    It’s not that often one can listen to a whole album, especially one that long, without at least skipping a few songs, but this album every song is a hit. The beats and production on this one is sick! Em’s flow is perfect. I love the album!

    Great album! Much better than the last few ones.
    There has been an evolution of his music through the past few years.
    Wish for more storytelling instead of fast rapping, still his wordplay is really good.

We’ve all heard Rap God and know you can rap fast so there’s no need to ram it down our throats. Ears feel like they’ve been assaulted after hearing about 4 words a second. Expand

    While features like Anderson Paak and Young M.A. were suitable picks, Eminem does what he does best and takes some of the best production he’s had in years and completely botches it at every turn.

    Marshall is back again. If anybody gets offended by him in this album, I don't care, because HE doesn't care.
    this album is a combine of Revival, Kamikaze, Relapse, MM LP series and SS LP which it's a great reason to enjoy the album containing tracks produced by Dr. Dre, New-School producer D.A Doman and other producers, featuring Anderson .Paak., Ed Sheeran, Royce da 5'9", Juice WRLD,

    After disliking Revival massively and not really digging Kamikaze I was not feeling very promising about this. Being an on and off Eminem fan I had to at least give my judgement.

    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.
