    Overrated artists, overrated music. It's pretty much the same all over again. No heart into this project I mean just took them 3 months to created.

    Horrible album with very generic production, bland songwriting, and even a poor vocal performance from Beyonce. A lot of pseudo-intellectual themes that come across as critic bait, there's a definite bias in favor of Beyonce amongst critics.

    it's trash and we all know that from the user score. It's like every rich couple showing off what they have.

    I have really been enjoying listening to the album, the more I listen to it the more I like it. I didn't expect this kind of album but I am very pleasantly surprised. My favorite songs are Apesh*t, Black Effect and Friends

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

    Awful album, the songs sound all the same, they are boring, I couldn't listen to any of them till the end. Beyoncé's last 4 albums were great, what happened?

    Everything is Love is the worst album from Beyonce. Not surprised though, her sales from Lemonade dips from 653000 versus to her latest release with 124000 sales.

    IT SUCKS! No substance. Don't want to hear anyone getting on the mic bragging about how rich they are. So what, who cares? It isn't doing anything for me or anyone else. 0 out of 10 stars. :-(

    It's a sound that we are used to. Everything may be love, but not the one for music. The duo combination seems more like a publicity stunt than an artistic encounter. There are no more refrains and melodies, just rhythms without any logical sense. It's a NO.

    This is, to put it simple: Extremely bad. A shame because it will not reflect on the critics score... They would probably rate it 100 when in reality it is not even a 40

    Everything is Love is fire of an album between the post powerful couple in music, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. The album completes the trilogy they started with "Lemonade", followed by "4:44".
    Great body of work and the visual for **** is indeed an artistic statement.

    Tbh queen Beyonce never fail me to impress through her music. I've been listening to her musics since when I was 8 yrs old and yes she improved a lot. I'm so proud of her bcoz she got pure talents and she use it in a good way. Fighting queen!

    Eu amo quando a Bey "encorpora" a rapper, ela fica tão debochada e feroz fazendo isso, acho q deve ser um alter-ego dela não é possível kkkkkk O Jay nem se fala, tem um "flow" perfeito por isso ele é o Rei kkkkk O album ta LINDOOO!!!!!

    When Beyoncé released her critically-acclaimed Grammy-winning #1 album "Lemonade", because we finally got a chance to see inside her very private life.

The fans rejoiced but jealous corny fans would still call their marriage fake. Then Jay Z released his #1 album "4:44" to confirm about his cheating past and the reconciliation. The haters seemed still not having it as they called it "a fake marketing campaign".

    Then comes this album. An album where both artists talk about forgiveness and their fantastic achievement with a lot of bangers, mostly integrates trap, reggae, soul, R&B.. This album is a proof that both Beyoncé and Jay Z has been evolving real hard aesthetically & sonically. Beyoncé finally shows off her rapping skill with great flows and Jay shows to the world who's in charge in the family. It is heavily produced and includes some of their best works.

    Even the APES**T video is stunning. Not only filled with extravagant fashion pieces, the video also feature some of the most famous art pieces in the most lavish museum in the world. Talking about promoting art to the next level.

    As for the haters:
    - Is it forbidden for two of the most successful & powerful black artists to talk about their amazing achievement?
    - Is it forbidden for B to release an album days after your favorite released a flop album which will only scan aluminum?
    - Stop saying "I miss the old Beyoncé" because, unlike your favorite, she is evolving. She's been releasing 6 different albums.

    Best Cuts: Summer, Friends, APES**T Nice & Boss.

    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.
