    After Lemonade and 4:44, this should have been one of the best albums of both artists career. Instead we’re left with a mediocre, forgettable album that doesn’t come close teaching either artists potential. The stand out songs are BLACK EFFECT and LOVEHAPPY. The other 7 songs are bland, unremarkable with sub-par lyrics.

    Worst collab albun of the year, no artisty or rhythm just pure superficial and try to stay relevant. Worst Beyoncé album of her career. Please bring back Sasha Fierce tunes.

    Horrible album, pretentious, basic, with talent from the producers and writers but not from the Cartes.

    Terrible! Production was awful and repetitive, total absence of vocals from Beyonce and Jay Z wasn’t even on it!

    boring uninsipired rushed. the only reason they released its to make sure Nas and Kanye's album will not be #1.

    Como sempre mais do mesmo, já está na hora de Beyoncé e Jay-Z sair da zona de conforto e criarem algo realmente relevante

    Clearly the critics reviews are biased. The album feels rushed and superficial. The abuse of autotune in some tracks is the worst part. The lyrics? Definitely so disappointed with the album...

    This is just awful on so many levels. It feels rushed; something like a homework essay copy-pasted from Wikipedia. I expected more from Beyonce; her musical quality standards appears to be declining.

    It's not one of her best albums, disappointed in how much Beyoncé had to do to remain married to Jay-Z. In her songs, she cites that she does not call streaming, but soon after seeing Tidal's failure she released the album on all streaming platforms. If she declares herself a feminist, she is always running her hand over Jay-z's head, accepting even the fact that she is betrayed. Decadence

    Pretentious and just blatant bragging of wealth. we don't need that in an album. Beyonce is much better than this.

    Sorry I'm not sorry but the old Beyonce is better. She deserves an "A" for trying hardest but she hardly hit the stone on the ground on this almost epic album. Beyonce- stop talking about your money, just sing songs like Halo and If I were a boy then let's talk after.

    Very trash without identity. This album gives nothing new to the current music scene and it takes Beyonce a step back. I feel that they are recycling the same sound and they're exposing their own personal life for attention. Beyonce you can do better than that.

    hahahah piada mesmo, uma pessoa que pega descarte de migos, q n tem a originalidade nem de compor uma única música sobre o '' suposto perdão da traição'' sem ter q apelar pra 188502550000 compositores. Hipócrita q se escorou no superbowl e diz q n precisa, fala que não precisa de streams mas na primeira oportunidade lançou essa bomba no apple music e no spotify, Jay-z não vou nem citar,hahahah piada mesmo, uma pessoa que pega descarte de migos, q n tem a originalidade nem de compor uma única música sobre o '' suposto perdão da traição'' sem ter q apelar pra 188502550000 compositores.

    this album should be called, "how much can we copy Kanye but over some generic beats and lyrics about nothing."

    short album (kanye) "Beezus" (kanye) MBDTF aesthetics (kanye) videos style (kanye) Yeezy bodysuits (kanye) and lets throw shots at him throughout without acknowledging his clear influence. Plus, drop the album same day as Nas. Petty and not even as good of an album. I    this album should be called, "how much can we copy Kanye but over some generic beats and lyrics about nothing."

    I enjoyed Lemonade and 4:44 but this really didn't do anything for me. It follows every current trend so painfully bad and a ton of god awful lyrics its hard to listen to. I got zero substance or saw anything innovative. I understand why people would like this, Jay and Beyonce are the biggest stars in the world and this is a big production album but it falls very short for me.

    My favorite line though is about how they don't give a f*ck about streaming numbers so it won't be on spotify but then 2 days later its on spotify lmao.    … Expand

    Overrated artists, overrated music. It's pretty much the same all over again. No heart into this project I mean just took them 3 months to created.

    Horrible album with very generic production, bland songwriting, and even a poor vocal performance from Beyonce. A lot of pseudo-intellectual themes that come across as critic bait, there's a definite bias in favor of Beyonce amongst critics. It's quite evident seeing how politicized reviews of Kanye's latest albums have been, despite having very high praise from the general public.

    I have really been enjoying listening to the album, the more I listen to it the more I like it. I didn't expect this kind of album but I am very pleasantly surprised. My favorite songs are Apesh*t, Black Effect and Friends

    Awful album, the songs sound all the same, they are boring, I couldn't listen to any of them till the end. Beyoncé's last 4 albums were great, what happened?

    As an album it’s almost entirely soporifically dull though beautifully appointed throughout (and it’s a joy to hear Beyoncé rapping) by some smart production from both main protagonists and some slick grooves from the Daptone band. [Aug 2018, p.68]

    It's also a sonic master class in marital counseling and commitment, wherein Beyoncé emerges with the upper hand and a contrite Jay is lucky she's so gracious. Vocally, it's a similar story: Beyoncé shines here, balancing light rap verses ("Apeshit" and "Nice") with some of the prettiest vocals she's recorded in years ("Friends"), while Jay offers his standard braggadocious bars that nonetheless make an impact for their occasional honesty and humility.

    There’s a sense of immediacy and even unpredictability in the most restless moments on Everything In Love, which saves the album from being a rather static and defiant contemplation of The Carters’ victories.
