That Rolling Stone article wasn't even negative. They basically said Beyoncé is reigning, they called her a winner, they threw lite shade at someone (sold copies the old-fashioned way), and they highlighted her 4th #1 album.
Love On Top was my favourite in the beginning, but since then 1+1, Best Thing I Never Had, End Of Time and Schoolin Life have snatched it's scabby 1960's throwback weave.
