    I liked this album this is his best since MMLP2. He had some features that surprised me, like Young MA, Juice Wrld, and Don toliver. The beats were better than both Kamikaze and Revival. I liked most of the songs. The only skip, was Farewell. Which is good. This album has some replay value. Which is good, too. Reason why I put this as a 9 because some bars em spit was corny.

    Eminem’s best album since the 00s. From front to back this is a true definition of a hip hop album. Hopefully it inspires the current generation to focus on lyrics and punchlines more.

    Shady is back. Unforgiving, unapologetic, and real. 2020 will show a lack of intolerance for some, but the fact that he’s reigniting the gun-reform conversation, and it didn’t take ANOTHER mass shooting, is a victory in itself. Let alone a fire album, tracks 1-20.

    Eminem is Eminem! He is a GOAT of hip hop no matter who wants to admit it or who does NOT! His wordplay is unmatched and his flows are insane. They have been since 1999 when he burst on the scene nothing has changed. MTBMB builds off what he started on Kamikaze and does NOT disappoint.

The album really gets going with the Juice WRLD featured “Godzilla”... it was this moment when Eminem delivers one of his best verses in his history. The song Darkness is all over the news, but the message is great and correct. Only because it’s Eminem is it getting negativity. This album builds off Kamikaze very well and proves that Revival was a fluke and nothing else. This is Eminem at his Post 2010 best and I can’t be happier.… Expand

Simply unique. Leave them "journalists" searching for clout and dissing his entire album because of one line, made to bring attention to violence. Apparently it is okay when Ariana defends her ex boyfriend Pete for making a JOKE about it saying "Britney Spears didn't have a terrorist attack at her concert." implying Ariana is more famous because of that. But OH boy, it's a hell storm when Em references it. Get over yourselves and your double standards.

    Clearly Eminem is a great rapper. Nevertheless, he's the most uninteresting person on earth at this point. This thing reeks of "been there done that" and completely fades from ones attention before the halfway point. Couple of nice spots on here but they're drowned in an overlong track list that really can't keep it up. 5/10 pretty much based on technical ability above all else.

    Eminem's best project, production wise and writing wise, since Recovery. On Kamikaze he had a point to get across and sounded more angry than confident, but this time around, he is more comfortable with himself and is having more fun. He hasn't been this confident in himself since the old days. Great album.

    Eminem is back again with more heat. The bars are on point and he delivers 100%. With some introspective and heavy tracks like Darkness and In Too Deep, as well as some classic fast, impressive verses that can be found in Godzilla, Yah Yah, and the intro (Premonition), he shows yet again why he is the greatest rapper alive.

    This line from Kamikaze is so true..
    Cause you missed the line and never caught it
    'Cause it went over your head, because you're too stupid to get it
    'Cause you're mentally retarded but pretend to be the smartest
    With your expertise and knowledge, but you'll never be an artist

    An impressive comeback from the previous two albums. Any stale moments in the album are immediately forgotten with the outstanding instrumental. It seems that Eminem will always be controversial, and there are things he said that he obviously shouldn’t have said, but I believe these faults don’t matter too much when the end result is so impressive and enjoyable.

    With all the noise surrounding any Eminem release, not only by fans and critics, but overly sensitive whistle blowing bloggers and social media mobsters, eager to pick apart and place judgement on an entire project based off of one lyric they deem “offensive”, it’s difficult to clear out all of the background noise and focus on reviewing the actual album as a whole, as a musical piece.With all the noise surrounding any Eminem release, not only by fans and critics, but overly sensitive whistle blowing bloggers and social media mobsters, eager to pick apart and place judgement on an entire project based off of one lyric they deem “offensive”, it’s difficult to clear out all of the background noise and focus on reviewing the actual album as a whole, as a musical piece.
    This being said, MTBMB is a fantastic return to form for Slim Shady on many levels and feels like the album he’s been trying to make for the better part of the past decade. Still crisp, and as sharp as ever, yet somehow makes his old tricks feel new again and work here. The wordplay throughout the album is simply brilliant and not rivaled by anyone else on the planet. The right mix of serious and humorous songs combined with the best production on an Eminem album in quite sometime, ditching the Rick Rubin rap rock efforts in exchange for more contemporary and dark themes which fit perfectly with the albums title and concept. This alongside a great set of guest features, makes me have to rate this as the best Eminem album since Recovery. I’m giving this a 9, with the understanding that classic albums such as The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show reserve the 10. This falls just shy of those efforts but overall, MTBMB is a work of genius.    … Expand

