

Eminem acts like he's still 21 starting beef with people and hating the system or whatever, yet he's a middle aged man who's no longer relevant. He should take a leaf out of JAY-Zs book, who has matured as any artist should, and created 4:44, an album 100x better than anything Eminem has made. Though nothing is as bad as his wall punching, monster drinking, 'I tell my mom to F off' fan base, who leave bad reviews on the greatest albums of all time, such as MBDTF because they can't admit Eminem is washed up. The fact on one album he's dissing modern rap and 'mumble' rappers, then works with these new young artists, such as Juice WRLD (R.I.P gone too soon) shows how hell do anything for streams.… Expand

This album is one of the worst albums I've heard in awhile, but unlike the mainstream mumble rap that pervades hip hop, this one hurts more when you reminisce on the talent Eminem once had. From awful punch lines nauseatingly bad choruses, and bubblegum pop features, the irony is that fans of Em's recent albums will say "it is better than what's on the radio" ignorant of the fact that Slim Shady has gone the route of hiring Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, Pink, and other pop, radio artists and making singles specifically for this hypocritical purpose. When he tries to be deep and thoughtful, he comes across as someone with a shallow take on social issues, so shallow and unsubstantial, they do not warrant voicing.

    He approaches some semblance of self awareness when addressing the negative reviews of his recent albums, but proceeds to remind listeners that he lives in a bubble, for he cannot understand why criticism is directed at him, claiming he should be praised for staying relevant for so long. Well...spoiler Em, it is because your music has painfully regressed in every category, and your relevance seems to be a formulaic approach of dissing old beefs, making a track about what a mistake it was, and then repeating thos process.

    The only relevancy he can boast about is managing to secure a new generation of fans, who...in a depressing irony, cannot fathom why older listeners are so critical of Eminem now, for they were not around to witness what made Eminem a legend in hip hop.
    It is a somber admittance to loss respect for an artist you once revered.The real slim shady evidently died over a decade ago, and the so called slim shady we see putting out albums now is a hellish, Frankenstein's monster, abomination of a creature.

    Eminem has become the Star Wars of rap. There will always be a cult following that will eat up whatever **** is put out, merely because the name Eminem is attached. That tells us what an impact he has had on hiphop. Contrarily, the ones who appreciated the originals though look on with disgust at what their once beloved creation has become. And like Star Wars, we can grimly expect more and more movies (albums) to come out which will only continue to tarnish the legacy of something once so respected and cherished.    … Expand

    Clearly Eminem is a great rapper. Nevertheless, he's the most uninteresting person on earth at this point. This thing reeks of "been there done that" and completely fades from ones attention before the halfway point. Couple of nice spots on here but they're drowned in an overlong track list that really can't keep it up. 5/10 pretty much based on technical ability above all else.

    he's a grown ass man who is still trying to act like an edgy teen. mentioning the manchester bombing for the sole reason of introducing shock value feels like a cheap and desperate move of someone who's trying to maintain the 'savage' he's built over the years. his lyrics are getting worse and worse, this album they reach an absolute low of them being corny.

    More bland uninspired trying to hip on the new generations Eminem music. That Ed Sheeran track is the worst **** ive heard in a while

    It's really average. Fairly similar to Eminems recent works but really just "not as bad." Unfortunate evolution for him

    It's got 5 out of 18 songs that I like. I am really bored with his supersonic flow, it doesn't sound cool it's just annoying.

    Underwhelming compared to last year's Kamikaze, Eminem has still provided enough heat and personality to keep the album off the ground. "Godzilla" is a surefire hit.

    Please, stop making songs with Ed Sheeran, Eminem. i thought we all had agreed he's not good, and his presence makes it very hard for you to seem intimidating. Other than that it was a good album.

    Another trash album from a used to be great rapper. From 3 dope albums to open and now just ok and scattered songs/albums from him now. His stand make it worse because they know it's not good but when you got 90% of white fans defending his old ways and repetitive rap patterns. This is the result you get.

    Em's gotta do something new, he keeps doing the same old with no real change or twist, plus all this stuff he's done much better in the past.

    Em's strongest effort since The Eminem Show alongside 2013's Marshall Mathers LP 2. Music To Be Murdered By is not nearly as thematically focused as MMLP2, but what it lacks in cohesion, it makes up with a tracklist that's full of really memorable individual tracks that are diverse, full of technical brilliance, brimming with catchy hooks, eargasmic flows and creative wordplay.

    This is certainly a solid effort from Eminem all round, although a handful of the tracks become tiresome after a couple of listens, and others are fairly forgettable. There are some highlights here which help overall (Darkness, and the Don Toliver feature was a welcome surprise).

People giving this a 10 are obviously massive stans, and people giving it a 2 or 3 blatantly haters.

    Terrible and difficult listen. Eminem has chosen speed over clever bars and has delivered some very cringy bars and flows that did not fit the beats. The features were decent. Young MA stole the show. Replay value is extremely low.

    This hurts to say but i don't like this album. He has some decent to trash beats, he has horrible hooks and keeps his annoying stacatto fast flow that lost it's magic after the first few times he did it.

    Some Strong Songs on this record for sure. But Some Are Definitely Bland. Production Can Be Better. In General a very OK album nothing special at all.
    Also Lyrics can be.......Very insensitive and Very stupid....like Very to he point where it’s cringey.

    Extremely annoying to listen to. Eminem’s extremely corny lines and fast-flows-that-aren’t-cool-anymore ruin the album. Juice WRLD and Anderson.paak were the best parts of it

    Better than his latest outputs, but that ain't saying much, generic beats, childish verses and awful (awful) choruses. Yes, there are still tons of Kyles blasting his music while chugging mountain dew, thrilled to give this a 10, but that doesn't make it good. a Mediocre attempt at staying relevant.

    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.
