Like the January release, “Side B” features heavy Alfred Hitchcock-inspired imagery and musical sampling. This of course brings us to this Dec. 2020 release, “Music To Be Murdered By: Side B.” As the name would imply, it is a spiritual successor to “Music To Be Murdered By,” which was released only eleven months prior in January 2020. While Eminem’s follow-up releases, the surprise “Kamikaze” and “Music To Be Murdered By,” have both been notable improvements, that worry was still there. That album touts the lowest Metacritic score of his entire discography, tied only with a compilation album for his record label. For those who have not followed Eminem so closely, he has had a number of ups and downs over his storied career, but in my opinion there has been no “down” that could quite match that of “Revival,” his 2017 record. So when I heard that he might be releasing a new album in this past month, I was filled with a mix of excitement and dread that can only be attributed to a post-”Revival” drop. Between genuine, heartfelt apologies and poop jokes, Eminem’s latest album release, “Music To Be Murdered By: Side B” leaves much to be explained. I have been a fan of Eminem for a time soon after the release of “The Marshall Mathers LP 2” in the mid-2010s.
