Something having stellar reviews is used as a evidence to argue it being overrated, that's what the whole purpose of the word overrated is. Higher praise than deserved.

Doesn't make sense to use its high praise as proof of it not being overrated.

For something to be overrated, it has to be compared relative to a baseline. And if that baseline is the rest of her discography, which is good assumption, it's not overrated.

The themes are stronger, the lyrics are more vivid, the production is more varied and tightly constructed, and the visuals are more robust.

Does she have better individual songs on other albums? Sure.

But in comparison to the rest of her discography, Lemonade is her best ALBUM project.

A month from now. You got plenty of time.

I also encourage everyone else to try/participate if they want to~

[Giselle]

Freakum Dress is pretty extraordinary, yes. She did that. Top 5 Top 5 Top 5.

What are the contenders for AOTY as of now? I don't follow up critics tbh, so I don't know the tea there.

LemonAIDs?

this is a bit low

OT: I would love to see Anti has a dark horse and get a nom.

I see 25, Lemonadé, TLOP, Blackstar, VIEWS/Anti/some rock album

And yes, it does make sense to consider professional reviews considering they come from a diverse set of hands and they specifically look for these things. lol

Why are you guys like this?

[BabyCantYouSee]

The bridges on B'Day are so ****ing good.

I'd just need 2 do Miguel & Vince & revisit the others (except ILYH, I listen to that one quite frequently)

[GreasyBruce]

B'Day is her worst album, you can tell she recorded it in two weeks. It's pretty tragic that the best song on it is a tacked-on soundtrack single (Check On It).

Yeah, enough with your specialized definitions of stuff and your psychology.

Critics, as you pointed out have a higher opinion of the album than deserved. It's overrated.

I don't understand why this is so hard to grasp.
It's like saying Pray You Catch Me is her best album opener ever. Which is true. But that doesn't mean PYCM > Crazy In Love

I guess 25? LemonAIDs?

Who else?

25
Lemonade
Blackstar
A Moon Shaped Pool
Views
Purpose

It'll be between these.

[DoubleDutchess]

The album is flawless. Her signature album.

[2AM]

Katy needs to go ahead and release this year.
I do not want a release near anyone else A-List in pop.

Lemonade is not overrated because it deserves a score higher than 92. Simple

"professional reviews"

lol this is such a n00b argument, you do know most of those metacritic/websites reviewers are freelancers and didn't even study music, right?
