    After 5 listens starting to believe this is some of his best work. Rapping his ass off and putting everyone in the ground no matter what the haters say. Slim Shady is back on this!

    Some great songs with the some great featured Artist, The record breaking verse in Godzilla is jaw dropping.

    All the people saying it’s trash and needs “lower” ratings for balance. Eminem fans are happy, Eminem fans know it’s a great album. The best album he’s put out since MMLP 2. Great Features And Replay Value.

    The pure genius that can be witnessed within this project it's a new high for an artist who has managed to break records and push the boundaries when it comes to meaningful lyrics and embrace the definition of rap and it's honestly a breath of fresh air given the belittling level of lyricism in the new supposed rap genre.

    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.
