6 Inch will be a 10/10 once an enterprising member of the Hive edits out Abel's noise. Until then, Love Drought is my favorite track.
1. PRAY YOU CATCH ME (9/10)
2. HOLD UP (7/10)
3. DON'T HURT YOURSELF ft. Jack White (8/10)
4. SORRY (8/10 - the ending drags a bit, but the song is absolutely infectious)
5. 6 INCH ft. The Weeknd (9/10)
6. DADDY LESSONS (6/10 - the lyrics vacillate between inscrutable and juvenile)
7. LOVE DROUGHT (10/10 - the synths, the bass, the smooth as silk vocal delivery create the most lush atmosphere)
8. SANDCASTLES (6/10 - vocal showcase and little more)
9. FORWARD ft. James Blake (8/10)
10. FREEDOM ft. Kendrick Lamar (8/10 - love the verses, the bridge, and even Kendrick's guest bars, but the chorus succumbs to generic anthem syndrome)
11. ALL NIGHT (9/10 - perfect capper to the alberm)
12. FORMATION (8/10 - still a bop)
Overall, her most cohesive body of work, but the highs don't hit as hard as the best on her previous album (Partition, Haunted, Blow).
