    One of the best Eminem albums to date. When it comes to lyrics it doesn't disappoint and even exceeds high expectations when it comes to Eminem.

    He just sounds like a bitter old man as usual in quite a few spots of the album. The best song on the album "You gon Learn" belonged to Royce. A number of corny lines, just did not enjoy this album at all.

    Eminem is literally doing lyrical acrobatic rhymes in the entire album! Love the beats, he seems to be having fun with new producers and beats. Eminem is evolving ! I do not get the hate on Em, it’s as if hating on Em is the popular thing now a days. Amazing album in a good direction!

    This album will take you back to the glory days of Eminem. It's not as "pop-heavy" as some of his previous releases, excellent production value and gritty story telling reminiscent of the Slim Shady LP. I think there are few tracks to skip over for true fans of hip hop.

    It seems like Eminem will be criticized by some no matter what he puts out, but at the end of the day the opinions of a few don't mean anything. Sales are the only indisputable metric you can rely on when determining if an album is good and for that reason Eminem is the indisputable GOAT.

    These Eminem stans are ridiculous... This is the same boring corny ass music with the same lame fast raps about nothing with the same annoying staccato flow that he has had on his last few projects. This is so bad

    This is Em’s 4th classic. The production is infectious and the rhymes are the best of his career. So much to unpack here. Darkness is by far top 5 written song of Eminem’s career.

    Eminem shows improvement from past projects, but filler love songs and some straight up bad songs make the album a lower score.

    Best Tracks: Leaving Heaven, Little Engine, Lock it Up, No Regrets

    I maybe a bit biased being a big Eminem fan but this album is actually so good! It has a bit of everything from previous, best features on an Eminem album since Relapse/Encore. His voice sounds refreshing while giving you a Encore sounding vibe. Each song is addicting and when you hear the whole album, it leaves you not knowing which song you wanna play again as they are so good.

Best hooks on an Em album in ages, a lot of them being himself as he usually has a female or of the sorts on the chorus in recent years. Even if you are not an Eminem Stan, you will be bumping this album after 1 play. One of my favourite songs has got to be Marsh. Enjoy! Expand

I love every song on this album - with all albums after TES there were always a few songs I’d skip on each album, but I love all of them on MTBMB. The beats are amazing, the features are amazing, the lyrics are amazing (as always). Eminem is back and better!

    Eminem once again proves that he should have hung his hat albums ago. Impressive features and a nice throwback theme, however the album doesn't have it's true intro until track 4, leaving 1-3 in a weird limbo state. While his speed-rapping is at it's all time best on the track Godzilla, the lyrics don't have the same shock value that they used to.

    In Conclusion: Will the Real Slim Shady

    This **** is trash. I do not understand why Eminem feels the need to rap fast to be a good rapper. He didn't do that on the slim shady LP, and he's been doing it since the Marshall mathers LP 2. It gets **** old. He obviously isn't over revival's reception even though that was also trash. This isn't really worth listening to. One word to describe this **** is simply "yikes."

    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.
