    Album Review: Rihanna – ‘Talk That Talk’

    Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Album Review,Rihanna

    Journalists unavoidably encounter moments in their careers where they are forced report about inexplicable tragedies. From the demolition caused by Hurricane Katrina to the shocking terrorist attacks of 9/11, we are required to help our societies to understand the carnage that plagues our world. Yet, today we are faced with a new disaster; a horrible development that has marred the state of popular culture; an event that  will forever be remembered as ‘Talk That Talk’.

    Presented as the sixth studio album from Rihanna in as many years, ‘Talk That Talk’ is one of the worst pieces of recorded music to be issued in 2011. In fact, it is a prime example of unadulterated, pornographic garbage.

    Comprising nonsensical repetition and sexual references on almost every track, Rihanna has proven herself to be nothing more than a peddler of propaganda. Indeed, after claiming that she had ditched her high fashion garb and bright hair colours so that people would focus on her artistry and not classify her as a gimmick, Rihanna has utilised the most popular gimmick of all – selling sex.

    Songs such as the dreadful ‘Watch N Learn’ and the album’s second single, ‘You Da One’, showcased Rihanna lazily chanting the the lyrics in an almost continuos loop. Shockingly, both tunes were composed by five writers, including Rihanna, yet none of them had the sense or the motivation to purchase a thesaurus so that listeners would not be subjected to the same words repeated over fifty times within three-minute periods.

    However, the absurdity did not end with those tracks. On one of the most jarring songs on ‘Talk That Talk, the raunchy ‘Birthday Cake’, Rihanna basically recreated Big Sean’s current hit ‘Dance (A$$)’ over a clap-driven beat that sounded almost identical to his tune yet ended after only a minute. Still, perhaps ‘Birthday Cake’ was not so disruptive after all because the rest of the LP had very little cohesion or discernable flow. Really, in typical Rihanna fashion, it is just a collection of singles.

    Undoubtedly, the most sexually charged record on ‘Talk That Talk’ was ‘Cockiness (Love It)’. Strangely, though, while this track perfectly exemplified the adult sound of the album with the opening lyrics “suck my cockiness, lick my persuasion,” its production was its most endearing quality.

    When she wasn’t forcing us to think about her obviously busy sex life, however, Rihanna was actually trying to sing. The songs ‘Farewell’ and ‘Drunk on Love’ demonstrated that her vigorous vocal training sessions via Skype with her vocal coach did result in some improvement of her vocal ability.

    On the other hand, while her voice had progressed enough so that it didn’t encourage the urge to uninstall iTunes, there were some songs that would have been performed better by other artists. For instance, ‘We All Want Love’ could easily have been included on Jessie J’s ‘Who You Are’ album and sung with far greater prowess.

    Finally, we had the song ‘Roc Me Out’. Although it was quite forgettable to say the least, it would be a glaring oversight if any reviewer of this album ignored the fact that Rihanna, Ester Dean, StarGate and Rob Swire shamelessly recycled ‘Rude Boy’ from ‘Rated R’ in a blatant attempt to score another airplay hit. That was musical cannibalism at it’s worst.

    Ultimately, Rihanna has put forward yet another collection of singles with ‘Talk That Talk’. Rather than striving to add depth to her shallow catalogue of hits, she opted to push the boundaries of her panty line instead of the narrow limits of her artistry. Keep talking that talk while you can Rihanna because when your looks begin to fade nobody will listen.

    Standout tracks: ‘Farewell’ and ‘Cockiness (Love It)’

    Weakest track: ‘Watch N Learn’

    Possible singles: ‘Talk That Talk (Ft. Jay-Z)’, ‘Where Have You Been’, ‘Roc Me Out’ and ‘Drunk on Love’

    • Brea

      LMFAOO the first paragraph tho

    • Destined

      Well written indeed.

    • BeyRiGariah

      LAAAAAAAAAAME review.

