Nov 11, 2015nothing more than a handful of xerox, innovative nothing, nothing again the same old thing, it's not for nothing that always comes out in the media scandals with her name, she's all artificial and tries to portray a false feminism.
-
Jun 20, 2014Mais uma prova de que nem tudo que a crítica aclama,é bom.
Talvez esse 85 no Metacritc sejam pelas vendas,que sim,foram altas,mas não compraram a qualidade desse album.
Continuo achando que I Am...Sasha Fierce é seu único bom album. -
Mar 20, 2014Average album. I only like Pretty Hurts, Drunk In Love, Yonce and Blue. To be serious, other songs made me bored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jan 19, 2014I think this is Beyonce best work to date! The level of musicality, topics she discusses and vocal maturity really shows us why she is one of the best in the music industry.

Feb 27, 2014THIS IS THE WORSE ALBUM OF BEYONCÉ, WITHOUT THE WOOOOOOOOOOW THAT "4" AND I AM SACHA FIRCE SHOWS THIS ALBUNS SHOW A BEYONCE MORE VULNERABLE AND BORING

Dec 22, 2013O álbum me surpreendeu, mas não da forma avassaladora como ao público em geral. As tracks são de qualidade indiscutível, o trabalho da Beyoncé com certeza amadureceu, mas ainda não o considero o melhor.

Jan 31, 2014I was told to listen to it because ITS SOOO GOOOD apparently, no beyonce album has bored me like this one, overrated crap imo. Everyone has become complacent towards her and its obvious
-
Dec 18, 2013at the beginning i really though that was all about her strategy, but i was surprised by this album, which is definitely her best. it's different, more mature
-
Mar 15, 2014Her best yet. It is most certainly, most determined to be only about the music. It abandoned inspiring messages, marketing, and everything else to be able to make an album so perfectly woven together, it's simply a masterpiece. The crown jewel is Ghost, which uses such ambient and soft sounds, so quiet yet it speaks louder than any of her R&B songs. Good job, Queen Bee. Good job.

Jan 6, 2014Not impressed by this album at all. Every song is boring and unoriginal. I don't see a single hit song on this album. The only song I did like was "BLOW" which can't be played on the radio.
-
Jan 4, 2014Esperava um álbum muito melhor da Beyoncé, e ela lança este comprimido para dormir. Senti falta de músicas dançantes, há algumas músicas boas mas o resto não se aproveita. A melhor coisa do álbum mesmo o conceito.
-

Mar 4, 2014Beyoncé's voice is good, it's indisputable... Bút I tried much to listen the full album. It's so hard to feel such tunes. I hope she will return to her before style "single ladies"
-
Dec 19, 2014I have only one word to say about this album: FLAWLESS, Beyonce will always be Beyonce, for she got the style, voice, looks, lyrics EVERYTHING. I can predict that this album will be a success
-
Sep 7, 2015horrible album, make me sleep, the only song that's good, is Pretty hurts, the others make me sick, please, back to sasha fierce, is your only way to be great again

