Amazon.co.uk Review
One listen to the eagerly anticipated third album from "The
World's Biggest Girl Group" and it's clear there is one
child with the most destiny. To paraphrase the hip-hop legends;
who's house? Beyoncé's house, and with the lead vocalist
producing or cowriting all of the 14 tracks it's hard to imagine
what those other two chicks even do (other than act grateful
to still have a gig). Seizing creative control is a bold move
for Miss Knowles, and anytime an R&B act eschews the beat
of the week, they have to be commended. But the problem is
that Beyoncé, even with her ambition, has yet to suss
out that the key to a pop-R&B smash is hook and melody.
With the exception of the now-played-out title track (Can
we all take moratorium on this mighty goddess theme for a
second, please?) and the equally you-go-girlish "Independent
Woman Part 1", most of the tracks here lack a strong
core. Beyoncé crams a litany of thoughts and motifs
into her mini-anthems, with samples ranging from Stevie Nicks
to Tarzan Boy, but though the cuts sizzle and sparkle and
throw off much attitude, Survivor is way too frenetic. Even
with some strong singing and songs (most notably the laid
back "Fancy"), Survivor lacks real emotion. --Amy
