[Pitchfork] Beyoncé - Renaissance (9.0)

[Jose P 23,253]

 

Beyoncé’s seventh album is not just a pop star’s immaculate dance record, but a rich celebration of club music and its sweaty, emancipatory spirit.

It’s her only bad album imo, so i’m not completely mad at it. I’d give it like a 6.5 at most, but every other project i’d give an 8 or above.

don't think it is better than Lemonade but slay

[Wolf Boy 2,093]

The haters are going to go absolutely ballistic 

[StarstruckIllusion 35,349]

It literally deserves NOTHING less

Totally agree! I loooove the heavy dance inspired tracks. Church Girl, Plastic off the Sofa and I'm That Girl are skips for me

[Galagala 4,291]

This album is definitely weaker than Lemonade. Let's see how it will perform at industry awards or Grammys. 9.0 is just ridiculous.

I haven’t been able to stop listening. 
I think it’s my second fave after Lemonade, so my current ranking looks like this:

7. I Am…Sasha Fierce (6.5/10)

6. Dangerously In Love (8/10)

5. 4 (8.5/10)

4. Beyoncé (9/10)

3. B’Day (9/10)

2. Renaissance (10/10)

1. Lemonade (11/10)

I really enjoyed Renaissance, although it has its weaknesses, but there's no way its a better album than self-titled or Lemonade.

Also they gave IASF 5.7??
