    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...

    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.

A brilliant return to form if kamikaze was slim shady resurfacing then this is him back at his full controversial form although I don’t agree with the Manchester bombing reference you can expect that kinda stuff from Eminem. However even though people argue argue that darkness doesn’t make sense because of the bombing reference on a earlier song it does make sense Eminem has been very much so open about his stance on guns. And following in the form of mmlp2 and revival he also tempts to sort of reconcial with his dad Expand

    A desperate attempt at reconciling with the new generation but with so much resistance, that it leads to a bloated collection of mediocrity with soms bright spots like Darkness. Album doesn't know what it's going for and like most Eminem albums, has little to no cohesiveness.

    Eminem just needs to retire honestly, he’s washed up and boring. Massively overrated and his prime was over a decade ago. Album was BORING, mediocre bars, stupid filler punchlines that serve no substance except to be “clever” on par with newer Lil Wayne, terrible takes on pop culture, even the beats weren’t anything to remember. Maybe I just need to drink more Mountain Dew and put on someEminem just needs to retire honestly, he’s washed up and boring. Massively overrated and his prime was over a decade ago.

    It’s not as bad as it could have been. Still doesn’t deserve the rating it currently has but it is far better than his latest projects

    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

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love this album, I live by it. It’s so trash I love it. It starts trash, and ends trash, I love it. And as an Eminem Stan, Trash music is what I love the most. From the **** hooks, to the trash mixes, I love it, it’s so so so so trash I love it. Don Toliver carried this album with black thought it’s great trash work. Eminem has been going from trash to trashier I love it. I think this is better than Slim Shady LP and Marshall Mathers because of hiw trash this is. Loved it. Expand

    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.

    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.
