Yeah, the more I'm seeing these deep dives and VERY controversial takes of Cowboy Carter, that have been going viral on TikTok and Twitter. I think there may be a lot more factors that P4K is considering than we even know or see. So it could very much explain the 8.4 rating.

What takes?

You're stuck to me all night

 

Stuck in me all night

 

First daughter listen of the day and whew

Oh he ate

 

 

I don't like to sit up in the saddle boy I got it
Just relax I got this

I got that exotic
Hips are so hypnotic

I am such a tyrant

That's good, this is what releasing more consistently can do for her.

Her catalog including Rennie is actually doing 15mio on average (in terms of daily streams). Hope CC boosts it to 20mio overall

Both IASF and DIL are getting closer and closer to doing 2m daily streams and Renny is still doing 2.6m. Self Titled has stabilised around 1m. It's crazy how in 2022 Beyonce was being made fun of for only having one album doing 1m+ daily reliably. Soon we will have 4 albums above 2m daily (CC, Reneigh, IASF and DIL).

Yeah I think a loooottt of these critics are trying to make her "work" for these 10s given they don't want people thinking they just gave her the 10s because "she's Beyoncé". And since it's relatively a newer genre for her. If they did they may be scared of losing some sort of validity (when they won't lmao). But with these critics I'm getting this weeirrddd feeling that Beyonce raises the bar too high, to the point where they kinda get jealous of her . She created such an insane body of work, and I think some of them get a little mad at the fact that they wish they could do that… but they can't. So they try to give her a "slightly lower score" in order to "humble" her lmao.
 

It's weird, but I think there's a certain level of jealousy that may be at play. But maybe I'm wrong! Lmao! 

This was my pov reading The Washington Post review. The same reviewer gave RENAISSANCE a glowing review and completely [tried to] obliterate COWBOY CARTER

We really need visuals more so now than in the RENAISSANCE era. CC just screams "VISUALS NOW PLEASE!!” 
 

but the fact of the missing tracks gives me we're not getting visuals until end of year teas

Something that makes me really (!) Happy to see tho is the fact that the streams for all other Bey projects remained stable despite the CC drop. This was not the case during Rennie, so I believe this is a first sign of Bey building up her streaming power

She's also planting the seeds for her transition to a legacy act should she start flopping in the West. She started community outreach on countries she never tours at!

 

Africa (The Gift), Brazil (Renaissance) and Japan (Cowboy Carter). I wonder which one is next!

Don't forget to make a thread!

Riverdance, Ya Ya, Most Wanted, Levis, Spaghetti, Jolene, Texas, 16 Carriages, Sweet, II Hands, Bodyguard, Tyrant. The album has soooo many good songs and I can't stop listening. I even love the Smoke Hour - Texas transition. This album may be better than RENAISSANCE.

I will say I am starting to become disappointed by you guys posting so many chart and stream updates and not talking more about the music. I am chart hive so I get it, trust me, but we have 27 songs and it's been a few days now, you guys should be heavy into this album. Finding themes, listening for background layering, finding connections between songs and making a connection the the body of work. I guess I see why she didnt do visuals for RENAISSANCE now and it does make sense, mother always knows best.

 

Don't let the MUSIC get swept up and left behind. **** a chart, success or not.

 

This era is magic.

Ya Ya is so good. It really sounds like something Janelle Monae would have done, but it's Beyoncé so it's just better by default.

I got these slugs in my mouth when I die don't take them out
 

I LOVE the way she sings this part!!

Edited April 1, 20242 yr by Space&Time

That grunt/run at the very end of YaYa is so NASTY

She needs to perform Ya Ya on somebody's TV program live just so it can live in the historical record.

This is just as much a Rock album as it is a Country album. Not like modern rock, but more classic rock, 60's and 70's rock.

 

I wonder would she do more Rock on Act III.  I'm confused now. I guess she could go "more" ROCK. Idk.

I think I want to marry RIIVERDANCE! I'm dangerously in love.

 

 

The way it then effortlessly glides into 2 Hands, then that outro got me wanting to get pregnant. Argh this album is an experience. Thank god for Beyoncé 

The lyrics on this album is masterclass in songwriting.
