    This is one of the corniest albums ever made and makes me want to die. Doesn't have a single good song.

    The laziness that is shown and the reviews from fans show how this man can make an hour long album with him saying different diseases,the only song I can stand is Godzilla,but like Anthony fantano says"NOT Good." It's hilarious that there are zero negative reviews

    Great beats coupled with the best features of any Eminem album and his tightest flow since MMLP2 make this a great project. However, the album is bogged down by some questionable tracks that feel more like filler to reach the hour mark.

    Another preachy self righteous half assed release by one of raps greatest m.c's. What has happened to him that he thinks it's okay to categorically disappoint so fluently. His features are the only reason this album is somehow bearable.

    Whenever Eminem does not have a specific topic to talk about, He starts to diss everybody to get the spotlight.
    Someone has to remind him that music needs rhythm.

    I'm being generous with a 2. Godzilla is legit the only good song, and even the rap god part is cringy. Grandpa eminem being eminem.

    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.

    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.

    i honestly think lil uzi not dropping in over two years has lowered peoples standards of what an actual good album sounds like. i didnt even listen to this garbage but its obviously the most flaming trash of the decade. gave it a 1 for a participation point. eminem is a poor mans logic at this point.

    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. Stupid references to the Manchester attack, a stupid hook that celebrates killing an abusive step-dad, and annoying lyrics that talk about how he's the best in the game.

I'm seeing The Telegraph here giving this album a 10 on 10, and I think that is definite example of how long Eminem's status goes to improve his ratings. All of the tracks achieve very little as far as instrumentation or lyricism goes and Darkness was the only exception that genuinely tried to do something. I would give this is a zero, but this was a whole lot better than Kamikaze. I'd give Kamikaze a zero, but that was a lot better than Revival.… Expand

    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.

    It has a few tracks that are well put together but it is way, way, way too long. Most of the time. It seems like Eminem was just doing his thing over bland beats with punchlines that give me PTSD of the revival days.

    At this point, em can fart (at a really fast pace on repeat) on a record and these cancerous stans will suck it all up like smelling roses. sales and Stan reviews don’t matter when the golden “white boy” of hiphop gets props for vomiting rhymes over trash / generic beats.

    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.
    Out of all the songs, I liked one.

    Just like almost all the albums that have came out in the 1st month of 2020, its repetitive as hell. His rapping is getting worse, because hes rich. He doesn't have to worry, and that's what he used to rap about.

    It got a 48/190 from me or a 25%.

    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.

    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.
