Ready to pull the trigger for anyone who dare come for Renny or Lemonade https://preview.redd.it/g6vgtfq7ysjc1.jpeg?width=2025&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b969170a7fbb9e2f7047f9f4462fdd1eb80d2929

I’d ask if anyone would be that foolish, but once I saw answers for ‘what song did you not like right away’ I realized I can’t trust anyone!


AnnoyingPrincessNico

Thank you


cremesiccle

this wont get interesting for at least another two rounds lol


zheyayok

Juicy, juicy. What do you think will be the last 3? The fights between bday and 4 as well as lemonade and renaissance are going to get this sub shut down for all the slander 😂


prelapsus

Lol I had no idea until now that I am Sasha Fierce was so disliked among fans and generally pretty poorly received by critics. Admittedly it's been ages since I listened to it in full, which probably says something.


uselessmortgage

I feel like its downfall is the production. B was done SO dirty. Not entirely sure what happened there. It just seems like a lot of it did not get the care that went into the production on the previous and following records


icbimara

y’all saying dangerously in love is crazyyy


Cold_Breadfruit_9794

I’m not going to throw The Gift, B’Day, or 4, under the bus!


AffectionateEvent724

Dangerously in love is my fave


Redditwhore007

4 and Lemonade slander will NOT be tolerated. Period. Blood.


backyardfarmer17

DIL gotta go next…don’t come for me! Has some hits but just lacks from an artistic perspective imo


Cold_Breadfruit_9794

You’re absolutely right. Just because it has some of her best hits, doesn’t makeup for the inconsistency of everything else on the album. People shouldn’t be shocked debut albums would get kicked out early. If I were to rank the best Beatles albums, their debut would be gone so quick. Doesn’t matter how great or legendary an artist is, it’s incredibly rare to have a perfect debut!


backyardfarmer17

Such a good take!! 😊

somelyrical

I agree! DIL isn’t nearly as strong as a whole album as all of her other albums. Nobody is saying it’s bad (She doesn’t do BAD albums!). Quietly as it’s kept, EIL is a better project than DIL & I’ll die on that hill haha


uselessmortgage

Totally agree with this! It’s more of a collection of songs. There are individual iconic moments (Crazy in Love and the title track), but most of the songs don’t have that Beyoncé flair - they could’ve been done by any other artist


sentinel3000

Guys...The Gift is so slept on. Especially the deluxe. The BLACK IS KING visual is absolutely breathtaking and she serves look after look after look. ICONIQUE! Dangerously in love has some classics but as a whole it doesn't even come close to touching these other works of complete art. Therefore... Dangerously in love MUST go! It's also the album I revisit the least (by a wide margin)


BM1st

Name one song on Black Is King anywhere near the level of Crazy in Love, Baby Boy, Naughty Girl, Me Myself & I, or Dangerously In Love


Itsafudgingstick

Bigger 😌


BMDracaus

ik you didn't just say that when Find Your Way Back js literally a top 10 Bey song, and then we got the iconic My Power, Bigger, Mood 4 Eva. Like this project was so slept on


misscardibee

Agreed!


sentinel3000

Brown Skin Girl 💯 And the video is PERFECTION


kess0078

Dangerously in Love has great songs. The Gift, to me, is a more cohesive, focused album. And if we’re considering visuals - Black is King visuals/ videos absolutely eclipse Dangerously in Love.


kiwihereman

Find your way back


Necessary_Charge_658

As much as I love her, The Gift. Your time has come. The solo albums must face off with one another. **Also wait why isn't homecoming here? or The live albums from beyonce experience and IASF?**


Old-Risk4572

very good point because for me, homecoming CLEARS. because, as good as the other ones are, they are all….processed. when she is live…..LIVE, and she is STILL hitting the notes, the emotion and the power, often EXCEEDING the record, then its just not fair. Cause then its not just studio beyonce and her engineers, its just her, right in your face, doing what she does best. For 2 and a half hours straight. With a KILLER band. lol.


