There's like three songs that sound the same and so CIL-ish. But overall it's F.UCKIN CATCHY.

"Irreplaceable" has potential to be my favortie song of the decade.

I LOVE IT!

i hated these clips.. it'll be no way better than DIL

X the singles and you can say DIL was the worst album of all time. It was an example of how to make a fillers album.

I don't exactly know what to make of it yet. It's very up-tempo but also repetitive and all the tracks seem to have alot going on as well. Even though they're clips, the album seems to make almost no sense, lyrically. I wanted Beyonce to express her singing talent with a meaningful, more dramatic, yet low-tempo album with the occasional up-tempos.

So far, the tracks I REALLY like are:
Irreplaceable - Pop/Rock-ish ballad, very nice. Should be the next single.
Kitty Kat - Very relaxed & cool.
Ring The Alarm - I've already expressed thoughts for this track.

Alright tracks:
Green Light - What CIL would have sounded like if the Neptunes were in control.
Upgrade U - The beat is cool.

The rest irk me because of their "all over the place" sound and attempts at trying to be CIL.

EDIT - The "Upgrade U" clip has grown on me. She should have released this as the first single. "Green Light" is good but very Amerie-ish. The rest, I'm afraid, will remain crappy. I want to hear "Resentment" and the bonus tracks. If they're good, I'll buy the album. If they're not...

"Resentment " is missing. I hope it's a powerful ballad.

Irreplaceable is not bad...

but I dislike the melodies (they're really odd) of the other songs...

The album sounds really bad. The arrangement/writing in her songs are all the same. The only good songs are "Irreplaceable" (Which sounds like a JoJo song) & "Upgrade U" (Which sounds like "Bring Em Out"). The rest sound like left over Amerie tracks. Judging from these clips, DIL is better, and that's definately not saying much.

Freekum Dress - No. I can't stand this song already, and it's onlky a clip.
Got Me Bodied - They were gonna release this instead of "RTA"? that has to be a joke. It's so annoying.
Green Light - i expected a full out banger. But it's okay.
Irreplaceable - Next single?Great song and pop & urban would eat it up
Kitty Kat - Boring, but it's not horrible like Freekum Dress.
Suga Mama - Filleriffic.
Upgrade U - Very good. I sorta wanna hear the whole song.
Ring The Alarm - Best song so far.
Deja Vu - CIL Part 2.

But since the album has only 10 songs, here's my rating so far:
6/10

If she goes for 4 singles, it should go like:

Deja Vu
Ring The Alarm
Irreplaceable
Green Light

the uptempo songs r a lil too crazy to me. and the lyrics are repetitive. but i gotta hear others parts of the songs to get a better opinion.

Irreplaceable and Upgrade U r the best so far.

"Irreplaceable" is the PERFECT choice for a mid-tempo third single. I can't wait to hear it in full.

Downloading... I'll tell my opinion as soon as I'm back from my english school!!

I'm not sure, I'll wait for the full thing. I agree with Arith-Alphamale's opinions of the songs except that Irreplaceable is my favorite song so far.

this is the competition for "Back To Basics"???

HAHAHHAHAHAHA

I'm not hating on Beyonce now. I loved Ring The Alarm and Deja Vu, but besides Irreplaceable and 2 songs mentioned before there are only **** tracks. Good songs=3, Fillers=7. Not a good result, Bee . This album is gonna re terrible "

freakdum dress sounds hot. i can't wait to hear the full verison of irreplaceable and upgrade you, they sound good.. everything else sounds the same, really.

i don't know if this can top dil though.

bad..bad...bad.... poor beyonce

My impressions by track.

Freekum Dress- That beat is so annoying. And if that's the chorus then...hmm.

Get Me Bodied- Like the beat on this one. Sounds like T.I. in the back??! Bee is singing REALLY weird on the track though. Like she's stopping through halfway a word and not finishing last part of the words. Know what I'm saying?

Green Light- I hate that first part where all she is doing is GO GO GoO Go GoG GOG GO. The verse picks up though.

Irreplaceable- Not very good. I'm surprised so many like it. Doesn't sound contemporary. I actually seeing this doing really bad on radio.

Kitty kat - B. O. R. I. N. G.

Suga Mama- I like this one. I can't figure out what's she saying at one part. Is it..."come sit up on my lap hey!"

Upgrade U- lmao at that song title. Can't decide if I like this one yet.

Grade (of the clips) C-

Hmm what to think of this clips lol ?????

Outstanding Tracks :
-Ring The Alarm
-Irreplaceable : Love it this one will really do good if its a single !! very pop and urban at the same time

Good tracks :
-Deja Vu : Dont like the lyrics but for a reason i find it artistic
-Green Light : Am i the only one feelin the clip , right now i can tell yall this will be one of the song youll like the most when u hear it in full
-Get Me Bodied : Dont know why but i like it its cool i like the way she is singin and all

Alright Clips :
-Upgrade U : I may like it in full but for now its ok to me
-Sugar mama : Very Ok clip and i couldve done without

Bad Clips:
-Kitty Kat : Nothin to say about it

Positive Things About Bday :
-Catchy songs
-Only one filler Kitty Kat but its easy since there is only 10 tracks
-To me sounds really different to any other records you may not like it but u gotta admit its really differnt and i like it

Negatives:
-Exept irreplaceable and Green light there is no real melody in the album some may like it , some may be diturbed by that
-Lyrics are kinda dumb for most of the songs
-Songs are really repetitive >>>> Guaranteed Hits but Ppl will get sick of them real fast

My girl aint playin around. I dont like to judge clips because they are misleading a lot..but these are very..different. This album is giving me a feeling of "The Love Below" because of all the weird melodies and the emphasis on the music. Freakum Dress and Green Light were my two least favorite which is odd because I was anticipating those the most.....

However, I am really feelin this and cant wait to hear full. DOnt wanna give no full judgements on clips cuz thats pretty stupid.

Omg Those Were Great!!!