Dec 17, 2014Cabe resaltar que Beyoncé ha sido capaz de hacer ver un album meramente experimental para su estilo como si desde el inicio de su carrera fuese una artista madura y una genio del R&B de la nueva era.
-
Feb 12, 2015Brilliant album! Not only did the Queen defy the tradition and shatter records, this album is a visual and artistic masterpiece! She truly understands that music is a whole experience, for the ears and the eyes!
-
Mar 4, 2014Welcome back " Queen B " Beyonce has really brought out honesty and boldness in this album, expressing her music in a very experimental way. You rock !!!
-
Aug 30, 2014O que esperar de uma artista com 17 Grammys e tantos marcos na carreira? Que ela se acomode. Mas Beyoncé faz o contrário, prova o seu valor cada vez mais e mostra que não tem a mínima pretensão de deixar os holofotes da indústria. Tem 1 Grammy pra cada ano de carreira e se depender desse álbum, terá mais um para cada próximo ano que virá.
-
Nov 17, 2015The Masterpierce, Bey pegou todos de surpresa com esse hinário conceitual.
Faixas pra dançar: Partition, XO e Blow.
Faixas Cult: Mine e Superpower.
3º melhor dela. -
Feb 17, 2015
-
May 4, 2015her best effort as of yet. Sonically this album is a masterpiece and visually stunning. It emotes so much emotion it's almost tangible. In closing Beyoncé has proved yet again why she
-
Jul 12, 2019Beyonce is a very good performer, has a unique personality, voice and whatsoever... but critics just love her in a way that's too close to lick her booty rather than to actually judge her albums. This album was a big delusion for me, even if i appreciated her visuals.
One word: OVERRATED. -
Nov 6, 2015Esse sem duvidas é um dos melhores albuns da história da musica e com certeza o melhor da década. Com toques de Urban barroco com pitadas de rococó, Beyoncé provou que ainda não vai deixar de reinar no mundo da musica tão cedo, e espero que não mesmo, não podemos perder uma das artistas mais importantes do mundo.
-
Aug 7, 2022No soy taaan fan de este disco, pero es indudable el impacto que tuvo, cambió por completo las reglas del juego.
-
Apr 30, 2016It was undoubtly the best album of 2010s decade until Beyonce outdid herself with her best album "Lemonade" One of my Top 10 albums of all time. One can say this album is "Flawless".
Top 3 tracks -
1. Drunk In Love
2. Flawless
3. Haunted -
Jan 4, 2017The grand album of the year 2013. This era Beyoncé the most interesting and "Delicious". Tracks are very different, but the video unites them. Beyonce blew late 13th and early 14th year!
-
Jul 13, 2019Loved the album filled with so many classics and hot songs truly a blessing to hear them
-

Mar 27, 2020BEYONCÉ is timeless. You can say the same for Beyoncé's entire discography. It deserves universal acclaim just for its release alone. She really changed the music industry.

Aug 5, 2020Revolucionário, Visionário e Inovador!!!! O impacto desse album foi muito importante para a industria fonográfica, desde a forma como foi lançado ao conceito do album q ousava em trazer um clipe para cada faixa, sendo lançado de surpresa mas vendendo horrores kkkkk Foi realmente um marco para o cenário pop e sempre será lembrado pela sua influencia!!!! RAINHA
-
Aug 10, 2020ATEMPORAL!!!! O album q, a partir do seu lançamento, moldou a industria fonográfica para nunca mais ser a mesma. Se isso n for impacto nada mais é kkkkk O impacto da Beyoncé na musica está sendo cada vez mais presente e notório, fazendo com q ela se torne uma artista memorável, e ela merece muito. RAINHA!!!!!
-
Sep 16, 2020No me gusto creo que sobrevarolan mucho la música de Beyonce regalando la tantos premios que se lo merecen otros artistas su álbum carece de mensajes y melodías relevantes siempre.
-
Oct 14, 2022Beyoncé break the rulles and give us the best album of 2013. Global icon, she breaks the internet and, after this, nothing are as before.

May 11, 2014Out of the few female R&B artists of note, Beyonce is the best going round & this album stamps her authority.
Standout Tracks: Drunk in Love, Partition, Blue, Heaven, Superpower. -
Jan 9, 2014
-
Jan 1, 2014Beyonce shocked us all when she released her self-titled album without any sort of promotion or any indication she was working on her new record. This album is less commercial than her previous efforts but channels more soul and depth than a lot of her pop/r&b contemporaries.
-
Aug 25, 2014Beyoncé (album) states that not only Beyoncé (singer) can surely master the art of audiovisual creativity, but can unite power, consistency and, of course, a beautifully placed voice in one single piece of heaven. With songs that go from a desperate perfection-addiction to an acute case of nymphomania, there's no need to doubt why she is called Queen B. She's earned the crown anyway, hands down.
-
Dec 13, 2015Sem dúvida alguma, esse é um dos melhores trabalhos de Beyoncé. Espero que seu próximo álbum, seja tão bom quanto esse, e que ela consiga novamente envolver seus fãs, com um trabalho tão íntimo quanto esse.
2 YEARS OF BEYONCE -
Jun 23, 2014Bee's historical album!
and it's amazing that she tried colorful music and MV.
especially I love "Ghost", "XO", "Mine", "Haunted", "Yonce" and so on...
absolutely her revolutionary album!!! -

