    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.

    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

    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.

    Nothing but a show-off. Does not have a positive message people can relate to. Jay-Z's verses aren't good and his interventions are incredibly stupid.

    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

    A deeply disappointing album from two great artists. It seems they lost their way becoming obsessed with money and appearance and losing any and all emotions and realness to their art.

    Such a dissappintment. it's jsut so shallow and vapid, and it feels so hollow considering that Beyonce's work 2011-2016 was all about proving that she was a legitimate artist. Here it's just her and Jay-Z flaunting their wealth, but when none of your fans are worth a billion dollars, it's hard to connect.

    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.

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

    What happened to the "4" Beyoncé?? This record is extremely forgettable, incoherent and clearly seems to be aiming for the charts. The trap influence is also very bugging. Even "Lemonade" was better than this mess. The lyricism is also extremely effortless and only remarks their obsession with their wealth.

    What is this? Why?Why? Why is Beyoncé forcing me to listen to Jayz? Seriously woman, get a solo carreer for once. Absolutely no one, I said, no one! wants to see you with him. I'm giving one point for the beauty of the **** music video. The rest is ear-bleeding material.

    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.

    Everything is Love is the worst album from Beyonce. Not surprised though, her sales from Lemonade dips from 653000 versus to her latest release with 124000 sales.

    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.
