Grade: WTF?

Blade(s): 1

Bottom-line: Keep it movin!

Review: If disappointment had a “stage name” it would be ‘Beyonce.’ Whyyyy was this shit released? Was she upset with her fans? Was this a “fuck you” to the industry? The “Double CD = Double Crap” Rule definitely applies here. This project was an example of an artist having too much garbage and deciding to off-load it on unsuspecting dedicated fans. Why abuse people who purchase your material: 1) out of blind loyalty to you, & 2) because they trust you will provide them with quality DESPITE released singles?

Anyhoo, the album itself barely had anything to hold on to. Perhaps two, maybe three, songs that I would not mind listening to again. The problem is that they were so insignificant to me that I didn’t even remember their names & I can’t stomach going through that album again. Once is about all the tragedy I can stand from Ms. “I want to be called an icon.” Well, congratulations; you are officially the Icon of Over-Sensationalism in my book! 1.5 blades & a WTF? for the three songs I can’t even remember fully aside from the fact that they were slow tempo & NOT ‘Who Runs the World (girls).’ The album lost .5 points for slowing down the tempo to ‘Who Runs the World (girls)’ and reusing the same shit for another song. Real fucking lazy.
