Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
History may prove Beyoncé's B'Day to be a rare double-whammy of an achievement. Not only is it destined to hold up as one of the thumpingest, most polished-sounding discs of 2006, it's also bound to loose a new phrase into the popular lexicon: a "freekum dress" (n.), as described on a same-named track halfway through this excellent CD, is a "right-fittin'" garment owned by every woman; "when they act wrong, that's when you put it on." Linguistic hijinks aside, here is Beyoncé as the public rarely sees her: fully liberated and artistically fearless. "Ring the Alarm," a big-banging, fire-alarm-clanging wake-up call to a cheating man, finds her seething; "Kitty Kat," a feline-like size-up of a stale relationship helped along by the still innovative Neptunes, shows her spurned; the womanly, fire-in-the-belly come-on "Suga Mama" gets her way, way worked up; and the crackling, vocally volcanic "Resentment" steeps her in Aretha-caliber soul. For all the disc's solo trailblazing, though, where it really soars is on one of two duets with Jay-Z: While "Up Grade U" chugs along entertainingly enough about the good life ("I'm talkin' spa bags and fly pads and rooms at the Bloomberg"), opener "Deja Vu" blasts out a bomp-bomp beat nobody with a head to nod could resist. Cake, candles, and Cristal or no, B'Days rarely get this good. --Tammy La Gorce

CD Description
Beyonce had little to prove on her second solo outing, B'DAY, having already demonstrated her taste, (solo) vocal prowess, and sparkling star quality on her first post-Destiny's Child release in 2003. Nevertheless, the singer and her crackteam of producers and collaborators (R&B's finest, including the Neptunes, Swizz Beats, and Rich Harrison) have come upwith a collection that's at least equal to her previous triumphs, and that shows off an almost angry intensity only hinted at on earlier releases.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtakingly Fresh, 23 Sep 2006
I bought this the day it came out after loving Deja Vu which is a brilliant song but on her new album it almost blends into the background. This whole album has a very new and fresh sound that if anything is a bit ahead of its time. But this whole album is absolutely brilliant. Generally this is a fast paced hip hop and R&B album with many club suited tracks. However unlike her previous album, Dangerously In Love, there is no filler partly due to its length.

The best tracks on this album are:
1.Resentment
Skipped this track on first playing but that was a complete mistake. This is head and shoulders above all the other songs on the album. Beyonce's voice has really progressed and become even stronger than before and more brassy. This is her show case. One of my favourtie songs of the year.

2.Get Me Bodied
This is another track that at first I didn't pay any attention to but now I absolutely love it. It has got a brilliant beat and I love the chorus and the bridge. Can't help but love this track and would be absolutely amazing in a club.

3.Green Light
This is track Beyonce wrote with the Neptunes and has a similar sort of feel to Crazy In Love with the heavy brass chorus. This is another very catchy song that is irrestible.

4. Listen
This is one of the bonus tracks that is a sweeping ballad that she sings very well. The only problem with it though is that I don't like the way it ends so abruptly.

5.Check On It
The song for the pink panther and still sounds great despite being a year old. I will never get bored of this track.

Other songs that are worth a mention are: Suga Mama (reminds me of 'Work It Out' on her last album but is fresher and better) Freakum Dress (great upbeat track) and Ring The Alarm - this track gets better the more you listen to it. In general I was very happy with this album and its new sound despite my initial disappointment upon first hearing. Certainly worth buying and it is better than Christina Aguilera's new album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ideal present for any B-Day..., 27 Aug 2006
By A. Ede (faversham, kent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
One of the most eagerly anticipated albums of 2006 doesn't fail to impress...
Heres a short review of each song on the album:
1.Deja vu feat Jay-Z 8/10 Catchy song. Great choice for a first single
2.Get me bodied 7/10 Decent enough. Not my favourite though
3.Suga Mama 8/10 Good track. Very similar to a previous Beyonce single 'Work it out'
4.Upgrade U feat Jay-Z 7/10 Its OK, not really feeling it...Shame as its the only other duet with Jay-Z
5.Ring the alarm 9/10 Great tune, its got a pounding beat, a real club track. Also Beyonce's second single
6.Kitty kat 8/10 A sexy little number
7.Freakum dress 9/10 Great song, really catchy. Possibly the third single
8.Green light 8/10 Slickly produced. Not a favourite though
9.Irreplaceable 9/10 Very clever song, smooth melody. My favourite from the whole album, definite single
10.Resentment 8/10 Quite a sad song discussing Beyonce's heartache over a cheating boyfriend...features former Destiny's Child members Kelly and Michelle. Great way to end the album (Even though its nearly a direct cover of Victoria Beckham's version)
So forget the tedious rumours saying Beyonce's new album is rubbish...its the perfect follow-up album to 'Dangerously in love'

4.0 out of 5 stars Still the best R&B has to offer but far from perfect..., 27 Oct 2006
By D. Ashtiany - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
'B-Day' is a great album. It has all the required elements to make an R&B classic: heavy beats, great vocals, world-class production, big collaborations and of course, Beyonce's incredible sex appeal. But even with all this there's still something missing...depth.
Beyonce has somehow managed to create a whole album comlpetely lacking in substance. Tracks like Freakum Dress, Get Me Bodied and Suga Mama are great for getting down on a dancefloor, and truly prove that she is still the number 1 R&B artist around, but anyone looking for anything more than sex, partying and the love material possessions aren't going to find it here!
Where are the meaningful and liberating lyrics that songs like 'Survivor', 'Through With Love' and 'Independant Women' have made Beyonce famous for? These tracks are when Beyonce is truly at her best, and yet she seems to have completely neglected them here.
Other than with the bonus track 'Listen' written for her new movie 'Dreamgirls', Beyonce basically sold out.
That aside, this is still a great album with standout tracks including 'Upgrade U' and 'Irreplacable' amongst others, and i can't wait to see her perform them live when she tours, but seriously Beyonce...stop being so 2-dimensional and show some depth!!
