Are you shocked that Bey has the most acclaimed album by a female popstar?

[Serendipity 7,821]

The previous holder was Madonna's Like a Prayer (92)

Lemonade is at 94 so far (with Rollingstone [mostly male favoring] giving it a perfect 100/100)

 

I love both of them very much, but I never expected that any girl could come close to 90s

 

[Robo Ga 15,297]

Honestly, I'm not surprised. Lemonade and the accompanying visual absolutely blew me away. Beyoncé has certified her status as a living legend with this one. Bravo Bey

gaga coming for that 99  

[KURUSHITOVSKA 20,451]

Overrated because it's by Beyoncé. Obviously Rolling Stone had to give it a 100/100 when it's about an album by Jay-Z's wife. If you wanted to make a statement about black people, you didnt have to make it with something that you obviously were going to make money from it. See BTW Foundation and the Secret Project by Madonnw that were completely free things. 

 

 

If you don't like my comment, don't quote me, please. I'm not going to change my opinion even if you insist. I need to stay calm.

Nope, she deserves it.

Is Beyoncé even pop

She cemented herself in pop culture, definitely, but I don't think it deserves a higher rating that The Fame Monster. Lemonade is basically a concept album but Bey wasn't the first to make sonically and thematically cohesive albums.

But I enjoy it and the songs are brilliant, this is so refreshing and so good to enjoy, especially after 4 boring years of lame music.

I've still not heard it is it on Spotify peepz

Can't believe she killed Madonna

You're so sexist, you're literally saying she has success & acclaim cause she married Jay Z when in reality all she did was work really hard to get where she is. 

[komr 414]

 How album with songs like Sorry, Love Drought and Sandcastles could so highly acclaimed???

[Psychedelic 1,098]

1. There are still more review to come, so it isn't a victory yet!

2. NO. I'm not surprised. She is a great artist. She is not overrated... she's truly pushed herself up through ACTUAL experimentation of sounds and genres and mash them together as well as incredible lyrics about many social issues. I'm sorry if your faves can only sing about sex, heartbreak and clitché-ed acceptance while boping to EDM!

FUN FACT: Rollingstone is extremely sexist.

Also it favors Rock n roll over RnB

Madonna happens to be literally the only exception.
