I obviously meant the two articles in the past week actually about Beyoncé. This one is not about her, but mentions her in both the title and multiple times in the interview.

Yes, twice this past week the AV Club readership failed to have an article about a powerful black woman's music without giving into their worst tendencies and it's my fault for thinking it's a load of shit and hope it doesn't happen again.

The production and the genre-bending in the album are incredible. "Hold Up" might be my favorite from the record, it's a very unusual-sounding song and the accompanying image of Beyoncé destroying stuff with a baseball bat named Hot Sauce is really fun.

This is amazing. Especially considering this is barely about her, I hope the intolerable smug whining about Beyoncé doesn't take over the comments section this time around.

I love Radiohead, but Creep is just the worst.

Two whole articles (3 if you count the review) about an important artist in the week their new album came out is not all the time or even that unusual. We don't need to go through this tedious nonsense every time, go snark at something else.

Congratulations! You avoided it for a whole day, here's your No-Prize:

If you think that, arguing with you about this album in any capacity is useless.

The oft-cited good old days. I've lurking for at least four years, it was a mix between very funny and tiresome a few years ago. What I actually mean by that, of course, is MAKE THE AV CLUB GREAT AGAIN.

Most art is made by rich and famous self-interested people, which doesn't invalidate its meaning. Your comment has nothing to do with Beyoncé or Lemonade, you are literally saying pop music never has any merit because one of its main goals is profit. That is simply incorrect and shallow. I don't know what else to say,…

I love how you say really obvious shit as if it's a great realization.

What part of pop culture don't you get? Pretty much nothing we talk about on this site is actually important, y'know (and that's fine). This is actually socially/culturally important and potentially impactful, which is a step up.

You are very cool and detached, man.

Considering that this album has been an unavoidable topic of conversation since Sunday, even for people who claim they don't care about Beyoncé as if they deserve a medal, it's the closest to a pop culture event a post-internet world is going to get.

We can't even have earnest analysis of what's likely to be one of the year's biggest/most interesting pop culture events on the AV Club without people being pointlessly whiny and condescending. I love this place, but cool it with the relentless snark.

You're probably right, but whether Beyoncé is the biggest pop artist in the world or simply one of the biggest is kinda irrelevant for my point.

The album is amazing. The reaction has been very interesting too, lots of people (and I do mean here on the AV Club) are very eager to deny and discredit Beyoncé and her importance on the cultural landscape when she, the biggest pop artist in the world, put out an album and a film that is entirely about different…

Here's my hot take: Lemonade is a very good album.

It's back! Yay!

Me too. I didn't expect much from Damon Lindelof, but I absolutely loved it.
