bey just dropped a classic, goddamn

church girl sounds like some early kanye, of course it's produced by no id.
this is very much feel-good music. like you want to get in a club or wherever and dance your ass off to this shit. a lots of love to various genres but not sounding derivative. she nailed the sound, the production and structure are on-point. world needed this shit right now lol

We’ve all thought about it: Here are 19 album review scores that we’d change if we could.
They did the right thing. 6.8 is about right for RAMEnjoy.

Haven't listened to Renaissance fully yet. I need to listen to it in full before I give my full impressions. I do appreciate that she went in such a different direction for herself while still making it distinctively Beyonce
However, I've low key found '4' to be her best album. I know it's unpopular but I actually enjoyed a lot of the tracks from Love On Top, Party, Schoolin Life, Countdown, I Miss You, 1+1, End of Time, I Was Here, and Run The World are all really solid, unique tracks. I thought Lemonade was her 2nd best as it all felt rather cohesive. Beyonce's self titled album is good and has some bops. However, I didn't find the whole album to be as cohesive as a body of work. I also felt that Beyonce played it a bit safe given the poor feedback from 4.
Man, Beyoncé's evolution as an artist has been so impressive. Ever since her album '4' she's been more and more experimental with her music and I love how her voice has matured over the years, it's deeper and grittier now, I effing love it.
Even if I'm not into some of the genres she explores here, I'm still finding it to be an impressive album. And there are still legit bangers in it, my favorites atm are "Cozy", "Cuff It", "Church Girl", "Virgo's Groove" and "Heated".

I need to listen to it one more time but my initial thoughts is that it's underwhelming thu I appreciate her being more experimental. It's just outside of one or two tracks nothing really stands out to me.
If we're ranking albums, I must agree that Selftitled is her best album. It's THE sound I want from Beyonce.

I've become that obnoxious gay that wants this playing in my ears 24-7

Nothing (except maybe my PhD dissertation) will stop me from going
I went to Beyoncé's Formation Tour date in New Orleans and it was the most impressive concert I've ever seen.
At least once a year, I revisit that thread and howl at the collective euphoria. ST aged pretty well despite my lack of interest in its more sedate tone (Partition and Blow are still eternal, though), but the highlight was the flex more so than the music.
Even Lemonade couldn't compare to that megaton bomb of a drop.

Is that when PopGAF was still trying to justify Artpop when and then Beyoncé just... appeared?
I had to do a road trip today to Sacramento. My wife loves this album so we played it in its entirety. My second listening. I just want to say to everyone here. YOU WONT BREAK MY SOUL!!!!! Sorry, it's stuck in my head
I think it's her best album, there are almost no low points on this
That said of my top 5 Beyonce songs none of them would be from here
edit:
took a look and these would be my top 5 no order
Formation
Partition
Love on Top
Countdown
Haunted

It's so strange that critics think Lemonade is her best. It's nowhere near my top 3. Feels like they're just judging it on cultural impact / the innate importance vs the music.
Yeah Lemonade is not that great. I would take 4, Beyonce, and Renaissance over it
This is a good album.
I've listened to Thique, Cuff It, Church Girl, and Pure/Honey the most.
Top 3 Beyonce albums for me would be:
1. Sasha Fierce
2. Beyonce
3. Lemonade
This is probably #4 or #5.

Since when did Dua Lipa create retro synth / nu-disco? Love Dua but that comment is wild to me.
This is shaping up to be her most acclaimed album and she's doing it without a visual, which benefited her last 2 albums. This is amazing to see.
