Has anyone received their box set from the website? I know mine shipped but no details on when it is actually arriving. 
 

I also ordered my vinyl off the website too today! 

Both my box set and vinyl arrived today. I love them! My vinyl display shelf is arriving tomorrow, so I can display it properly.

Cuft really should have been the first single. 

 

Virgo's Groove on a proper sound system is ?. It's also top contender for best vocal track. 

 

ITG and Church Girl I can't get into. BMS is on the verge of being on my skip list. Every other track is just superior to those right now.

This album made me love and appreciate BMS even more.

I disagree. BMS was the perfect introduction. It keeps her ''hip'', meanwhile Cuff It is more ''adult''. We've heard the Cuff It-sound from her before, whle BMS was more left-field for her after not playing the mainstream for so long.

 

Anyway, Cuff It or Alien (remixed) will slay as the 2nd single regardless

Why is there no vinyls in the stores? Seems like such a stupid move from her label.

I'm not even kidding when I say I haven't listened to any music other than this album since it released. Literally not one bad or weak song; we don't deserve Beyonce

It’s like she pulled back the curtain on us and unveiled the universe surrounding it. Masterful release strategy, as usual.

Old, straight white  male and a music professor literally stanning the album, and his fave song is ALL UP IN YOUR MIND. I’m telling y’all it requires major taste to appreciate such greatness.

the way I fast forwarded to him saying "You can go to church.....AND you can drop it like a thotty...you can do both"

I love all the songs, but Cuff It, Virgo's Groove, and Heated are my current favs. I'm That Girl and Church Girl are at the bottom for me, but I still think they're great songs. The last half of Thique is another highlight of the album

After posting that, I was thinking that Cuft may actually be more radio-friendly than BMS and due to that, inherently more safe than BMS -- but something about BMS just leaves me wanting something more. Cuft I find exponentially more bop-worthy. 

 

BMS I'll admit is left field in terms of what's popular now (and Beyonce's sonic trajectory) but I'm mad it's not something else on the album that's leagues more representative and simultaneously boppable.

I've seen the light on Alien Superstar, I get it now.

 

'Category - Bad ***** - I'm the bar' is one of the most gg worthy moments of the album indeed. 
 

Still wouldn't put it in a top3 however. 
 

Nothing is touching Virgo's Groove. I can't believe she recorder this, easily top5 of her whole career. 
 

The first half feels like a jerking off session building momentum and as soon as the 'use me, persue me' part comes on it's like a 2 minute long orgasm from there on. 
 

6 freaking minutes long and I still feel the need to play it once more after it's finished. 
 

Legendary!

Alien Superstar would tear a cathedral to shreds

I think Virgo's Groove is my favorite song

Now that you mention it… me too.
 

Mostly because everyday I have a new favorite. First it was Church Girl, then Cozy now Pure.

 

Crack.

Lol the fact that I was worried after seeing some of the leak listener reactions in here. So happy I waited for midnight release date and experienced this beauty in its near full glory. Fully glory shall come with the Renaissance album film to be released on Netflix in 6-8 weeks in time for announcement of Act 2.
