This isn't really like Erotica or Music, in regards to critical reception. Like a Prayer has been Madonna's best received work in hindsight, while Ray of Light was her most acclaimed upon release; they were both preceded by relatively unacclaimed (compared to themselves) works, and succeeded by slightly less acclaimed works. Lemonade follows what was her most acclaimed work to date but seems to have actually surpassed that work. It's a pattern we didn't really see with Madonna.
You all dragged my ass last week when I said Formation had more impact than Work. And now it's gonna sell more in these 3 days than Work ever did in a single full week and on the top of it Lemonade is gonna outsell ANTI right away.
The Beyonce stans are giving me MAJOR BEYONCE delusion teas, acting as it is some kind of elaborate masterpiece on Beyonce's side.
Literally just look at the credits, just like BEYONCE, Lemonade was crafted by top-notch producers & writers.
Nothing wrong with that but they're acting all over again as if Beyonce did everything
As the artist with the publicized credit, the face on the cover, the voice behind the songs, and the creative force that pushed the whole project forward, she deserves the most credit. This is no different from any other artist getting credit for their acclaimed works - cowriters and producers are almost never as immediately recognized regardless of the artist.

No, it's not.
I'm just warning them so they don't get all conflicted when a nobody like Beck (that produces, writes & sings most of his songs by himself) wins AOTY next year.
Lemonade was, obviously, amazing.
I totally knew she was gonna use her relationship for this album though.
Seems a little predictable but she tackled it well and showed artistic growth.
Also, Lemonade has a ton of samples, hence the lengthy writing credit list. Each writer on the sampled songs is required to be credited on the new composition.

She'd likely be the Beck this year though (unless Bowie snatches). They have a history of rewarding people after they were publicly seen as being snubbed in the past. And this is Beyoncé's most acclaimed album yet. I'd also argue that it shows more of her talent and skill to NARAS, she tried a lot of different sounds and genres that they'd be open to compared to the more urban BEYONCÉ.
Beyonce is more acclaimed than Madonna. 94 on MC?! That's amazing.
The album still has 20+ more critics to get through, so it'll likely stabilize in the high 80s range at the least. Still that's more than most pop girl albums nowadays.
Beyonce works her ass off coz she recorded a so-so album, with stolen lyrics she payed to get credits for, and filming videos going around with a baseball bat
Britney is lazy for performing in Las Vegas, preparing her new album and probably she already filmed the new video too at her off days
Exhale is a mess. They remind me of the Faga stans and Navy here.
