    Anyone who says this is trash is just a hater, I am sorry but it's true. This album is one of his best albums he made. However, I personally don't like every song like 2, max 3, but rest is masterpiece and this deserves all the best! Great! Awesome!

    His best since The Eminem Show.
    Album feels like a combination of MMLP, Relapse and Encore. He still doesn't give a damn about what people think. Still classic edgy jokes, jabs at other rappers and controversial lyrics. Lyrically he is great; less cornier bars, more clever lines.
    Album has the best production since Relapse. He finally stopped working with Rick Rubin and decided to work    His best since The Eminem Show.

    Album has the best production since Relapse. He finally stopped working with Rick Rubin and decided to work with hip hop producers.
    He still hit or miss about making hooks. But his hooks on this project definitely better than the ones on Revival and MMLP2. Darkness, Never Love Again, I Will, Unaccommodating have great hooks meanwhile hooks on Marsh and Little Engine are hard to listen.

    Favorite tracks: Leaving Heaven, Never Love Again, Godzilla    … Expand

    Best Em project since The Eminem Show. From the beginning to the end it was consistent and not as polarizing as his last few albums. Dre and Eminem compliment each other so much that it’s scary and the lyricism is top-tier. Not many lazy bars. Lyrically criminal!!!

    This album reminds me of some MMLP or SSLP sounds, a lot of lyric in their lyrics, the best of Darkness video with so much symbolism and message in a single song

    For people who don’t get the theme of the album it’s totally understandable basically this album is one of the greatest mixtures of eminem and slim shady and by changing the rhythm in every track and not continuing on the same emotional level

    This is exactly what people expected from Revival to sound like in terms of production. Eminem sounds great, his double entendras are very clever, fast-rap on Godzilla is absolutely supersonic. The album is more consistant than Kamikaze, yet it does not lack that crazy package of flows and puns. Lurically amazong, technique out oc this world, production the highest level. 10/10

    Lyrically amazing album. The word play is on point in the double meaning songs of Darkness and Never love again. I probably listened to Never love again 3 times before a noticed he was talking about his former addiction to opiates and not a women!

    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.
