Do I like it? Yes, my favourite album of hers. Awesome 4 the time (2008) and amazing longetivity in 2009. Hit after hit she charted, so I don't think it's tragic. I don't like when IASF is compared to her latest work and deemed as "tragic" or "mediocre." I find a lot of her recent work pretentious -- this is because of the public and her fans, not so much the content. If it weren't for the public, I wouldn't be having an aversion to Bey and her latest records.
To me, IASF is her "last" pop record, and I suppose the last time I liked her this much. For me everything downhill afterwards. I think part of my aversion comes from her fans and public, not so much her music content. So, I still love Bey's music; I'm just disgusted by how her latest records are treated, received, and other mechanisms like these. I'm starting that it isn't the music that needs to change; for me I think it's the fans, because I find that their toxicity has poisoned my love for Beyoncé, including her name brand and so associated acts and albums.
