    It sounds like someone is digging a hole. A nod to Slim Shady? Only em can what what Em does.

    This album is a highly lyrical trip in which Eminem displays a masterful versatility of flows and great beat selections. One of his very best albums and an instant classic! I saw some people organized an effort to give the album a 0/10 because they didn't like how highly the album sat, you people are the definition of pathetic.

    Music to Be Murdered By is Eminem's best album since The Marshall Mathers LP 2. The album is very consistent, great beats and great lyrics FIRE Hooks.

    With fun and interesting flows and great feature acts and a homage to Juice WRLD this album is sure worth your time. Wheather em is rapping about a Las Vegas gun man or going to the club. He never fails to land the punches and bars

    Gives us a taste of The Eminem Show vibe and the MMLP rage whilst sprinkling a new Slim Shady above it. Love it

    Highly improved production by Eminem’s standards. In fact, his second best produced album after Relapse, which makes sense as it’s the first time Dre has been involved in production since then. As usual, excellent technical rapping and wordplay, lyricism is on point. Extremely consistent tracklist, despite songs that are “fillers” or that don’t have much content.

For the first time since The Eminem Show, not one unlistenable or sonically bad song. Em also finds himself having interesting content this time, as opposed to his previous album. However, there are some tracks with no content such as Marsh and Lock It Up, with the former slightly bringing the album down. Never Love Again has an absolutely stunning beat switch and is one of his best written songs ever with the consistent metaphors. It’s truly an amazingly written song. Also this album has the best features in Eminem’s discography with the dream collaboration between him and Black Thought finally happening. All features deliver except for Ed Sheeran, who didn’t belong, and Young M.A. The weakest tracks on the album are In Too Deep, Those Kinda Nights, Stepdad, and Farewell from worst to better. The best ones are I Will, Lock It Up, You Gon’ Learn, Darkness, and Unaccomodating from best to slightly less good. Amazing return to form and Eminem’s fourth best album imo. Expand

    An overall good album with some surprising sounds and features I didn't excpect from EMINEM. The album definatly has highs and lows but is a pleasure to listen to. The better tracks in my opinion are: Darkness, Leaving Heaven and Godzilla.

Darkness shows that Eminem is still brilliant with the pen, most of the song can be interpreted in two ways, Leaving heaven is a little more emotional than most tracks on this album, talking about his dad who passed away recently and Godzilla is some fun fast spittin' by Eminem which remains fun to listen to even if Em doesnt have too much to say. Low points on the album for me are tracks like Those kinda nights with Ed Sheeran, which overall just doesnt sound great doesnt have anything to say and I think the verses dont really match the chorus.

    Overall an enjoyable and really solid project by EMINEM.

    It's definitely his best album since MMLP2 . it opens perfect continiuse really good and finishes awesome . I think the best tracks on it are leaving heaven. No regrets.and Darkness.

    It's a great album but people sleep on it because he is old. Just because of his age like for real! Especially for that Stepdad song. People said he's too old to rap like that. Goddammit listen to the song! I think it's a great album but he needs to change his style rn. And stop rapping so fast all the time. It's time to change new stuff like you always do but you've been rapping choppyIt's a great album but people sleep on it because he is old. Just because of his age like for real!

And stop rapping so fast all the time. It's time to change new stuff like you always do but you've been rapping choppy and fast for a couple years now. That Leaving Heaven song was trash. Ranking his albums for me (even tho we need to give time this album but as of now):

    1. MMLP
    2. TES
    3. SSLP
    4. Relapse
    5. Kamikaze
    6. MMLP2
    7. MTBMB (has the potential to be 6 or maybe 5)
    8. Recovery
    9. Encore
    10. Infinite
    11. Revival

    Now let's wait for the next BME album. I think he is in the right path rn unless he works with ed sheeran and skylar grey and any other pop bs. We want to hear rap on BME album OK? I think they'll drop a classic album. In DaBaby's voice: let's goooooo.

    MTBMB is possibly the best Eminem release since Marshall Mathers LP (About just as good as Relapse) I really like the Alfred Hitchcock interludes, gives the tracks an ominous feeling. Most of the tracks are very good, a couple of things though.
    He has way too many songs rapping about toxic relationships, Farewell is god awful. (I know "Never love again" is just one big double-entendre

    Eminem is the rap dad, spitting line after line of double and triple entendres. When was the last time a mainstream rap album had you actually laughing over and over? Some of these verses verge on a modern pop-culturally aware shakespearian comedy. Not only has he continued to hone his lyrical craft to levels best compared with famous poets, but the technical prowess of his delivery adds an entirely new level of artistry.

    Overall, this is a solid album, but it could easily do without following songs: Leaving Heaven, Farewell, Stepdad, Never Love Again, In Too Deep and Those Kinda Nights. The reason for why these are not great songs, is bad production, boring flow and, sometimes, corny bars. The rest of the album though, is great.

    Absolutely fantastic album and his best since MMLP2. Lots of outstanding songs like Godzilla, Darkness, Premonition, You Gon Learn, Uncommadating, Yah Yah, Leaving Heaven, No Regrets, and I Will which are all masterpieces but the rest are good too. The only one that isn't good is Those Kinda Nights, but it's still aight like a 6/10. This is probably the 2nd best album od 2020 just behindAbsolutely fantastic album and his best since MMLP2.

    Music To Be Murdered By is easily the best Eminem album in seven years. Darkness is a lyrically brilliant track with a great message about gun control, and the whole song is a double entendre. Eminem's latest release features a couple of disappointing tracks, but the album is amazing in general. This project has features from both new and old artists, and should appeal to many audiences.Music To Be Murdered By is easily the best Eminem album in seven years.

    Not one bad song here. Every song bumps, and they are without a doubt Eminem's best songs lyrically, this shows how much he abuses multisyllabic rhyming, punchlines and double/triple entendres. It's been over a year since this album came out and I'm still figuring out new meanings for certain lyrics. It also came out on my Birthday, so that's a plus.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A phenomenal album it shows Eminem in his peak lyricism he has jaw dropping speeds in his last verse on Godzilla intense emotional tracks like Leaving Heaven and Darkness and although some may not like every song that is subjective and as well gets made up for by insane lyricism 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.
