On the whole, an album at first listen appears prima correct. But over time makes itself admittedly broad a certain monotony and boredom. Of course, the album highlights (Independent Woman, Survivor, Fancy, Dangerously in Love & The Story of Beauty) are real top hits. The album has hardly bad songs (höhstens Happy Face), but the many mediocre are clearly misplaced! It does a nothing when an album 18 tracks (actually great) has, but it more than half are so simple. LIKE FOR R'n'B fans the work is a must. For everyone else, I recommend thorough preview!
