Run the World (Girls), the lead single off Beyoncé senior set, was an audacious banger along the línes of Single Ladies, while the second pick, Best Thing I Never Had, found the Destiny’s Child alum returning to a more classic brand of R&B balladry. On standout album cut End of Time, Bey splits the difference between the first’s's stark, exotic vibe and the follow-up’s more traditional pop stylings, throwing enough melody into the mix to please those who were left cold by the former. Deja Vu producer Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins works his magic behind the boards, blending heavily-syncopated percussion and disco-informed brass flourishes into a catchy, compulsively body-moving backdrop for the singer’s always-impressive vocal stylings. The concept may be simple – Beyoncé‘s in love… and that’s pretty much it – but the artist makes the most of it, transitioning between staccato “flows,” multilayered chants and smooth crooning throughout. Think this one’s a winner? Debate away! And be sure to cop Beyoncé‘s 4 LP when it hits stores tomorrow, June 28.

I am not crazy about any of Beyonce's new material, "End of Time" included. She is super, crazy, sick, mad talented vocally and commands your ear when you listen to her sing, but sonically the material just sounds a little "been there, done that." All artists, especially those who have seen as much success as B has over the years, fall victim to this pitfall.

Definitely one of my favorites on the album, next to Party. This should have been the first single. Her voice on the chorus is triumphant and feels like a victory anthem.

Even though she tried to make this song her own, for some strange reason it sounds as if she is trying too hard. It is just OK I think.

This sounds like nothing any other pop star is doing. It is vocally and sonically strong and different. B is clearly miles ahead of the rest, even if not all the songs on this new album are entirely a success , they still show that she is consistently in the lead when it comes to progressive pop music. This song and album deserve repeat listenings - Banger

Not too fond of it; I prefer "I was Here". Diane Warren's songwriting there is flawless as always.
