Firstly, I want to say that I was disappointed with this album at first. I love Beyonce and I think she's great but I had higher expectations.

Straight off the bat there were no stand out tracks for me, as most of the tracks on the album you have to grow to love. Compared to other artists today, the production was not great and none of the songs were memorable. I only started to like the songs after they were released or played on the radio.

Her first single, 'Deja Vu' was alright but nothing like 'Crazy In Love'.

The best tracks are:
Track 1: Beautiful Liar ft Shakira; This song has an arabic belly dancing feel along with the video and you can dance to it which is good.
Track 2: Irreplaceble; When I first heard the album I skipped this track, as it was slow and didn't grap my attention. After hearing it a hundred times on the radio the 'to the left, to the left' bit became catchy. But not exactly original stuff.
Track 6: Upgrade You; Its catchy because of the message and the lyrics but still not original. This could be by any artist.
Track 7: Flaws n All; The lyrics are quite meaningful, nice ballad
Track 9: Get Me Bodied; The best track on the album (the only one I wanted to listen to again). Up tempo track produced by Swiss Beats, good for dancing.
Track 16: World Wide Woman; Nice chillout RnB track

Worst Tracks:
Track 3: Green Light; This was released and some may like it but I think it was pretty awful. The production was bad also.
Track 5: Welcome To Hollywood; What the hell? I don't see the point of this song but I'm sure the video would be good if it is released.

Overall, an ok album but not the level I would expect
