    One of the best Eminem albums to date. When it comes to lyrics it doesn't disappoint and even exceeds high expectations when it comes to Eminem.

    He just sounds like a bitter old man as usual in quite a few spots of the album. The best song on the album "You gon Learn" belonged to Royce. A number of corny lines, just did not enjoy this album at all.

    Eminem is literally doing lyrical acrobatic rhymes in the entire album! Love the beats, he seems to be having fun with new producers and beats. Eminem is evolving ! I do not get the hate on Em, it’s as if hating on Em is the popular thing now a days. Amazing album in a good direction!

    This album will take you back to the glory days of Eminem. It's not as "pop-heavy" as some of his previous releases, excellent production value and gritty story telling reminiscent of the Slim Shady LP. I think there are few tracks to skip over for true fans of hip hop.

Sales are the only indisputable metric you can rely on when determining if an album is good and for that reason Eminem is the indisputable GOAT.    … Expand

    This album is an absolute masterpiece, let alone for someone with a career that’s been as successful as Eminem.

    These Eminem stans are ridiculous... This is the same boring corny ass music with the same lame fast raps about nothing with the same annoying staccato flow that he has had on his last few projects. This is so bad

    The best project Eminem has EVER delivered!
    Yes, even above The Marshall Mathers LP.
    This is a masterpiece!

    Everything I hope for in an Eminem album, and then some! There are a couple tracks I don't like as much, but I still don't change the song if my player is set to shuffle and one of them comes on, either.

    This is Em’s 4th classic. The production is infectious and the rhymes are the best of his career. So much to unpack here. Darkness is by far top 5 written song of Eminem’s career.

    Eminem shows improvement from past projects, but filler love songs and some straight up bad songs make the album a lower score.

    Best Tracks: Leaving Heaven, Little Engine, Lock it Up, No Regrets

    Worst Track: Stepdad

    Eminem is the best and always he will best for his fans, no matter how much his album earn and what position his album gets in by rating...you Kayne and Drake fans think you can beat stans by rating low with multiple accounts, that's what you learn from your idols but we are stans our idol is Rap god him self and he never told a us to cheat. Peace..

    I maybe a bit biased being a big Eminem fan but this album is actually so good! It has a bit of everything from previous, best features on an Eminem album since Relapse/Encore. His voice sounds refreshing while giving you a Encore sounding vibe. Each song is addicting and when you hear the whole album, it leaves you not knowing which song you wanna play again as they are so good.

Best hooks on an Em album in ages, a lot of them being himself as he usually has a female or of the sorts on the chorus in recent years. Even if you are not an Eminem Stan, you will be bumping this album after 1 play. One of my favourite songs has got to be Marsh. Enjoy!… Expand

    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.