    i will never understand a "critics" review, not only are they being biased but every time the majority of the public likes something the "critics" review is so far off from the public's and this isn't just being represented in music but in movies and video games alike. How can the same reviewer give Revival a higher score than Kamikaze? This goes for a handful of other "critics", particularly a "critic" giving Revival 80 but Music To Be Murdered By a 40. This just proves how out of touch and easily offended these people are, trying to force Eminem and other artists that are not only in music to be politically correct and its making entertainment for the culture booorrring. "The album opens with a woman being murdered, referring to the album’s title and foreshadowing its theme. Who’s committing this act…? Eminem is talking to his alter ego, as he digs Slim Shady up, letting him out of his grave." -Genius annotation user: Toonamiguy
    This album is filled with lines that you just run in your head over and over for so long like it just hooks you in and you'll rewind just to hear it again. That is Slim Shady for you.

    Huge difference from his previous albums. Every beat sounds different and modern. A breath of fresh air. His wordplay, punchlines, etc. have been the best since MMLP2.

    I think this album is probably one of his best all time after the classic three. It’s way up there, and deserves a lot of praise. Even the songs that aren’t as good are still pretty good listens. The production is consistently excellent and Darkness might be New Em‘s Stan.

    Amazing album.
    I think it's good that he didn't make any announcement. And I think it is very funny that critics are exactly as he said. Give 64 to album that is very good obviously. The beats, lyrics, techniques are undoubtedly fantastic. It's connect old Shady vibe and new type of sound. My favorite songs: lock it up, stepdad,

    Great return to form from over-gated rap legend. Eminem’s best album since 2013’s Marshall Mathers LP 2 and arguably more appealing to larger audiences with modern beats, flows and features.

    Best album in years stop hating and respect art. Some of the reviews I have heard have been BS. The new music out today is garbage. This has old school mixed with new school. Dark twisted no different then the shows we see on TV. Respect on this album. Love it.

    There's a certain 'strength' exuded by this album. It is not an angry album. It is a well thought out, exhaustingly made album that pleases in all manner that one might call unexpected. There are a few fillers, certainly. But the good turns far outweigh the shortcomings. This is quite the album to vibe too. Shoutout to Godzilla!

    Eminem makes a significant return to form on “Music To Be Murdered By”. On this LP, he delivers excellent flows alongside equally (mostly) potent lyrics + great production. Some tracks I would’ve gone without are Stepfather (the beat is quite horrendous), Farewell, Those Kinda Nights, and Marsh. Otherwise, this album is quite good.

    It was a lot of fun to listen to, from the first track to the outro. The theme of the entire album was just fun and eminem had a lot of great hooks and actual songs.

    When I heard Eminem released a new album, I was like finally but please don't fail me and Eminem rose to the challenge... Great story, lyrical genius, speed is uptight and awesome beat.... Seriously the album is just something out of this world that only he can make happen.. Keep it up Eminem.

    This album clearly potrays the rappers prowess over his lyrical abilities. His mindfull metaphors and clever references makes this album a proper manifestation of higher power at work.

    Though the production choices can be distracting, the latest album from Shady hits all the right spots, technical prowess, much improved hooks, solid sequencing, and more than a few moments of creative genius. The most satisfying offering Eminem has made in years.

    It's not Shady on drugs, it's not Marshall in rehab, we're in a sweet spot...
    The flow is fresh, unique compared to his other albums and still manages to surprise... The creativity in the pun scheme is amazing as always...
    It's basically another altered perspective of a rapper who's remained relevant and ranted for 20 years...

    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.
