Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 24% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 73.8/100, a mean average of 72.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 73.9/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.4.

I admit I'm not a huge Beyonce fan but I really enjoyed this album. It is not as good as Lemonade but I would rate it as her third best behind both Lemonade and her self titled album from 2013.
If not for the cringe-worthy and failed Bayonetta impression in Alien Superstar, it would have been a better song, lol.
It's only Cuff It and this one that I could remember after listening to the record. The whole album's an attempt for going artsy that went south.
Having more formality than substance and entertaining tunes is a ubiquitous plague that ruins the production value of this record. Pure/Honey and Energy are quintessences in that regard, the former of which samples the famous Thundercat beat HA! in the vogue/voguing dance community dominated by gay and queer dancers. But I feel taken aback by the lack of soothingness so I would defo listen to HA! when given the two for choosing.
A prime candidate for a possible future chart of funniest album covers of all time.
Beyoncé’s focus on albums is to be appreciated. Many major artists only make them as vessels for singles, but “Renaissance” is a cohesive, flowing tribute to club music from the 70’s to the nineties. More than just being the sound of a club, it has its structure. Pulsating rhythms will blend from track to track like a DJ’s set. The blending is always immaculate, even when the songs are occasionally uneven in quality. Above the club sound is a record about confidence and fierce sexuality. While it can be absolutely powerful on tracks like “Virgo's Groove”, more often than not, it feels limited. The lyrics rely on a lot of the same imagery and verbiage. After a while, hearing Beyoncé talk about how great her body is and how rich she is takes out a lot of the subject’s mystique. Flaws and all, I do think the record achieves its goal of being the spirit of the nightclubbing on a wild night.

Why did Pitchfork put this at #1?
It's no Lemonade but it's pretty cool, especially the back half. It all flows together nicely like an endless dance club night out haha. Have been to a few haha, dancing in public isn't for me but I can see the appeal. They could literally just play this entire album and it'd be about the same as the nonstop dance music in your average club haha.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
