5.0 / 10

All across his 10th album, the more things change, the more Eminem stays the same.

7 / 10

Eminem sounds inspired again on surprise new album and, for now, that is enough

His second album in less than a year is a grandstanding outing that doesn't live up to his standard

In case the title Kamikaze didn't provide a clear tell in regards to Eminem's state of mind, the cover art to this surprise 2018 album is an explicit parody of the Beastie Boys' 1986 debut, Licensed to Ill.

6 / 10

Eight months after the release of Revival, and without any clever billboards or marketing ploys, Eminem released Kamikaze — a conflicted pie...

(Aftermath/Interscope)

7 / 10

In keeping with the homage to the Beastie Boys' legendary Licensed to Ill on its cover, Kamikaze is about a white boy making a scene.

The hooks are middling and the moans at his critics get tedious – but a flurry of brutal potshots at witless SoundCloud rappers prove Eminem can still hit exhilarating heights

Eminem is right that music critics have taken a particular joy in dissecting his work.
