Aug 23, 2022Beyonce is a living legend of our time, undervalued for the great artist who is none like her
The greats masterpiece -
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, 2013Its a good album. but of course with every album they are the letdowns or the songs that provide a poultry deliverance..But i love this album the songs,pretty hurts,XO,partitions,Mine,Drunk On Love,Flawless,Heaven,Haunted and Jealous are really good... so Queen B, just put the middle finger to all the haters well done
-
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.
-
Dec 14, 2013OH MY GOSH i was like what the f***? Beyconcé is amazeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeng i really liked the album and the videos are so..BEYONCÉ haha she saved this year's music.

Dec 13, 2013The Best Surprise Ever... This album reached the people more than a publicid of 3 months, everybody got surprised and loved that surprise, No one could do better this than her! Very well done.
-
Dec 13, 2013Really great album. It shows how diverse she truly is. She is able to belt a ballad and show restraint in more vulnerable songs. She can rap and dance, looking great doing it. As a whole, Bey's best album to date. I particularly love 'Yonce/Partition and Superpower.
-
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 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!!!
-
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!!! -
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 !!!
-
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.
-
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".

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. -
Aug 7, 2022No soy taaan fan de este disco, pero es indudable el impacto que tuvo, cambió por completo las reglas del juego.

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.

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.

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
-
Dec 16, 2013Ratings! It's not the male bashing/women empowering stuff we are used to hearing from Beyonce. Very good album. My only criticism is that certain songs like Superpower featuring Frank Ocean and Mine featuring Drake sound like the featured artists written works respectively and Beyonce just lends her vocals for the songs, puts it on the album and calls it her own.
-
Dec 19, 2013She can cause many feelings here, sadness, love, happiness, aggression. And in all cases, in the highest and best way possible.
Do not say it is the best cd I've ever heard, or even that it is the best of the year, but after that cd, Beyoncé showed he can do a little of everything, and what a pop star really is. -

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 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.
-
Dec 17, 2013Her best album so far due to a different style of production. Other artists and pass albums influenced the great experimental production, the lyrics, and the concept of this album; for example, "The Black Album" by Jay-Z and "Voodoo" by D'Angelo. This is the singer's most impressive album to date and one of the best critical acclaim albums of 2013.

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. -

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.
-
Dec 16, 2014(Already counting on the Platinum Edition) I can not understand all this love that people have for this album, it really is a good album, but not the best of Beyoncé, many his songs make me sleep and I can not hear whole, the lucky for you there are great songs that save the album.
Highlights: Partition and Drunk In Love
Lows: Superpower and No Angel -
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 !
-
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 !
-
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

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.
-
Mar 20, 2014Average album. I only like Pretty Hurts, Drunk In Love, Yonce and Blue. To be serious, other songs made me bored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
-
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. -
Dec 21, 2013In the end, it's just another Beyonce album. Produced without flaws, sung without issues. It's perfectly boring and completely uninspiring; there were far better pieces of music released this year, but then again, none of them were by Beyonce.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

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"
-
Feb 1, 2014all songs are the same. This album has no vision. is boring, tedious and not at all innovative. people like it because it's beyonce, if he had published another artist, no one would like.

Feb 23, 2014A horrible album. I did not like any songs. The only decent song in this album was 'Drunk in Love', even then, it is average at best. Not a good album. This album fell below my expectations. Boo you, Beyonce.

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. -
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
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
-

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
-
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.

Mar 19, 2021Musically, it's the same kind of electro R&B with which radio is already awash--in large part because it's produced by the same small coterie of hip producers, with Timbaland appearing to take the most prominent role amongst the likes of Detail, Jerome Harmon, Pharrell Williams and Ryan Tedder.
-
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.
-
Mar 3, 2023This album has it's highs and lows. Personally, Rihanna is way better and is the queen.
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.
