    An amazing work, by the GOAT himself (as he says in the premonition intro). Top 3 for sure, after The Eminem Show and MMLP

    I like this new eminem with new beats,it feels good to see him top the other rappers in this age.
    One of his best albums.
    I think it can be the album of the year.

    Slim shady IS BACK BABY, this album is almost perfect, i mean where do I start? The flows changing from time to time, the freaking barrs, how he rhymes words that you couldn't even think of, his speed as always.
    Thank you Eminem

    Em is a genius. He is truly the Rap God. The flow, speed, bars, double-, triple- entendre are crazy! I love this album. His lyrics are out of this world.
    10/10!

    It seems like Enibem is starting to come to terms with the fact that Revival wasn't a good album. This album is a hug step in the right direction.

    Best hip hop album ever.
    Eminem is the most versatile hip hop airtist ever.
    His flows from premonition was top notch till the end of the track.

    One of the best Eminem albums, MTBMB is the probably the most artistic album Eminem has ever made. Kicking the album off in a new decade with breaking records, the album is spectacular.

    You need to give this album time. Trust me when I say this, it grows on you. Songs like Darkness, in too deep, leaving heaven grow on you to an extent where you can't get it out of your head. There are very minimal skips if any (none for me personally).
    The album isn't one directional is one of the most technical work by Slim (not Eminem, Slim Shady)

    I maybe a bit biased being a big Eminem fan but this album is actually so good! It has a bit of everything from previous, best features on an Eminem album since Relapse/Encore. His voice sounds refreshing while giving you a Encore sounding vibe. Each song is addicting and when you hear the whole album, it leaves you not knowing which song you wanna play again as they are so good.

Best hooks on an Em album in ages, a lot of them being himself as he usually has a female or of the sorts on the chorus in recent years. Even if you are not an Eminem Stan, you will be bumping this album after 1 play. One of my favourite songs has got to be Marsh. Enjoy!… Expand

    Great album, it’s one of his best works though you do need time to like it. It took me a few listens.

    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.
