base talk If you had to delete one of Beyonce's last 4 albums?

[Axolotl]

Accidentally voted Ren but Lemonade is my pick. 4 is criminally underrated just because it underperformed. Self-Titled is her best album for me in my opinion and Ren is a great introduction for her to newer audiences. Lemonade on the other hand is underwhelming when compared to ST that was released before it, plus with all the Tidal stuff, it didn't really get rooted in my library for me to truly appreciate it

[TipToe]

Renaissance or 4, voted on the former because it lacks timeless tracks like "1+1" or "LOT", such staples on her live concerts. I don't see any Ren tracks getting to this level.

[Aethereal]

4 is extremely loud so that.

Lemonade was a massive upgrade in terms of artistry, arguably her best work. Daddy's lessons, 6 Inch, Hold Up, the videos etc. Extremely nostalgic and aesthetically pleasing like you're entering a vintage movie.

[Soda Pop Queen]

It would be hard to delete any of them because they are all so different yet beget the succeeding album. Like there'd be no X without Y kind of thing. Her evolution is too important to the paradigm to be deleting albums like she's some random singles girl. I'd even have trouble choosing from her 00s output.

Renaissance can go, the songs are fun and enjoyable but all sound the same. There's little to no difference between one song and the next. The album is cohesive but not many songs to me stand out like they did on Lemonade.

 

4 was fantastic and I've learnt to appreciate the music. Songs like Love On Top, End of Time, Countdown, I Miss You and Run The World were just great. I'm not a fan of ST but she has songs like Drunk In Love and Pretty Hurts which are better than anything on Renaissance.

 

Lemonade is Beyonce's best album

 

Lemonade > 4 > ST > Renaissance 

[Zefierce]

RENAISSANCE and Lemonade can both be deleted and nothing of importance would be lost.

This is so wrong

The songs are sonically extremely different

[prézli]

4

 

Don't Hurt Yourself saves Lemonade.

 

 

[unino]

Lemonade is so forgotten and doesn't really have bops

[Topaz]

Lemonade has Love Drought and All Night so Ren has to go.

[Feanor]

'Lemonade' is basically already erased judging by its current consumption metrics, so that. 

[SlowGinFizzzz]

Beyoncé and Renaissance are obviously untouchable. Musically I prefer 4 over Lemonade, but Lemonade was one of the most important moments in her career trajectory and it's such an essential part of her legacy, so I'd probably delete 4. 

[ahauntingnearu]

CAN'T do it. I guess ST, then REN, then LEMON, then 4. 

 

But why deny yourself beautiful things

[Mystic Boy]

4 has:

Party

End of Time

I Miss You

Dance For You

Countdown

Love On Top

 

Lemonade has:

Pray You Catch Me

Hold Up

Dont Hurt Yourself

Daddy Lessons

Love Drought

All Night

 

[Summerboy95]

Lemonade of course. Terrible album for me

[Bloo]

Lemonade is one of my favorite albums ever. So it’s safe. 4 and ST are also both fantastic and two of my favorite Beyoncé albums. Renaissance is a good album that accomplishes what it sets out to do, but it’s not really for me. So I’m gonna delete Renaissance. 

[Mr.X]

4

 

Her later albums are her best

[GoatGly]

I’ll delete myself these are some of the greatest albums made by a pop star imo

[Bacardo Royale]

4 can go

 

Lemonade grew on me a lot once she put it on spotify , I get why it was so praised 

[Chris]

People saying Lemonade are so weird.

 

Anyways, sorry 4.

[Asscatchem]

i was going to say 4 but then remembered it has Love On Top, Countdown, I Care, 1+1 so it's lemonade i fear despite being an important career milestone
