I'm curious how, aside from the inappropriate nature of most of the songs, you feel about the album/videos as a whole. For me, it's kinda showing she REALLY doesn't care about charting anymore (though rumour has it this is part 1, the part 2 could be chart friendly, Beyonce-esque songs). I know you're a bit more picky when it comes to Bey so I'm curious how you felt!
I haven't really watched most of the videos. I've seen "Heaven", I've seen "Grown Woman".....I think I skimmed thru "Mine"....I tried to watch "Partition" but I turned it off and I watched most of "Blue". I downloaded it at 4:30am and watched on my phone so time wasn't really on my side before work.
"Heaven" gave me a "Halo" feel and the video was sad. I liked it. I watched "Yonce" because all of the models I follow on instagram posted stills from it. I liked it.
I want to go back and watch the video for "Pretty Hurts", after looking at the stills on her website... I liked the song, but didn't watch the video
So I guess I can't really speak about the nature of most of the videos.
I didn't like Mine at first listen. It'll grow on me. I don't like Partition because right off the bat she mentioned ____ Jay Z. I know it happens. I know its there because Blue exists...but No.. I can't no thanks Bey.
Haunted, Blow, XO, Superpower, Rocket, etc If I listened to them this morning I don't remember anything about them.
I have a 2 hour drive after work to my real home so I'll listen then and maybe be able to answer better.
I know this isn't going to be my favorite album in all of life. Its not going to be the best thing I've ever heard clearly, but what I do like and respect about the project is how it was released. Most people could never. I can't think of a single artist alive today that I would have come out the gate and purchased their record, no song heard, at 4am. Nobody out right now can do what Beyonce did.
I'm also ready to go see her in concert....but I also want her to go home, have a seat and rest because shes a human and not a machine and truth be told I know she likes touring but I'm still curious as to why she feels she needs to work like a hebrew slave?
