CallumDavies Posted April 11 Posted April 11 The physicals situation is absurd. I understand that she wanted to make last minute changes, but not waste the stock. However, it should have been clear at point of sale that the physicals weren't the complete album. In addition, they should not have been advertised as a limited edition. Fans rushed to buy them and now they are available at other retailers. 2

Fans rushed to buy them and now they are available at other retailers. It's not ideal, is it?. Our girl is lucky it's more of a quiet frustration (as streaming is the main consumption method), so it's doubtful the lion's share of the vinyl or CD buyers (who tend to skew more collectors) even opened it to play it. By no means am I a** kiss Hive, but I feel her team were between a rock and a hard place with this. Had they said anything before (as many fans have suggested they should), they'd be hemorrhaging the album's own sales potential, as most of us would not have bought something we knew wasn't the *full* album. At the same time, there are for sure better ways to have mitigated what was clearly caused by her artistic conviction to a) record more material and b) rename an album they had already printed. She employs people to "Olivia Pope" her ish, so I won't even stress coming up with what she shoulda been done, but for sure they collectively could have come up with...something. Even if subtly in the small-print messaging to keep their hands clean on some "well, we did say it was a special version". I gage that they still are between a rock and a hard place too because it seems they still need to get rid of the lingering stock before entertaining the idea of going wide at retail with the original cover + with the full album. I also stand by the belief that it doesn't benefit Bey to blow this up more than needed. All this "she needs to give an explanation" will only invite more drama and more dismally affect the sales potential of future releases. So, bad as this is gonna sound, it actually benefits her everything to stay mute on the matter. The one upside is that I believe she will have her ish together come act iii. Like they literally have to approach the physicals with more care, more promo (because of the lingering distrust), and way more transparency about everything from tracklist to runtime etc.

period sis Posted April 11 Posted April 11 she once again is ignoring the fact that she has at least 3 hits on this that deserved to be milked, in an album that is not very GP-catered and replayable. That's what really explains the streams. They'd look fine if they did ANYTHING rather than let THE do all the heavy lifting, which looks like won't last much longer.

Amen does, but this song has a totally different vibe. There is no reason for Tyrant to be about Lynching or sundown towns. I'm not saying there's 0% chance, but it's very improbable.
