look at that color scheme lol
black people disgust me
Can't listen
>>64300396
Alright, the music is trite pop R&B. Even sadder is that Beyonce had almost no creative input in what will soon be called her masterpiece.

TPAB is far better than this. Its a dope album. But TPAB started ALL THIS shit from rappers using soul, funk, and newschool sounds were hearing today. It not only was one of the most unique ways to tell a story, to tell an album. but it was a huge success and regarded as one of the best rap albums all time ALREADY by many hip hop fans.
You saying that LEMONADE is better is very disrespectful and just not true lol. beyonce may have a few of her song from this play on the radio but it wont do as much as TPAB. TPAB f—king united cultures more.

I personally find Beyonce to be one of the most loathsome figures in modern pop culture. She has so little discernible talent and most of the songs she sings over aren't even good by pop standards, and yet she is heralded as some kind of icon based on her cynically opportunistic support of trends and fads.
I remember looking at Pitchfork's recent list of best pop songs of the 80s, and Prince was at number 1 (I think). In the piece they had written about the song, they insinuated that Beyonce was like the modern equivalent of Prince. It was at that point that I decided to never visit Pitchfork again. It sort of perfectly summed up the modern pop culture cancer of celebrity and vapid identity politics being more important than actual talent or, you know, THE FUCKING MUSIC.

Jon Brion is responsible for the strings on the album. Meanwhile, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Soulja Boy have both been credited on "Hold Up" for samples of "Maps" and "Turn My Swag On" respectively. Diplo, Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig, Emile Haynie, MNEK, and Father John Misty have writing credits on "Hold Up" as well. Jack White and Led Zeppelin have writing credits on "Don't Hurt Yourself," which samples Led Zeppelin's "When the Levee Breaks." "6 Inch," featuring the Weeknd, was co-written by him alongside The-Dream, and samples Animal Collective's "My Girls." Outkast's "SpottieOttieDopaliscious" is sampled on the song "All Night," which was also produced by Diplo.

Definitely not aoty but Hold Up is fucking gorgeous, diplo and beyonce both came through so brilliantly
>>64301155
It was just the old "if you don't like it, why don't you leave!" argument anyways
it's a lot weaker than s/t but I'm not disappointed.

>sampled Animal Collective, Led Zeppelin, Yeah Yeah Yeahs
>Father John Misty co-wrote Hold Up
>Diplo on production
>The Weeknd and Kendrick as features
I'm fucking cumming buckets right now. Not aoty but god damn I'm impressed nonetheless
>>64301293
Yeah I just got there myself and I was surprised it was left out as well as ''My Girls'' supposedly being sampled, as I couldn't hear it at all
>>64301205
my initial reaction
There was a pretty significant risk that she would completely bomb, but several tracks are as good as her last record
>>64301342
yeah I don't hear My Girls in there either.
and that really seems like some blatant credibility slurping putting their sample in there. pretty vampiric move, someone at the top like her trying to suck up the lifeblood of better artists like that
This sounds pretty mediocre
am I being trolled

Someone who can't play any instruments and needed dozens of producers on every previous album is surely not producing her own work on any sort of technical level.

His question was just as stupid. Who questions someone's right to be critical of art? I wasn't going to give a legitimate response to an idiot who's mad because I don't like the newest hyped garbage that has millions of dollars poured into it so that it can be marketed as widely as possible.
>>64301299
Sampling those artists is as simple as:
>She [sic] too smart to crave material things
That's right, no melodies or even vocals sampled from the original piece. There's no reason to believe that Beyonce (or, more importantly, her producers) are even aware of Animal Collective. Just stupid shit that retards are gonna say to justify their garbage taste and to make Beyonce seem more intelligent than she actually is as an artist.
>>64301382
You don't have to like everything other people like anon, live your life you beautiful butterfly you
Kinda disappointed desu. Never listened to a solo Beyoncé album before her self titled or whatever that she dropped out of nowhere a couple years back and I was surprisingly impressed with it. The only draw to this one seems to be the fact that it's Beyoncé and the fact that she's ripping up Jay-Z.
The first half of sorry and formation are pretty good songs though.
Also worth noting is how dark her last album sounded sonically but this one seems to have a darker subject matter (divorce, infidelity) but it sounds fairly generic like the lyrics could be about anything and the beats would still fit.
>>64301399
hey what do you think of Metallica?
>>64301399
Hey man they're fucking with you, FYI
>>64301399
>Someone who can't play any instruments and needed dozens of producers on every previous album is surely not producing her own work on any sort of technical level.
this logic is entirely based on your bias and preconceived idea of what Beyonce is. You don't know what you just said to be true, you're just saying it be edgy. It could also apply to all your favorite artists who had engineers, or other musicians work with them.
>His question was just as stupid. Who questions someone's right to be critical of art? I wasn't going to give a legitimate response to an idiot who's mad because I don't like the newest hyped garbage that has millions of dollars poured into it so that it can be marketed as widely as possible.
Yah but you're a tripping, instead of being legitamely concerned with the value of your contribution/criticism you want to have a name, fuck off trip

