I go back and 4th (

) between Self Titled being her best album and 4 being her best
4 is so good because it's quintessential Beyoncé; it's like her relationship therapy album and she's demonstrated that she knows more about love, loss, and all the elements of being with someone better than any other singer nowadays
but BEYONCÉ is so damn good because it's unlike anything she's ever done, the ****ing nerve she had to have to release something like that, and then the visual story-telling component of the album
she has SUCH big shoes to fill for B6 but if anyone can overcome her own hype, it's Bey
