Beyoncé Annoys the Hack Scribblers

Not that Beyoncé is really my kind of music, but I’ve got to admire the way she’s annoyed the music critics by releasing an album to the public without any advance warning, acting as if she’s a small independent prog act. Reviewers in the broadsheets have grown accustomed to hearing big mainstream mainstream releases months before the rest of us, and some of them don’t seem happy at the way she’s gone and short-circuited the whole process. More power to her, I say!
