What do you mean?

A lot of albums are fresh but just awful quality.

Does anyone remember my slight meltdown over BEYONCE?

Well, if she does alt RnB, my reaction will be that, but amplified.

f i remember!

and she's so gonna have some alt r&b on here so I'm ready

Rocket & Jealous are definitely not duds, they're two of the most impactful songs conceptually.

Ring Off was a bit trash, but I didn't care for the extended stuff anyway.

B'Day was pretty on trend, considering the whole Timbaland sound had a mini-revival and it kinda sounded like that.

B'Day dated terribly and sucks now. It sounds like she tried super hard to the the Blues&B thing.
Deja Vu sucks now, low key. It's so tuneless and boring. Ring The Alarm, too.
Even if she was "on trend" it's not totally intriguing or groundbreaking or even close to it.
Only the Stargate song(s?) and the Shakira collab sound fresh and listenable today.

Kitty Kat though

I had a HUGE meltdown. I just randomly logged online and she just happened to release the album like 5 minutes afterwards.

I really wanted to wait and buy the physical too so I stopped myself from listening to any song for the two weeks it took and then the first day it was available I went out and bought it and my sisters and I listened to it together in the car and were instantly floored.

d his was a bad meltdown though.

Well, Rocket isn't a DUD dud, but it's still too long and kind of just too drawn out.
It's a Justin Timberlake song.
Jealous is definitely a dud. Relateable - but dud.

That doesn't mean she was behind the trend. A lot of groundbreaking albums sound dated now - just look at Madonna's work pre-LAP.

I love Jealous, one of my favorites off the album.

self titled>B'Day>4>IASF>DiL

if we're counting platinum edition, swap B'Day and self titled. 7/11 and Flawless Remix are the only good things on platinum edition.

[Prismy]

Halo is such a flawless song, I like it even more than Already Gone even though I'm a Kelly stan.

[Diarrhoea]

The only good thing about the Platinum Edition was the Flawless remix being for purchase, the original is nice but it's not really a song.

this is so accurate lmao

B'Day was another iconic album like self titled

another visual album and also really popularized deluxe editions

[minho]

Oh d

I kind of want her to take the avant-garde stuff and the post-modern feminist lyricism even further with the next one. I'm hoping for like a no restraints album.

But I feel like she might do a really happy/fun/party album too idk.

Eh. Don't see what's so groundbreaking about Madonna pre-LAP.
She was doing "new stuff that was cool at the time" but groundbreaking is a stretch.

bey is such a visual artist. i love that i stan for her. she just loves making music videos so much.

ummmM That's a new one.

[Guernica]

Jealous is amazing and Sam Smith agrees and he's a grammy winner so obviously his opinion is more important
