    MONEY MONEY MONEY!

    3 ans après son album éponyme, Beyoncé est de retour et elle propose un schéma presque identique au précédent, c'est-à-dire sortir son album par surprise. Là où BEYONCÉ était un album cohérent et bien produit, LEMONADE est un album fouilli et bruyant où sa voix est moins maîtrisée qu'auparavant. Un album vraiment passable et dispensable.

    The lyrics are very good, the whole concept of the album is very good but the production is very boring. Non iconic music is something you hear once and really that's it. I miss Beyonce Sasha fierce Bday, fierce and iconic.

    Sin duda Lemonade se veía prometedor, pero sigue atada a lo mismo, especialmente en sus presentaciones, haciendo lo mismo una y otra vez.

    Infelizmente o álbum é muito superestimado pelo cenário musical.
    Algumas letras não transitam com a aura do álbum, indo de encontro com uma técnica já vista.

    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.

    The hour-long "Lemonade" Visual Album on HBO was a dark, racially tribal study in the self-indulgence of an urban-pop queen. I don't see this is of any interest to anyone outside her family and vigilante-leaning "Bey Hive". Shawn Carter's ("Jay Z") alleged infidelity was over two yrs ago. If this is an emotional response to that then why the long delay?

    "R.I.P. to the girl you used to see
    Her days are over, baby she's over"
    These lyrics from an unknown song by an unknown singer are perfect to describe this album and Beyonce's come back. She proves with this album that she's more thirsty for money than LEMONADE putting 0 effort to make it as we could have heard and that's very sad because I actually supported her but I'm so    "R.I.P. to the girl you used to see

    These lyrics from an unknown song by an unknown singer are perfect to describe this album and Beyonce's come back.

    She proves with this album that she's more thirsty for money than LEMONADE putting 0 effort to make it as we could have heard and that's very sad because I actually supported her but I'm so disappointed I was waiting for way much better.

    It's way too communal and the album is only made for black people, Some people couldn't identify themselves to the lyrics etc that's sad because people could feel like they're not anymore part of Beyonce's target audience. An album by an international artist like her shouldn't be that sectarian. Once again, that's my opinion, no problem with Beyonce I love her neither with afro americans.

    There's only one song I actually like it's "Forward" because it's the shortest song on LEMONADE and because when I played the fist song of the album for the first time I was looking "Forward" to stop listening to this joke of the century.

    She's trying so hard to be a Rihanna wanna be singer, like using Rihanna's exactly same type of songs. Rihanna has a particular way to sing and specific types of songs so when I hear "Hold Up" "Sorry", "All Night' anyway... every songs on LEMONADE my thoughts are like "Rihanna could have sung that song". It's very annoying to listen an album by an artiste where every single song reminds me of an other artist. it's a lack of originality.

    To conclude, Forward is dope, but the rest is boring. 2/10 because of "Forward" and "Rihanna's type of songs"    … Expand

    I wonder why she has to wear a bathing suite to get people to listen to her music. I like a lot of female artists but none of them have to dress like a hooker to get people to buy their music. Their music sells itself, then again what is Beyonce selling?

And the thematic... oh Lord, a whole album based on your husband cheating on you??? I think the thematic was intentional to create expectation and controversy, i don't really believe it. Anyways, as I said, it has some good songs.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You know.. when you try so hard to create a masterpiece, it will transform into a kitsch. That's what Beyonce ended to do with Lemonade. She wanted to create a record about 'Black Lives Matter' (which is a fantastic idea) but in the end she made the album all about herself (like always).. She still needs to understand that she's not the most important human being from this world. The main idea of Lemonade it's really good, even the fact that she used some samples for creating the album, but we can't see the essence of this record? Is it a sad record? Is it a funky record? What's this record really about? About Jay-Z and his affair with a lady (Becky with nice hair) or about being black? You decide.… Expand

    Way too pretentious. It's a good album putting the gimmicks and fake tabloids aside. It does not feel genuine. She's clearly it for the SCHMONEY and it shows. The music is not that great however, which everybody forgets to talk about regarding LEMONADE as the visuals and gimmicks overshadow it, massively.

    Beyoncé used to make good music but this decade it seems she has no more inspiration. All of her songs are vulgar and very sexual. She's also singing about issues that don't really exist. I tried to give it a chance but I am disappointed. There's no hit on the album, no melody, no great lyrics either.

In such a pop culture moment, the music should live up to the visuals and hype and it just fell flat. I do not see how this album could possibly be so personal when the lyrics and music and even the poetry in the visual album were mainly written by other people. I would love to listen to an album written with Beyonce's words only to really feel her pain and emotion, but some people cannot express themselves well and need to pay other people to do it for them.… Expand

People are saying this album is "a story of a woman's journey" but where is the journey? Beyonce sounds like she couldn't pick a sound or style and stick with it for the entire album.

