I also like and admire her modesty on the album.. Nothing is over the top or too big and grand, it gives Beyonce and opportunity to really showcase herself as an artist, which is clearly what she was aiming for especially after '4' (which i find extremely inconsistent and patchy) I think thats why I'm LOVING this album through and through, where i HATED Beyonce for her OTT nature, the tricks and gimmicks, she comes through with a deeply mature R&B album with just TWO Pop/Crossover tracks, no EDM and it seems she has really thought it through.. Im rooting for her this time round!

what are the crossover tracks

Blow could smash, she should get Pharrel on it to guarantee it

Yup.. Pretty Hurts and XO - the latter, along with Britneys Now That I Found You are the two best pop songs released this year.

XO has to be a single. Its immense. Everything about it screams ANTHEM.

This album is amazing. Just amazing.

But I'm not here for another ARTPOP mess happens on Bey.

When the day that ARTPOP leaked, most of ppl were saying like "Album of 2013" "This is her best album"
And after ARTPOP flopped, they start saying "I'm done with her" "The music is a mess"

'BEYONCE' now with sales and good reviews, it better slay and doing well.
I'm so tired of hATeR-L.

ARTPOP's era is also a disaster and Lady Gaga has lost control of any "creativity."

Beyonce's videos are on target and beautifully polished.

[Rico Shameless v2]

Drunk in Love is the song of the moment.

I was just listening to XO and reading all the positive comments in this thread it made me feel so amazing She's really delivered.

Flawless just gave me chills to every time I listen to it I go off in my room gaundfo I LOVE HER

[Triz.]

This album is amazing. This is all I've been listening to since Friday afternoon. I'm still in shock.

I need her to comment on Heaven tho, some people are saying its about her miscarriage but then some people are saying its about her friend because of the video..

It's most likely about her miscarriage. Notice how Blue is the next track. This album really is a story.

Heaven is her praying in the church about the miscarriage and spending time with those close to her (Ashley, the female protagonist), having fun and moving on. Blue is the next track and the end to the story, and saying she's made it all ok. At least that's what I got from it and have seen others say

[av98]

just wish I been on was on this album

[Jet]

Am I the only one who tears up when hearing Blue (in a happy way) and heaven (in a sad way)? Such a personal album.

I read from one of my twitter followers that Ashley represents her daughter and the video is about the life Bey would of lived with the baby had the miscarriage not happened...it's very deep

[theo.]

"Blow"
"Rocket"
"***Flawless"
"Drunk In Love"
"No Angel"

The top five best songs on the album.

[Smooth]

incredible album from start to finish!
