Perhaps it’s an album more suited to people who like Jay as well as Bey, unlike some of the people here I think

QUOTE(NellyEverySundae @ Jun 17 2018, 10:25 PM)  You can buy a digital file of the album from the tidal website for £9.99 ...so the same price as a Tidal subscription  QUOTE(Dexton @ Jun 18 2018, 02:39 AM) To make people pay for Tidal But they're giving away free 6 month subscriptions. I really just don't understand the point in them continuing to make that happen. I'm glad that they've added it to other platforms so swiftly though. I'll give it a listen later. |

QUOTE(mdh @ Jun 18 2018, 11:51 AM) Her rapping about how she 'didn't give two f***s about streaming numbers' and then giving in and putting the album on Spotify is one of the most pretentious and embarassing things I've seen all year. The album is completely substanceless too, nothing of interest going on here other than Beyoncé constantly disillusioning herself that she's superior to everyone. Jay is the highlight here and that's saying something. Don't think I'll be going back to anything on here again. There's only so many times you can see her get in formation with her dancers in a synchronized routine, have them "underneath her" hinting at her being a dynasty, in pretentious settings like the Louvre. It's all a bit much for me. Her saying "Beysus" was so cringy. Cant remember the last time I hummed a melody to a Beyonce song. It's not bad per se, just bored with it.

Apeshit really goes the hell off ! I’m enjoying the majority of the album so far as well

It's not terrible but it's just not for me, it all sounds the same with Apeshit and LOVEHAPPY being the only real highlights and I don't think I'll go back to it as a whole body of work tbh. For an artist like Beyonce who has been so sonically diverse and experimenting with (successfully) so many different sounds on self-titled and Lemonade, this is such disappointing urban fodder. Pretty much any rapper with a bit of a budget and some production could do this, it's a step up from that awful "soundcloud rap" I guess but eh

To be fair this album has been in the works (or rumoured) for quite some time though, which I guess why it sounds a bit dated to me. Apeshit could really have been on Future's album back in 2014/2015...

I get that she has 'nothing to prove' etc. but she could at least use her freedom to put out whatever for a decent purpose, like releasing something meaningful and topical. It's like she's got some weird obsession with affirming how brilliant she is to everyone, when in comparison to so many artists out there, what she's releasing is pretty mediocre. |

To be fair Beyoncé has always had that element about her, it's nothing new!

I like it, but then, nothing she did pre Lemonade excited me, so I'm probably not a good sample.

I disagree with a lot of the comments here - the album is a celebration of black success and extravagance, as well as a bookend to what started with Lemonade. It's not as shallow as people think.
Shooting the video in the Louvre is a statement in itself - European art has historically been exclusionary to people of colour. The image of a black woman combing hair in front of the Mona Lisa is powerful. The entire video is. They're proud of everything they've achieved as two black artists, and they should be.

QUOTE(Theo. @ Jun 18 2018, 02:07 PM) ...so the same price as a Tidal subscription I guess so! Standard album price though really, especially if fans wanted to buy the album from SOMEWHERE if it had never ended up getting a release on iTunes like the day after. The album is... okay. Not a massive fan but I kinda expected nothing else other than this kind of direction if Jay-Z is supposed to provide 50% of the contribution.

There's a few gems on this album - APESHIT is amazing. Friends and Heard About Us are both lovely too. Beyonce's vocals at the end of Friends is *.*

Yeah I've had "Apeshit" in my head all day. I've only listened through once though so will give the rest chance to grow on me.

This has charted at #5 in the UK this week. There's no big releases this week and 5SOS will likely fall behind them, so I would expect this to stabilise or even climb next week!
