Yup, it's still a great album. Especially seeing B in concert and hearing all of these again, Renaissance (& Lemonade) still stands as my favorite Beyoncé album.
can’t believe he went from doing “5 Years Later” retrospectives to just one year later. Soon he’s gonna do “one month later” retrospectives
It’s a legit fantastic record. Of course it still slaps.
It will forever slap.
how it lost to Harry Styles at the Grammies is beyond me
where the fuck is kanye when you need him
@@treycerr making lame divorced albums
@103.5Heaveneror when Taylor win over Kendrick’s tpab, the weeknd not even getting nominated for aoty, Kanye losing album of the year for mbdtf to adele, Beyoncé losing aoty to adele, Kendrick, jay z, childish gambino and Lorde losing aoty to Bruno mars, and Igor not even being nominated for aoty. Yeah I remember it all.
It's the grammys. I just don't understand why anyone cares about grammy results, it's just a bunch of out-of-touch Hollywood voters showing how out-of-touch they are. It shouldn't be taken seriously at all as a way to determine the quality of music.
inexplicable
Totally agree with you on the chorus of "ALIEN SUPERSTAR"! Probably my favourite song on the album!
Yup, especially with experience of the concert and remixes. Total banger!
Goated record. Shoulda won aoty grammy
lmao good one
WHAT LMAO
over Harry's house? sure. over mmatbs? close but no
I would've preferred Mr Morale, but I definitely understand the praise for Renaissance, and would rather it win than fucking Harry's House that album is so boring
Prepare for the next year when SOS loses to MIDnights
Beyoncé's best album for sure
Same, took me a bit to get into it but it’s my favorite album of hers.
It's the transitions
whenever i listen to it on a playlist i have to add at least the next 2 tracks to queue, it makes for a better album but it's also a really smart move in the "increasing stream count" way (at least if there are others that do the same thing haha)
like the last 15 secs of i'm that girl build up to cozy so hard that if anything else comes up next it feels as if someone switched channels on the tv when i was most involved
Yes, this is my favorite Beyoncé album and one of the best pop albums we’ve gotten this decade.
Excellent album!
Yea but MOVE with legendary Grace Jones and PURE/HONEY?! These were the best imo
W!!! but you didn’t talked bout the two best tracks on the album (pure/honey and heated)
I see dolby atmos logo, is he using tidal?
Apple Music has Dolby Atmos
listen to her self-titled album again 🥵
He's Right
Unmesswithable is a word
Lemonade is a 9/10.. possibly a 10/10 for me. Renaissance is my second fab bey album tho, like an 8/10
It deserved at least a decent 9. HEATED and PURE/HONEY are the core of the ballroom influence on the album but he didn't get it 🙄
Better than Lemonade???
Hell yeah. Renaissance > S/T >> Lemonade
Although I like Renaissance, I still prefer Lemonade...
Way better than lemonade imo. Lemonade tried out some things, and for the most part it works great, but there were a couple missteps, like Sorry and Daddy’s Lessons. Whereas Renaissance is just perfection. Renaissance is a top 3 album of all time for me
I love this album, is your rating still the same?
The album is great I just hate the single choices she never does great with picking the singles
The album is amazing it grew on me heavily and been revisiting it a lot lately.
her concert was so good bro she performs the songs just as good as they are on the album
I agree, I just saw her a few days ago
It's quite unfortunate such an amazing album had the worst rollout on Bey's career. No promo, no visuals, nothing...
??? She did basically the same exact thing for Lemonade. It’s a flex: she doesn’t “need” to actually hype her albums because they’ll sell regardless.
Beyonce usually never promotes her albums anyways. But it’s clear that she’s at a point in her career that the doesn’t really care about the numbers or attention
@@TheSkaOreoLemonade had a whole movie. Bey teased multiple visuals for Renaissance and released none which is really quite a shame since this album had the most potential to be the most visually stunning of her eras
You are the visual baby
@@RichterCabelloexactly. seeing her show and the visuals that were presented on the jumbotron, like the visuals would’ve been so good when it released
you are correct
I wasn’t a fan of this, probably still not but I respect it. It’s a meh for me
It's definitely a grower for many. Maybe watch the live versions from the tour - they bring the music to life
@@reuben3588 bet
My favorite album of all time. Not a single miss
It actually is my fav bey record too not surprising although lemonade very close and pretty much at the same level
Same, but her self titled is second for me
Same, but her self titled is second for me
Pure/Honey and Summer Renaissance are the only tracks I return to
Imo Renaissance is the best album of the 21st century so far
ANTI deserves a redux.
@103.5Heavener there is one (kinda barely) skip on the whole album, needed me. that's also only because its the only track that isn't timeless on the record. all the other songs sound great and have aged really well.
@@kierogd2292 what's the skip for you
@@reuben3588 as i said. needed me
Day 5 of waiting for The Loveliest Time
This album is still great. I'm feeling a light 6.
Lmao 😂
what about Dawn FM?
Yo first
dont care
nuh uh
Anthony you remind me of the white people in get out
Love BEAM
Say THANK YOU hundreds of used samples ❤️
Dance music is quite literally built on samples lmaoooo. Would you say the same thing for a daft punk record
y'all aren't smart and do not understand music. beyoncé has proved to us many many MANY times that she can make phenomenal music without any samples. she can even make authentic traditional or 'old-school' music without samples (we all know love on top). the whole point of renaissance WAS to sample. look up the meaning of the word renaissance. she revisited old songs and old genres and cleverly adapted them in a modern context.
Lol 20 people to write one song on "alien superstar" lol
That's been the usual lately for plenty of artists, including even rappers like Ye and Travis. However, like Anthony said, this has been one of the cases were it felt like the names were there for a reason and they played a role on it. Plus, Beyonce is famous for crediting every person that helps, even if it's just adding a snare 5 seconds before the music end.
@@xandysaid oh I know it's just funny to me
y'all still don't know how sample credits work in 2023? girl 20 people did not write on the song, even if they did who cares because lyrically, alien superstar is immaculate and top 5 in her entire discography for lyricism 😭 beyoncé choosing to collaborate with intelligent musicians, songwriters, producers etc shouldn't be a problem...
@@Invertedworldxsongwriting ≠ lyrics.
Songwriting = arrangements + music + lyrics (including sampled sounds, interpolated lyrics).
Plus Beyoncé noted that EACH song is supposed to exceed 5 minutes long but it isn't supposed to and she has to trim it down. Imagine if it's untrimmed. 21 songwriters is completely NORMAL if it means a perfect pop song.
Just listened to it, lots of meh tracks, a few good ones.
america has a problem still the best song off the album
With Kendrick it's even better! Love it!
@@dor4376 ong
absolutely, the interpolation of classic southern production made it better than perfect and her flow was insane on the hook
Melon just because its not called "Kids See Renaissance" doesn't mean you have to give it a -10000000 and curse Beyonces entire bloodline
The answer is no
Drake gave her the blueprint
You a lie
????????
never listened
queen b more like queen m because her music is MID
It was never good
Hard disagree. Your chickens will now be confiscated