May 23, 20146 months after the release, I am still charmed by it.
experimental sounds are mesmerizing!
this record is the least commercial of her, ba a large margin and I lvoe it!
well done bey! -
Feb 26, 2014Ótimo CD/DVD, nada se compara aos lançados em 2013!
PERFEIÇÃO, é a palavra que define completamente esse álbum!
Beyoncé é ótima em tudo que cria/lança! -
Mar 15, 2014
-
May 30, 2014The album, while it was enjoyable, I didn't see it as the masterpiece everyone is making it out to be. The songs were catchy and unforgettable, but it wasn't different from any other Beyonce album that I've heard.
-
Mar 21, 2015Probably,Beyonce's the best album.No traditional R&B like in previous albums.A lot of genres in album-R&B,pop,dubstep,soul,hip-hop,chillwave,trap...Supports her title "R&B-diva".
-
Jun 3, 2014Great album! The videos, the songs, the surprise release ... I like the simplicity of the songs. Here Beyoncé sings about personal things like relationship between mother and child, death, sex (in a romantic way), relationship problems, etc..
Highlights: Jealous, Pretty Hurts, XO, Flawless and Blow. -
Jul 7, 2014
-
Jul 11, 2014I think this is the best album of Beyoncé. She can go from calm and lovely song even more powerful song, taking his impeccable voice without losing control of your tunes.
-
Sep 10, 2014Gosto muito da Beyoncé,mas esse álbum não me agradou. O álbum foi um estouro na época,já que foi lançado de surpresa,então achei que seria um ótimo álbum,mas ele é apenas mediano. Existem músicas muito boas,como Pretty Hurts e XO,mas a maior parte do álbum não é boa. A Bey consegue ser melhor que isso.
-
Sep 6, 2014O álbum BEYONCÉ foi uma surpresa para todos, quando foi lançado de surpresa no iTunes, e ele surpreendeu a muitos. Depois de ouvi-lo, formulei uma opinião própria: é um album mediano. Não que seja ruim. BEYONCÉ é um álbum com músicas lentas em sua maioria e também são muito compridas. Dangerously, I Am... Sasha Fierce e 4, em minha opinião, são bem melhores do que esse álbum.
-
Sep 19, 2014Sem dúvida o melhor album de 2013. Bey surpreendeu a todos, com uma majestosa surpresa. "BEYONCE" mescla um pop/r&b, com pegadas hip-hop. Destaque para BOOTS, um dos melhores produtores desse album.
-
Oct 11, 2014Experimental and Artistic, Personal and Sexual. BEYONCÉ sounds like that or even more. Lyrically, Queen B puts her emotions and she's not afraid, Instrumentally sometimes falls but still great.
-
Nov 30, 2014
-
Jan 21, 2016Para começar, esse não é meu álbum favorito dela. Porém é inegável que é o que tem mais qualidade em toda sua carreira. As intros, as letras, os vocais, parece que tudo se encaixa para formar a obra de arte que esse álbum é. Sem mencionar a evolução da Beyoncé do DIL até esse magnífico e mágico álbum.

Feb 2, 2015A completely overrated album, few good songs, nothing impressive or good at all I think this is her most overrated album of all time, actually beyonce have better ones.
-
May 30, 2015
-
Apr 18, 2015It is simply brilliant, just like Beyonce's other albums. She's a star, a powerful, confident woman and those qualities are shown in this masterpiece. The songs are great like always.
-
May 29, 2016BEYONCE se tornou um álbum nada experimental, mas totalmente produzido e estruturado em volta de críticas sociais(Pretty Hurts, ***Flawless, Superpower), questões pessoais(Heaven, Mine) e muitos outros conceitos. O álbum pode ser considerado um dos melhores da carreira de Beyoncé, atrás apenas do seu último lançamento, LEMONADE. Se isso não é uma obra-prima, eu não sei o que é.
-
Jun 15, 2015Foxes é maravilhosa. Eu amo tudo o que ela faz, tudo bem feito, impecável. Coisa de artista de verdade, é uma pena ver que não tem o reconhecimento merecido.
-
Jul 13, 2015Some songs are very good, others are boring . I love tour Mrs Carter, who was antecedent to this album , however this album promo tour with her husband of the singer, Jay Z , was a bore !

