No, Hello sort of ended her and delegated her to urban/R&B radio after the failure of ST to produce more than one hit

Not when Hello, the single alone, was a bigger event than the entire Lemonade era.
Can't believe how great Beyonce fans are at grasping on straws.

25 era was literally the biggest era of all time from October to December 2015. Fastest selling non charity single ever, fastest selling album of all time, enormous global cultural impact with "Hello" becoming iconic and ubiquitous.
Then in the first few months of 2016 she won everything at the BRITS, had a highly publicized Grammy performance (for bad reasons but still, media coverage), her tour announcement which sold out the whole tour in minutes.
Then over the summer she had Send My Love become an international Top 10 hit and a #1 pop hit in the US, as well as her hugely successful tour, which saw countless celebrities attend, got lots of media coverage all around the world, and the giant eyes thing that opens the show has become lowkey iconic.
She still has the Grammy Awards to look forward to early next year, and "Water Under the Bridge", which could be another hit.
The 25 era was felt and enjoyed by every demographic, every race, nationality, age. A truly global mega album with an instant classic lead single.
Lemonade doesn't compare on any level, not hits, not sales, not cultural impact, not its reach and appeal. Even its tour, considering Adele will have grossed about $200m (close to Formation) and sold out everything instantly, and could easily have done huge stadiums all around the globe.
Sorry, Hive.

No. It didn't have any sort of impact at all outside of the USA.

The one that feels like a TRUE era with a 10-week number one and 20 million copies sold and counting... 25 > Lemonade Sorry but it's the truth

Why are the poll questions in direct conflict with the question?  You ask if one album "feels" bigger than the other; and then the second option takes use of the argument that it feels bigger than the first based on sales figures, which is completely irrelevant if you want to discuss individual perception of the question at hand 
sorry OP but you look like a moron without any sense of logic here  I hope you aren't currently working on a thesis or anything, because..

well rounded and factual 
i love Bey and Lemonade, and it def had great impact and deserved Acclaim, but it just wasn´t bigger than 25 overall.
tourwise tho, they´re both huge but in different ways since Bey has sold out stadiums with fewer dates and massive demand, Adele has a much longer tour but with arenas only and atleast the same demand. they both slay hard in this department

Not in the slightest. 25 appealed to the masses on a global scale and quite frankly Hello alone felt like more of an event than Lemonade as a whole, no shade. Also, 25 will go down on history as the album that had the highest first week sales of all time in the US. Whether they wanna admit it or not, 25 was bigger on every scale except critical acclaim and the accompanying tour they had and that's only because Adele didn't visit stadiums and if she did, she would've been bigger on that scale too.

You can't use the " but it feels like" or " sales mean nothing" excuse when we're talking about 4.5M first week sales followed by 2 1.5M weeks WW.
That's a phenomenon and it clearly means that everyone CARED. Everyone.
If even 1/5 of those cared for Lemonade, you can come here and try to be delusional and stuff. But yeah stopppp STOP
25 probably sold more in UK alone than Lemonade WW
