Many may say (I did it initially also) that "B'Day" rather dispense with future classics of the caliber of "Crazy In Love". The interesting thing, however, that even more classic than the (overvalued by me as absolutely felt) predecessor "Dangerously In Love" are - you have to just listen first. It is true that the album has become very hysterical, you can almost the entire season shout optional or sing (if you're alone in the car). Stilitisch to Beyoncé moved on the safe terrain of black music Mainstremas but able to jump into different genres, from 70s Soul ("Suga Mama") over Hiphop bonds ("Upgrade U" with Jay-Z) to the local insane asylum ( "Ring The Alarm"). The songs are much less easily accessible, like Destiny's Child- or earlier Beyoncé-works is also due to partly daring tempo changes, the harmony only after some time is understandable, namely when a structure arises from confused sounds and lyrics. At least then you can also certainly similar effect numbers "Freakum Dress" and "Green Light" to differentiate (oh how pretentious!) And learn to love.
Pleasing (for me) is that Madame Knowles largely abandoned in her second solo album in the typical, slow R'n'B lard ("actually only" Resentment "and" Kitty Kat ") and continuously invites to toe-tapping to departure - a I often bemängeltes downfall to Black albums. So overall a very convincing, though getting used to working. Highlights were "Ring The Alarm", "Irreplaceable" (definitely a hit, is 3rd single, mid-tempo) and "Green Light ". So far, one of the most convincing works of autumn, but also one that many places displeases surely soon.
