    Great album, of course it could never live up to the expectations of MM LP or TEM. Still this album is probably top 5 of his albums.

    Genuinely fantastic. People are obsessed with the controversy but let's take a minute to step back and view the *rap* element of this project.

    This album is pure magic. I am a fan of rap/hip-hop and this is purely the greatest album released in many years! If you have been listening carefully to the content you simply couldnt deny it!

    The pure raw talent of Eminem’s lyrical abilities shines like the sun on this album! This will go down as an absolute classic, showing that he can adapt to the culture of rap so effortlessly!

    Shady is BACK!

    Definitely a top 5 Em album. Much more consistent than his recent work and the rhyme schemes are fantastic. Nice to see Dre producing again.

    Wow, really unexpected features, beats. After Kamikaze, I was expecting more collabs with TayKeith, RonnyJ and Boi-1da cause those songs was dope, but instead he went with his old pals. And Im glad he did it. Amazing album, this is what Revival should've been sound like

    MTBMB is one of his best albums ever.

    For real, this album is already a classic for me. The Eminem we see today is the best version of him in his career. He's the same Slim Shady from 1997 but grown up and sober, and even better lyrically. This album almost has no bad songs. It's somehow the mix of best of Revival and best of Kamikaze which makes it a masterpiece.

    Another masterpiece he totally sounds a wee less angry on this one (which kinda mad me sad cause i love angry em) tracks are shorter also which is a nice thing cause you wouldn't Get bored, i also like mature em become since MMLP and TMS now he's focusing on relevant issues concerning his country, he also heated down the beefs

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's not about fans or haters reviews. Ofc his fans rate him a 9-10 and haters rate very low even if the album is great.
    His best work since Encore, plus keeping in mind that this album has been done within 1 year. If you know how much it takes to complete an album, you'll realise the motive of my comment.
    I want to just comment that, at this age, with almost 23 years of his career, he still has rhymes and lyrics that are insanely genius.
    We can talk about bad bars or lines, but besides that, this album has gotten a high level of lyricism in it, plus the production is so good you would want to come back and listen it for 1 more time everytime it's finished.    … Expand

    Em goes right back to his best days, with even better beats for some fire lyrics. There are some skipables after some replays, but they don't take away the greatness this surprise album has.

    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.