    • http://www.RomeosCorner.net Romeo

      So True…all of it lol smh

    • :)

      LMFAOOOOOOOO.

    • J

      Trent, you spoke nothing but the truth!

    • Oiiiii Jasmine

      omgggg i thought i was yhe only one…im not impressed by this album at all…all these blogs giving it positive reviews..puh-lease. rihanna won me me over with Loud and lost me with Talk that Talk. well written trent (as always)

    • jasmine

      i couldn’t agree more. i listened to TTT and i was disappointed. its all sex. and yes, we all like sex as much as the next person but if it was for sex what would she sing about? i think she could’ve done better

    • DASZIT

      LOL!

    • @iHateAshley_

      Man this review is definitely on point. Everyone keeps saying how amazing this album is but I disagree. It lacks depth. For someone who.claims they aren’t really sexual thats all I heard on this album. I liked Rated R. She should go back to formulas like that because this shit here…

    • Alexia

      LMAO at the first paragraph… I’m weak. Guess me and the album have something in common *rolls in the deep*

    • MechanicalPenguin

      Trent, you did it again. I don’t hate Rihanna, I don’t even dislike all of her music. But your insight on what am artist should truly be is a wake up call to everyone that pretbeds someone with a catchy song should be considered any type of “legend” in the music world. Idc how many records she breaks with her catchy singles, she is definitely, (as I’ve heard her described before) a one-hit-wonder that just won’t go away. Thanks Trent for not following the masses and always speaking the truth!

    • okkk

      pure filler and disposable. I really dont understand her “shine”

    • lisa

      welp…..did he lie lmfaoooooooooooo

    • SG

      Pornographic? Hardly…Madonna, Janet Jackson, and Mariah Carey were selling sex long before Rihanna. Sex is what sells. J Lo shakes her ass against Pitbull at the AMAs and is instantly recognized.

      To say that Rihanna is ‘selling sex’ and that Mariah Carey – who blatantly released ‘Touch My Body’ – or Janet Jackson – let’s not forget ‘Strawberry Love’ or ‘All Nite (Don’t Stop)’ – are not is hypocritical.

      There is no shock value about this album, every single bit of it was expected. Nothing about this album is particularly vulgar or stands out as oversexed. Especially when you look at what Madonna did with ‘Erotica’ or what Janet did with ‘The Velvet Rope.’

    • SG

      Strawberry Bounce **

    • @Che_Pertillo

      I have to agree. There isn’t one song by her that I liked, and all of her other albums, I could at least find one. smh I wish she would step out side the box she has made for herself.

    • http://www.ratedrnb.com K.D.

      Trent, you took the words right out of my mouth. “Talk That Talk” is garbage. It’s just a collection of singles and fillers. She would have been better off re-releasing LOUD with new songs.

    • DRB

      DEAD at the first paragraph!

    • KendallJamaal

      Well, well written. This was an atrocious attempt at artistry, seriously. & if its to be considered R&B, that’s a travesty. This is bad. I’ve gotten better from Ciara. While I’ve actually crowned Rihanna, “Queen Basic,” I got better from Ciara’s, ‘Basic Instinct”

    • SG

      Also, it was relatively tasteless and pointless to use Hurricane Katrina and 9/11 as talking points…exactly how does this relate to anything? I understand metaphors in jest, but exactly how are Katrina or 9/11 anything to joke about?

      I want to respect you as a blogger, but find it hard to do after such an erroneous introductory paragraph.

    • support good music not trash party

      Talk that Talk….sad day in music history. no a legend didnt pass, an artist decided to insult our intelligence and hearing by putting out an album full of chants. Pops in my Jessie J cd…im not here for this nonsense

    • Tracie

      And to think Talk that Talk is outselling Mary J?!!! I tried to listen to the snippets and even the snippets of this album sound like hash made of refried Rated R and microwaved LOUD tunes….in other words not appetizing. I got a headache. I guess we just gotta let it run it’s course.

