This album is ***Flawless in it's own right, no need to compare it to any other album. People would love and appreciate the music so much more if they weren't always trying to pin it against other material.
Personally though, if I were to answer the thread question, to me this is the best album in Pop music since Lana Del Rey's "Born to Die".
To say it's the best would be an opinion because IMO there's been way more POP albums better than BEYONCÉ hell she's even done better, but it's still a phenomenal album definitely one of the best to arise from the new era
No, I am Sasha fierce is miles better, plus I could name a bunch more
Realizing that everyone has their own opinions, I still find it surprising when people say this. IASF was great but I found it suffered from some very filler-esque tracks while also being a bit bland overall.
