    This album is pure TRASH. At his big old and ripe age and he is still releasing childish music

    Goosebumps everywhere. Hooks, lyrics, beats, flows, everything goes together perfectly. So much replay value as well!

    The album was very bad. The only Think Good was Eminem beating his own record for most word per minute

    Eminem got murdered on his own track by who????? Young ma my ass. All eminem does on this album is murder. He murders every beat. Every lyric and murders anyone who's featured on the track with him. Slim shady in the buildin

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

    It's the best in whatever way you map it. The era going on doesn't value artists and that's a fact.

    Being an independent artist myself, I look up to a lot of other artists. Eminem being one of them. From a lyrical perspective, this record is gold. The craft that Eminem has clearly mastered over the 20+ years in the industry is prominent, and as always at the forefront is the same “I don’t give a fxxx” attitude that we have come to know and love.

The craft that Eminem has clearly mastered over the 20+ years in the industry is prominent, and as always at the forefront is the same “I don’t give a fxxx” attitude that we have come to know and love. With tracks featuring artists from all perspectives of the music world such as Skylar Grey, Young MA, Anderson Paak, the late Juice World, and even Ed Sheeran (the only song I wasn’t really in love with, although I see why it was put on the album) make for a very time travelish ride back to the days of “role model”. The connection to Alfred Hitchcock was done beautifully, and if I had to compare this record to Kamikaze and Revival (I loved both) I would have to say this is best of the three. And if I have to say something about the “reverse stans” it’s listen deeper than the words before you put it in a box. Eminem has never and will never care about the negative criticism that surrounds him. It only gives him more fuel to put out content that we as fans love. Music to be murdered by is a true example of that.… Expand

    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.

    So many metaphoric Lyric, Witty Expression and pure lyricism made this album a pure Diamond❤❤
    Eminem just puts emphasis on Lyric over Beet's as always
    This is what rap is all about❤

    Some incredible features and top-notch lyricism. Most of the songs are delightful in this one, though there are some that are not that memorable. Not that they're bad, it's just that they're not that good. And it stands out when the rest of the material is excellent. I This is the best we've seen from Slim Shady in years!

    Album is a 9/10 there is only 1 song I don’t care for (one of those nights) and a few throw away bars. Overall the albums production is amazing, and Eminem’s flows are wide ranging (some better than others). He breaks the album in sections where he touches on his legacy being tarnished, politics, state of hip hop, and reflecting back on Kamikaze and earlier in his career, and his father.Album is a 9/10 there is only 1 song I don’t care for (one of those nights) and a few throw away bars. Overall the albums production is amazing, and Eminem’s flows are wide ranging (some better than others). He breaks the album in sections where he touches on his legacy being tarnished, politics, state of hip hop, and reflecting back on Kamikaze and earlier in his career, and his father. The theme of music to be murdered by seems to be a play on gun control, and his ability to “murder” a beat. That could be just be though. Favorite tracks: Premonition, Unaccommodating, you gon’ learn, Godzilla, darkness, leaving heaven, yah yah; never love again, marsh, little engine, locked up, farewell, no regrets, and I Will. Legitimately one of his best albums. Revival and Relapse are bad in there own ways, but anyone who hates on this album is just salty about something on the album or hates eminem stans and isn’t giving the project a fair chance. Eminem is at his best when he’s being vulnerable and talking about what’s in his brain, and I feel he does that here. Revival flopped because of poor mixing and producing with one to many corny bars. This is a far cry from that. Highly recommend.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great to hear Eminem embracing a more modern sound with some of the production choices. For much of the album he sounds more comfortable in his delivery, and seems to be less reliant on the choppy flows that made Revival such a grating listen. While some of his cornier bars were actually quite entertaining, he’s at his most painstakingly cringeworthy on the hooks. Some tracks such as ‘Marsh’, I found genuinely entertaining until he compared himself to a field and said he’s an extraterrestrial. I think the highlights on the album were when Em was just enjoying himself rather than trying to impress or prove a point. The fast rapping at the end of Godzilla ruined the track for me. Everyone knows he can do it but just because it sounds good, doesn’t take away from the fact that he squeezes in pure nonsense, aware that no one can criticise it if he says it too quickly for them to understand. In similar vein,, hearing another song about Em’s tumultuous upbringing feels like fam service, going back to Em’s edgy, cringey worst as you have to endure a 45 year old man whining about parental issues like an angsts 16 year old.… Expand

    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.

    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.
