What is the general feeling on Beyonce's album?

I mean. I personally think she is great! Her album shocked alot of ppl cause its not like dangerously in love. But her songs stick out not none of this Lovey dovey stuff. C'mon who says Freakum dress, To The Left (u know, u felt that), Deja Vu, Listen, Upgrade U ( comparing Hermes Briefcases)