    • WonderLand19

      Pretty spot on. Watch N Learn was too much. Did not like it. I like Cockiness.
      The problem with this album is that there is no growth or depth. She seriously needs to take 2 years off and experience life. Right now her perception of life is quick sex in hotal rooms. she needs to find who she IS as an artist instead of just wanting to be the next Madonna. She needs to take care of her health too. Smoking and taking drugs is not cool and will lead to an early death. She needs to take care of her voice and hire a proper vocal coach.
      If RihannaNavy are soo loyal and amazing then Rihanna can afford to take a break. she can still work during her 2 years off. Do some acting. The main thing is that she betters her craft. She could be more than a Gimmink if she gives herself a chance.
      P.S. RihannaNavy should be ashamed of themselves. RihannaNavy are just a bunch of yes men. wouldn’t you want your Fav too be the best and better themselves? Come on!

    • Alexia

      @BeyRiGariah I think you spelt album wrong LMAO

    • http://certified-fame.tumblr.com Fuck_The_Haters

      LMFAO!! Trent! You are crazy! ROFL!! I know it made some bleed somethin serious! I feel bad for those who actually bought that trash.

    • support good music not trash party

      SG sit ur ass down Talk that Talk was NOT a good album and u know it. to say Mariah sells sex because of ‘Touch my body’ is HILarious!! Shall i list her previous si ngles for u? she sings about love not getting laid every seconnd. have a seat sir/ma’am

    • Bee

      hmm whatever. It’s RIHANNA. No one honestly really expects ‘that’ much anyway.

      Note: I’m not trying to be ‘shady’ but it’s true. Yes, I do enjoy some of Rihanna’s songs, but no one listens to her music expecting life-changing, profound lyrics or vocals/musicality that rival Mariah Carey – just catchy, superficial pop music. With that said, a person can only take so much… If this album is really that horrid, people will soon start to reject the Rihanna product line courtesy of the IDJ manufacturing plant.

    • sara

      Lmao!great review, i couldn’t have said it better!!!!!!!

    • http://www.ratedrnb.com K.D.

      Talk That Talk is the perfect title for the album. Rihanna literally talks/chants her way through the album. She needs to take her music more seriously and put more effort into her projects. TTT was rushed and it has no concept whatsoever.

    • The Affair

      I am absolutely floored by this album review. This is by far the most honest album review I have read yet. Sadly my favorite track got barely a mention and that’s “Where Have You Been” which I think sounds like an homage to 1994 era Ace of Base. Brace yourself Trent, she’s making Birthday Cake a full song at the request of her fans.

    • Leo

      Just waiting for the Rihanna train to rwach its final destination, so tired of this non singing bitch

    • lifefromthefarside

      That was the worst garbage I ever allowed myself to listen to. I skipped through every song. NOT 1 of them gave me slow down and listen. Trent is being nice because she’s one happy meal from losing the looks some thinks she has. lol

    • almostpia

      On point like a mugg. Much of thoae who like Rihanna refer to her looks and personality, not artistry. There are a handful of songs I like by her but people have to be willing to call a spade a spade with her.

    • ahahahhahhaaha!

      To the fool that mentioned MC…. “Touch my Body” was just one single on an album. She didn’t have 6 or 7 songs talking about sex. SN: Lets not forget that MC wirtes inspirational songs with meaning and emotion, unlike Rihanna who has an entire catalog based on nothing,but sex(- Rated R).

    • Kate

      I’ve never been a fan of Rihanna as an artist and I never will be. I became a fan of SOME of her music in 2007 because I am a fan of all of the singers/songwriters and producers who made Good Girl Gone Bad what it was. Those people saved her career with that album and she’ll never be able to top it. Rated R was a decent album too. LOUD was just OKAY and Talk That Talk is rushed garbage. She really should stop force-feeding us and go COMPLETELY away for a while to grow and come up with something new because this album is a bunch of sexual songs thrown together. Releasing an album every year since your debut can never be good, especially if you lack talent already.