Same thing as your first argument, just bias, and an unneccesary argument anyways, its cool on the audiences part to hear an interesting sample, what does it matter what the artists' intention is anyways?
focus-grouped illuminati trash for hype-surfers and poptimists
there's zero artistry to this record, no discernible artistic voice, but rather the aura of anonymous corporate moguls in suits
you braindead faggots should stick to p4k/facebook/tumblr and leave /mu/ to those who truly care about music
>>64301399

>bias and preconceived idea of what Beyonce is
???
It's a matter of fact that Beyonce does not play any instruments on any of her albums. She doesn't work on the music through a DAC, and she doesn't even know how to play an instrument in the first place. That's not bias.
>Yah but you're a tripping, instead of being legitamely concerned with the value of your contribution/criticism you want to have a name, fuck off trip
I'm posting my opinions as someone far more educated on the topic than you, not to mention that I actually know how to spell things and articulate myself. I don't care if you are jealous or bitter that I trip, it doesn't relate to the discussion at hand.
>Same thing as your first argument, just bias, and an unneccesary argument anyways, its cool on the audiences part to hear an interesting sample, what does it matter what the artists' intention is anyways?
Once again, not bias. It's a matter of fact that she did not sample Animal Collective as nothing even close to the musical content on that song is present in Beyonce's work. A similar lyric (without any indication of previous awareness of the band she is claimed to have "sampled") is not a sample.
>>64301543
You don't belong on this board. The picture you posted and your general indifference to evaluating art prove that. Don't post on a music discussion board if you don't care about discussing music and plan to belittle educated opinions that express genuine interest in discussion rather than memes and shitposting.
>>64301399
>There's no reason to believe that Beyonce (or, more importantly, her producers) are even aware of Animal Collective. Just stupid shit that retards are gonna say to justify their garbage taste and to make Beyonce seem more intelligent than she actually is as an artist.

>>64301583
whoa a tripfag steps down
>Pray You Catch Me
A slow start. It sets the stage I guess, but doesn't offer anything interesting
>Hold Up
carefree pop, what Beyoncé does best. The rhythm in the vocal track does really weird things, in a good way.
>Don't Hurt Yourself
goes hard as hell, and the production is orgasmic. It's almost hard to believe how convincing she is on a blues rock track. Probably the best song on the album
>Sorry
Weak hook, but the other vocals are well done. The most like late 2000s Beyoncé, which wasn't a great era
>6 Inch
grimy, catchy, and Abel's part is pretty nice. A mildly successful sequel to Partition
>Daddy Lessons
the country song. Once you accept you're listening to Beyoncé sing something that would suit Carrie Underwood or Loretta Lynn, it works
Stop pretending top 40 radioplay music is good.

lol nice try but the real hjeg already conceded and apologized here >>64301583
man, James Blake is such a boring faggot
Girls can’t into Death Grips. For the most part they listen to them because it’s a fashion statement. They think “lol so weird”. Women need constant validation from others so they seek out sub-cultures to be apart of.
What they don’t realize is that Death Grips is about masculinity and male dominance. Women are too fucking stupid to even pay attention to lyrics
“death fuck lets fuck, just don't touch me just fuck fuck me” Women are nothing but a sack of flesh with pleasure holes for sole purpose of pleasuring Ride.
“Soon all that's left of you Is your most primal desires” Primal desires meaning the true libertine lusts that reside in the male. A good majority of the song talks about fucking drugged out, unaware sluts and whores.
That’s only a few examples of their lyrics that show a common theme of male superiority. And for Christ sake all of the members of Death Grips are males, just imagine being around that testosterone. Then there’s that video of Ride pushing that dancing whore off the stage. Sure he probably pushes anybody off stage, but most frontmen wouldn’t push a female.

