When she goes out of the safety net of those limitations she strikes gold but that's only on 6/7 songs out of like a thousand. Sadly, her worst album since IASF. Huge swing and a huge miss. Well this is a very unpopular opinion! loll JK -Sorry it didnt resonate with you. I think she's doing Americana her way - and its soulful yet still accessible. But the influences and music history are clearly there. No way is this her worst since IASF

I feel the same, so far. Hope it grows on me. The album feels very bloated to me and I guess there's a nice 10-11 track album in there.
Armani? Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Why does Apple Music have 2 versions of Texas Hold Em charting lol

If you're just a troll move on, but if not, lets talk, seriously. this person hasnt listened to the album because none of it uber-nationalist gun toting imagery lol

No way is this her worst since IASF I understand what she was going for but I felt kinda scammed because she was saying it was more than a country album and I feel like the moments she blended genres were great!! But they were too few and in between. her vocals were indeed great and soulful though. As always 1
suburbannature Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I need II Hands II Heaven to win every Grammy possible 2

I feel like the second was meant to blend into renaissance. My two cents. I think Renaissance is her best album but this is easily, for me, has the most replay valuable. I can just set it and forget it lol 1

mrpartyrocker Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Oh ffs all these people complaining of how long the album is… skip what you don't like and then save whatever you like… and move on with your life. You don't have to understand or digest Beyonce's albums and that's okay! 3 1

You don't have to understand or digest Beyonce's albums and that's okay! This album don't even feel like a 27 track album. People really need to expand because having a short attention span is not cute. The quality is there so it shouldn't matter for this album. 1 1

But it’s weighed down by all the protector hold em bodyguard Jolene type songs that imo aren’t very good.
satellites.™ Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I am so curious to know how this would've done if released in 2019/2020 when she planned? The whole convo was happening already or about to happen with Lil Nas X and Ole Time Road, Post Malone was MASSIVE in 2019 and had global hits and new fame.

Hephaestus Posted March 29 Posted March 29 I low key agree with some people's opinion that the album is a bit bloated. Like, get 4/5 songs out and it'd be a way more solid body of work, at least for my liking. 1 2

AdrianNicki Posted March 29 Posted March 29 (edited) I've just finished my first listen and I must say, I don't hate it like I thought I would. Country isn't really my genre but I enjoyed this. It's not my favourite Beyonce album, it's still towards the bottom but I can see it growing on me. I think what bothers me the most is the length of some of the songs. I wish some shorter song were longer, some longer songs however felt like they don't want to end. These are my faves so far: - American Requiem - Bodyguard !!! - Jolene - Daughter - Spaghetti - II Most Wanted - Ya Ya - Desert Eagle - II Hands II Heaven - Tyrant !!! - Sweet Honey Buckin Edited March 29 by AdrianNicki 1
