Upon first listen I thought “oh Abby’s gonna lose her damn mind over these classic rock flavors!”
As someone who never got deep into Beyonce, I gave it one listen and was like “idk… i guess its just not for me 🤷🏻♀️ “ But its getting more listens and the context you offer here truly helped me hear the POWER behind this record.
Absolutely love the album, have been streaming it on repeat for days. Masterpiece.
Absolutely do not love that the vinyl is missing 5 songs (something which we were not notified about in advance, and only figured out once they showed up and people started listening to them). I'm sure there was some sort of logistical reason for it (probably the vinyls went out for pressing before the tracklist was finalized), but it doesn't make me any less annoyed that I'm someday going to have to purchase an entire second copy of this album on vinyl in order to get one with Ya Ya on it.
I love the album, I love how Beyoncé made Jolene her own, but this definitely messes with my interpretation of Jolene as being death and/or substance abuse.
When I hear Bodyguard, I hear "Kill You to Try" from Daisy Jones (that Fleetwood Mac bass line). And then Prince in the guitar solo. I ADORE it.
