    I'm being generous with a 2. Godzilla is legit the only good song, and even the rap god part is cringy. Grandpa eminem being eminem.

    Em has still got lots to say and this album proved it to me. Lyrically he is second to none (when you take into account how consistent he has been at this). The beats on this album range from some more new age slappers to some old school dre beats. I have been consistently listening to this album since it launched and dont see it leaving my tape deck any time soon.

    Amazing album. People are only hating because its eminem. If the MMLP dropped today people would hate it. Whether you like it or not eminem is a GOAT.

    Even though the last few tracks on the album are somewhat boring, the rest of the album is pretty solid. My favourite tracks on the album would have to be Those Kinda Nights, Darkness, and Stepdad

    he's a grown ass man who is still trying to act like an edgy teen. mentioning the manchester bombing for the sole reason of introducing shock value feels like a cheap and desperate move of someone who's trying to maintain the 'savage' he's built over the years. his lyrics are getting worse and worse, this album they reach an absolute low of them being corny.

    Очень крутой альбом! Его мрачная и одновременно крутая атмосфера делает альбом еще более приятным! Добавление фраз Альфреда Хичкока - это просто гениально! Я бы хотел отметить 3 трека, которые мне очень понравились: Darkness, Unaccommodating, Godzilla. 10 из 10.Очень крутой альбом!

    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.    … Expand

    Amazing album liked all the songs except 1 song which i find that its not good enough the problem wasn't from em ( lock it up feat anderson peak) the problem was from who featured the song i didn't like the way he sings and i found it awful to hear and the hook not that good in my opinion

    Critics are asleep at the wheel on this one. Easily up there with one of his best Albums which puts it up there with one of the best Albums full stop. Get on board almost every song has something and plenty to go back to again and again.

    I haven't been this in love with an Eminem album in quite some time - it's absolutely fantastic. There isn't a song on here that I skip when playing it.

    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. Marshal your flow on premonition is flawless. Only problem is the theme of album and skits is really dark but songs don't correctly match it.

    Checks every box. Not only one of Em’s best ever albums, but one of Raps best ever albums period. Flawless rap.

    The wordplay this guy used in this album was completely something very next level.
    Everytime Eminem comes with a new album, this guy raisesa bar for every other artist in this industry which I seem is unachievable for them

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel this album would be a lot better if Em stuck to the titled topic. I'll start by saying how great the transition is from Kamikaze to MTBMB -- Premonition even *sounds* like a Kamikaze track! Tracks such as the aforementioned "Premonition (Intro)", "Little Engine" and "Darkness" reminisce a lot better and honestly just fit on the album better than "Those Kinda Nights"... or "Farewell". To be honest, these songs probably shouldn't have been on here. It's tight to hear another Em storytelling song, but it's a bumpy road going from a reuniting of Bad Meets Evil, and Alfred Hitchcock, directly to "River 2".

    I am a great fan of "Darkness", "Godzilla" and "Yah Yah". It's great to see Em using their platform for gun violence awareness, and the storytelling is amazing as usual. The only issue is with the music video, it interrupted the intended direction and spoiled most of the double entendres for me--and the song as a result.

    "Marsh" and "In Too Deep" are structurally opposites--I feel Marsh has great verses, but a bad chorus. In Too Deep, on the other hand, I only listen to it for the chorus and then skip. The rest of the album is... meh. Again, it probably would've been better if Em stayed on topic. If I had to rate both sides, the first side is orders by magnitude better. The album sadly fell apart after "Lock it Up". But seriously, before I write my farewells, how *do* you un-suck a ****?    … Expand

    I like this album, songs like Darkness really show how good Em can be, some songs like stepdad are really disappointing tho, this album is a step in the good direction for Em.

    Another trash album from a used to be great rapper. From 3 dope albums to open and now just ok and scattered songs/albums from him now. His stand make it worse because they know it's not good but when you got 90% of white fans defending his old ways and repetitive rap patterns. This is the result you get.

    i honestly think lil uzi not dropping in over two years has lowered peoples standards of what an actual good album sounds like. i didnt even listen to this garbage but its obviously the most flaming trash of the decade. gave it a 1 for a participation point. eminem is a poor mans logic at this point.

    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.
