Rocket for me. My second favourite song of hers after Schoolin' Life.
― Kitchen Person, Sunday, 15 June 2014 14:27 (nine years ago) link
some of my least favorite songs from the album have my favorite videos ("pretty hurts," "superpower")
with "xo," "blow," "flawless," and "rocket" i love both the songs and the videos a lot

Can't wait to see "Mine" win this poll!
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Sunday, 15 June 2014 16:28 (nine years ago) link
"Mine" has a great intro, wish the rest of the song could hang with it
"Superpower" just doesn't work for me at all, the whole thing just falls annoyingly flat
If I'm being honest with myself I should vote "Blow", "Haunted" or "Partition" but I'm very tempted to vote for "Heaven" just so it isn't goose-egged

"Haunted" easy but then that SNL sketch pretty much sums up my thoughts on her music

too early
partition, rocket & no angel

Revisiting this tonight, voted for "Rocket" but maybe wish I could switch to "No Angel"

Yesterday on a plane ride home I fell asleep without realizing "Heaven" was on repeat.

"XO" deserves more than two votes. Come on.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:08 (nine years ago) link
yay Rocket!

there's one station in D.C. that has been playing "Rocket" once an hour since April, starting to get annoyed that no other stations have picked up on it
― some dude, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:17 (nine years ago) link
i went thru a phase of playing "Rocket" for an hour once a week
― clockpuncher (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:18 (nine years ago) link
pretty surprised by the groundswell for "Jealous." it's a good song but i always got the impression it was in the middle of the pack for most and practically nobody's absolute favorite.
― some dude, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:19 (nine years ago) link
its sound is less interesting than a lot of the other songs on the album, but it's so psychologically acute! i love it. i also love no angel, which i would have wanted a higher placement for. and heaven should have gotten at least a vote.
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:21 (nine years ago) link
I regret not voting for "Heaven" in the worst way
kind of livid that "Mine" got votes over it tbh
― Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:25 (nine years ago) link
"now we reminiscing how we used to flex in texas" is one of my favorite lyrics on this entire album tbh
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:33 (nine years ago) link
aw I didn't notice this thread until just now! seems like a top 5 I can agree with, anyway.
every second of "mine" that's just beyonce is gorgeous imo. i think drake's only there to be one of those deliberate flaws you add in order to honor god's perfection.

hahaha I can almost buy that
I admit that the intro to "Mine" is stellar
― Star Gentle Uterus (DJP), Wednesday, 25 June 2014 00:34 (nine years ago) link
Would have voted for "No Angel",
― Tim F, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 02:17 (nine years ago) link
i for one am thankful that the Drake feature on this album is so shapeless and unappealing that it will never be a single

I've kind of come around to his weird rap at the end or at very least the line "Been about you and I'm still about you"
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 04:16 (nine years ago) link
i think i forgot to vote (well, still can't decide)

otm! "jealous" is sort of the heart of the album, the crux of everything beyoncé is trying to say, the one where she embraces contradiction without justification.
"heaven" is absolutely beautiful and extremely real - the anguish in her "NO!!!!" towards the end is so amazing.
what the fuck kind of savage would vote for "mine" in this poll -_-
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 25 June 2014 09:50 (nine years ago) link
shame no one voted for "Pretty Hurts".
― Lina, Sunday, 20 July 2014 12:35 (nine years ago) link
I think this is one of those definite instances where it would have wound up much higher if we were ranking them all instead of just picking our #1 fav

I would have voted for "blue" if I wasn't a convicted felon. That songs makes me bawl.
