You, dear listener, may well have staunch Beyoncé, and/or Beyoncé, opinions. Matt does not. Still he ventures on, chatting with Tim about the relative strengths and weaknesses of the Queen’s self-titled album (there are more of one than the other and you can guess which…) and how it functions as a sort of reset in her career, one in which Beyoncé defines Beyoncé for all to hear. Matt looks to other examples of self-titled albums telling us something about how those artists perceive themselves with Bon Iver and Paramore after and in the face of pretty firm narratives.
