I am upset i wasted my bandwidth on this mediocre attempt at an album. I never have been a fan of her dance music, by the way, but this is not what I've been waiting for her to come with either. It sounds like POP music. Not R&B, which is what I've been hoping for her to bring to the front for the past 6 years. Even with the 80's / 90's feel, it's not the R&B feel, it's the Madonna type POP feel. Don't get me wrong Madonna was the ish in that era, but Beyonce' should be getting back to HER roots, not the white artist's roots. Please, bey come back to black. I thought the saying was once you go black you don't go back, but you won't come back to black. Support the black genre of music so others can get the shine they deserve, too. You have the presence to bring it and to help others shine, but you keep sidestepping, why?

Oh, there is one very good song on this album,'Rather Die Young', the others are average/mediocre to just not good.