    • http://youtube.com/thisISmartinJR thisISmartinJR

      damnnnn! this review is HARSH lmaooo!

    • NI

      Well D**n! Don’t spare anyone’s feelings. I guessflect its time fir a new Gimmick. :)

    • Keesha

      Well, it’s been quite obvious for like the past three years that Rih has been trying to make as much money as she possibly can, because she knows that this thing that she has going won’t last forever. I mean, even people with talent fade out eventually and the only reason why she is still this popular is because of the day and age that we live in today. Overall, our society accepts mediocrity and crap, especially in the entertainment industry.

    • Ugh

      -I love Roc Me Out and Cockiness…lol RMO could be a single.
      -Birthday Cake is the weakest song (if you would call it a song) in my opinion. cake, cake, cake, cake ♫ – seriously WTF?
      -Drunk on Love – I feel so sorry for her straining her voice on this track. She does not have the vocal range for it.

      the album isnt that bad but she could’ve waited until next year to release something new. this is what you get when you rush things. empty lyrics and a medicore album.

    • Keesha

      And I see so many people commenting on here saying that this review is harsh, but really (aside from the 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina comparisons) it’s the TRUTH. We as a society are so soft and weak and we only want to hear the truth when we personally agree with it, but to be quite honest, is hasn’t and will NEVER help us. We need more people telling the truth in this society with EVERYTHING (not just music) instead of sugarcoating everything or just flat out lying.

    • http://twitter.com/jordaniewis Jordan

      I think she should have just taken the singles off of this one and re-released LOUD for the holiday season. It had potential for another single, since most of them did so well!

      All of her other eras seem to have had purpose and themes, but this one is just purely rushed. So is the music. Birthday Cake is one of the biggest upsets that I have ever experienced on an album before lol.

    • OnlyMiklo

      *slow claps* Bravo Trent you have done exactly what I thought you would do…. Write a cohesive work of art that shows your Thesaurus has been put to work. A mere soliloquy in which he practices his writing techniques out on fools like someof you believers of slander and below average readers to see just how stupid you are. He said and has said several times that this is a collection of singles….. BY GOLLY he’s smart…something also known as an album. He plays you for fools and you follow right along like ha this isn’t an album…yet you sit at home trying to make a masterpiece of your journals in which no one reads or cares more for than you. I commend Trent… This will someday become a real high class website but it has to start somewhere and that somewhere is gaining views by writing what heknows you idiots will gobble up. This album mos definitely is a stepping stone in the growth direction for rihanna…it shows that there are different levels of maturity. Right now all she (and Trent) can think about is Dick…reasons why she writes about it and he tweets about it so often…Their in their 20s and that’s all they can think about… When she gets 30 and she’s still singing about fukkin then we have an issue. Now at 23 that’s all of us want to do… So if she wants to sing about it fine….I’m no one to down her about it like trent… However again he’s tryna make The Lava Lizard like Rap-Up some day…. They don’t have to write a review that talks trash… They pull professionals writings and put it on their website without losing any integrity. I do love the fact that Trent will stick to his guns… I don’t ever expect for him to give Rihanna more than a few props here and there. I give this review a 3 of 4 because he went for what he knows best… The juggular.

    • :D

      @OnlyMiklo WTF I have never seen someone actually REVIEW a review Lmao!! I AM DYING HERE

    • Ty

      lmfaoooo.. yo but my fav songs are actually watch n learn and cockiness..i swearrr this is her worst album

    • Naomi

      Well written, Mr. Trent!

