Here's a review I think perfectly describes this dissappointing piece of work.
"On I Am… Sasha Fierce [Music World/Columbia], Beyoncé has chosen to try the “split personality” gimmick (which has never worked for anyone) and her rigid adherence to the flawed concept was not a good start. Sequencing the album with the ballads up front and the dance tracks at the end was the first mistake; filling the album with songs that aren’t very good was the second."source: allhiphop.com
If you haven't bought the album already, do yourself a favor and DON'T!! Does 17 songs really constitute a double disc these days? I remember when that used to be the average for a regular cd. I don't know, I just don't know B.

I totally agree with your review of Beyonce’s new album. It is so sad that as a very dedicated fan that has high expectations for B and so much excitement for her new release, receives a big letdown. B has literally narrowed my selection of good fall music. But hey, at least we have 3 good songs off of BOTH double disc (Singles Ladies, If I were a boy, and Diva)wowww
