    This is album absolute unfair in the Rap Game. It's Insane and I can't believe how Good Eminem is. However, because of a fan base, they try to make this bad... Anyway, It's an amazing album by Eminem. I just want to say that fan base that Eminem raised around 2€ Million for the victims and what you did? don't skip music just because you get offended easily.

The features in this album are also amazing with features from slaughterhouse (besides joe budden for obvious reasons), young M.A, Royce multiple time and the late juice world(rip). Almost every song is amazing besides the kinda night which is still good but has a bit of corny bars and an old school feel. In every song has very complex bars and double entandres with farewell and darkness being one big double entendre. All in all this album is almost perfect and is a must buy if you are an eminem fan or a fan of complicated bars, double entendres, and lyrics.… Expand

    Stronger delivery compared to kamikaze. Eminem, tries to be more relevant by using much better beats than he used to, and delivering a better flow. Even though there are few cringy songs, the album stands out. Songs little engine, premonition, darkness and you gon' learn are my personal favorite and are on constant repqt

    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.

    Solid album ft the real slim shady and the drDre. What more could we ask for? Not sure y people are hating on it, controversy is what he does best.

    It's got relapse vibes and amazing features. Royce, black thought, q tip, juice, skylar and ortiz deliver, as usual. Ed sheeran's vocals are on point in Those Kinda Nights and the songs a banger.

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.

    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.

    This line from Kamikaze is so true..
    Cause you missed the line and never caught it
    'Cause it went over your head, because you're too stupid to get it
    'Cause you're mentally retarded but pretend to be the smartest
    With your expertise and knowledge, but you'll never be an artist
    And I'm harder on myself than you could ever be regardless

    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.

    What an amazing album. Em is Shakespeare of rap. In my personal ranking this album is in the top 5. (The Eminem Show, Relapse, MMLP, The Slim Shady LP, MTBMB)

    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. Em is not about the beat (only), its about the message and hidden things he has to say to the audience! God, King, GOAT even these adjectives feel not enough to describe how genius he is! Simply unique. Leave them "journalists" searching for clout andYou 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.

    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.

    I can't even keep count of how many times I've played and replayed this album, or maybe I can because me last.fm stats show that I've played it 398 times by the time I'm writing this review... since 17 January, so it has been just 3 days

    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 inThis is the album we never knew we wanted from Em.

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

    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.