I meant DAW obviously. Even the best of us make mistakes anon.
>>64301410
I don't think the darkness is buried necessarily, but it is subtle. Hold Up obviously sounds bouncy and cheerful, but the vocal delivery reveals a lot of acrimony. Same with Daddy Lessons
Dammit you fuckers this is boring. BORING.

>>64301410
im feelin that
i thought that the sound of her last album would have fit better thematically with whatever the fuck lyrics she had going on this time.
but like even her more dark sound is still happy-go-lucky pop type shit.
i just wish she gave less of a shit with this
i was expecting it to be more controversial.
that said its not bad by any means
>>64301814
>even the best of us make mistakes
b-but you're the trip...you know how to articulate yourself...you're more educated than us idiot proles...how could you make a mistake..
I've been disappointed that Formation doesn't actually include those vocal samples ("what happened at the new wildins" or whatever he is saying for example) and the whole stop-restart portion
those were some things that made it interesting to me but I guess they were just for the video

7.2 / 10 IMO
Thought it was pretty good, especially the production. Far from AOTY (Blackstar, TLOP, Bottomless Pit, Radiohead's LP9)
>>64302010
i agree its not aoty but two of those arent even out yet
this album is like listening to Coldplay, except not as exciting

>>64301079
Hip-Hop itself is rooted in soul/funk, the shit isn't new. Kendrick did use their influence creatively, though.
>>64301693
>Love Drought
cool production but pretty boring lyrics
>Sandcastles
the most authentically "Louisiana" track. Beyoncé ballads aren't my thing, but her performance is magnetic
>Forward
one of the only tracks that actually goes anywhere new for her. It's not even a minute and a half though
>Freedom
a lesser singer couldn't sell this, but she does. Another track that's insanely well produced. Kendrick's verse doesn't get in the way
>All Night
the sequel to XO. It would come across better if there were fewer ballads preceding
>Formation
One thousand think pieces. Politics aside, it's excellent. She stuffs so many ideas into a compact pop song
My main complaint is that almost every song feels like a rehash, but only two or three are really filler. 7/10
>>64300634

Ok, I mean, how do you know any of these things like actually? you state them as fact, but that doesn't make them fact, do you have Beyonce's ipod? Have you seen the orignal daw files for every song? Are you doing anything other then sperging about Beyonce?

Since you don't want me to make reasonable posts encouraging quality discussion, I'll save you the trouble of addressing each of those which is a simple matter.
I will correct the last point since it's probably the most ignorant thing I've seen any of these Beyonce drones say all night.
A similar lyric is not a sample, thus it becomes irrelevant whether you want to pretend that Beyonce is aware of Animal Collective purely for the sake of making yourself feel proud of her as an artist.

where are the body of works
>>64302462
Anyway, I'm tired and that post didn't make much sense but in the end the point still stands.
I addressed the flaws in her musicianship with facts, all of which can be addressed with further evidence. Beyonce cannot play an instrument well and she didn't do production work on any of her albums prior to this one.
Thus, I suppose there is a chance that she did produce this one but it's pretty fucking unlikely considering she has never contributed any material to her own albums other than vocals in the past.
You can visit innumerable online forums and have pleasant discussion of Beyonce and her music.
Why do you people do this.
Why do you come here.
Why.
>>64302462
Im not talking about the fact it has a similiar lyric, it might still be sampled on the album you fucking poopy brain, delete your trip
Also, it doesn't matter, she might still listen to AnCo, you don't know, stop just saying shit and expecting people to believe you
If by quality discussion you mean just spewing unfactual biases, yah, thats what you're doing, sorry I don't agree with you, since we all know thats the only criteria for my stance you care about

