base talk Renaissance vs. Cowboy Carter: better act?

[Princess Aurora]

I think both albums work together as a pendant 

[CallumDavies]

ATRL agreeing that Renaissance and Cowboy Carter are both masterpieces 

 

[Kern]

Renaissance is too gay for me sometimes 

[KevinDG]

I chose Renaissance but I had to listen several times to it to really love it so maybe that's also the case with Cowboy Carter.

[Reginald]

Renaissance was an excellent album full of tracks I still revisit.

 

Cowboy Carter.. Yeah, no.

[watermelonshake]

Renaissance, but they are both really good. 

[TheseThingsHappen]

Renaissance

[KOMH]

Renaissance is not better in any capacity I fear, CC clears

[CaptainMusic]

Renaissance made me love Beyoncé, I liked Lemonade and a lot of her songs but thought she was a bit overrated in the 2010s.

 

But Renaissance deserved the hype.  

 

Cowboy Carter is good too but not on the same level.

Don't let the narrative convince you that dance pop music is somehow inferior now, cause Renaissance is a way smarter, more thought out and groundbreaking of a record

Say it louder, sis

This was my exact same experience too 

 

After Renaissance I went back to listen to her older stuff and I was like oh...now I get it

Cowboy Carter is a massive downgrade from Renaissance. It's like going from an iphone to android. I only like 4-5 songs on Cowboy while Renaissance has zero skips. I loved seeing that on tour but this album isn't tour worthy at all 

It's bloated with interludes and fillers. half the **** doesn't make sense and contributes nothing to the album. It's all over the place.

 

a senseless, bloated playlist of randomness. I hope act 3 is better than this :/ This won't get her the AOTY she wants so bad.. I'm just disappointed so excuse the meltdown. Renaissance is my second fave album of all time

Cowboy is so boring

 

[OrgVisual]

Still Ren for me. A skipless and flawless album

 

The way everything flows together is chef's kiss

 

[Shimenawa]

Renaissance 

 

Not here for boring country music

[Sannie]

Rennie is the kind of album you expect from an artist at Beyonce's caliber. It was referential yet exciting and new, and it pushed a lot of boundaries IMO.

 

Cowboy Carter is just Beyonce trying to win AOTY. Its desperation is palpable, but I do appreciate the effort.

CC clears easily. Renny is an awful album

I disagree but CC is definitely the better album. Renaissance has bangers but CC speak to the soul

[Bears01]

Cowboy Carter clicked for me INSTANTLY 

[Blumoon]

CC was better halfway through.  Renaissance is good though. 

[Marianah Adkins]

I dont know what yall are hearing cuz Rennie is not that good. Honestly the one Beyonce album where I'm perplexed by its acclaim. It feels so reductive for her tbh

 

Cowboy on the other hand 

[DiamondHeart]

Renaissance I liked from first listen but it took me while to really love the whole album from start to finish. Great album experience meant to be listened to all at once, just amazing. Cowboy Carter is not blowing me away at all, and it's not the genre I listen to the most. I recognize it's all quality work but maybe it also will as time passes.
