    I have come to expect nothing but excellency when it comes to Beyoncé and, once again, she did not disappoint! Every song is enjoyable, catchy without a gimmick, and has layers upon layers of complexity. She is a once-in-a-lifetime artist and I hope to see and support her continuance of conquering the music scene

    o álbum "everything is love" não brinca em serviço. celebra riqueza, amor, orgulho e ainda fala sobre temas racias com um hip hop incrível. beyoncé é a estrela principal, mostrando que manda bem em vários ritmos que demanda e jay z também não fica por baixo. hino. incrível. espetacular. grandioso. parabéns ao casal mais poderoso da indústria!

    Rating this a 10 to counteract the people rating it a 0 simply because they dislike two successful black artists talking about their success.

    Esse álbum é simplesmente sensacional! Beyoncé surpreende a todos fazendo um álbum mais para o lado do rap e mostra mais uma vez o porquê de ser a melhor de sua geração. Lenda é o que podemos dizer que essa mulher é!!

    I've seen many ways people have viewed this artistically. Many people think they care about art and at the same time talk about how Beyonce "disrespects it". Their narrow-mindedness really shows because they can't think outside the box. They don't see the art, i believe, in black culture, she tries to portray. i find this to be a very empowering song which I critically praise her for.

    Beyoncé é a melhor artista que existe e já existiu, a mais completa e isso é indiscutível! Eu sendo negro me sinto muito representado por sua arte e estou muito orgulhoso deste álbum! Parabéns Beyoncé e Jayz!

    I love how the previous Beyoncé and Jay-Z albums glimpses a strained marriage on both sides but showed a reconciliation exhibition on Everything is Love Album.

I love how they relish extravagant black wealth with mourning a broken American political system, hoping listeners find visions of a freer black planet in their revelry but also foregrounds family matters. For that mattter I’m rating Everything is Love a 10/10. The Craters once again made an outstanding job! Not to mention, how they were able to shutdown The Louvre just to shoot an MV, that power!

    Terrible, mediocre album. APE$HIT is the best song on the album, and considering it's not that good a song, you can imagine how the rest sounds. If the Migos demo of your song sounds better than your own song then you got a problem. Beyonce on auto-tune sounds horrible, the instrumentals are for the most part bland, the lyrics forgettable, and overall, a very forgettable album. Would haveTerrible, mediocre album.

    I love this album. I'm sorry for people who don't like it because it doesn't "sounds like Beyoncé".
    Artists should always try new things. And Beyoncé did it so well with this album. *applause*

    This is a quality album. The more you listen to it the more powerful it becomes. Summer, Friends,and 713 are probably my favorites. I've seen the ugly comments left by people who are offended at how unapologetic Beyonce and Jay are for their success and I'm not even bothered because I know they can't even hear that mess.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was completely taken by surprise with this album. Every song has a story to it, whether it's the thankfulness and recognition of being successful ("Apesh*t", "Boss"), the personal stories ("LoveHappy", "713"), or just a little self-reflection ("Black Effect").

    I think I would have liked a little more variation in the musical styles, but overall it's enjoyable.

    I have come to see the evolution of Beyonce's music from her Destiny's Child days to the present. I love that now she is a wonderful model of Black female unapologetic empowerment.

I love that now she is a wonderful model of Black female unapologetic empowerment. She sings about real life situations and conveys a depth of sincerity and truthfulness even when they are subjects that may be deeply personal. Her voice and musical style can vary and in the track Apes**t she faces all of the people who may have degraded her and dismissed her, in a stylistic and emotionally evocative way. The visuals in the video for this track are stunning and again exemplify the strength of women and how they don't have to be sexualized in degrading ways to "sell" the song. The fact that she recorded against the backdrop of classical art and a modern style of singing meshed so well and helped convey her connection between the timeless appeal that the surrounding art has and the message of the classic and timeless nature of how her relationship has evolved and become. I am not a part of her fandom just giving a review just to boost her score. I feel the impact she is making on women especially girls is significant that they don't have to submit to anyone to be strong or to define themselves, and it can be with the support of a man, not because of him.

    An end to an episodic trilogy that started with Beyoncé’s Lemonade. The Carter’s deserve their praise for releasing another cohesive body of work.

    Álbum maravilhoso, feito por artistas inteligentes para fãs/ouvintes inteligentes. O vídeo de apes**t é praticamente uma aula de história e arte. Não é por acaso que certas antas não gostaram. Arrumem alguma coisa para fazer, bando de haters inúteis.

    Ótimo álbum conjunto. Nas cenas do clipe **** onde os homens se ajoelham e depois acenam para o alto é uma referencia ao Colin Kaepernick, jogador de futebol americano que se recusou a ficar de pé para cantar o hino dos EUA, e em forma de protesto contra a injustiça racial permaneceu de joelhos.

Ele foi extremamente criticado e está sem time até hoje. Beyoncé homenageou ele com um prêmio alguns meses atras, e recentemente surgiu um boato de que o Jay teria negado o convite para cantar no show do Superbowl, como forma de apoio. Boato esse que ele mesmo confirmou na letra da música: "I said "no" to the "Superbowl, you need me, I don't need you" " e é quando ele canta esse verso que os homens se ajoelham e depois fazem a saudação. No fim das contas, acho que essa cena é um misto de "A Intervenção das Sabinas", dos Panteras Negras e de apoio ao Colin, que é um assunto bem fresco na mídia. E é essa junção do novo com o velho que deixa esse clipe tão incrível. FRIENDS é magnífica. Ela faz rap com melismas (uma das melhores partes). HEARD ABOUT US é a mais dançante, ela faz notas vocais super difíceis como, por exemplo, um trecho que ela parte de C#4 até C#3 e volta ao C#4 na mesma respiração. Incrível. AMEI Expand

    But seriously, the whole album is beautiful, wonderful and everything you want in a album. I love Nice, cause you can jam with your headphones as you prepare for next day rush (I work in the foodservice industry and we get a huge rush!)

    As an album it’s almost entirely soporifically dull though beautifully appointed throughout (and it’s a joy to hear Beyoncé rapping) by some smart production from both main protagonists and some slick grooves from the Daptone band. [Aug 2018, p.68]

    It's also a sonic master class in marital counseling and commitment, wherein Beyoncé emerges with the upper hand and a contrite Jay is lucky she's so gracious. Vocally, it's a similar story: Beyoncé shines here, balancing light rap verses ("Apeshit" and "Nice") with some of the prettiest vocals she's recorded in years ("Friends"), while Jay offers his standard braggadocious bars that nonetheless make an impact for their occasional honesty and humility.

    There’s a sense of immediacy and even unpredictability in the most restless moments on Everything In Love, which saves the album from being a rather static and defiant contemplation of The Carters’ victories.