/mu/ - Music
Did you have a bad day?
>>64300931
when did anyone mention Lemonade?
you sound like some underage kid who thinks he's got all music figured out
listen to Dangerous in Love and you'll see why Beyonce is one of the most critically acclaimed artists of this century.
>>64302608
It's not sampled on the album though. People specifically mentioned that line as being the sample, so it's not sampled if it wasn't played there. That's a matter of fact.
Again, no fucking bias. BEYONCE DID NOT SAMPLE ANIMAL COLLECTIVE. Prove that wrong, I'd be glad to see you do it.
>>64302602
For once I'm agreeing with you Unty.
Oh great, the plastic surgery Frankstein, bleached skin, hack puts out another garbage pop album written by a bunch of white guys while be praised as "YAAAAS QUEEN SAVIOR"
Awful. This bitch is no more talented than Britney Spears, but at least Britney had some pop classics

Hiding threads like this, the recent coachella threads, and others of this mass aren't going to solve shit, you fucking idiot.
Threads like this crowd the front page and divert traffic to "musicians" whose shallow efforts merit little to no discussion, yet receive it anyway. Again, traffic is diverted towards these threads, and others with potential for intriguing, novel dialogue and discourse go unappreciated and die.
Beyonce is vapid top 40 pop. Anything else is a mere masquerade. You people are actively destroying this board cluttering it with the p4k-peddled bullshit instead of obscure, novel musicians whose work warrants inspection.
I'm tired of this shit, and I'm tired of people lazily implying that it's wrong for me to care about music and the quality of music discussion on this board. It IS a big deal. It DOES fucking matter.

A bunch of 16-21 year old "poptimists" (and by poptimists, I mean black meme-rap, R&B and pop) who hivemind with the rest of the internet for overly hyped garbage artists (Kanye, Beyonce, Kendrick, Frank Ocean, etc. etc.)

I actually don't despise Kanye and Frank Ocean, although both are very overhyped. Kendrick is bland shit for people without taste and Beyonce is even worse.
>>64302880
I'll answer now at least:
Joanna Newsom - Ys
Dan Deacon - Bromst
Spring Heel Jack - Disappeared
Stars Of The Lid - The Tired Sounds
Grouper - Cover The Windows And Walls
Something like that. Plenty more that I've heard but those stick out to me at the moment. Queue the insults to my taste I guess.

