![]() ![]() Perhaps more importantly, Music to Be Murdered By is littered with diatribes against the critics who slammed Eminem’s last album, 2018’s Kamikaze, which in turn excoriated the critics who dunked on 2017’s Revival. There are flashes of caustic wit and technical wizardry, but they’re flanked by a gleeful admission of sexual harassment (“Those Kinda Nights”), a wishy-washy attempt at gun control advocacy (“Darkness”) and mockery of a modern-day terrorist attack (“Unaccommodating”). It is a lumbering, 20-song smorgasbord of wannabe pop-rap bangers, bombastic rap-rock clunkers, half-baked revenge fantasies and morose ballads. Quality may be subjective, but it’s hardly revelatory or controversial to suggest Music to Be Murdered By falls far short of the standards Eminem set with his triumvirate of classic albums: The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show. ![]()
