If it really turns out to be remastered, meaning that the mixing has finally been fixed, then the standard edition will result in a 10/10 album. Her first 100 score.

Poor Lemonade and Renaissance. B'Day is here to overthrow both of you as Bey's best album to date.

The way how I think it will not be remastered, since she has never explicitly stated that it is an official remastering of the album.

and yes BDAY is the quintessential Beyonce album, it is yet to be topped I fear

I'd be here for her being playful with it. Introduce samples and stuff, like the Fela Kuti one for Deja Vu on Homecoming, or an extended outro to Resentment like she did live.

But then again, I don't want to read all the discourse of negative hive when they keep claiming that there's no quality control or that the new versions are worse as if the originals stopped existing. Exhausting.

All of us would be here for versions of Resentment and Flaws And All similar to the live counterparts tbh.

Provided that the outcome is good, of course.

"2026 has been a year of rediscovering myself. Ive hand-selected the color of the vinyls, which represent Parkwood. The anniversary edition of Bday is not only a celebration of my Bday, but of Parkwood. Together with Blue, we've additionally decided to include MORNING DEW, Creole, Lost Yo Mind (her favorite song) and Can I Watch You. In an attempt to merge the past and future and honor both, we've included the original mixes of the recording.

Love you deep

Beyoncé"

Nope, just my creativity and stanning her foe more than 2 decades. I bet neither Kingdom nor Teezy would be able to deliver that

I have decided to take my own advice ("do you want to be annoyed or do you want to not care?") and instead of letting the petty, illogical, ignorant and entitled critiques about the price of a literal deluxe limited edition 4-vinyl 60-page booklet-having re-release bother me, I will simply be laughing at their ridiculousness.

Girl, less yapping more opening up your purse. Have you purchased the deluxe edition already?

are those film cameras? can we get a re scan in 4k please??

Beyoncé when she sees your comments about wanting rerecorded songs but knowing she's about to play with your bag once again with a cash grab

Why are people expecting re-recordings or features? There's not been a single mention of that happening so you're all setting up yourselves for disappointment.

The best case scenario is that she updated the mixing to improve the audio, which I hope happened considering the vinyl are pressed in 180g for enhanced quality.

so where are the bday avis?? arent we celebrating?

It's what we meant, not re-recordings with her actual voice, but rather technical improvements to the sound.

this is crazy sharon

They are absolutely reshoots. Her facial structure is more matured. the brows are thicker and browner, the hairstyles are the same but recreated, the coloring of the hair is different. The beats are different as well. The jewelry are different.

also B digging into the history book is not foreign. Her and Ashley literally recreated and "reshot" the first ten years of her career for Pepsi 2013 Mirrors. She has always self-referenced and connected to her past.

i believe these are not reshoots

same earrings and the makeup (mv) probably was retouched in post production (just like the bday photoshoot), the thing is these never before seen pictures are being retouched just like her modern photoshoots, thats why they all look so off

I agree that they're likely not reshoots

In the sense that she hinted the B'Day anniversary release... or that her character in the visuals would end up in the B'Day universe through time travel?

We'll just have to disagree. We'll find out next week.
