Must say this is ageing very well and she may as well just stop here.
 
Probably her most consistent album to date. I probably prefer 'Beyonce' but also I'd say it's lows are are lower. Some of her best work is on here. "Hold Up" "Sorry" "6 Inch" and "All Nite" absolutely slap. And "Freedom" and "Don't Hurt Yourself" work well at bringing some pounders.

New material please Yonce! (Good stuff please)

I will always prefer Self-Titled. It came out at the perfect moment, and I think it was the perfect mélange of sounds for Beyoncé, with elements of R&B, hip-hop, and pop seamlessly blended, and perfectly packaged and presented.

Lemonade felt a bit too stunt-ish, with the accompanying Jay-Z/Becky soap opera, but the album is very good - the final three tracks, in particular, being career-bests.

I think in time Lemonade will dismantle Beyoncé for me as her masterpiece.

For all the unnecessary shade she keeps getting about her recent music lacking tunes or hooks, I would say that the songwriting on Lemonade is stellar and probably stronger than on the self titled album.

And, oh! How good has time been to 4? But that's another topic.
 
Artistically it’s brilliant. But she’s trying too hard to be real music and in that she chose trill and trap, similar to Ariana, and it’s just... why would you do that, with such an amazing voice?

I also much prefer her self titled. That was her Butterfly - the perfect blend.

the best tracks are All Nite and 6 Inch and to be honest, they’re up there with her best.

easily her tightest record front to back. All Night is 100% that bitch.
 
Pretentious as all fuck.
it really isn't very pretentious :D I used to be of that view too, when I was looking for reasons to hate on her. but it's actually just a very confident, genre-hopping record with some great songwriting across the board.

I really cannot understand this comment at all :D genres include pop, reggae, rock, R&B and soul, but decidedly no trap or "trill"! an Ariana situation this is not.
