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
-
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".
-
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
-
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!
-
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!
-
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.
-
Jun 15, 2018Álbum incrível! Essencialmente R&B, mescla com um pop e hip-hop, um dos melhores álbuns de 2013/2014.
-
Jun 20, 2018Beyonceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
-
Jul 20, 2019Beyoncé é definitivamente a maior artista de todos os tempos. Trabalhos coesos e com tamanha importância cultural.

Jul 29, 2022Her best album..there's no argument..her best with visuals, lyrics, every single thing
-
Nov 12, 2022Esse álbum é magnífico, esse álbum é a própria perfeição! O melhor que já escutei até hoje. Poucos álbuns tem o poder de fazer a gente escutar todas as faixas seguidas, uma atrás da outra.
-
Dec 14, 2013Beyonce is definitely a woman who truly knows who she is and is not afraid to take charge. Her self titled "Visionary Album" "Beyonce" is an instant masterpiece, showcasing her divine talent and vocal prowess. She needs no gimmick and a whole team of publicity, all she needed is to put her name and everyone take notice. The album is simple with so much soul and passion.
-
Dec 14, 2013Melhor álbum de Beyoncé maduro e inovador, diferente de tudo que ela já fez ao longo da carreira,
Beyoncé se mostra verdadeiramente uma "Grown Woman" nesse novo trabalho, que sabe o poder de sedução que tem e está disposta a usá-lo.
Agora sentar e aguardar os Grammys! -
Dec 13, 2013Beyoncé's self titled fifth studio album comes as a big surprise but a good surprese the cd is amazing, the songs are sweet and pretty! The best cd of the year, good album, amazing songs and amazing videos!

Jul 17, 2014OMG, this album sucks, is the same freaking kind of R&B, nothing change about influences or beats, it's all the same. Is so easy make money like this.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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

Jan 10, 2020this album is perfection. Beyoncé outdid herself. she took a risk and it payed off. what many people don’t realise is how vocally amazing this album is. every song is beyond amazing. a true body of work.
-
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!!!!!
-
Mar 22, 2021she is talking about sexuality and stardom and motherhood. remember this was made after she gave birth to her first child and the industry really doesn't encourage mothers to be stars so this an album for women and mothers, in general, to feel okay in their bodies
-
Aug 21, 2022This album is perfect. Her vocals are amazing and this is such a cohesive album. Thank you Beyoncé for this masterpiece !
-
Dec 13, 2013She has truly outdone every prior album with this work. Her work flows so effortlessly and the visual accompaniments add so much value to the work as a whole, nothing looks or feels forced. I hope everyone looks past their personal biases about Beyonce and let the MUSIC speak for itself.

Dec 14, 2013The most urban album of Beyoncé's career. The biggest surprise of the year. The most incredible music videos of B are here. An evolution in your music, style and attitude.
-
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
-
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! -
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. -

Apr 30, 2018I feel like this album solidified Beyoncé's icon status as it showcased her artistry more compared to her previous albums. Arguably one of the best R&B albums of all time, though it is obvious that there are many genres mixed perfectly in this excellently cohesive record.
-
Feb 8, 2019Sin lugar a dudas, BEYONCÉ cambió el mundo de la música en 2013.
El concepto visual que ya lo había explorado con B'DAY y luego lo perfeccionaría con LEMONADE y la manera de lanzar por sorpresa, fueron los nuevos parámetros para otros artistas. -
Jul 19, 2019Thats amazing! Beyoncé changes the whole music industry with this album. With it she becomes a legend who can't be stopped. After ali these years she still make such PERFECT things. Beyoncé is ART
-

Apr 3, 2021Epitome of a great visual album. A cultural reset. The Queen of iTunes. The Greatest Of All Time.
-
Mar 27, 2020Beyoncé’s self tilted album is her best body of work. From start to finish she delivers amazing vocals, beats that make you want to dance, while also giving meaning to the words that are being sung. Packaged with a video for each song adding another layer to the genius.
-
Jul 25, 2020Game changing album! This album speaks volumes with so much lyric diversity and the visuals were by far the best about the album.
-
Jul 27, 2020Self-Titled was revolutionary in the way it was dropped by complete surprise by a major artist, and Bey sent the WORLD into a spin. The album is also still incredible years on.
-
Dec 11, 2020One of the greatest pieces of work i’ve ever heard... Every song tells a different story and the opening of the album is perfection.. Beyoncé did amazing as always

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 !

Dec 18, 2013This album is something completely unexpected from Beyoncé. You can see that she's really musically evolved with this album and it's refreshing to see. Whilst there may not be any obvious 'smash hits' on the album, I think it flows beautifully and is very well constructed. I absolutely adore it and definitely recommend it.
-
Dec 15, 2013All I can say is wow. Beyonce really brought it with this album without hype of promo! Every single song is special in its own way. I really cannot fault anything on this album.

Dec 13, 2013Beyoncé proves again that she is unpredictable, that's something that makes her bigger than other artists. She's always showing something new and this surprise album is one of the best things that happened this year.
-
Jan 21, 2014B put her foot into this one. This is all I am listening to right now. Videos are beautiful, she is beautiful, her baby is beautiful. I was just a regular fan before she dropped this album but I am now a full blown stan. Best album of the year!!

Dec 14, 2013Beyonce' fans all over the world have been waiting for her fifth album, and it doesn't disappoint. The theme of equality is apparent throughout the album. Beyonce' has one of the best voices in music, and uses it in many different ways. This is a true Hip-Hop/R&B album.
-
Dec 15, 2013This album is masterpiece that could change the history if music. And everybody giving it a negative or even mixed review is a hater... this album is a 10.
-
Dec 16, 2013Only someone who has a really great feel for their work can release it with ZERO fanfare and such confidence and that comes from a lot of passion and hard work which is very evident here. My first Beyonce album but so totally worth it!!!
-
Dec 16, 2013Beyoncé's self titled fifth album is a work of art. Its beauty lies in its concern not to necessarily produce standard pop hits, but to make good music, no matter how seemingly obscure the sound may be. Every song on this album is excellent, and as a whole, this is a very cohesive piece of work it's just really great. "Blow" "Rocket" and "Pretty Hurts" are my favorites.
-
Dec 16, 2013It's new Beyoncé for this time.She made a change for the game,a story with each song.She doesn't only make music,but tell a story to us this time.One album,whole story for her life so far.Inspiring,Fantastic,and touching my heart.Thank you,Beyoncé.

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.

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.
