Often times, I get the feeling Beyonce music was better in DC than solo. I was randomly listening to The Writings on the Wall album last week for some reason, and it still snatched me. It is all Latavias talent I am sure
B'Day has great highs, though. I kind of get what people mean when they say there's too much going on for a whole record, especially if they have the deluxe.
Besides, Touch by ACCLAIMerie kind of covers a lot of the same ground as B'Day sonically and is kind of better and more enjoyable as a whole album. Don't @ me.