    • Ariana

      LMFAO Yassssssssss Trent!
      This post is a mess, Rihanna should know better at this point of her career. She should be making memorable music, something that she could feel proud of, not this garbage.
      A pity, girl has potential but she’s too busy trying to get as many #1′s as possible (not on the album charts of course)
      Byeee

    • olivia

      lmao did he really just review a album review 1st time ever hearing of such back to the subject at hand i don’t ever expect much from rihanna just cute catchy songs so i liked the album more than loud but in no way does it compare to gggd or rated r imo but i still like it not love it

    • Theman

      Rihanna can do what she wants even if she was 3 0 ……….. Thats still youthful. That makes no sense. Trent you do post alot of good stuff but you did kinda go overboard… It’s like anything Rihanna you have an issue with. You wrote a whole novel. Was it that serious…

    • NKE

      i couldn’t have said it any better. only thing i didn’t agree with is watch n learn that is my song everything else should be buried

    • OnlyMiklo

      yes I did review an album review because clearly he talks trash but we know that it comes from a deeper place and I find it funny that everyone is piggy backing off what he said because they didnt take the time to look the words up in the dictionary themselves. lol

    • DOMOdotSCORE

      I kind of like Watch N Learn (don’t judge me). But honestly Rihanna can do better than what she’s doing. Her label throws currency at her so there is no excuse for her devolution and laziness. She needs to step away from Ester Dean (she is constantly recycling her stuff), The-Dream (he keeps his better music for himself and Beyonce), & Stargate (all the beats are the same) and she needs to work with someone new. They give her the most simple and repetitive songs instead of giving her songs that she, being 6 years deep in the game, should be singing. There are many fresh songwriters and producers who actually can give her the music that we all know that she can do. I think that she needs some non-delusional people around her who will be honest and let her know that what she is doing is not as excellent as her current team make her believe. Rihanna and everyone involved need to take a break because obviously they are so creatively drained that they are recycling quite heavily. I like Rihanna and I have all her albums but she needs to take time and actually care about what she will be known for because right now all she is known for is sex and more sex. If I was her, I’d be upset at being known for songs like S&M and What’s my Name. Although selling sex has been around for a long, some people have learned to find a balance between sexual and substantive music. For instance Janet Jackson has been selling sex for her entire career but she also gives us songs like Together Again, Let’s Wait a While, Rhythm Nation, Miss you Much and so on and so forth. That’s why she’s a Legend/ Icon. She has a balance, maybe not so much now but still. I really want Rihanna to go back to the sounds of Music of the Sun and A Girl Like Me because those 2 albums are her strongest (in the sense of cohesion and lyrically). There is no reason for her albums to get worse as the years go by. I want so much for her and it’s shameful that I care more about her legacy than she does. I wish she was serious about not being a gimmick because I would be so proud of her. But until then I will go on and criticize her.

    • LALA

      This seems to be the site where all the Rihanna Antagonist are at. #SMH This review is not professional review from the sense of the first paragraph. Why compare a tragedy that affected and killed millions of ppl to a CD! Who does that! This album deserved a better rating. If you consider it a tragedy, why not give it a 1 or an 0. This album was constructed well and has many future hits. Now why don’t you go and listen to your adele CD #Predictable

    • KD

      In Rihanna’s defense “Fool In Love” is FLAWLESS…possibly one of her deepest songs alongside “Russian Roulette”

    • Americanboi

      The only people who like this album are the Rihanna STANS. Because Stans are blinded by anything their favorite artist can do. I love Rihanna. I think she gives us great music accompanied by great visuals. She sucks live..but not everyone will be Beyonce. i understand that. Still, she gives me what i need…great pop music. And her attitude is awesome.

      With all that being said, this album was complete trash. It sounded rushed, and like Trent said, its basically audio porn. And being nasty/vulgar does not translate into good music all the time. Madonna can do that, because she knows how. Same goes for Janet Jackson. Even Beyonce’s video phone was nasty…but all this “i love it when u eat it, lick my cockiness suck my persuasion” like how LAME is that? Like…i was SO disappointed. I expected her to do way better.

    • Thomas

      Wow Trent, I didnt know someone could have you so pressed and pissed. Damn….I guess it sucks to be you since she’s still successful despite your stupid opinion.

