    This is album absolute unfair in the Rap Game. It's Insane and I can't believe how Good Eminem is. However, because of a fan base, they try to make this bad... Anyway, It's an amazing album by Eminem. I just want to say that fan base that Eminem raised around 2€ Million for the victims and what you did? don't skip music just because you get offended easily.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is amazing. As shown in the picture this album is slightly inspired by alfred Hitchcock. The features in this album are also amazing with features from slaughterhouse (besides joe budden for obvious reasons), young M.A, Royce multiple time and the late juice world(rip). Almost every song is amazing besides the kinda night which is still good but has a bit of corny bars and an old school feel. In every song has very complex bars and double entandres with farewell and darkness being one big double entendre. All in all this album is almost perfect and is a must buy if you are an eminem fan or a fan of complicated bars, double entendres, and lyrics.… Expand

    Sounded boring at first time listening, now i been listening to the whole stuff for the 4th time and it definetly grew on me, i get some type of the eminem show+encore feel mixed with kamikaze at some point, definetly a good one

    Stronger delivery compared to kamikaze. Eminem, tries to be more relevant by using much better beats than he used to, and delivering a better flow. Even though there are few cringy songs, the album stands out. Songs little engine, premonition, darkness and you gon' learn are my personal favorite and are on constant repqt

    I think it's a modern classic for Eminem(even though it has flaws.. even the flaws are pretty enjoyable), he has improved upon a lot of stuff.. and it would have been a really good album without the 2-3 love songs and the Ed Sheeran one, production is a step up.. honestly it's an 8.. but immma be a little bias and rate it a 10 over here cuz surely people are gonna rate it 0 just cuz itI think it's a modern classic for Eminem(even though it has flaws.. even the flaws are pretty enjoyable), he has improved upon a lot of stuff.. and it would have been a really good album without the 2-3 love songs and the Ed Sheeran one, production is a step up.. honestly it's an 8.. but immma be a little bias and rate it a 10 over here cuz surely people are gonna rate it 0 just cuz it doesn't deserve such high rating… Expand

    Great album, Kamakazie was very good but this is pure Slim Shady rocking it once again. Personally it is his best album. Mixing new styles of raping with his traditional mcing is just perfect.

    I think this album is probably one of his best all time after the classic three. It’s way up there, and deserves a lot of praise. Even the songs that aren’t as good are still pretty good listens. The production is consistently excellent and Darkness might be New Em‘s Stan.
    EDITED: After a couple of listens, this is one of his best.

    Eminem is the best rapper of history so we alwayes expect him the best albums .
    Music to be murdered by is a great album and everything about that is strong
    Eminem shows everyone another time that he is the best and no one can fight with him .

    Unlike Revival, Marshall has learned to be more subtle and nuanced with his political tracks. And unlike Kamikaze, Slim has found a medium for lyricism and making great music.

    2030 is starting with a high bar put by Eminem. An album that expresses a thousand feelings within a word. A true work of magic just as we waited for since Curtain Call.

    Just masterpiece from shady blending hip hop and horror core with his violent outbursts attracting middle America like his old days..!! Just lean back and enjoy and be happy for his longevity. Critics rating it mixed are not in right place of mind, make an album instead of criticising and show ur worth!!

    Great album, easily the best album since Recovery. It has the Slim Shady vibe to it and Em delivers some of the rawest lyrics he has delivered in a good period of time. The beat selection for the project was pretty good, besides from the song "Yah Yah", which could have been a great song.

    Solid album ft the real slim shady and the drDre. What more could we ask for? Not sure y people are hating on it, controversy is what he does best. Some bangers but I think the weeknd or the likes should have done Ed’s verses, just didn’t fit the pace. Otherwise definitely one of he’s best albums in recent years.

    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.
