    This album is honestly Brilliant, I don't think you can really formulate an opinion of it until you listen to it a few times through, people are going to love or hate eminem regardless of what he does but the lyrical depth and wordplay are masterclass on this album, the beats and general vibe of the album are diverse but not random or misplaced.

He does a good job of picking features that don't compromise on talent but still give a nod to the old school and newer artists at the same time. The more I listen to it the more I can appreciate the depth and effort that went into it… Expand

    Eminem’s ‘Music to be Murdered by’ is shallow attempt to recreate the edgy music Eminem was known for back in his early career, but without the edgy substance that his older music was known and felt like it was trying to not offend a single person. Which makes it un-edgy. Songs such as ‘Unaccommodating’ and ‘No Regrets’ just sound as far from an Eminem song as possible.

Which makes it un-edgy. Songs such as ‘Unaccommodating’ and ‘No Regrets’ just sound as far from an Eminem song as possible. Whilst the rest of the album just sounds like a generic Eminem song stripped down to its basic components replayed all over again with little tweaks. It’s only bearable song is ‘Godzilla’ and even though it’s been carried to the charts by the tragic death of Juice WRLD, Eminem’s part is extremely inferior to his piers section of the song. It’s not a tragic album, it’s far from a terrible project, but for an album that has been written and created by a artist with as much creative ability in writing and performing as Eminem it just feels like a lazy attempt to profit off of a generic format and style of rap music that he helped create and refine into a style that at its high points was the best in the world.… Expand

    truly amazing album, more complete than kamikaze. Great features, lyrically insane and the beats remind me of the early 2000s

    Some Strong Songs on this record for sure. But Some Are Definitely Bland. Production Can Be Better. In General a very OK album nothing special at all.
    Also Lyrics can be.......Very insensitive and Very stupid....like Very to he point where it’s cringey.

    The pure genius that can be witnessed within this project it's a new high for an artist who has managed to break records and push the boundaries when it comes to meaningful lyrics and embrace the definition of rap and it's honestly a breath of fresh air given the belittling level of lyricism in the new supposed rap genre.

    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.
