B'day was an extremely smart career move. it was essentially CRAZY IN LOVE THE ALBUM. B'day is one of few albums that actually sounds like it's OWN GENRE. Survivor did also and so did 4. IRREPLACEABLE follows suit for sounding Like Nothing I heard before it, same goes for GET ME BODIED, Ring tge alarm, Kitty Kat and Resentment really the whole album. On B'day Every song was a 3rd or 4th SINGLE (quality wise) which is better than an album filled with FILLER.

It sadly almost Flopped. Irreplaceable and Beautiful Liar & the Re-release saved this record bigtime.
