BlackoutZone Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 So many songs and so much narrative around an album with essentially so little substance (for her standards)? I felt like, for most, the only Beyoncé thing about it was the fact she sung it. The Spaghetti intro being a statement fitting for Bey and her usually exceptional genre bending, but the horrendous song coming after sums up how this album works, or actually, how it doesn't. All of the non-country moments feel forced, neither they fit the record sonically nor they sound progressive enough to justify the break of overall cohesion. While the straight up country songs are just.. ok at best. Many of the tracks also drag, they lack structural choices that would keep them exciting throughout (like 16 Carriages, American Requiem or Ya Ya which are great and up her usual standards). Very mixed on this. I remember hating BMS hard and setting expectations for the record low, but God damn the first listen of Ren was an experience I'll cherish forever. Here on the other hand, there is none of that thrill. I've skimmed through the thread and seen lots of acclaim so I hope it grows on me over time, but this is not the trip I hoped it would be. 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
