Let's stop defending the vinyls situation, she f*ed up. where was i defending it? i literally said yall can be mad about it. but she absolutely advertised it as a limited edition. i simply stated facts. 9 minutes ago, Redporus said: Limited edition has nothing to do with a shortened tracklist bffr i didn't say it did? i literally mentioned she skimped on the tracklist lol, yall need to breathe Edited July 22 by yonsé

It may not be the best album to look back on today, but "Dangerously in Love", as an album, is a complete tragedy. No wonder she was already preparing a sophomore album while promoting DIL. If we're being completely honest, Bey didn't have a real, comprehensive, complete album until "4" and on. Any solo album before is the equivalent of a mixtape, with how many songs ppl have to remove or rearrange for her first three projects to be listenable. Edited July 23 by TizTiz 2

'B'Day' (the original tracklist) is PERFECT. DIL is great as a debut R&B artist breaking out from a girl group. I actually like IASF, a lot but it's two albums of singles mashed together. There is no story on either side of the album. The vision is clear, the identities are clear, the stories and consistency aren't. 2

BGKC Posted July 23 Posted July 23 CC tells a story too. From Jolene to Daughter to the Hang Man in Tyrant to the fact that it closes out just as it started out with American Requiem. There's just no film attached to better illustrate the story. 1

Renaissance (Limited Edition) vinyl was, on top of being the complete album, a true EXCLUSIVE -- only available on her website until it sold out. Conman Carter (Exclusive) vinyl was neither. it has the wrong album title on the spine, no tracklist, no booklet, no bonus track (which she also promised). the fact that you can still buy it on Amazon for $30 is... a disgrace, really.

I agree, 4 is the first cohesive, body of work that Beyonce has ever released, but Sasha Fierce and B'Day are pretty great albums for the singles if anything. I am disappointed that Cowboy Carter doesn't have many strong moments. I was expecting songs in the vein of Timber (Kesha), 9-to-5 (Dolly), Boots Were Made For Walkin' (Jessica Simpson), That Don't Impress Me Much (Shania), Ole' Town Road (LNX) or Country Roads. Some cool up-tempos and Ya Ya isn't as explosive as it could be and doesn't really go anywhere. I was looking for some amazing melodies and catchy hooks. Joanne has more catchier songs like Perfect Illusion, A-Yo, Dancin' In Circles, John Wayne, A Million Reasons and Diamond Heart, and I wouldn't even call that a country album. 2

BadHabits Posted July 23 Posted July 23 Beyonce could've sung songs about: 1. Up-tempo song comparing sex to riding a bucking bronco (Think Ole' Town Road by Lil Nas X) 2. Slavery and racial segregation and the freedom of being a black woman nowadays (Man, I Feel Like A Woman) 3. A song about Southern states and abortion laws (with Lana Del Rey) 4. Police brutality and incarceration 5. A song about this ain't her first rodeo and the various women and men who've tried to take Beyonce down (Hateful Eight / Kill Bill inspiration) 6. A song about how Beyonce is a cowgirl riding her horse through life and it's get lonely always being on the road (Inspiraton: Take Me Home, Country Roads) 7. A song for the gays and homophobia in country + anti-drag laws (Collaboration with Orville Peck) 8. Ghost Town - a song about how the coal mines have been shut down and so many people from small towns are poor, voted Trump 9. A song about going to a bar and knocking back drinks (Like Timber by Kesha) 10. A song featuring Megan Thee Stallion and is about Houston, Texas (Think Cali Gurls or Empire State of Mind, such a missed opportunity) 11. A song about the Tulsa Race Massacre in Oklahoma (Black Wall Street) 12. Mid-tempo song inspired by her humble beginnings and how the hard work and sacrifices made paid off (Like Fancy by Bobbie Gentry) 13. A song about colonialism and genocide of Native Americans (Cowboy theme - Killers of the Flower Moon) 14. A song about how women are seen in music, then and now 15. Love song for Jay and her kids (Similar to Islands In The Stream) Other songs for inspiration: Americano, You & I, John Wayne and A-Yo by Gaga, Dead of Night by Orville Peck, Before He Cheats by Miranda Lambert, Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash, Stand By Your Man by Tammy Wynette, Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus or Save a Horse by Big & Rich. Point is, Beyonce could've given us an amazing country album inspired by pop, dance, hip-hop, flamenco, americana, latin pop, but instead gave us unseasoned chicken that is mediocre by her standards. I just hope Act 3, most likely Rock and inspired by Tina Turner and Aerosmith, comes out much better. 2 1

I don't remember anything past just wanting both covers (I only have the regular vinyl, from Target). But I mean, it was still the same printed album, where as this would be an alternative copy of the track list that isn't stated. If I remember correctly, even the four alternative CD covers editions were still the same track list and nearly the same booklet as the vinyl albums. Just seems like a small mishap that wasn't corrected. It should've been corrected, but so should the 5 mistakes in the standard vinyl pressing. It's not a big deal, just some of the many sloppy jobs done this era after RENI, which had perfect CD and vinyls pressings, box collections, merch collections to me. I understand some fans saying it's one of the many ways the era has been mismanaged or just thrown together, but she doesn't care. A few thousand ppl brought the standard record and her only plan to move more was to sign a few and meet ppl who were already buying the record anyway.
