I thought I would only like a couple of song, but I'm surprised, I use 8/14. If the album was full of the style of Love On Top, Schoolin' Life, 1+1, etc... I think it would be one of my favorite of all time. The ballads are a bit boring, I can't seem to get into I Care or I Miss You, for example.
I don't really know how the singles went for this era, I guess it was Run The World > Best Thing I Never Had > Love On Top > Countdown lol I would've had Countdown > Love On Top > Party/Schoolin' Life > Best Thing I Never Had. Run The World as the lead single was one of the worst decisions I've ever seen, it doesn't represent the feeling of the album at all.
Also, how many versions of 4 are out there? I listened to the iTunes versions but god, it was a pain in the ass to decide what to choose

1. I Care & Rather Die Young are growers actually.
but if you didn't get into I miss you the 1st time then give it up

.
2. My single order would have been: Countdown, Best Thing I .., Love On Top, & End Of Time
3.Actually the 4 trackling starting with 1+1 sounds more like the classic album that it is.
I use the Platinum release of IASF because it's the best (with Why Don't You ♥ me & the order >>>)
I use the Standard Edition of B'DAY then I had Beautiful Liar & Flaws & World WW at the end.

I like your taste but you really have to get into I Care and Rather Die Young because they slay
and my favorite version is the initial deluxe version where 1+1 is the first song

mine is second worst
the rest are great

The worst song is XO/Superpwer (too light for Beyoncé talent).
Pretty Hurts is a great message song & her vocals are insane.
the bridge (pretty sure she wrote it herself) >>>>>> peers albums.
It has a neo-soul-meets pop sound. it has the potential to be the new UNPRETTY or FIREWORK.
