I'm really not feeling Renaissance... I listened only once all the way through, and while I bopped along to some songs, nothing really jumped out at me. I'll need to spend more time with it, but Folklore captured me immediately so I voted for that.

 

For now, Folklore > Renaissance (and also Beyonce ST >> Lemonade > Renaissance if that matters)

these two have next to nothing in common  but I guess I'm sleep deprived as f*ck so I'll offer my current two cents

 

personally, Folklore is an album whose tracks I return to in different capacities at least 10 times a month for the past two years, and honestly I don't think I can see Renaissance having the same effect with its melodies or lyrics in mind. that doesn't mean that I don't like Renaissance after the first night, in fact I loooove certain tracks such as Cuff It and Virgo's Groove! but there is a slight melodic element which feels lacking compared to Folklore. however, this is after about 13 hours of it being released, so nuances can of course gradually unfurl

okay and let me also reiterate that I love the music of BOTH of these ladies, they're both talented af

Renaissance has flavor so that.

Both are better than Chromatica

folklore of course. An album with no mumbling, no fillers, no pretentiousness, no laughable lyrics, and most of all melodies

Folklore aka the best album of the decade so far.

Folklore is simply better.

This is the most absurd comparison any of you could come up with anyways folklore AND RENAISSANCE >>>>>>> your fave's discography and that's that on that

Folklore and it's not even close

folklore is the best album of all time, so of course it wins. 

Both amazing albums but I'm more of an upbeat music guy so I'll go with Renaissance.
