Beyoncé

There is no other way to describe this fine work. Don't label this as a gimmick, this an artist with a genuine will to leave a mark on the history of music and mankind. I will save you the bore of analysing each track or video, but instead look into the impact this will have for years to come and what it will mean for up-and-coming artists and record labels alike. We live in a social media era that turned the world into a village where news are shared faster than they had ever been. Beyoncé's project is forcing musicians to be in touch with their fans, the same way Michael Jackson twisted MTV's arm to open doors for Black entertainers. It looks like you can no longer rely on your talents - I am not saying that she lacks it - but you have to market yourself visually, work hard to achieve the status that you crave for. The album also teaches musicians how to keep control of their work. This could be expensive, but with time, musicians can control how they want to market themselves. The visual album will stay with us for a long time since certain tracks translate better - looks better - when you watch it (GHOST/HAUNTED particularly). Musically or lyrically, the album breaks no boundary. It only follows a tried-and-tested template of contemporary RNB. This is what she does and this is what should be expected of her. I can't help but beg her to release a mp3 version o GROWN WOMAN. There has never been a video that I have played on repeat more than 10 times EVER! As a African music DJ, this is the perfect bridge and one of the reasons why I love music of African American origin, I can relate to it. We are like long lost family or in the words of Nas & Damian Marley, distant relatives... TRIVIA: Beyoncé may be the first artist to release simultaneously a CD & DVD for her new album, but this concept has been a trend by Congolese artists since the mid 1990s. When Koffi Olomide released V12, he did a video for each song. Even though many of those videos were of sub-standard quality, he inspired his colleagues to do the same. In 1999, PAPA WEMBA upped the anté when he released MZEE FULA NGENGE. A couple of months later after the official album release, he brought out a VHS - remember those? - with video clips of all the songs in the album.

if ure a cd collector and dont own that one, it means that you dont have collection at all. must have, what a beautiful CD. purchase now!!!

Stunning! Bought this on vinyl and could not be happier!! It is exquisitely presented and the printed booklet is a thing of a beauty and a nice addition. The music takes Beyoncé in a new direction from the previous album and you feel her pushing new boundaries and trying new things. Innovative, eclectic and emotive: there’s not a track I could falter. Highly recommend!

Beyonce is a good album with great marketing strategy. I always think Bey is for watching, not much of listening, so yes visual album is the best way for her. This one came up with top notch music production crews. Lots of great tracks, couple fillers. Bey didn't over-sing and adding rawness touch to the works. However, the most important thing is this album a foundation of her best work - 'LEMONADE'.

The CD itself was really good and so was the DVD included which was in high definition. The packaging was good quality and it arrived ahead of the delivery date. I would recommend this product to anyone who likes Beyonce even though it may be a little different from the previous music she's released. It's worth the buy.

Musically the best album I've ever bought. Almost every track is gold, high points are Mine, Rocket, ***Flawless and Partition, but the best I think is Haunted. Visually, less impressive and Lemonade is in another league. The Platinum Edition is reprehensible however, with the exception of the Flawless Remix, and perhaps 7/11.

Bought the used Cd and it was perfect! Packaging and cd was like new! Very happy. I bought 3 used albums for the price of 1 brand new one!

Decent product. It is basically as described. The booklet and outer package of it feel really premium and look great. The vinyl is as you'd expect, it doesn't look especially incredible just a vinyl of Beyonce's album. The disk is as described a DVD. Which is sort of annoying considering we were planning on using it in the car but of course CD players don't play dvds. The normal alternative would have been the digital download however you cannot get the digital download in the UK. Other than that the booklet and vinyl are nice and of quality.

DVDでビヨンセ姫を見れる。星５個進呈します。
