Eh tbh some interludes are less interesting than the little 13 Beaches intro, so I feel like she's flirted with the idea of incorporating vintage audio/old Hollywood film monologues into her work. I'm fine with them being part of the song and not a separate track that ruins my shuffle experience lol 3 Quote ⊹ (:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅) ⊹ 𓊔 I took the miracle move on drug 𓊔 ⚕️ The effects were temporary ⚕️ ⊹ (:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅) ⊹ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I like how it works within the context of Frank Ocean, Beyonce, and others. I'm not sure if it would be the right fit for Lasso though - especially since it might come across as copying Bey. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thats why they call me Dita 9,282 Posted April 4 My vinyl arrived yesterday and it sounded even better, the bass! I was actually so miffed that they missed off spaghetti and ya ya! Honestly this album is something else! 0 Quote like a dream, you glide on the water and like a star, I shine from the shore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lili 3,175 Posted April 4 Never really been a Beyoncé fan though I liked Lemonade but this record is sooo good. She’s so soulful? Also, she’s not afraid to be vulnerable which is refreshing. She has that special combination of power and vulnerability which was what drew me to Lana in the first place. “Daughter” is such an exceptional track which blew my mind the first time I heard it. I’d die if Lana did something like that. The only tracks that don’t do anything for me are Levi’s Jeans and Jolene, I’ll be spending a lot of time with the rest 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was already an incredible performer, the greatest imo, and she's solidifying that reality into the music. This is amazing. Ya Ya and Daughter live, can you even imagine? Fuck. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chemtrail 3,070 Posted April 4 I can't with Riiverdance yet, the lyrics are mostly bullshit followed by great verses, I don't care for II Most Wanted or Levii's Jeans either. Love this album so much though. Getting me through some difficult times. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
American Whore 50,273 Posted April 5 i am not a beyonce stan by any means, i don't like her voice like a lot of people do, i just think a lot of her vocals are either overlayered or overfiltered, but i will admit she has a few bops. the overlayering happens on this album sometimes, it just sounds overdone to me. (also, i didn't listen to the whole album, it's a long one.) with that said, however, i very much like her version of jolene. she made it her own but kept the soul of that song while making it modern and refreshed and new. and dolly herself obviously likes this version. i also like the next song after jolene, daughter. she's doing a weird vibrato on this album that maybe i've never noticed before in her voice - i can't tell if she's doing it on purpose or if it's just her voice and a detail i'd never heard until she did this album. also, the fact she fucking said "cunty" on spaghetti is SENDING ME. i need to listen to this album in full, i can tell it's special 0 Quote if i fuck this model and she just bleached her asshole and i get bleach on my t-shirt, imma feel like an asshole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mer 58,371 Posted April 5 Got my vinyl today. Similar to Renaissance, the sound quality is incredible. One of the best in my collection. Not a single instance of sibilance, or a pop or click. Still peeved about the "limited translucent black" copy that I bought being just standard black vinyl that's now sold on Amazon. My favorite tracks currently: Tyrant Ameriican Requiem Daughter Just For Fun Bodyguard 1 Quote ⊹ (:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅) ⊹ 𓊔 I took the miracle move on drug 𓊔 ⚕️ The effects were temporary ⚕️ ⊹ (:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅) ⊹ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure a proper Cowboy Carter vinyl will be released very soon. Probably a box set, like the “standard” Renaissance vinyl was. 1 Quote ⊹ (:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅) ⊹ 𓊔 I took the miracle move on drug 𓊔 ⚕️ The effects were temporary ⚕️ ⊹ (:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅) ⊹ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make me your Dream Life 85,773 Posted April 6 Just got my vinyl (: but I'm hoping they release the standard cover tho. The missing songs, and the lack of the booklet's a bit of a bummer. Also, good on her again for putting out this genre/ however blend out there. I've been listening to reviews, so the algorithm's been also recommending these vids about controversy. and I'm glad she's triumphant from them. honestly, the "backlash" is annoying. this sound feels authentic to her and it sounds great. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pin up galore 18,729 Posted April 6 I just listened to my vinyl copy for the first time after holding off cause I wanted to gain a good sense of the full streaming album before I listened to my vinyl so I could notice the differences and tbh the five missing tracks kinda make listening to it in full a lot easier like it is a BEAST of an album so cutting off some of the short tracks like FLAMENCO, LINDA MARTELL, and OH LOUISIANA I did not miss them tbh SPAGHETTI and YAYA are kinda bummers that they aren't on but they're both kinda outliers on the album and that DAUGHTER -> ALLIGATOR TEARS 1-2 punch hits different and idk it just kinda tightened up the record and was interesting to listen to what the OG BEYINCÉ album was like the extended outro to TYRANT was completely fine idk why she cut out the first part of the outro refrain?? weird choice imo it was fine how it was 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
palemoonbaby 14,570 Posted April 6 this pretty grew on me. whole project feels like really warm Spring/beginning of Summer. she nailed as always💅 still cutting some unnecessary songs (and gonna make palemoonbaby version soon) 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
