Some thoughts on the album:

I understand what Beyonce is trying to do here by creating a dance album. There some very good songs on here like plastic off the sofa and Virgo's groove. But outside of those few very good records the album as a whole is is just “ok” imo.

There’s very little appeal musically for us straight males. The further you get into the album you realize Bey just created another album for women and gays to twerk too. Subject matter is very bland and surface level. For someone who is labeled with an almost mythical black queen image her music has very little substance.

Kendrick’s music has so many more layers and depth to it, it’s crazy to think Kendrick has surpassed Beyoncé musically in nearly every way. I know it’s a strange comparison, but I consider Bey and Kendrick two of the top in their genre.

Solange also makes better music

What is this shyt? Couldn’t get past 4th track. I understand it’s a dance album but that shyt was rhythmless.

Wow this was horrible.

CACS make better house music than this :dahell:

This is truly late state capitalism where we have one gigantic bloated ass artists doing soulless zombified covers of reference tracks created by real musicians who will never see light beyond a random in house studio.

Shyt is embarrassing I can tell none of the tracks on here are her own style. Probably ain’t create none of that shyt.

I ain’t gonna lie some of the tracks are hot garbage but the point I was trying to say earlier is that it’s still harder than that Drake album which is what’s considered as weak garbage.

This a shock and awe type album.

Renaissance era has some shock and awe type art too.

Album concept is legit cause some of them paintings and sculptures were wack too.

You get both the good and the bad with this album.

shyt still bangs.
