    Esse álbum é conceitual, é o significado de perfeição. É uma obra prima!! Os sons cativantes, os toques, as melodias, além da altas críticas sociais e os visuais. É uma álbum que te mostra a realidade, é esclarecedor, é monumental!

    Facilmente top 3 melhores álbuns do século. Que álbum Beyoncé, que álbum.
    Como diria Adele "só monumental Beyoncé, SO MONUMENTAL"

    OBRA DE ARTE!!! melhor album da bey junto com o Renaissance. A produção é perfeita, os visuais são os mais profundos da carreira e as referências são insanas.

    Creative, bold, cohesive, innovative. Visually I would give the album a 10, but I took off a point from all the spoken word interludes that could have been avoided. Although the album took 72 writers/producers and Beyonce acted more along the lines of a Musical Director - it still produced some of the most interesting music of the year. The production is top notch crisp and to the point.

    No seu 6º álbum de estúdio, ''Lemonade'', a cantora, aqui ativista, repete a fórmula de álbum visual do seu bem sucedido disco de 2013, o autointitulado ''Beyoncé''.

    Sem deixar o seu nada modesto time de compositores e produtores, Beyoncé que vem mostrando mais pretensão e liberdade artística desde o seu ''4'' de 2011, não nos decepciona e consegue mostrar que é capaz de evoluir e superar o sucesso de crítica, marketing e vendas que foi seu último disco.
    O diferencial em relação ao seu último álbum visual - que tinha vários curtas para cada música, é que esse foi apresentado na HBO em forma de um filme único de pouco mais de 1 hora, que pega carona no movimento #blacklivesmatter e faz críticas a violência policial contra negros e ao racismo, tema recorrente no repertório de artistas mais recentemente aclamados como Kendrick Lamar - que aqui aparece na ótima ''Freedom''.
    No seus últimos trabalhos, Beyoncé vinha com abordagem no empoderamento feminino, como nas faixas ''Run the World (Girls)'' de 2011 e na ''Flawless'' de 2013 - onde ela repete o discurso feminista da escritora nigeriana Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Em ''Lemonade'', que tem o título justificado pela cantora do fato histórico de que os negros acreditavam que beber limonada, clarearia a sua pele, Beyoncé defende-se de críticas de que ela estaria se afastando da cultura negra, ''embranquecendo'' e de episódios de racismo, como uma petição online onde assinaturas pediam para que a cantora penteasse o cabelo de sua filha, Blue Ivy - (I like my baby heir with baby hair) de ''Formation'''.
    Mesmo que se trate de mais um álbum visual, nesses nós acabamos por ter muito mais que ouvir do que ver, como em vários momentos do disco, a cantora nos deixa escapar uma suposta traição do seu marido, o rapper Jay-Z, com quem ela sempre ostentou toda a felicidade e sucesso do seu casamento - “He only want me when I'm not there / He better call Becky with the good hair.” (''Sorry'').
    Se nós formos fazer mais comparações com o último trabalho de Beyoncé, fica mais evidente ainda o quanto ''Lemonade'' é um disco versátil e passeia por vários gêneros, como por exemplo o rock na faixa ''Don't Hurt Yourself'' que conta com a participação de Jack White, ''Daddy Lessions'' que faz nos lembrar a origem texana da Beyoncé em uma junção de country e soul, ou na trap music presente em ''Sorry'', além ainda de gêneros como hip-hop, blues, funk e gospel que complementam o restante do álbum.
    Por trás de tanto marketing, em turnês milionárias, apresentações no 'Super Bowl' e álbuns visuais lançados de ''surpresa'', fica a lição de que tem como sim fazer um trabalho pop de qualidade e consistência e ainda ter voz pra tratar de temas importantes e sérios, Beyoncé que conversa com a gente no presente, transforma limões em uma limonada.

    Destaques: Hold Up, Don't Hurt Yourself, Sorry e Daddy Lessions.    … Expand

    Lemonade is a genre bending album that tells the struggle of a relationship dealing with infidelity, from grief to anger and reconciliation this album does something very few are able to do... tell a story.

    Lemonade hits with visceral force, stemming from her celebrity status as an icon and the brutal truth that she is a pained human being. With that said, her latest effort is nearly perfect, blending atmospheric melodies with heartbreaking lyrics. This will surely go down in the history books.

