    Eminem's ability to still rap at this high level well into his late 40's is beyond impressive. His passion for music is evident in the work he put into this project. This album is easily my favorite album since MMLP2. Bravo Marshall Mathers!

    This album was amazing. Unfortunately there have been plenty of low ratings on here by Eminem haters since they found out on twitter that this became the highest rated rap album in user scores.

    This album to me proves he can do whatever any person asks of him, he can be shady, he can be Marshall, or he can be Eminem, but no matter what he does theres always gonna be that one set of people who arnt happy or just hating or even jelouse

    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

    This album is a solid 7/10. Definitely a return to form for Eminem, and his best album since MMLP2. Not perfect, but I hope this is the start of an upswing for Em. Great production and features, but some songs are held back by iffy lines and dull production.

    Absolutely incredible. The production, lyrics, delivery, and beats are incredibly well done. I have listened to this album all the way through more than 15 times and I must say this is one of his best work of all time. People who lack common sense, are snowflakes and can't be adults about emotion, or think they know rap will hate this album and that is amazing.

    Well done, Em.

    Not good. Eminem hasn't had a good project since the turn of the century. Unfortunately for the music community, he's easily got the most dickrider fans in the industry. Strong 0.

    Best Eminem album in years. Every track is a banger and the features (except Young M.A.) are great! Darkness has a huge meaning and is one of the best story telling songs Eminem has ever done (up there with Stan, Bad Guy, Arose, etc.)! Godzilla is very catchy and is the albums most popular song.

    Incredible artist that provides his fans with so much to appreciate. Never half asses his work, he clearly puts everything he has into expressing how he feels through music while bringing creative flows, voices, rhyme schemes, voices, metaphors, lessons, stories, visualizations and on and on and on, this dude is a legend and inspiration.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I personally love every song on this album. I put it up with Marshal Mathers LP, Slim shady LP, and The Eminem Show. He destroyed every beat on the record and his wordplay is outta this world. And the Bombing line was one of my favorites because it reminds me if the Columbine line I'm back.… Expand

    I think it's a modern classic for Eminem(even though it has flaws.. even the flaws are pretty enjoyable), he has improved upon a lot of stuff.. and it would have been a really good album without the 2-3 love songs and the Ed Sheeran one, production is a step up.. honestly it's an 8.. but immma be a little bias and rate it a 10 over here cuz surely people are gonna rate it 0 just cuz itI think it's a modern classic for Eminem(even though it has flaws.. even the flaws are pretty enjoyable), he has improved upon a lot of stuff.. and it would have been a really good album without the 2-3 love songs and the Ed Sheeran one, production is a step up.. honestly it's an 8.. but immma be a little bias and rate it a 10 over here cuz surely people are gonna rate it 0 just cuz it doesn't deserve such high rating… Expand

    Eminem with this album is just toying around the hip hop world. Trying everything all at once. He has evolved into a lyric machine who can switch flow to match any beat on this planet. Also in this album he turned to a little modern hip hop by adding catchy hooks and flow that keep the new kids stuck to it. So 10/10

    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.