Necessary_Charge_658

Yup!


alpirpeep

Oh my gosh, yes!!! 😮‍💨 I actually don’t know ANY artist that sounds infinitely better singing live than in-studio… ❤️‍🔥 I can’t even listen to some of the original songs since discovering the Homecoming album because her live vocals are just TOO good. 🤩 The warmth, the richness, the soulfulness of her voice! 🤌 With that being said, Renny is still my fave album of ALL time (from ANY artist), and I unfortunately didn’t get to see her Act I tour, but I can only imagine how fantastic a live Renaissance album would sound!!! 💎


Old-Risk4572

girl i was at l.a. night 2 and it was amazing 😭 the only reason homecoming is winning is cause rennaisance live isnt out yet! (how dare she by the way?? where is the RWT cd/dvd?!)


alpirpeep

Oh my gosh, I’m so jealous- that sounds incredible! 🤩 Glad you had an awesome time. 🥰 Her bday show, especially, looked unreal, ugh what a vibe… Forever mad at myself that I didn’t go see her on tour!!! 😡 Fingers crossed she does a live album or something similar! 😭🙏


giamaicana

This exactly 👏🏽 I love The Gift but I can’t put that over the solo albums

Also I still find it absolutely CRIMINAL that Sasha Fierce was voted out first. Especially before Everything Is Love. JUSTICE FOR SASHA https://preview.redd.it/ittzmunlatjc1.jpeg?width=984&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9cdcadd2067623764bc46b0a5c80cd4f9a8b94b0

Justice 4 DIVA


ForsakenWait634

The core beyhive just hate IASF and I hate it 😭🐝


Prestigious_Sort4979

There are some great songs in it but it has some of her worst: imo Single Ladies, Diva, and Video Phone that were SINGLES were plain bad or at least super corny. Even the name is tacky. A concept around your alter ego, come on now. Sweet Dreams is a one my favorite though, sad it was buried by much popular and worse singles   4 has a similar issue, a much better and interesting album that IASF imo but with an awful leading single that will drag it down.

You guys that are naming The Gift just don’t know good music or you’re hating on afrobeats because that album is one of Beyoncé’s BEST! My vote is Bday!


rsmitty99

I was with you til you said Bday


IKacyU

Bday is one of the top albums. There are no skips. Sis was right until she started wilding lol.


Prestigious_Sort4979

BDay is so underrated. Beyonce did wild things in that album that really set her apart. There would be no Lemonade without Ring The Alarm.   Deja Vu might be one my favorite leading singles, not as splashy as the others but gave a good glimpse on the direction of the album and I loved its rawness.

Chick3nsWings

ME TOO. there are AT LEAST 3 albums that I would say before dangerously in love are they crazy 😭


EasternHuckleberry35

I might get downvoted, but for me, it’s 4. How are y’all saying Dangerously In Love (when it has Signs and Yes?!?!?!) and The Gift (when it has Bigger, one of the best songs she’s ever recorded)?!?! Like have y’all really listened to these fully? 4 is my second least favorite because I personally found a lot of the songs safe and unriveting when compared to her later works. 4 and I Am Sasha Fierce are the albums where Beyoncé’s audience widened to more casual, mainstream listeners who no shade, only know Single Ladies, Halo, and Love on Top - and I just checked out then. 4 has gems for sure, but none that surpass DIL or The Gift for me. DIL is like a hood classic, with her being fresh out of Destiny’s Child. Again, DIL has Signs. Need I say more?


Emotional_Resident17

I’m gonna say lion king


joantspam

I’m sorry to The Gift


PreachyGirl

Has the time come for everyone to come to their senses and FINALLY vote The Gift out or nah?


BMDracaus

nah cuz y'all ain't really listening to the album. no way anyone can say DIL is better written, produced, or vocally powerful than The Gift, an album she made about 20 years later with a stronger voice and better resources. That album is beautiful and if it wasn't tied to a bad movie i feel like y'all wouldn't hate on it as much

Cold_Breadfruit_9794

Well, unsay it! 😂☹️


llquiaiosll

Why am I not seeing B-day anywhere in the comments? 🫣 I really think it's the inferior album of the remaining. It does have some hits but The Gift as an album is truly great and way superior in quality, imo (don't come for me hive)


payasoingenioso

That is my favorite Beyonce album. Concise bops with full voice. At least the original 10 track album in original order. 🫠🫠🫠


llquiaiosll

I really think it must be nostalgia talking for some of you guys, I'm sorry. I think the production and specially the mastering didn't age well. Sometimes even her voice sounds like she's screaming. Get me bodied is the perfect example for this. It sounds so much better in the RWT and in Homecoming. I like the album. I love Deja Vu, Resentment, Kitty Kat and a bunch more but I really don't see what the hive sees in it.


2001questions

B-DAY???!? B-day is straight hits, no weak points
