Sam, I completely agree with you. The "I Am..." side to that Sasha Fierce disc was one of the most boring discs released last year. And unlike most of you here, I bought at least 40 albums in 2008, so I think i'm in a position to safely say that. The "Sasha Fierce" side was fun, but it lacks depth, and there were still some skip-worthy songs there, too. Beyonce has a nice enough voice, and she's a very interesting entertainer, but indie music?? come the fuck on! then again, i'd love for her to do such a disc- the bad reviews would do me well with a laugh! Stick to flipping your hair and shaking your booty, Beyonce- leave actual emoting to those who can.