This board was meant to cater to niche genres of music.
This is fucking Beyonce. Every fucking media-outlet and/or forum is discussing this right now, even the ones that aren't tailored explicitly towards music, because it's fucking Beyonce.
You people do not need to be here. You people should NOT be here.
YOU ONLY COME HERE THROUGH SOME BULLSHIT DESIRE TO VICARIOUSLY BE "COUNTER-CULTURE," ALL WHILE EATING P4K SHIT UP BY THE POUND
YOU DISINTERESTED, SHALLOW PIECE OF SHIT YOU NEED TO FUCKING LEAVE RIGHT NOW
I'M FUCKING TIRED OF THIS
>>64303072
>this board was meant to cater to niche genres of music
where exactly does it say that again
>>64302257
Why would it be 2018? If not this year it would definitely be next since they've released albums on the 7th year of a generation (OKC '97, IR '07)
>>64303072
This board was meant to cater to niche genres of music
I agree with this guy, on some real shit i came to this board to find obscure music artists/genres. Being a music board it's understandable to have Top 40 discussions but it's like, why?!? for what? Especially if it's gunna have multiple threads at once which I know is gunna happen for this whole week.
>>64303094
Top right corner of your screen.
/mu/ is a sub-board of 4chan, which itself was created to cater to the counter-culture and the niche.
You're here to seem counter-culture and save memes for your normies friends. I wouldn't particularly mind either of those if that was all you did, but instead you feel the liberty to crowd this board with shit you could discuss on an infinite number of other websites.
>>64303195
ahhh i see. so basically what you're saying boils down to REEEEE NORMIES GTFO!!!! goddamn you're fucking obnoxious
>>64303072
who wronged you
>>64303272
You aren't even discussing your music.
You simply say that it is good and get upset when other people attempt to create discussion that will interrupt your inciting of shitposting.
You don't belong here and you wouldn't fit in at all if it weren't for P4K ruining this board with MBDTF.
>>64300372
Is there a song as good as Beautiful Liar on this new album?
That's my favorite Beyonce song.
>>64303272
I literally just said I wouldn't care if you just lurked and came for the memes, you goddamn idiot.
At very least you could make a containment thread like /emoe/ and /kpop/.
>>64303298
Why do you people do this? Why can't you make an effort to deconstruct the merits of my posts and include that in a reply, instead of just giving me this shit?
Why?
Why do you all have to be so goddamn stupid, so goddamn rhetorically insipid? Why can't I come here and have a decent conversation?
>>64303072
untie i love you
sittin here, listening to s/t, thinkin back to the days when i held so much hope in b... now here we are, in the aftermath of... this...
>>64302994
I'm sorry but you really wasted a lot of time if you thought you were going to convince someone to stop listening to Beyoncé, especially with the same boring criticisms that my uncle would make in a Facebook status. "Stop liking what I don't like" is a really childish perspective
flac DL where?
>>64303389
what.cd
>>64303132
>why
because that's what /mu/ users want to discuss. You don't have to even see these threads
i want to feel bad for unty but he just keeps biting the bait...oh well
>>64303433
What CD??!?!?
>>64303359
Why? Why? Why? Why are u such a baby
>>64303558
Just stop responding to him.
>>64303574
im just trying to see if he keeps getting madder
untie is the last saving grace this board has
he is our hero
>>64303453
See practically every post I've made in this thread.
There are an infinite number of places to discuss Beyonce and other top 40. Meanwhile, there are very few places to discuss niche genres of music, the sort of discussion that /mu/ was originally designed to facilitate.
Allow me to anticipate your reply and just debunk it now:
>b-but clearly no one wants to talk about that stuff anymore!
That's incorrect. It's more likely that people, both veterans on this board and new posters looking to find new music alike, fled in disgust at how indistinguishable /mu/ is from p4k and other sites of that ilk.
They recognized that their efforts and input would be perpetually outweighed by those of pop fans because, pop by nature being more accessible, there were more. And they left. And now this board is scarcely different than p4k.
>>64303558
I don't understand. I mean it. I sincerely don't understand what you're trying to achieve with this post.
>>64303574
And similarly I don't understand why you're implying I've done something wrong here.
If you've a problem with me or my posts, how about you quit being a passive aggressive little bitch and tell me what it is?
>>64303619
Shut the hell up
if you can't get into Beyonce then it's your own damn fault. Go listen to your gay obscure music. Let us discuss and listen to something we actually like and not something we pretend to like for strangers on the internet.
>>64300372
She'd give great head.
>>64303608
I'm almost certain he's baiting you back.
There's no way he's being serious.
>>64303649
I made several points in that post and you made no attempt, no attempt whatsoever, to respond to any of them.
I have repeatedly stated that you do not belong here. What I have not once said is that I "can't into" Beyonce, that I can't enjoy her. I imagine in short doses I could enjoy her music, but I'd still never post about it her, because there's little to nothing to discuss and even then why the fuck would I try discussing top 40 pop in a place that was meant to escape the discussion of top 40 pop.
I think I'm done.
I'm so tired of this. It feels like a moot exercise of futility arguing with you people because you haven't even the decency to respond to my points, instead cowering behind ad hominem or conjuring implications and quotes that I never made. I'm so fucking tired of you people.
Well done.
>>64303649
No you shut the fuck up you fake ass astroturfing piece of shit. Fuck Beyonce. She is literally fucking useless. You are not a musician if you require 70 other musicians to complete your fucking album.
Maybe if she was even remotely genuine about what she does, which is purely the most superficial tier of pop music, that would be fine.
But she has been perpetuating this ridiculous notion that she's some kind of groundbreaking, inconceivably original ~artist-, and that is just straight up fucking insulting.
Also doesn't hurt that butthurt motherfucker Kanye still trying to crawl up her asshole had to pull a classic Yeezy move and spew that unbelievably ignorant bullshit about Beck, that didn't help either.
>>64303755

no one cares about your "points," friendo. No one cares how you feel about the quality of discussion on /mu/.

