    Still better than everyone else ! Lyrically insane. Strong beats together with the best features money can buy. Yes it's not something one can easily sing along with. And it is so complex you have to listen to each son in repeat. But it is worth it.

    This album is musically excellent. The bars the flow are impeccable. Great nod to Alfred Hitchcock with the album cover and name, aswell as the several interludes on this album.

    It’s a great work of art that has some songs on it that can compete with the top songs from Em in a long time. Great storytelling and doesn’t sound like an old man trying to act young or like he’s faking anything. Sounds genuine and some songs sound like he’s even having fun like he used to.

    He's the G, the O-A-T ! So many songs that are full of double or even triple entendre. And sometimes, the full song is a double entendre in itself. His mind

    Great album from slim shady
    The album hip-hop world's been waiting for! One of the best of Eminem's work!!
    A master of his art. Great standalone tracks, and great as an album. Tasteful features are icing on the cake.

    Eminem did what he does best!!! Showed everybody NOT to doubt him. His wordplay is sick. Even if you cant relate to him... you cant deny he is the best in the business when it comes to putting words together and making sense...

    Easily Em's best work since Recovery. He didn't overthink this one. The beats are amazing and he goes off on pretty much every track.

    This theme of the album is all about the double entourage. It is about him going back to his roots while keeping with the times. I love the tunes and his bars are next to none.

    Thank you Em for continuing to keep my head bumping. This album is tight from beginning till the end. He did Murder it! Not just the best MC, the best artist of all time at this point, wrote everything he's ever spit!

Furthermore, they criticize darkness for its imagery and lyrics. Even though Em provides resources to help people deal with that trauma on his site but also fight against future tragedies like it.

    The album is great. The word play is amazing, the beats are fantastic (from Dre to Royce), the features are pretty great. I can listen to every single track on this album and enjoy it. There's a reason why most rap fans praise the album. And the critics seem to dislike it, they're missing the point. And the lines are going over their head, like a roof. 10/10.

    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.
