    This is possibly the most boring piece of crap "album" I have ever heard. SO BORING. Oh my god, so incredibly boring. Every song is exactly the same. This is barely even music. Just, oh god. This album getting good reviews is just totally unbelievable.

    It’s a master-stroke on a landmark record of staggering intelligence, depth and musicality.

    She draws you into the shadows and crumbling concrete of America, a nation in which, as Knowles pointed out in a recent online essay, “a former Ku Klux Klan leader is running for Louisiana senator.” [Dec 2016, p.54]

    Here's an album of beautiful R&B songs, and she's chosen to intersperse them with messages of black empowerment.