In an era where albums are diluted down to quick singles and people focusing on singular songs, she takes us all for a ride and forces us to take in this body of work as a whole. The music itself is as experimental as anything she's ever done, and she pretty much nails it. You can clearly note a succession of emotions as the album progresses, going from the first angry songs to the latter joyous/less hard hitting ones. The highlight has got to be Freedom where she sounds as powerful as ever, and the Kendrick guest spot doesn't disappoint. Surely another album that will get thousands talking, and probably one that will be remembered for a long time to come.… Expand

    'Lemonade' shows us a vulnerable and honest side of Beyoncé that fans and critics have never seen before. With this new album, Bey invites us into her personal life and lets us see what's behind the curtains. Not only do we get to see a different side of her lyrically, but also musically, with her exploring new music genres such as folk country in Daddy Lessons and Soul in Freedom.

Overall this was a total success! The fact that there is a movie for this album as well, showing the visual aspect of the songs, shows how much artistic integrity she has. With this insanely creative album, Beyoncé has put herself in the same lane as Madonna: controversial and shocking, but still classy and iconic.

    I can't understand why some people are saying this album is boring, yes it's different, but the way the album progresses and transforms is absolutely liberating listening to. A word of advice for people who say it's boring: Try and really listen to the words and see the story it tells.    … Expand

    the absolute climax of the album, both musically and symbolically, is reached during «All Night» - a song so powerful that it feels literally unreachable. while throughout the whole album, beyoncé's vocal strength is evident on this perfectly produced LP with a fascinating story-line, carried by remarkable lyrics and even accompanied by an exceptional visual album.

Yes the songs in this album are not fit for pop mainstream radio but the instrumentation and vocals are pristine and polished.

    When talking about Beyonce, Prince once said that she would meet full musical peak if she learned piano. She shows that talent off here with the emotional "Sandcastles". In the wake of Prince's death, Beyonce's LEMONADE simply reminds the public that there is still art to be made, and that one day she will be another legend whose death will create a deep hole in the musical community.When talking about Beyonce, Prince once said that she would meet full musical peak if she learned piano.

    The visual components of LEMONADE should all be praised, as all could sweep the VMAs in essentially every category if the award show actually had significant merit.

    Beyond that, Beyonce's voice-overs provide an artistic and emotional depth that has yet to be matched by modern artists.

    In contrast to Self-Titled, which came off as Beyonce trying hard to pretend that she isn't a try-hard (see: Haunted's "probably won't make no money off this" knowing damn well she would make money), LEMONADE is Beyonce at her most honest, open, and emotional. She defies genre and defies expectation as she pushes a body of work that is worthy of all the acclaim she has received. Art takes effort, and Beyonce has produced a masterpiece here.    … Expand

The reason why I love this album so much is that she talks about topics that I can relate to. As a black male, I really appreciated how Beyoncé raised awareness about the oppression that black people faced for several years and are still facing today. It makes me really happy that someone as influential and powerful as Beyoncé is bringing awareness to an issue that affects not only me but several people around the world. Beyoncé's Lemonade contains lyrics that touch your soul and amazing production that will keep you mesmerized for days, and for that reason, this album deserves nothing less than a 10/10.

    A surprisingly varied album, "Lemonade" offers a wide number of sounds and styles, that somehow manages to get along with each other. The album is powerful and has a controversial back story in it that Beyoncé herself took the time to tell and explore among the listeners. Standout tracks include "Pray You Catch Me", "Don’t Hurt Yourself", "6 Inch", "Daddy Lessons", "Freedom" and "All Night".

    Beyoncé's Lemonade represents grief in the best way possible. It empowers, it inspires, and it also gives attention to social and political issues. As poppy as Beyoncé's music tends to be, you can see this albums risks in instrumentation. The second track, "Hold up" shows this type of risk.

It sounds good on some moments but lacks interesting topics. You had me fooled on "Formation" and then it starts to get shallow.

    It's quite good. Freedom, Don't Hurt Yourself and 6 Inch are top songs in my opinion. I really liked this album but none of these songs are as good as Beyonce's best songs like 7/11 and Halo, but that doesn't mean the album is bad, it's just not the best work of Beyonce.

    such a beautiful and strong album. One of her best albums. Love the production, meaningful lyrics, and great vocal. But after this, I hope she stops making "race-inspired" lyrics.

    Lemonade hits hard. Beyonce has chosen to portray herself like this, and those choices are bold, powerful and at times, properly shocking. [#361, p.110]

    Never short on vocal confidence, here, she trades divadom for arresting, unconventional shapes. [Jul 2016, p.69]

    By effortlessly topping her own best work. Lemonade now sets a new standard for cross-genre collaboration.