    • Tia

      Excellent review.Well written .

    • Lala

      Great review

    • http://www.facebook.com/rory.maynor rory

      Rihanna knows her lane, she knows her fanbase. So she sticks with that. I don’t see what’s wrong an artist staying her lane. People keep saying they like Rated R era but it only sold 3 million copies worldwide. LOUD sold 6 million and is still selling. So i have no problem with her sticking to what she does best and consistently

    • RoMeONyC

      I think this is a bit overboard! Seriously, from first listening to the album straight through, it was shocking and pleasing. I feel like this is the direction “Loud” was supposed to be taken. She is exploring and improving and its refreshingly new– sounds like maturity from her last project. Its in her field and has definetly hit potential coming off her success of “Loud”.

    • MoniSOChill

      “Oh mama mama mama Trent just shot your fav down!!”……”In front of a big ol’ crowd”

      LMAOO!! This review was too funny Trent! You really are too much.

      Rihtards calm the fuck down. Everyone knows Trent doesn’t like and he has never been shy about it so don’t act surprised! Aside from the obvious sarcasm and his legendary shade, he was DEAD ON! This album is TRASH! bunch of sex filled, catchy beats and shitty vague lyrics. Rihanna as a six year veteran and supposed ‘superstar’ should be ashamed of herself This is NOT her best album and you know it! This album was rushed and full of a few throw away hits and weak album fillers.

    • Me Damnit!!

      LMAOO!! This review was too funny Trent! You really are too much. I almost died laughing reading this!!

This album is TRASH! bunch of sex filled, catchy beats and shitty vague lyrics. A Rihanna as a six year veteran and supposed ‘superstar’ should be ashamed of herself for releasing such garbage and her stans should be embarassed and ashamed for supporting such garbage! She should have just taken some time off and given herself some time to grow as an artist and release an album in a year or so but she is too concerned with getting shitty No. 1 singles.

      This is NOT her best album and you know it! This album was rushed and full of a few throw away hits and weak album fillers. Embrace the TRUTH!!

    • SuckMyCockiness

      Fucking island 3rd world Faggot to compared Rihanna’s career to 911 and Katrina. You are a poor punk piece of trash. You talking shit about Rihanna won’t make you get more dick in your ass nor will it make you rich or relevant. So keep on hating your cum guzzler while Rihanna make millions… Yes Rebelle Fleur made 80 million in 2011.. Now run tell that loose anus cock sucker

    • That Cranberry Sauce

      ^ Trent is trash, but you have Suck My C*ck as a screen name and you’re calling someone a f*ggot… common sense is obviously lost here.

      And bitch, whoo fucking hoo. Anybody can sell a fucking perfume bottle. Anyone has! Where the album sales at?

    • Bitchie

      Do you really think Rihanna really cares about first week sales? The Album is going to sell anyway. I think people are forgetting her job: which is to make music…PERIOD!!! Ya’ll are making the artist MORE important than the music…it’s simple: if you like the music buy it, if you don’t like the music don’t buy it…simple isn’t it? Who wants to listen to the same songs play on the radio, hear the same rap/pop artist. Can someone answer my question? Give me a answer

    • Liz

      I think this review is so right! All these blogs giving it positive reviews indeed, and I couldn’t really understand that. I love Rihanna, I think Loud was her best work ever. But this is really not.. The songs never get really deep or interesting, okay maybe We All Want Love and We Found Love get. But that’s it.. this album will never produce as many good hit songs like Loud. Too much sex related songs on it, Rihanna really just needs to take a year of. Experience and enjoy life and then work and write on an album very slowly.. and take her time. She said on the Ellen show herself that she doesnt’t have any time for herself and she really wants time of to do nothing. So why not take that time?

    • Liz

      And you know, people reaaaally get tired of the same persons on tv/radio all the time. You need to take a break sometimes. All big artists take a year off or longer, just to take a break so that they can concentrate, after that, on their music.
