I actually wouldn't change anything about the standard tracklist of 4. Thematically speaking, it's consistent and tells a story the whole way through (up until "I Was Here," at least).

The way I see it, the album's subject matter is roughly divided between a doomed and successful relationships. Tracks 1-4 deal with the failed relationship, and Tracks 5-10 deal with the fostering, maintenance and solidification of eternal love.

It's only fitting that 1+1 opens the album because it presents the concept of love in a very simplistic and mathematical way, and a successful relationship is anything but simple. This is why the second half of the album, dealing with success in love, takes about three songs of development and road bumps until she finally starts professing a deep attachment to the other person; this section is culminated with End of Time, the affirmation that she has indeed found eternal love.

I Was Here, though not exactly part of the prior narrative, nevertheless fits with the theme since a successful relationship could be taken as "leaving a mark" on this world. The one inconsistency seems to be Run The World, but I can't hate too much on a boppy album closer since I'm quite frankly sick of albums ending on a slow note.


And that is why 4 is her best album.

Teach the chirren Koo!

If consistency, and storytelling are what makes an album superior to its sibling albums, then does that make The Fame better than FM/BTW?

He'll be in Arrow though.

Its is true.

The show simply won't be the same without him. He was the best thing the it had going.

(Dylan is ok)

you guys need to recommend some good TV shows *.*

the only one i'm into is Slayme of Thrones.

Jaymi is the only good singer unfortunately. Starts about a minute in.

He's not nearly as bad as I expected.

What is with that new avatar? Heinous.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Let me go follow him.

Spoiler

I am sure she will pass him again as ARTPOP gets closer.

He's not nearly as bad as I expected.

I told you lol.

Honestly they shit all over 1D's X Factor performances.

(Though 1D was 16 at the time whereas Union J are all in the 20's with the exception of the strange looking one..... so you would expect them to be better.)

If you really like FF8, you are beyond hope.

You tried boo, but I'm not here for the música of Beyoka's previous albums. I suppose one could argue Kleptoncé does ratchet better than soulful balladry, and she should stick to the former, but I'm mostly not here for her sterile, Keedy Black-meets-Disney pussy bops.

There are far better acts to fold my pussy inside out to. Did I lie?

*.* Mad Men *.*

i was into that and got ~6 episodes in but then school started @___@ definitely on my to-watch list.

 

[Artemisia]

So can we finally close the chapter on the '4 is not Beyonce's best album' delusion?

Yesssss start watching. Best show on TV.

You need to get on that. Mad Men > most cable shows.

The Good Wife and American Horror Story: Asylum.

Dammit why did everyone stop posting suddenly?

I had to suddenly pay attention to someone. BUT im here. Jaymi is amazing and people often question what George brings to everything but he has the cute factor that grabs girls.

Mad Men is everything

Yeah I never watched the show, but I don't see why they added him other than to add variety to hair styles and to make them seem younger.

Yeah they try to have them all act young (Like on their damn livestreams they do.) But only George pulls it off cause he IS young.

The Good Wife and American Horror Story: Asylum.

I taught you well. *Squeals*

sweet jesus i'm getting hyped now O_O better be as good as yall say

Mad Men its amazing. WATCH IT NOW and American Horror Story: Asylum.

 

[<+)O Robido O(+>]

Mad Men is boring. Watch Breaking Bad or Walking Dead, if you must tune in to AMC. I echo the American Horror Story sentiments. Also, the Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, Shameless, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, Archer, Spartacus, Teen Wolf, Scandal, Doctor Who (UK), Being Human (US & UK), Misfits (UK), ....

 

[Artemisia]

Breaking Bad is far better.

I second Saintz mention of The Good Wife.

Flawless TV.

Yeah I noticed. I hope they don't try to be a 1D clone....because they WILL fail.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo

 

[SaintZ]

I taught you well. *Squeals*

You did tbh. I'm happy I decided to check it out, now I can't wait for the finale. I might check s1 out of curiosity too.

ETA: How could I forget, YES, I agree with Robido with Misfits.

I was also going to say Honey Boo Boo in my first post lol. Alana and June are the new reality tv queens until New York comes back tbh.

I was gonna list more... but... I watch too much TV.

Teen wolf you say?

Teen Wolf and Vampire Diaries ended up being a lot better than I thought they'd be. I forgot to add Nikita to that list. Nikita slays.

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo

lol also flawless.

I second Supernatural and Archer.

Also 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, Cougar Town, Nashville, New Girl, Community, and Happy Endings.

i agrih with you

breaking bad is high octane mess that will keep you on the edge of your seat with each episode

The Good Wife flopped this season tho

I recommend multiple Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy winner (including Best Drama Series) Homeland *o*.

No KALINDA (well her storyline...Kalinda herself is flawless) flopped this season.

The rest is fine.




Edit: Another show I find relatively entertaining is Once Upon a Time...

Oh yes, this too.

I laughed more than feel tension. Also the main cast was terrible (The Doctor, The Wife and the Girl)

The show was saved by the ghosts and Jessica Lange who stole the show.

Community,

Ugh yes. The whole thing with Nick was a hot mess. Now I'm looking forward to watching Elsbeth Tascioni work her magic next week Sunday *.*

lol this may be a dumb question are you and waffle being serious with this show &#3232;_&#3232; i literally know nothing about it

If you like reality tv you might enjoy this.

No lies. Such an unfortunate storyline.

I'm still seething, what were they thinking?

Honey Boo Boo seems like a person who would stan for CRJ.
