    Getting back to his classics. I love how lyrically fluid he was, he brought some average beats to life in his songs

    This album gave me a rush of endorphins I didn't think could be achieved through music. The songs that really make this album a gem are the heavy hitters like Godzilla, I Will, and You Gon' Learn. This album sounds like Eminem took his old style and his new style and blended them to create a new and improved Marshall.
    As soon as I saw the notification for the new album I thought to myself

    As soon as I saw the notification for the new album I thought to myself "there's no way he can top Kamikaze," and boy was I wrong.
    This album is an absolute masterpiece, and any objective person will recognize the genius.

    Has to potential to be one of the best album of 2020. Though it's at the same level of KAMIKAZE & it was excluded from any awards. Sad .

    Really beautiful and creatively and enjoyable.
    Please don't compare this with the old Eminem. This is a new style of Em. And its really great. I love it...

    First classic of the year/decade. Em raised the bar really high for the music and hip-hop in specific. A CLASSIC!!

    It's an amazing album with a good mixture of new school and Eminems un touched lyricism. The only reason it's not rated a 10 is because losers are making accounts just to trash the album to drop the rating. Eminem is the greatest and this album is good the only thing that isn't good are the features, some people that were featured weren't the best.

    This is such a great album. Its a mixture of Relapse( beats by Dre with Shady popping up), Kamakazi ( aftermath of kamakazi and more disses) and perhaps the best album from Eminem since Recovery. The features are great, lyricism at peak and DRE AS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER. You get the image

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Mais um excelente álbum para sua invejável discografia. Music to Be Murdered By - é um álbum crítico, social e muito necessário. A escolha de Darkness como lead foi precisa. O clipe mais parece uma obra de arte de tão bem feito. Mais de 20 anos de carreira e o Eminem segue de provando genial e necessário. 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.
