I'll never understand rabid fans. I get that Roy made it about her when she posted that, but why go after her kid. Like seriously show some compassion, she has absolutely nothing to do with the decionsions her mom made. But that's what fans do, they feel like they have to retaliate for any attack on their idol.

I assumed I'd be able to watch this on HBO Now, damn.
Same, and boy do I have regrets! :(

Yeah me too lol. Guess they took it down with the quickness. Odd.


It was a one day deal. I warned y'all earlier in the thread. Slowpokes.
 
Just heard Don't Hurt Yourself with Jack White. Does anyone know the story behind this? Did Jack write and play the music as well as do vocals or?

The hell? Am I crazy for thinking daddy lessons is best track on the album?
 
The visuals are next level from a photography standpoint. That movie is vital viewing and it is what pushes this project way above ANTI. Some of the images are unforgettable.

Yeah, I can't see any other artist topping Serena Williams getting her fucking life or the sisterhood of black women sitting on the porch or the mothers of slain sons holding their sons' portraits.

And that's not even counting the haunting, abstract imagery like that red, flame-covered hallway or the room-sized aquarium or the torrent of water rushing out of said room while Beyoncé slowly emerges down the stairs.

On an unrelated note, her choice to go with spoken word poetry rather than traditional monologue a la a Janet interlude was a stroke of genius. It gave everything she said an ambiguity that resonated even more strongly in contrast to the blunt, in your face aggressiveness and then emotional vulnerability of the song lyrics themselves.

You missed out on Black Woman Excellence if you haven't seen the visual.
For real. She got amazing spoken word visual combo. Serena Williams looked powerful as hell. As she said with self titled, the visuals are the complete experience so you should really watch first.

Who the fuck do you think I am?
You ain’t married to no average bitch, boy,
You can watch my fat ass twist, boy, as I bounce to the next dick boy,
And keep your money, I got my own,
Get a bigger smile on my face, being alone

Not asking you, but how is ANY of this about her dad? Come on plebs.

Yeah I can't help but see this as "it's ok to cheat, my love for you is so strong we'll be fine."

See literally says the exact opposite thing on the album. She says that if you do it again, we are done!

Not sure how you got "its okay to cheat". She says that she left him. He got sad and basically begged her back and she wanted to break said cycle and due to her love for him, she's giving him one more chance.
 
I stupidly decided to buy the tracks separately (minus Formation and Forward) coz $17.99 felt too steep yesterday, but apparently to download the movie later I have to pay that full amount? Lol I'm a dummy

Did you honestly think Beyonce would let you cheap out on her?

Hi! It's your resident Beyonce hater here to deconstruct the latest piece of vapid, forgetable work from Beyonce. I watched the visual album last night. I listened to the album today.


It's all incredible. Visually it's wonderful to see the portrayal of black women positively and powerfully in their various shades, shapes and sizes. Sharon's spends a song twerking, but the way it's shot and the distance from which the camera is, you know that it's for HER not for you or some slobs alone time in the computer. The imagery and the scenes fit wonderfully with the music for the most part. And Beyonce, whether giddily prancing with a bat through her pain while trashing property or depackaging the emotions behind breaking a promise to yourself due to love for another, acted this out in a laudable way.

And the music alone may stand up even more. This isn't just the usual Beyonce stan event, this a masterfully put together album that touched the depths of pain, loss and renewal.

Salute.

Not at all. What's amazing is that Beyoncé produced that track by herself. But I can see why the track doesn't have the most universal appeal compared to some of the others. At least it isn't the lowest charting haha.

DADDY LESSONS is fantastic. Hell, I love the whole album. It's definitely best to have seen the film first and have the visuals
 
James Corden's Lemonade parody

That was...unsettling.

On an unrelated note, I wonder how she'll translate these songs for her tour. She's not one to manipulate her voice much live, but some of the power of tracks like "Sorry" and "Don't Hurt Yourself" won't punch as hard without an extra kick of reverb.
 
So I missed it. Is there any legit way to see it at this point?
Stream for free on TIDAL with a 30-day trial or receive on iTunes when you purchase the full album.

I found the roll-out of her 2013 album a bit more clever, keeping all the songs and videos locked to iTunes for a full week without the option of buying individual tracks. So if you didn't want to spend $16 those first few hours before it hit the usual sites, you were reduced to grainy Dailymotion rips.

It dropped around 9pm, and I read she sold over 100,000 copies before midnight hit
lol.gif


Ah, memories...

I feel bad that the US have to put up with James Corden.
However I'm happy that he's not clogging up my TV, it got to the stage he was everywhere, like dog shit.
