But everything sounds like a Blackout reject. Just Dance, Single Ladies, Rude Boy, and Tik Toc all could have been on the modern day Thriller known as Blackout

I can't speak on the other 2 albums, but would Pitchfork lie when reviewing Beyoncé?
Among other things, Beyoncé's "1+1" is a clever, of-the-moment update on Sam Cooke's "Wonderful World". Writer/producers Tricky Stewart and The-Dream retain the 1960 hit's "don't know much about algebra" line, but they scoop up that love song sentiment and plop it down into the perilous world of 2011. Cooke told his girl, "I know that if you love me too/ What a wonderful world this could be," while Beyoncé, referencing death, war, and maybe even a pending apocalypse, knows that the world is chaos, and just hopes that love can still do what Sam Cooke promised. "Make love to me," she implores, mixing vulnerability and confidence, and then she even explains why you should: "When the world's at war/ That our love will heal us all."
But this Sam Cooke update is also a Prince homage. Specifically "Purple Rain" thanks to those delicate guitars, melodramatic piano, and Beyoncé affecting the Purple One's high-register whimper a few times. But what could have been just a musical exercise for Stewart and The-Dream ("I don't know about guns/ But I've been shot by you" is a Prince-like head scratcher for sure) becomes something so much more for Beyoncé. So she really digs in and sells the song's knotty qualities, and when that over-the-top guitar break appears exactly when it should, it's cathartic. At that precise moment, this passionate pastiche of timeless pop becomes a classic all its own.
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/12212-11/
Definition of classic: A thing that is memorable and a very good example of its kind / Judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind

Many Blackout's rip-off are in public sis, don't try. One of the most influential pop album in last decade, and still bigger than many others' life

This lyric alone has so much meaning: If you love me, we can marry, on the west coast, on a Wednesday. |
Yees! 
Now it only needs a Tarantino video and some acoustic performances to do great.

But the people were just saying the critics praising 4 meant nothing but now because critics praised Blackout Critics mean something.

Ive never even heard Blackout, no lie. And im sure most people havent either, and im not even saying that because of its sells. Im saying that because most people dont even know what "BlackOut" is if you ask them. Sure her fans and pop music stalkers know it, but outside of that no one knows what it is.

Why?? There's a reason why only one of her songs is remembered. How is it their faults that the rest of her music didn't stand the test of time while they still recall the likes of beatles and MJ?

The other praises from those critics deserve to be acknowledged, but Blackout is still sitting at a 61 on Metacritic. The way you all speak of it, you would think it has universal acclaim.

Exactly. Rolling in the Deep, this year's biggest hit, is a near rip off of nearly everything on Blackout. The Power of Blackout

They are nitpicking certain reviews. Blackout is not even that big of a critical favorite. Doesn't it have like a 61 on Metacritic?