    Boring, useless and far from Beyonce's signature songs like "Single Ladies", "Crazy in Love" and "Halo". Might be innovative but is by far Beyonce's most challenging album and this leads to the desperate try to create something new, not good or catchy or emotional, but just new. And that's kinda bad.

It was great for the movie, but I was hoping for another artwork for the album. The booklet could be much better and include her lyrics. Plus the price for the album is a colossal cheek! 18€ for 11 and a half songs? Are you serious, Beyoncé? Even her self-titled album, which included 14 songs (+Grown Woman) was only 16€... I'm a really disappointed fan/stan. It makes no sense to me that she's paying dust to songs like "Grown Woman", "A Woman Like Me", "Standing on the Sun" and "Die with You", but releases rubbish like "Daddy Lessons"... This is the worst country song I've heard in my entire life. Who told her this song was good? This album includes no catchy songs, except "Formation". Whoever produced these songs should get fired. Boots, Swizz Beatz, Timbaland, Hit-Boy and Mike-WiLL-Made-It should have produced the album. It's definitely not worth my coins. I won't buy the album (unfortunately).… Expand

    boring, uneducated, just awful, racist , no talent whatsoever, these reviewers are either paid by her or have lost their minds. She is talentless and from what she displays in the public eye just a bad person

    Overrated lame ass album with repeated same kind of music. People must be deaf to give this album such high score. Beyonce did nothing revolutionary in the past 3 albums. This just proves that when you have money you have everything. Trash

    Pointless album with no continuity in her songs. She is rapping not singing, also none of the songs is a standout, they all are pointless and worthless with no meaning... Beyonce's not an artist. Its awful to think that the average amount of songwriters for a song in this album is 15, and there are no lyrics at all. This album is a waste of time and music.

    The most of the album is boring except for some songs, i think it doesn't deserve such a high meta score. They all kissing Bey's ass. This is not her best album

    Péssimo álbum, apenas se escorando no feminismo e na cor da raça, para vender cd, Não ha nada de novo que outros artistas que se importam realmente com a raça não tenha feito melhor.

    Meaningless album. She has to fake and public shaming her husband just to gained enough publicity for the album. And the album wasn't good at all, not even a hit! Seriously, this is the most overrated album of the year.

    As always, Beyoncé fails to impress with this album. There's absolutely nothing special on this album (with the exception of Hold Up, that song is great, too bad it's on this horrible album). I seriously can't believe something like this is considered the "album of the year". It just shows how Beyoncé is overrated.

    Essa limonada ta azeda demais, album marketeiro, sem amor, feito por 70 compositores, com falso ativismo, falso feminismo, fala da suposta traição do marido e ainda expõe que vai fazer album em conjunto com o adúltero. Essa mulher realmente é uma farsa. Sonoridade bosta e conteudo vindo de uma mulher que não corresponde ao que diz, hipocrita né amores? Não vale um caroço de azeitona.

    I am really disappointed by Beyonce Knowles new album Lemonade. It´s very flat and boring. None of the songs stand out, they all sound very basic to me. Furthermore, I am not a fan of visual albums because a good artist can express his vision or art with only his music and not with a movie or tons of videos. Really shocked by how terrible this album is.

    Beyoncé is a terrrible artist, she is trying to be like Madonna, Michael and talented as Bjork, but Bjork doesnt pay for good critics, cause Bjork makes real art. "Queen B" it´s just a product of pop music. LEMONADE IS SO EMPTY.

Клип на formation очень понравился и тексты песен хорошие, но музыка скучная и однообразная.Самый переоцененный альбом за все время.

    Un álbum bastante sobrevalorado y realmente malo, todo el disco en general es aburrido, algunas canciones son malas y la mezcla de tantos sonidos son muy horribles y no quedan con el contexto del álbum, los videos salvaron un poco el disco y la canción "Daddy Lessons" es la más rescatable. El peor álbum de Beyoncé para mi parecer.

    Terrible album. I did not see any music pop in the radios, and I only know Formation because I saw it on tv. It lacks vocally, with different features, the songs are all alike, at least it sells a lot.

Наглая скупка наград и хвалебных отзывов только усиливают сеанс копрофилии при упоминании имени абсолютно пустого артиста-ничтожества, популярность которого не только не заслуженная, но также имеет более негативное отношение из-за своей неактуальности. Надеюсь бездарная блядина Блядонсе когда-нибудь получит своё настоящее признание - это ротация ее дерьма на свалочных помещениях и гниение в подвале у своего бесталанного алчного муженька Гея Зи.

    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]
