    Creo que 2 canciones solo tienen un mensaje y son buenas el resto no me gustaron, nada comerciales solo le mete misterio y aburren.

    Es un álbum que no tiene muchos mensajes la única canción que me parece muy buena tanto el sonido como en letra es formation, el álbum habla de lo mismo sus letras no me parecen tan buenas y los sonidos y ritmos regulares.

    A masterpiece, especially for Beyoncé. It does not conform to so many of the ideologies of an album, and in such a profound way.

    So much of the sheer musicality, story-telling and visuals engrave Lemonade as one of the greatest albums of all time!

    ICONICO!!! Com esse album a Beyoncé nos mostrou q é Inovadora e q é capaz d entregar trabalhos com excelencia visual e sonora como é esse album. Se a partir do Beyoncé Album ela cravou seu nome na industria, com Lemonade ela se tornou, incontestavelmente, uma das cantoras mais importantes da história da musica. Realmente MEMORAVEL!!!!!!!!!!

    Lemonade is truly a work of art, it's an experience. It is, was, and always will be a perfect example of everything an album should be. Beyonce did that!

    One of the best albums of all time. 4 years after its release I am still discovering new Easter eggs in both the music and the film. Check out the Dissect Podcast on Spotify! (I'm not affiliated with them btw lol) It's utterly mind-blowing to see how much Beyoncé incorporated into just 12 tracks. Completely deserving of the Peabody Award it received.

    album is a real turning point, nobody has ever seen a person talk a lot about the history of black women, each song, each lyric very well done and very interpreted by Beyonce. This album is unbearable...

    Some songs transcend human explanation and make you feel like you're levitating. The background vocals carry the songs as expected from Beyoncé. Every song is a message and ties perfectly to the accompanying music video. Visually stunning.

    This is her magnum opus. A masterpiece. Arguably the best album of this century yet. Its so sad to see these trolls downvote this album and rate it 0 just to make its ratings lower and so their fave's ratings appear higher. Some of yall can't stand the fact that a black woman created one of the best albums of all time and its so visible.

    In this album, Beyoncé shows to the world a side of hers that she's never shown before. The stunning visuals, the adventurous vocals, and the way that everything about the film has a meaning/is a reference is a statement of greatness. In only one album, she speaks about black pride and black rights, her marriage, and women power.

The stunning visuals, the adventurous vocals, and the way that everything about the film has a meaning/is a reference is a statement of greatness. In only one album, she speaks about black pride and black rights, her marriage, and women power. This album shut the mouths of the cynics, of the ones who still had doubts about Bey's ability to create art, move the world, push the envelope and break more barriers. Emotionally extreme, fiery, bold and ambitious, Lemonade is another one of her cultural resets and sets itself as unforgettable. Beyoncé is a living legend and has nothing to prove.… Expand

    Lemonade hits hard. Beyonce has chosen to portray herself like this, and those choices are bold, powerful and at times, properly shocking. [#361, p.110]

    Never short on vocal confidence, here, she trades divadom for arresting, unconventional shapes. [Jul 2016, p.69]

    By effortlessly topping her own best work. Lemonade now sets a new standard for cross-genre collaboration.
