    One of the best Eminem albums to date. When it comes to lyrics it doesn't disappoint and even exceeds high expectations when it comes to Eminem.

    Eminem is literally doing lyrical acrobatic rhymes in the entire album! Love the beats, he seems to be having fun with new producers and beats. Eminem is evolving ! I do not get the hate on Em, it’s as if hating on Em is the popular thing now a days. Amazing album in a good direction!

    Vintage and rejuvenated Eminem with Sharp storytelling, vicious rage and crisp production and vocals. Features ain't too shabby either! 10/10 best release since Relapse!!

    Beautifully written. Perfect balance of harmony and chaos. Controversial and refreshing and a modern take on a nostalgic theme. Wild reminding me of the old Shady, it also showed me Eminem has not fallen off but instead aged like wine.

    I believe this album is amazing. Yes I love Eminem and I understand he's not everyone's cup of tea but I think no matter what you can't deny his lyrical ability. I know the Kanye stans and even the Kendrick fans came here to give Em a negative review just simply because this album had a high rating, but please don't let those empty reviews stop you from wanting to check the album out.I believe this album is amazing.

Don't let them take out of context lines to try to discredit his lyrical ability either. Eminem in this album brings us one the deepest and most layered songs I've heard in a long time. it's up their with Stan and Bad Guy. Nothing will ever match Stan don't get me wrong, but it's amazing. Throughout the album we have Eminem rapping over some very nice beats and the album is full with amazing features from Young MA, to Juice WRLD, to Royce and so on. Personally my favorites our Darkness and leaving Heaven. In leaving heaven Eminem speaks on his father, who just passed away last year. You can just feel the emotion through Em's lyrics. The only song I really dislike on this album is the one with Ed Sheeran but other than that there's something for everyone.… 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.
