lol, i always knew this would be used against me one day correct What does "spontaneous" or "punk" mean in this context? Nothing on here was as gut wrenching as "Blue" or "Heaven" and nothing was as sexy as "rocket" or "partition." the self titled is one of the best records of the last 16 years so it's not even remotely a knock on this one. I'm not really about arguing minute differences in qualities of these records, just more of an off the cuff response to someone (maybe dustin) saying this is her best.
very interesting that after "irreplaceable" was originally written to be a country hit she circled back to make "daddy lessons"
Yup was me and everything you're saying is entirely valid. And I agree with your reasoning as well, just prefer this album (so far) which is the beauty of music and of Beyoncé that we can have 2 damn near perfect albums to enjoy
It's crazy how much has changed from self titled to lemonade - the former was a sexy love letter to her marriage and husband and lemonade has visuals of Yonce throwing her wedding ring to the ground
Just listened. That's an album to listen multiple times and unpack. Wow. The songs with Kendrick and Abel were stunning. Formation at the end was straight fire.
@Chaplain Tappman Why is her not having as many sexual songs reason to say this isn't as good as self-titled?
Included immediately before I said that was "nothing as gut wrenching as "heaven"...and it's not even about quantity, it's that the songs on here that scanned as "sexy" on my first pass through didn't match the accomplishments of those songs in the same realm...it had absolutely nothing to do with "less sexual songs" = worse.
What comes before it doesn't change how it read to me. Either way, I don't understand why you're being as condescending as you are
I don't get why you are trying to start something with him? Literally nowhere did he say anything close to what you are claiming.
If you were closer to Nashville, I have a second one currently available. Listened to this again. I really like it, but my initial reaction is that it's still not better than s/t or Four.