Im not trolling here, but why do people pretend she is more than just a pop singer?
Everyone is going crazy over this trite music. People expect me to have some respect over her "artistry" when this is just the same music rihanna or miley cyrus are making.
I just wished she made a trap rap album, now that the sound is popular, why doesnt she jump on that bandwagon? It would suit her more than this half assed Pop tunes that she is trying to pass por ""artsy"" R&B.
>>64303889
>Everyone is going crazy over this trite music.
you're clearly a teenager because no one goes crazy over Beyonce except pop plebs
Anyone got a download link? pirate bay is down atm zzzz
>>64303904
/mu/, and pretty much everyone in social media. Just wait until pitchfork gives it BNM and the rest music publications will follow suit.
>>64303904
All the girls at my university go crazy for Beyonce, so it's not just teens. And the thing that surprised me most when Beyonce's last album came out is that they actually talk in that way that people stereotype them as talking. "Yaaassss, queen, slay" they actually say all that stuff
>>64303969
thats what im talking about
all the gays too.
and then they go batshit insane when you critize her as a musician, or "artist" as they call her.
>>64303846
Fallacious amplification of your singular opinion aside, I'm tired and you've more than demonstrated that you're not worth my time, so whatever.
>>64303857
I'm not sure of what you're suggesting.
>>64303969
>All the girls at my university go crazy for Beyonce
And they are pop plebs.
What did Jay-Z do wrong
>>64304009
I really have no idea why you posted all this shit. What did you think the outcome would be other than derailing this thread?
Did anyone else think the album was pretty good?
Like, if someone asked for my thoughts I'd say "I thought it was pretty good" but wouldn't have much else to say.
>>64304037
so you think he has no saying in this? are you pretending he is not behind all of this?
Beyonce pretty much owes her career to him.
>>64304009
>Fallacious amplification of your singular opinion aside
the 14 year old is coursing through your post
>>64304044
Derailing it was his purpose, obviously. And it worked
>>64304082
>he doesn't know who Unty is
>>64304112
correct I abandoned this hellhole months ago and so I don't know what newtrips you underage faggots are tolerating nowadays
>>64303969
I admit that I shared in your frightening realization.
>>64304025
It's still "all" the girls at his university, though. That's a striking amount.
>>64304044
The thread was already derailed when I began my series of posts. I wanted a serious discussion on the merits of Beyonce threads on /mu/.
>>64304082
There's nothing wrong with that phrasing. I wanted to be concise, and through careful wording I was.
If you've a more or equally concise way to convey that, then please show me.
One of the songs in this album has 14 songrwiters, plus 3 of the sample.
How does a fucking song like that come about, jeez. How difficult is to write such a trite pop tune.
untie ur qt
>>64304081
Wh-what?? I saw that Beyonce was shitting on Jay-Z or something in one of the songs and I was asking what was up with that. Don't put words in my mouth, anon.
>>64304141
simple, you go to your board of directors room and have the writers in prior to the meeting where you demonstrate the value you'll add to their brand with the song
>>64304153
its called "acting" or "pretending", people in show business this days specialize solely on that. Beyonce is pretty much an expert.
>>64304082
>>64304132
That was a sincere challenge, by the way. I'm sick and tired of people like you and the unwarranted criticism that my speech and rhetoric receive.
>>64303072
>This board was meant to cater to niche genres of music.
I understand people listen to Beyonce's music. Sort of. But besides that put a ring on it song I can't think of any time I have even heard one of her songs and if one came on the radio I probably wouldn't know it was a Beyonce song.
I don't even know what the radio stations (locally to me) are that would play a Beyonce song.
Is Beyonce a social media star? Without Facebook and tumblr who would even know she existed?
>>64304168
but, I dont get it. Most peolpe dont even read or care for songwriting credits.
>>64304201
What's so funny about that
>>64301232
so fucking true
>>64304191
Okay I fucking get that but the song is like "if you try that shit again you're gonna lose your wife" and I JUST wanna know what the fuck he did, I don't care whether or not she's actually mad at him I just want context.......
>>64304206
She was pretty huge with Destinys child.
You probably live under a rock. She is not that huge right now, but she is a big superstar.
Justin Beiber and Rihanna are probably bigger than her right now. She is one or two steps below.
But for some reason most people think there is some sort of artistry to her bland R&B
>>64304235
Why do celebrities laugh like that? They just kind of hold their mouths open
so, first listen
Pray you catch me has good instrumentals, but the lyrics are so boring

Ten minutes later and you've still yet to post something less "pretentious" than my wording.
Hopefully the next time my rhetoric rouses your insecurities you'll remember this lesson and avoid talking shit.
>>64304247
Nevermind I looked it up fuggedabutit
