Yeah it’s not about her not caring about streaming numbers; it’s about them trying to force fans to get Tidal and thus essentially keeping music from fans.

I get not putting the album on Spotify, but I wish they at least put it on itunes. Yeah I'm tired of her being petty and ruthless. That said, it's not like this joint album was needed. Will listen tomorrow, I just can't at 2AM. Now drop the solo sh*t we've been waiting for Bey!

I knew something big happened for ATRL to be down. Then I checked a fake Wendy Williams twitter account and found out Beyonce dropped a new album. Then I came here and saw Jay-Z's name attached to it and got de-hyped. Nevertheless, I listened to Apeshit and loved it so I'm now looking for a way to listen to the whole album without having to download Tired.

I read that this is basically a full blown trap album. If that's the case I won't even bother to listen. I'm disenchanted (to put it mildly) with Beyoncé's recent music as is, I just CANNOT stomach more of that tuneless shit from her.

I have no idea why they waited so long to release it. It was all set for release in April.

They likely could have avoided all the negative headlines about them giving away tickets, and it is probably too late to even help the ticket sales for remainder of the Europe leg of the tour much. Only thing I can think of is that they wanted to let all the shine be on her Coachella performances, but then they could have still released it in May.

I'd love to see how much they have to fudge the numbers for TIDAL to be "profitable" and how many users keep their accounts after the 6 month trial.

If you liked Lemonade you will probably like this. If you want B'Day Beyonce, then this isn't for you.

Apeshit doesn't do much for me after a few listens - but neither did her last album, really... and that grew on me. The video is quite striking visually. I like how Jay looks these days.

I'll listen when it's on spotify. So probably never which is unfortunate. Stop trying to make Tidal happen, it's not going to happen!

why does everyone on Pulse hate Jay Z lmao I don't know if hate is the right word. I think people just vastly prefer their solo material to the bulk of their joint projects. IMO, Jay actually brings Bey's stock down and I wish they'd stop trying to shove their power coupledom down our throats. Jay does kind of give off a shady vibe (business-wise) and that probably rubs people the wrong way too. But when the two of them are doing their own thing it's cool. I'm not downloading Tidal so I don't know when I'm gonna hear this. I'm not really in the mood to even sit through Apeshit at the moment.

I don't think they share the same audiences? Whoever was going to check out Christina's album isn't going to suddenly stop because The Carters released an album on Tidal. The only person who should be annoyed is Nas lol.

They're just not in the same league these days. Just listened to this and watched the video with my friend and some wine, we had a great time. I think it's great. The video is insane.

I'm not going to listen to this album now.
If they aren't releasing this to iTunes in a week, I probably will forever refuse to listen to it, just like Kanye's Life of deleted.
I'm not letting some fuck shit trash app into my smartphone just because of a celebrity. Who do they think they are, like really?

The "Stream the album exclusively on Tidal, to get a Tidal - exclusive bonus track" thing is the most idiotic thing I've read all year. Release it to iTunes already. You're gonna lose all the hype points. PS: I'm gonna download it online and then they're gonna lose every single penny they'd earn from me

The Tidal hate is real and completely understandable but as long as they keep serving me free six-month trials, I ain’t complaining. Now when they force me to pay for the shït is when I’ll bother uploading bootlegged mp3s to my phone.
And, for what it’s worth, Spotify and AM could stand to steal some ideas because Tidal has the best interface of the three to me.
