Beyonce B Day

Pros: Still Unique ideas and sounds
Cons: Fails in Compared to other work

Every top artist always goes through the pressures of topping themselves, though some never do it. And while their works is still better than the others out there, the collection disappoint because they are capable of so much more. Michael Jackson after Thriller, Stevie Wonder after Songs In the Key of Life, and most recently, Beyonce after Dangerously In Love
This is not to say that B'day is not a bad album. Songs like Deja Vu, The first single off the sure fire muti-platinum album is good. A strong use of horns and drums to accompany the powerful voice that is Beyonce is more than pleasurable to the ears. Ne-Yo brings his magic touch with Irreplaceable, easily the best track that the album has to offer. But most of the dance songs sound bland such as Get Me Bodied and Upgrade You, while the slow smooth songs are boring such as Kitty Kat. Ring the Alarm is just not a song of Beyonce's caliber. The album is still great compared to other R&B albums that we heard over the past year, it is just that B's day of recording a worthy follow-up to the masterpiece Dangerously In Love is not accomplished well.
