Cowboy Carter is Beyonce's best album.

 

instead of dragging some of her best albums ever (and the first 3) y'all should be whacking Les Fads or something idk

that was mother ST actually - a score of 85 for a big star in the era before poptimism took off was virtually unheard of, plus it's when she really started to dominate year end lists

 

Self Titled was legendary yes, but 85 is not universal acclaim like 92

Self Titled cracked the door open, but Lemonade kicked it down

Fillers in Love stans when it's time to speak about non singles

 

Will never understand this lame argument when the only thing that can be considered filler on DIL is Daddy. Everything else is excellent. And even That's How You Like It is a perfect encapsulation of the y2k ringtone soundscape.  

YA YA live at the Grammys with Gary Clarke Jr. on guitar.....

 

Even Stevie knew how fierce this entrance was.

Desert Eagle, Oh Louisiana, Flamenco and Alligator Tears are particularly excellent

Somebody made a very eloquent post a couple months back about Beyoncé's impact and popularity and how Spotify streams aren't always reflective of the relationship her fans have with her music type thing 

 

Does this ring a bell to anybody? Not sure which thread it was in 

 

I think it involved a discussion around DIL the song's streams 

This has @swissman written all over it

Oh and if Act III turns out to be a Tina-like rock n roll stompfest well then Cowperson Cardboard it was nice knowing you

 

Prince and Tina being her biggest inspirations and act iii being the last in the trilogy makes me feel like she knows it's about to be her best album. That said, she did just call Cowboy Carter the best music she's ever made so I'm really confused on what act iii is. 

 

When it's an operatic rock and funk album

 mid B grade vs solid A grade

It should be noted that a pop girl getting an 85 in 2013 was unheard of. A 92 in 2024 ain't crazy, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get below 80 nowadays. 

the real gag is I actually like Lemonade more than BEYONCÉ but I love arguing more than either

 

Did you all know Christina Aguilera music was once used to torture detainees at Guantanamo Bay? I wonder why they never considered using World Wide Woman. 

I just can't take any music opinions seriously if you honestly think DIL is better than Lemonade

your taste will immediately be judged and all future music opinions will be ignored
