Discussion: Is 'BEYONCÉ' a Classic?

MCBeth

I will ask this question everyday with a different album in place from many different artists to gather ATRL's finest classic albums.

Now: BEYONCÉ

• Artist(s): Beyoncé
• Released: December 13, 2013

Is it a classic? Why or why not?

Already Done

** NEW DEVELOPMENT: After I've gathered 35 "classic" albums, I'll move on to songs. **

EveryDAY, sis? Are u sure?

Anyway, yes, it is a classic, because it summarize the dance/electronic/urban genre. Cohesive, focused, solid record.

Not this question EVERY WEEK.

Yes, it is.

No. Only her first two albums are classics.

Rated R

To stans and people on music forums, yes. To the general public, no

Yes, it is.

Like I said below, it's just for one day, it'll change tomorrow.

To musically aware people yes, overall no.

Yes. Huge trendsetter album. Still fresh and amazing to this day.

I'm going to say no even though its Brintey's best album. I just don't think it has the "longevity", groundbreaking factor for it to be considered a classic. I also don't think it has aged well. Maybe it got overshadowed by her personal life at the time, I don't know.

To those worried/annoyed about this album going first, don't worry it'll change EVERYDAY. So tomorrow will be another artist.

BadBitch

No, never.

Not even close.

MM3

Yes, on ATRL.

To me personally: No, because although it's good (almost great), a couple of very weak tracks bog it down.

To the GP: No, because when people think of Britney Spears circa 2007, they think about her chaotic personal life around the time, not this album.

To people on sites like this/music followers: Quite possibly, because it is quite a strong pop album.

To Britney stans: Yes, and they overrate it to the high heavens because of a couple of retrospective positive reviews.

Underdogs

no.

Though its a great album. definitely her best by miles

getback

Yes. And if you say no, stay pressed.

Mr.Link

For delusional stans yes, for everyone else, no.
