The two most acclaimed R&B albums of each year (2012 and 2013). Both experiment with the flawless PBR&B genre, dabble into the deeper contexts of each artist's life, and caused HUGE waves of social media press with its release.
The question is, which one of these amazing releases is better?
Thinking Bout You vs. Pretty Hurts
Sierra Leone vs. Haunted
Sweet Life vs. Drunk In Love
Super Rich Kids vs. Blow
Pilot Jones vs. No Angel
Crack Rock vs. Partition
Pyramids vs. Jealous
Lost vs. Rocket
Monks vs. Mine
Bad Religion vs. XO
Pink Matter vs. Flawless
Forrest Gump vs. Superpower
End/Golden Girl vs. Heaven vs. Blue
BEYONCE' is a career-redefining album by a pop/R&B icon
Channel Orange was the major-label studio debut of a lesser-known up and coming talent.
To me, both albums are incredible, but you listen to them differently.
I guess if I had to choose, Channel Orange, because Frank came up with the concept, wrote and composed those songs on piano by himself, and then enlisted the support of producers to piece the tracks together.

I honestly think they're nearly identical in quality. Both are just SO good. I think just for the sake of the poll though, I'll select Channel Orange. It's been nearly a year and a half and I still can constantly listen to it.
Aww man. This is gonna be hard, but I'll give it a try:

Pretty easy. Beyonce is cute, but it has too many weak tracks. Channel Orange is on a whole other level.
