The surprise release was GENIUS. She really let the album speak for itself instead of being all pretentious like other artists. It was my favorite Beyoncé era, singles-wise. All of my favorites from the album became singles except for Jealous and Mine. Plus, I loved the whole visual album concept. She took what she did with B'Day and made it better. And then she really stopped giving a **** and showed us what she's really like, I mean, we all knew the bitch was ratchet. Well done Bey.
