    Eminem tried harder and in this album he wanted to satisfy more rap listeners than a specific group. I loved it, album mood is too crazy and catching.

    Violent, corny, goofy, genius and INSANE lyrics. Eminem displays his lyrical ability and his creativity that he's know for while murdering the modern day "mumble rap" beats. This is a slap in the face of today's rap culture that implies that rappers can't be lyrical in certain types of beats. Eminem murders every single line in a vicious and fast lyrical rampage. Great and really unexpected features. This is best album we've seen from Eminem since MMLP2, and he delivers it. Absolutely phenomenal and unexpected.
    The replay value of this album is a bit of a hit and miss, while I personally disliked a few songs, and already put a few others in my rap playlist, this is an album we'll be remembering for sure.
    Eminem shows us that he can indeed wake up Slim Shady and deliver a hell of an album if he feels like it.
    The complains are personal picks, I absolutely hate when he screams at the mic, he needs to stop doing that, his accents and voice changes are perfect, don't need to ruin that with screaming.
    He should also stop singing, a little bit of singing is fine but I've noticed this has been increasing since MMLP2 and it doesn't need to.
    He should also try and incorporate Slim Shady in a few classic beats and flows like he did in MMLP and The Eminem Show.
    Overall, this is a great album, it deserves the love, and sets Eminem in a really great path to achieve the perfect album again.    … Expand

    Great concept, great storytelling, great metaphors and punchlines and double/triple entendres, great features, great beats, record breaking rapid fire spitting, experimentation and growth all coupled in with with the controversy and disses we have come to expect from an Eminem album. This album also balances the sound of the 90's era and the modern hip hop sound.

    I have been hearing this    Great concept, great storytelling, great metaphors and punchlines and double/triple entendres, great features, great beats, record breaking rapid fire spitting, experimentation and growth all coupled in with with the controversy and disses we have come to expect from an Eminem album. This album also balances the sound of the 90's era and the modern hip hop sound.

    I have been hearing this is regarded as his best album since the Eminem show and even though I've also loved his recent works I have to agree

    What's more impressive is Eminem has pulled this off after more than 20 years into his Career after already becoming the bestselling artist of the 21st Century, 2000's artist of the decade, best selling male artist of the 2010's, achieving 9 no. 1 beduing solo albums (+3 no.1 group albums) in 2 other decades and this will likely be his record breaking 10th no.1 in a 3rd decade. He has also birthed and influenced many of the most popular artists today and Let's not even get started on Awards, which of course don't mean everything but certainly carry some weight.

    This is an artist who has remained on top through the casette/CD era, the Napster/illegal download era, the digital/social media era, and now the streaming era. Looking forward to Eminem dominating the next era    … Expand

    An amazing work, by the GOAT himself (as he says in the premonition intro). Top 3 for sure, after The Eminem Show and MMLP

    I can't decide which song I don't like. The entire album features a powerful flow that screams perfection. Lol, it seems like the critics are going ballistic over Paddock's impersonation just out of obligation.

    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.