Jan 16, 2016By far her best album ever released. She has improved so much and "BEYONCÉ" is full of great and interesting beats. Her vocals are incredible, as always, but mature as never were before
-
Jan 16, 2016Beyonce never sounded so mature in any of her previous releases. The album seems so weel constructed. It tells her story and the real beyonce that not everybody knows.
-
Jan 16, 2016She has always been called queen, but never showed a queen material. This has changed when this album was released, bu far her most mature and well produced album
-
May 29, 2016
-
Jan 23, 2021Beyoncé opens up about her sexual and emotional life while subtly experimenting with different production elements that were key for the change in R&B, but above all that, she seems to be enjoying every moment of it, which makes for a lot of gems. If you don't think this is the album with the most bops, you're just wrong. It's the album that made me fall in love with Beyoncé.
-
Apr 24, 2016A very complete album, with political and social nature very large, beyond all intelligence and genius involved in this disc comes several taboos such as "sex" in a relaxed way.
-
Apr 25, 2016Beyoncé's self titled fifth album is her first step through a new level of music, that brings us an incredible sound full of modern instrumentals and a great contribution by BOOTS. 'Drunk in Love' and 'XO' despite being so differents are such great records. A cohesive and strong record, for sure!
-
Apr 25, 2016This album changed my life; love everything about it and have listened to it almost every day since it came out 2.5 years ago. It establish Bey as an icon whose name can be billed next to Prince, Michael, and Madonna.
-
Jul 25, 2020Estou dando nota 10 em todos os álbuns da Beyoncé porque ela merece. Com certeza, esse álbum visual merece 10. Eu amo você, Beyoncé.
-
Apr 28, 2016Primeiro álbum visual de Beyonce não poderia ter sido tão bom quanto a altura do talento dela. Cheio de músicas provocantes e gostosas de se ouvir, esse álbum se torna um dos melhores de sua carreira.
-
Apr 28, 2016BIBLIA VISUAL! Oh meu Deus, Beyoncé é tão revolucionária em lançar um álbum visual de surpresa com uma sonoridade maravilhosa como é o BEYONCÉ. Parabéns!
-
May 31, 2016Perfect 10! She is the most talented, beautiful, magnificent woman on earth. Beyonce on this album shows her vulnerability and when she is mostly desiring of. From 90s inspired song Blow, to suggestive songs like Drunk In Love and Partition and songs where she shows her vulnerability like Jealous and where she shows that she is Queen Bee and sets the internet on fire!
-
Jul 30, 2016
-
Oct 18, 2017Some song are good and catchy ! I think about Yoncé / Particion, Jealous, 7/11 or Flawless ! I really appreciate the message and the tune of Pretty Hurts ! And how forget the amazing Drunk In Love (btw the remix on the Platinum Edition is awesome) But I find the rest of the album is too soft, all songs are the same, none stands out !
-
Aug 30, 2016UnderRated just like all Her Albums. No Fillers, Lesser thans but no fillers. Its packed with some really great songs all throughout. Great Album. 5 stars. Collapse
-
Aug 30, 2016Amazing! The best Beyoncé album ever! Is everything and has everything i always wanted Beyoncé to do. She presents a perfect masterpiece and not everyone these days can do it like she can. Collapse
-
Oct 26, 2016Lacrou beyonceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Nov 4, 2016Posh Beyonce album, on which she carefully worked. Album with a bunch of samples and steep hits. Well done! Best album of Beyonce. I love Flawless, 7/11, Partition and Mine

Jun 17, 2017i love this album so much... it is amazing.. almost the haters here just don't like Queen B, but this album it is amazing i love it . my second best album for life... But lemonade it is my number one.
Awards & Rankings
-
Feb 14, 2014At its dizzying zenith, Beyoncé is a loaded fusion of generosity and self-empowerment. or perhaps, more accurately, it finds self-empowerment in generosity.
-
MojoFeb 11, 2014It's this continued need to feed her multi-platinum beast that stops the album from being the post-modern wheeze it could have been. [Mar 2014, p.94]
-
Jan 23, 2014Though there are a million details about BEYONCÉ to examine--from the release strategy to the visual aspect and more--the strongest ideas are still found solely in the music. She addresses topics like beauty, body image, miscarriages, jealousy, sexuality, marriage, motherhood and self-worth.
