    Here come the haters. Reading all the negative reviews people are saying the album is actually a 5/6 and some even a 7 but they are giving it a 0 to bring the score down. Obviously rating it incorrectly. Eminem fans are really happy with the album because for them Eminem delivered. Stans could have done the same thing for Revival, but they gave it a 6.

Eminem is in a corner with nothing to say, he has done it all, he rose to be the illest on the mic, he beat his demons, he survived the hard streets of Detroit and I'm not taking that away from him but he has nothing to say; All the clever wordplay an rhymes can't cover up that. I hope that with all the success he gets from this album dosen't bleed to his next one.… Expand

    I know all the Eminem fans are just spamming 10/10. Which is fake. However, despite wanting to give this a 0-1 just to compensate their fake reviews. I am still going to give it what i think it deserves a 4-5. Reasoning: Cons:
    Corny lines in serious songs bother me. The beats were not my favorite. The hooks DID NOT do it for me.

    Pros:
    He can rappity rap fast
    Em is obviously skillful in placement of rhymes, lines and double entendres Pretty good features
    I can feel his emotion in some tracks.

    Eminem isn't good. Just because it rhymes doesn't mean it's good fellas. He raps fast to the point where its hard to listen to. The corny bars are there like always. He should've given Juice Wrld a verse on Godzilla because he was the best part of the song.

This album is decent at best, it is for sure the best project Eminem has put out in a decade or so, but it's not great. The production is alright, but the mastering is trash.

    Absolute perfection. Perfect balance of Eminem, Marshall Mathers and Slim Shady, and the album is obviously made for Stans like me, seeing the gap between the critic score and the user score

    Best Em project since The Eminem Show. From the beginning to the end it was consistent and not as polarizing as his last few albums. Dre and Eminem compliment each other so much that it’s scary and the lyricism is top-tier. Not many lazy bars. Lyrically criminal!!!

    I gave myself some time before reviewing the album because Eminem's music isn't easy to judge after 1st listen. Sometimes I still Catch new bars after numerous listens, chich is nice because I know Artist took some ef fort.
    After watching the "Darkness" video I didn't know what to expect but after picking my jaw from the floor and listening to the whole album I was pleased... really    I gave myself some time before reviewing the album because Eminem's music isn't easy to judge after 1st listen.

    After watching the "Darkness" video I didn't know what to expect but after picking my jaw from the floor and listening to the whole album I was pleased... really pleased.
    Eminem went a long way from Revival(I dont hate it, some song I liked, other not so much), through Kamikaze which was very strong but a little bit raw album up to this jewel!
    What hit me the most? BEATS. In my opinion from Revival to MUSIC TO BE MURDERED BY theres 10-15 step when it comes to beats and the sounds overall. It sounds, modern, energetic and HIP HOP.
    Songs like Premonition, Godzilla, Unaccommodating or You Gon' Learn sound amazing and the other ones are pretty good to. What I really like is that Eminem sounds like He had a lot of fun making this album. Theres a lot of funny ad-libs and jokes, which i missed in last Eminem's albums.
    Lirycs... It's Eminem! Top tier bars, clever doubles(Darkness is sick!) and a ton of punchlines. Great stuff. Absolutely briliant.
    There's also few disses, powerfull but not as angry as on Kamikaze.
    Hooks? Pretty good. Some landed hard(Godzilla, I Will, Darkness), some are good and 1-2 I wasn't biggest fan.
    Features? AMAZING. Royce, Crook(his verse was nuts!), Joel, BT, Young Ma... I also liked Skylar Grey on the hook(powerful stuff!)
    The whole theme of the album is great, especially for Alfred Hitchcock's fans. It has its own style.    … Expand

    Out of the 20 track album I only dislike one song. I would give it as complete album a 9.7. It is absolutely the best of his albums in the last decade .

    Derivative. Boring. Borderline unlistenable at times. There are a couple songs that are alright at best, but for the most part, cringey.

    Amazing!! Never thought any Eminem album would surpass MMLP or The Eminem Show but Music To Be Murdered By has done it for me! From the first track I sat up and paid complete attention... shady is back and he is pissed!! Love it!!! Highlights for me are, Godzilla, Never Love Again,Darkness, Leaving Heaven and I Will.

    You can also find songs that are more serious and that take you back, thanks verses, chorus and style, to songs like Space Bound, Legacy or Beautiful, for example Darkness or Leaving Heaven.

    Finally, it also has a bunch of songs that are serious, and with a bit of Slim Shady spitting 100 words per second.

    This album in general has songs that have to be replayed at least 2 or 3 times to realize how good they are, in the end, that is how we all ended up knowing and loving songs like Lose Yourself, The Real Slim Shady or Without Me.    … 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.
