First of all this is a genius concept and way of dropping an album. But only a few artists can pull this off and Beyoncé is definitely one of them.
Beyoncés music never was my favorite music, mainly because it's lyrical content is way too feminine. starting the album with Pretty Hurts dissapointed me because it is one of those feminine songs by Bey i do not like (although it's a very good pop song)
The rest of the album is, thank god, a lot less feminine which makes me like it a lot.
The video's are all well done, and high budget which makes the concept work, no one's here for 2/3 good video's with the rest being kind of filler so props to that. (Is this why Riri had such a low budget for her video's this year? LOL)
Musically: productions are fire, melodies are oke, but as a whole it flows really well.
Beyoncé pulled of a really good stunt which she will benefit off highly. Props to her and her team for the stunt of 2013
It should definetily be the first single although i woudn't mind Blow as the first single either
