Interesting to stumble upon this recent thread activity when just YESTERDAY TVX scolded me for comparing Lemonade (awesome album, filled with meaning and artistry) and Anti (vapid failure)!
It won't last. Once Lemonade passes Views in sales. Then they go back to singles or something.
But, I'm happy for him tho. This album sucks but he deserves it. I blame fRih for his musical decline to the point he has to rely on singles. I hope this isn't a 50 cent situation for him

Anti/Rihanna are praised all over Lemonade's reviews

Like some of the most anticipated albums of the year so far – Rihanna’s ‘Anti’ and Kanye West’s ‘The Life Of Pablo’ – ‘Lemonade’ is strikingly varied

in a year when the world’s biggest artists have put their necks on the line - Rihanna’s leave-me-alone, independent streak of ‘Anti’, Kanye West’s scatterbrained ever-changing doodle ‘The Life of Pablo’ - Beyoncé can count herself as a risk-taker breaking new ground, up there with the bravest

Quote:
LEMONADE’s first half is an astonishing run of generic re-inventions and vocal highs for Beyoncé, who (like Rihanna on ANTI), seems to be pushing beyond the requirements for listenable pop and toward something like canon
