I think the song it samples shares the same title.AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM is the only track that confuses me. I agree with the title, this country is trash, but the song isn't about that seemingly. What am I missing? 😂
God this album is incredible. Also hilarious after Pitchfork revisited Random Access Memories and revised the raising lower because it didn't inspire a disco or dance resurgence… well they were a decade early.
They did the right thing. 6.8 is about right for RAMEnjoy.
Pitchfork Reviews: Rescored
We’ve all thought about it: Here are 19 album review scores that we’d change if we could.pitchfork.com
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 BeyonceWow she finally made a throughly enjoyable album from front to back. What a fantastic record!
Even her best album (Self Titled) has a few dips/snoozes here and there. And don't get me started on the overrated Lemonade.
4 is my fave as well. It's just a fun ass album.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.
Looking forward to the Club Renaissance-themed tour. It'll be insanely gay and fabulous.
I will refinance my house if I have to.

Is that when PopGAF was still trying to justify Artpop when and then Beyoncé just... appeared?
Even worse. Prism.Is that when PopGAF was still trying to justify Artpop when and then Beyoncé just... appeared?
This whole album was on rotation in every club in boystown chicago last night, was insane. Already officially soundtrack of the summer! I heard church girl rotated in A LOT, people are living for that song.

I think it's her best album, there are almost no low points on this
Yeah Lemonade is not that great. I would take 4, Beyonce, and Renaissance over itIt'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.
Since when did Dua Lipa create retro synth / nu-disco? Love Dua but that comment is wild to me.Virgo's groove sounds like Beyoncé covering Dua Lipa. That's a compliment
I don't know. It just sounds like a Dua lipa song to me.Since when did Dua Lipa create retro synth / nu-disco? Love Dua but that comment is wild to me.
