Pros: The occasional Fun Party track, Two great ballads.
Vocals.
Cons: Wow-um read the review. :-(
Summary: 2001, I remember it well. I was 14, my siblings were gone for the summer and the world-well the neighborhood at least was my oyster. 2001 Was also coincedentally the year that Destiny's Child released their third album, "Survior". I had been a fan ... read more

Pros: There are some great moments. They have terrific harmony.
Cons: There is something wrong when over half of your CD is filler.
Summary: There's something about girl groups, isn't there? You've always got the same thing going with each one. First off, there's usually a star in the group. (Diana Ross in the Supremes, for example.) Girl groups notoriously bicker and member changes are ... read more

Pros: "Dangerously In Love" and a few (and I do mean few!) okay songs
Cons: Overproduced, bad lyrics, too bubblegum, Beyonce monopolizes the vocals again, and loads more.
Summary: The Main Idea: After a pair of well-produced, soulful efforts, Destiny's Child sold out and created their worst album to date, Survivor. Though the record does have a few catchy songs, there's really nothing that sticks out at you as a maj ... read more

Pros: Great harmony, vocal quality, hard work shown, variety
Cons: Lyrics don't fit with music well, Too much of lead singer
Summary: I will be the first to say that the Destiny's Child C.D. "Survivor" shows excellent vocal quality, great harmony, and variety in music. It's obvious that an extraordinary amount of work was put into making this album. However, some of the lyrical texts ... read more

Pros: Absolutely stellar vocal arrangements...kudos to Beyonce
Cons: Lyrics are complete garbage...*wagging finger* to Beyonce
Summary: Seriously, just a few more revisions, y'all. Bear with me. You'd think that in the year or so since I originally wrote this, I might have grown to like the record more. Not so. So if you already read it...I understand.

Pros: Good harmonies and vocal skills. Songs with good messages and upbeat.
Cons: TOO MUCH BEYONCE, filler songs, silly, hypocritical lyrics.
Summary: I was so pressed to get this CD when i heard it was coming out but I bought it way later after all the hype died down about it. When I first listened to it, I was content with it and felt like dancing to most of the songs. But then later on down the ... read more

Pros: The ballads are decent and "Emotion" was a great choice for a cover.
Cons: It's cool to be independent. Just don't be unimaginative or untalented.
Summary: I am not a Destiny's Child hater. Hey, Beyonce, I ain't mad 'cause you kicked out them other two chicks. Business is business, and you gotta do what you gotta do. What I AM mad at is that you've suddenly decided you're this major producer/songwriter. OK ... read more

Pros: Great rythms, great singing, great to dance to
Cons: Tends to be a little "moany" at times.
Summary: Ok, where to start. Yes, I do own the second Destiny's Child album, "Writings on the Walls." Being a DC fan, I do like it. However, this album, "Survivor," exceeds all their others. Here's a look at all the tracks.

Pros: Sign of maturity
Cons: Needs more songs dealing with being a survivor
Summary: What do you get when you mix Beyonce, Kelly, and Michelle together? You get DC3, the supposely final Destiny's Child. After dealing with drama after drama of press related issue regarding the separation of two other members, Destiny's Child returns with ... read more

Pros: great vocal talent, good beats
Cons: same old thing, album loses energy in latter half
Summary: For an album that's helping the 3 girls from Destiny's Child skyrocket to superstardom, you'd have thought that it would have been a little more original. Instead, their latest album, Survivor, was a repetition of their previous styles and extremely ... read more

Pros: Good songs, good singers.
Cons: Some of the songs seem a lot alike.
Summary: I wasn't expecting much when I bought "Survivor." I was expecting a bunch of "Indpendent Women" clone-songs. I was, however, pleasantly surprised! Here's an overview of the tracks:

Pros: Booty Shaking For A Minute
Cons: Too Many To List Here
Summary: Destiny’s Child should be disappointed in their third foray into the music world. I know that the group catches a lot of flack for having Beyoncé sing lead, but frankly, she should have kept singing. The fact that they all have to sing on every song is ... read more

Pros: This was a better listen than expected.
Cons: These girls need a lesson in humility. Too much patting each other on the back.
Summary: The only way you will enjoy this album is if you haven't heard the first three songs played on the radio one too many times. "Independent Women Part 1", "Survivor" and "Bootylicious" are all great pop singles and they have the chart success to prove it. ... read more

Pros: Great voices
Cons: none
Summary: As soon as you put in the CD, track one is the brilliant and catchy 'Independent woman part 1'. From here on the quality hardly ever goes down and in the end it is their best album which is saying a lot considering their last album 'The Writings On The ... read more

Pros: Witty Lyrics, Cool Beats, Slammin Vocals
Cons: Weird Re-mix of Independent Women
Summary: Destiny's Child's 3rd CD delivers pretty much more of what their fans want: funky beats and lots of catchy lyrics to sing along too. Survivor is pretty much all you'd expect of a multi-platnum group and a little extra too.

Pros: Sweet beats, words you can learn....an album on which you'd like more than three songs
Cons: Conflicting views......
Summary: I love my Destiny's Child, and I love ribbing them on their conflicting views because for me, it's all about the beats.
They're "Independent Women", but they want to know "Can you pay their bills...can you pay their telephone bills?"
They're ... read more
