Beyoncé | BEYONCÉ | Rosé Review

Recommended Posts

BEYONC%C3%89_LOGO.png

 

(Upon @Anna-wa's request!)

 

Pretty Hurts - 4/10

The intro is cute. Overall, I think the song is too whiney and like it's trying too hard. Not a good choice for an opener either.

 

Haunted - 5/10

Sounds like a Lemonade reject. The beat is pretty ear friendly. I think it would make a better interlude to outro the album.

 

Drunk In Love (feat. JAY Z) - 6/10

This song literally encapsulates an aeons. It's sooo long. Nevertheless it's still a cute trashy bop that lives up to the "Drunk" in it's title. Jay doesn't add much.

 

Blow - 9/10

Best song on the album! When I listened to BEYONCÉ top to bottom, this was such a refresher to my sanity after the record starting dragging on only three tracks in. The beat melted into my ears, dripping sensuality. I've only watched a handful of the videos from this album and this is my favourite after Yoncé alex1

 

No Angel - 3/10

Not feeling these vocals at all. vomit1 Continues the trend of boringness. No redeeming qualities, except for the occasional clean vocals.

 

Partition - 8/10

Yoncé is the track that got me to start paying proper attention to Beyoncé. A great intro. Possibly my favourite intro ever. I'd loose a finger for a full version! The video is also gorgeous! Partition itself isn't as good, but it's still enjoyable and defiantly should have been the album's opener. The french at the end is cool and the translation is interesting. I have to savour the bops on this album as they're few and far between. Yoncé and Partition do not disappointdemi1

 

Jealous - 6/10

Reminds me of the opening line of UUC by Willam (his parody of Love On Top). The song is okay. Not particularly interesting or special.

 

Rocket - 6/10

Sonically pretty. A slight improvement from the jealous. It could've been shorter by a minute.

 

Mine (feat. Drake) - 6/10

Meh. I feel like this song could've been way more high energy. Drake's chorus parts are what keep this song afloat for me, despite them not jelling with the song. I would prefer a whole two minutes chopped off the track time.

 

XO - 3/10

The whole song is basically just one giant chorus that is completely uninspired. It sound like some boring festival bop. I don't see why it was the lead.

 

***Flawless (feat. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie) - 7/10

I don't see anything wrong with this song. Feminist "anthems" just don't seem necessary anymore. The speech sample was mixed in well.

 

Superpower (feat. Frank Ocean) - 6/10

Meh. 

 

Heaven - 5/10

She isn't out of slow songs yet? orangu1 

 

Blue (feat. Blue Ivy) - 5/10

orangu1

 

7/11 - 6.363636364/10 (jj2)

Decent trashy bop. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

Flawless Remix (feat. Nicki Minaj) - 8/10

Revive me bitch! My attention span is back! Nicki's verse is fire! This version trumps the original by far! mess1

 

Drunk in Love Remix (feat. JAY Z & Kanye West) - 6/10

Kanye makes it less boring, but not much better. Jay didn't need to be on this version xtina11

 

Ring Off - 6/10

The production is adorable rih1

 

Blow Remix (feat. Pharrell Williams) - 9/10

Ain't better or worse! Pharrel and Bey have moderate chemistry. I'd be interested in them collaborating again. 

 

Standing on the Sun Remix (feat. Mr. Vegas) - 6/10

Meh.

 

Grown Woman - 8/10

A bop that should have not just been a video exclusive! The attitude is on point.

 

General commet/s:

There was A LOT of fat that could've been trimmed!!!

 

FINAL SCORE : 6.11/10

Best: Blow

Worst: Angel

 

If you would like me to review another album, let me know.

Well, he used part of the chorus from Jealous in the beginning of U.C.C so it's pretty obvious chi1

I personally think that Yonce has the perfect length. Partition alone is not that great, Yonce is here to save the day. chi1

I don't have time for the rest but there are obviously some choices here and it was kinda harsh review in general especially looking on your stan badges - I mean what is your problem with slow songs? Lana is definitely not a queen of bops, it must've been difficult for you to listen to Ultraviolence then jj3

 

Try with 4 next time, you're probably gonna enjoy it.

I only reviewed this because it was requested. I hope you understand that Bey's music isn't really in my realm for the most part, so I am biased to dislike most alternative R&B.

Ultraviolence sounds a lot more pleasant overall and the writing is more interesting IMO. Also, I just like rock a lot more.

I just might try 4 rav2

And yeah, I see that r&b is not really your thing. I remember what you said about SZA's ctrl jj3 Well, it's up to you if you want to have narrow musical horizons jj2

I was referring to Ultraviolence. Comparing my feelings toward alternative R&B verses alternative rock jj4 

As a general statement it is pretty unfortunate especially looking on the most of the artist you stan/like ny1

I actually like Ctrl so.......

FYI I actually don't try to limit myself. I started listening to Marilyn Manson this year. I think that's something in itself.

Well your opinion was quite cold so it didn't really sound like you enjoyed this album but maybe it was my impression sia3

Marilyn Manson is fine, I was thinking about this certain selectivity you have towards other genres sia3

What?

You said it was about comparison alt rock vs alt rnb and I acknowledge that. But as a general statement "I just like rock more" it looks unfortunate seeing that you like Ariana Grande for example.

You've taken that out of context. It wasn't a general statement. It was specifically comparing two genres.

How is it unfortunate that I "like rock more" and I still like Ariana Grande um2

How many times I have to say I've acknowledged that jj4 Do you even read what I'm typing? Should I say that I'm sorry cause I took "I just like rock more" as something general? jj4 Dear Lord.

Cause Ariana Grande is closer to r&b than she is to rock music? Common sense.

I don't see anything wrong with this song. Feminist "anthems" just don't seem necessary anymore. The speech sample was mixed in well.

I just have to comment on this. I definitely think feminist anthems are very important - especially now that we have Trump as a president who is trying to limit women's rights. However, this was released before Trump was president. Women's rights were still being insulted then a lot. However, I think Beyonce specifically made this track to make a point to the people who were trying to say that she has been doing nothing but being Jay's wife the past few years. That was my interpretation of it at least.

I'm glad you appreciate this iconic song demi1 It's my favorite Bey track ever.

 

I'm not awake enough to drag the scores I don't agree with so I'll leave that to everyone else. Hahaha. :P Thank you for giving us them post counts. ;)demi1

In my defense though, all I saw was him posting in "Which Beyonce song are you listening to" and saying he was loving Blow. Sooo I asked for his review of it.
