    It's a great album, simple and elegant. Came to know about the album after it was a trending topic on twitter. Amazing work!

    Beautiful album. Although it seems to be Beyonce ft. her husband, Beyonce's surprise releases have yet to disappoint.

    this album is a portrayal of Beyonce and Jay z 's world. through this album you can hear the anger, the love they have for each other. they also have the ability to weave real word topics in their music. they battle topics such as the athlete's protests to the incarceration of black men in such a simple way. they have truly cultivated a timeless album.

    This album was such an amazing journey. A story about their love, family and fame. They open up about their struggles and their place in the world and how they feel about it. They also talk about how at the end of the day, beyond all the sparkling wonders of fame, they are just people, like anyone else.
    It's captivating and rewarding. Don't miss it.

    The Carters are a great duo as we all know but in this project, they use their music to communicate with their fans. Its not the typical Beyoncé we're used to though. She has simply reached a level in her career that she can do whatever she wants whether we like it or not. The album is great

    Every single track off the album is carefully crafted in both tune & production. Every track gives off a different vibe that takes you through a hip hop/ RnB dream and after listening to it once you can’t help but listen to it again and again. This album deserves a listen from everyone because it honestly is THAT amazing!

    I'm loving that this album is from a power couple, a black power couple. EIL show's the struggles of love; the good times, the bad times, the heartache but in the end Everything Is Love. BTW, Black Effect is it!!

    I love the songs on Everything is Love my favorites being Apes**t, Summer, Friends and Boss. Love the different sounds and musical influences every song has. Beyonce proves once again that she is a true artist. The album itself is a work of art. Beyonce and Jay Z should be proud.

    The only word I want to use to describe this album is: masterpiece. The way Beyoncé and Jay-Z worked out their personal life and showed us their growth is just beautiful. They definitely took trap music to another level with amazing beats and great bars. It's for the culture and I'm living!
    I listened to this album for the BTSxARMY collab but I genuinely fell in love with it.

    The Carters beautifully captured the arts in r&b and Hip Hop with a mix of today's music, Incredible masterful and thought through from the first song to the last it was a roller coaster of emotion it's egoistic of the player that was speaking throughout the music tracks.

Even not as a fan of Beyonce you'd love this album. Take my words generously and buy the album before it hits the waves of social media, get a good glimpse of literature in music.… Expand

    To be honest, because this album was released out of the blue, i didn’t really know what to expect. But of course, Beyonce & Jay Z never fail to impress us. Apes**t definitely is the soul of this album. I love how they express themselves in this song. Not to mention that extraordinary MV that impress everyone. But my personal favorite is BOSS. You can never go wrong with that song. ThisTo be honest, because this album was released out of the blue, i didn’t really know what to expect. But of course, Beyonce & Jay Z never fail to impress us.

    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.
