Im really shocked at all this praise in this thresd for this album like what is so unique or groundbreaking about this album or the production. Even the visual is a little forced. Like everyone wants to be edgy so bad nowadays.
I hoped trap bey was taking a break this time around.
The cover art>>>>
But thats about it tbqfh
why can?t it just be a great body of work? And there?s only one trap song 
Every album doesn?t need to be groundbreaking or shift the genre
They?ve both done that already in their own way. u don?t have to like it of course, but i don?t understand the need to shit on the album just because it isn?t unique

.
I always ask myself in situations like this, if it was a......Wale and Marsha A. collab would we be going up? Of course bey and jay are a brand and that adds to the whole package but.....yea.
Their talent isn?t in the same stratosphere, so, no, we wouldn?t be going up at all
come on now. This post reeks of bias at this point
They aren?t just a Brand. Their gifts are not to be denied, period. Even if you don?t like the album itself, neither of those examples you used could EVER sdddd and i like Marsha
But isnt that all subjective?
Its obvious I dont dislike them or else I wouldnt be "disappointed" in this album. And I would beg to differ re: Wale and Marsha and their levels of talent.
If anything I think your response reeks bias. I am just stating I am disappointed. You're stating I should like it because it is undeniably good.
???
I like Bey as a singer. Yea she sings a few tunes here but I enjoy her as a "1+1", "Hello", hell even "Countdown" type singer. Shes riding this new wave of delivery that I enjoyed for a moment but didnt want to seenl in her next project.
The production is quality but not dynamic. Its.....good.
So...to me...the album is ok. And so because in my opinion its "ok", I was just shocked to see all this praise in this thread (going back to my op) because we (as a forum) have been a lot more critical of albums that pushed the needle a little more than this one from the carters.
