It's pretty hard to say the stans, the stans prop up every Veyonce album. This is the highest reviewed album in any genre since TPAB. As I mentioned though, that super high score is most likely due to it being a woman talking about some unfiltered real shyt which really doesn't happen too often. Specially not a pop super star or RnB singer and she does this for the first time 18 years deep into her career,
That along with her checking of every box of the "dope music" list. Eg dope production, mixing mad sounds and styles but having flawless sequencing, not sounding like anything out, vocal execution and delivery was perfectly aligned with the feelings she was trying to convey. It's a dope ass album, it might edge out Malibu for me but not yet. Time will tell. And before the last album I never thought that I would play a full Beyoncé twice.
