4 flows like a magic only King B can create!

Beyoncé was on top of the world after releasing her third solo album "I Am... Sasha Fierce" in 2008. How she intended to follow that success was unknown, but she managed to do so with her most mature, emotionally deep, and sonically cohesive album to date! While it's true the track's on "4" might not be what we've come to expect from Beyoncé in the past, with this album she's sending us a clear message: Beyoncé cannot be defined!
As much as people will attempt to box her in and claim that "4" is going to flop commercially, its position on iTunes charts all around the world right now proves otherwise. While Run The World (Girls) was seen as a non-orthodox choice for a lead single, it was Beyoncé's message to the world that she's here to stay. On this album, as well, that message rings true! The way this album flows is truly magical. I will give each track a rating (out of 5) below, and I'll compile the scores to give an average (though overall I give the album a solid 5/5!)
1. 1+1 - [5/5]
2. I Care [4.9/5]
3. I Miss You [4.5/5]
4. Best Thing I Never Had [4.9/5]
5. Party (feat. André 3000) [3.8/5]
6. Rather Die Young [3.5/5]
7. Start Over [4.5/5]
8. Love On Top [4/5]
9. Countdown [5/5]
10. End of Time [4.7/5]
11. I Was Here [5/5]
12. Run The World (Girls) [4.7/5]
2. I Care [4.9/5]
3. I Miss You [4.5/5]
4. Best Thing I Never Had [4.9/5]
5. Party (feat. André 3000) [3.8/5]
6. Rather Die Young [3.5/5]
7. Start Over [4.5/5]
8. Love On Top [4/5]
9. Countdown [5/5]
10. End of Time [4.7/5]
11. I Was Here [5/5]
12. Run The World (Girls) [4.7/5]
Overall: [4.5/5] - In other words, I definitely recommend purchasing this album! It's not in line with what's popular on the radio right now, but that's all the more reason to love it. As big a star as Beyoncé is, she took a risk releasing such a, for lack of a better phrase, "non-commercial" album, but if you give it a chance to grow on you, most of you will be enjoying it for years to come!
What's great about it: This is REAL music!
What's not so great: Because it's not a sound that's "in" right now, it may be passed over by many who enjoy being spoon-fed manufactured pop
I would recommend this to a friend!
