putting some beyonce on a mainly jay z album is like wrapping a pill in some meat to give it to a dog

haven't paid since October, so, not quite a year I guess, but close.

perhaps i'm just super annoyed at work and not able to devote the right amount of attention to this record but "nice"... is not nice

If that's your standard, you're in for a treat.

video's good
i like everything from 713 on and dislike everything before that, so i think i'll just be listening to this one as if it were an EP
― petey v, Monday, 18 June 2018 19:53 (five years ago) link
lol my take is the exact opposite of that

the mix on 713 is really annoying, it gets super-quiet when Bey's part starts (maybe it's mixed better on Tidal, haha).

So they got beaten to #1 by 5 Seconds of Summer lol

this album is a bore
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 23 June 2018 13:39 (five years ago) link
i need to give it a few more chances but so far it's not a particularly good front-to-back listen. finding it hard to believe some actually find it comparable in quality to bey's most recent solo albums

it's also been announced that Lemonade will be coming to Spotify at last
― monotony, Wednesday, 17 April 2019 22:14 (five years ago) link
The detail of “Before I Let Go” being a studio track appended to a live record is a clever little bonus

Is the Netflix video different from the concert video that was put out immediately after the performance?

i never got around to watching it so this was also my like third thought

the film is so good
― dyl, Sunday, 21 April 2019 04:39 (five years ago) link
Lemonade's now on Spotify, with a demo of what eventually became "Sorry" appended at its end (and which is possessed of a lot less braggadocio and a lot more vulnerability than the final track - it's closer in sound to "Love Drought" or something her sister might make)

I would love to know why Rebirth Brass Band doesn't get any publishing for the two songs that she uses parts from 'Do Whatcha Wanna' on (the opening and Single Ladies)https://www.beyonce.com/album/homecoming/credits/
― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 23 April 2019 17:21 (five years ago) link
Oh. After digging, it turns out Rebirth lifted that trombone line from a Con Funk Shun track. Goddamnit, brass bands. Too bad she didn't throw in the melody.

the film is wonderful
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 24 April 2019 02:06 (five years ago) link
the film is cool. i went in pretty neutral/not in the mood to watch it but it was obviously a fantastic show and they captured it perfectly.
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 24 April 2019 02:15 (five years ago) link
loved it, i want to watch it again
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 24 April 2019 04:42 (five years ago) link
Now that a quick google search returns at least five articles on the cultural references in Homecoming, and they all start with New Orleans and Rebirth, I'm mad again. The bassline in 'Single Ladies' should have gotten some writing credit for sure.
Obviously the show is amazing, and it's great to see Les Twins on stage (even though they never really get to do their thing, but it's a Beyonce show I get it).
― change display name (Jordan), Wednesday, 24 April 2019 15:59 (five years ago) link
the straight up documentary parts of the film are wonderful, i even managed to convert something beyoncé said into good writing advice for myself, but i kinda hope 1) there's a physical release 2) it includes a version of the show without breaks
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 24 April 2019 16:28 (five years ago) link

Re:the movie, I was hoping for a little more documentary style than behind the scenes if that makes sense but the Sons of Kemet background music made my night.
