After a few days listening to 4 for the first time, i would rate the album...
God Tier
Love On Top, Schoolin' Life,
Countdown, I Was Here
God Tier But I Have To Be In The Mood For It
1+1, End of Time, Best Thing I Never Had
Cool Tier
Party, Dance For You, Start Over
I Still Don't Get It But I'm Still Trying Tier
I Miss You, I Care, Rather Die Young
Doesn't Belong To This Album Tier
Run The World
I thought I would only like a couple of song, but I'm surprised, I use 8/14. If the album was full of the style of Love On Top, Schoolin' Life, 1+1, etc... I think it would be one of my favorite of all time. The ballads are a bit boring, I can't seem to get into I Care or I Miss You, for example.
I don't really know how the singles went for this era, I guess it was Run The World > Best Thing I Never Had > Love On Top > Countdown lol I would've had Countdown > Love On Top > Party/Schoolin' Life > Best Thing I Never Had. Run The World as the lead single was one of the worst decisions I've ever seen, it doesn't represent the feeling of the album at all.
Also, how many versions of 4 are out there? I listened to the iTunes versions but god, it was a pain in the ass to decide what to choose
