so after much of the recent hype has died down, I've been listening to Bey's album alot. I'm wondering which is a better reflection of the artist?

Always felt My Life was MJB's definitive (most vital) work but Mary was her statement of the artist(person) she would become. I think Beyonce's self titled is a much better record but I'm not sure where she goes from here personally and professionally.

Bonus points: but is Beyonce better than My Life? I can't call it.

respect,
