I was waiting for this post yesterday, so I'll just c/p what I wrote in the FFA.

Spent all day finally listening to Cowboy Carter! Tyrant has become my personality (Meg needs to hop on a remix ASAP), but Daughter unlocked something deep within me.

More faves:

- Riiverdance
- Ya Ya
- Sweet Honey Buckiin'
- Amen

I have to agree with most of the ppl and think the Jolene is my least favorite track BY FAR (the Plastic Off the Sofa of this album I guess), but I do think this is Bey's most solid album of her career thus far.

I still prefer Renaissance because that speaks to me on a deeper level as a Black Trans Non-Binary, but Cowboy Carter was really enjoyable to me. It definitely felt like a Black Southern Gospel/Country album and as someone who was raised in church since birth, I was able to enjoy this album immediately compared to most people. Christina ofc said it perfectly: https ( ... )

I really hope Megan gets to a feature remix on basically any Cowboy Carter song but Tyrant would be so good!

Jolene is definitely not my favorite but I still end up listening to it when I start the album too to bottom (which is almost every time). Unlike Renaissance, I think the order of the songs could have been shuffled. I see a lot of people saying Flamenco is a skip, but I think it's just because you want to Ya Ya again.

I didn't realize Tierra Whack had a new album, so thank you!

Tyrant was MADE for Meg! I think the song would be even better with her on it.

I think my biggest problem with Jolene is that it's overly heterosexual lmao. I know it's theorized the song is from Tina's perspective, but I would've liked if Bey made it more sapphic (even though she's straight) like that would've been a nice change up. Flamenco is eh, but you're right, I just want to get right into Ya Ya. I definitely agree that the track list could've been shuffled (sans Ameriican Requiem and Amen being bookends [CHEF'S KISS]) and I went into this album thinking the songs were gonna interweave like Renaissance.

No problem! Tierra is criminally underrated so I hope this album lives up to her talent and she gets to shine this year.

That Imagine Dragons man not only looks like a 2nd tier WWE wrestler, he sings like one too.

He can suplex me any day of the week, idk. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[nermal_kat]

he loves to do oil checks

Ava Max seems to exist so record companies can make money off of their old catalogues by having her tunes sample them.

The way I just woke up and thought the universe pulled a Groundhog Day on me. 😂. Then I saw the edit on the post lol.
