Keys: album review, rihanna
- the real xoxo
  
  This sounds even worse than TTT – uninspired, rushed and forgettable.
  - ksw
    
    chile, what snippets were you listening too
    
    the real xoxo
    
    lets not act as if you are gonna still be listening to this is 3 months time.
    
    ksw
    
    let’s not act like you aren’t an undercover Rihanna stan either
- Anna
  
  i really like it! Even though i only heard snippets i can definitely say it is better than Talk that Talk
- China
  
  She came hard with this…. You can’t deny her this Album!
- Lisa
  
  I’ll wait to hear the entire album, but so far it sounds like it will be better than TTT
- CheReiHino
  
  “Pour It Up” sounds like “Bands a make her dance”. I like what I heard so far.
- Girrrl
  
  Rih showed growth with GGGB and RR. This album sounds like it will be a hot mix of genres.
- Benron (King Of The Fucking Navy)
  
  AMAZING!
- Noelle
  
  Ehh..sounds like a mess. I, actually, like some of Rihanna’s songs…but this sounds rushed, and a bunch of songs sound like B-sides. The only ones that I liked were Stay (seems like the best one), What Now, and no surprise the Emeli Sande written bonus track Half of Me…the rest is blah…at least from the snippets.

  complete and utter garbage.
- Nobody
  
  She’s channeling Chris Brown on Pour It Up looooooool I can’t. I love Stay and What Now! Nobodies Business was kinda underwhelming but that’s just my opinion…. I’ll wait till the full album is released but it’s looking like Talk This Talk will be the better album of the two.
- MmmHmm
  
  THOSE LONG STRETCHED OUT VOCALS OR WHATEVER SHE’S YELLING OUT ON “NUMB” ARE SO ANNOYING! I DONT KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT “JUM” AND HOW SHE SAMPLED GINUWINEs “PONY” I NEED TO HEAR THE FULL SONG…. “STAY” I LOVING…”NOBODIES BUSINESS” IS COOL…SONG 11 I LOVE…AND DIAMONS OF COURSE GOOD, THE REST I DONT CARE FOR LOL
- LOL
  
  On a whole I think it’s terrible. I think it was ‘Pour It’ that sounded like trap music? Leave it alone.
  
  But I am SOLD for ‘No Love Allowed’ and ‘Get It Over With’ sounds cool. I like the sample in ‘Jump’, thats about it.
- Truthteller
  
  I like what I hear so far. I like that she’s incorporating different sounds and genres. Yess Rihanna.
- UnApologetic
  
  Noelle and Cynthia stay mad. If Trent said it was garbage u all would believe but he gave her props which is rightly due and you mofos had to hate.. Tuh #staymad
- Joe
  
  I love it -she shocked me big time

  I don’t expect her to apologize for this TRASH. It sounds like skrillex and a karaoke singer had a baby.
- Ugh
  
  i don’t know what Trent is talking about when he said she got it right. the album sounds okay snippetwise.
  The cursing in the songs are unnecessary and tacky especially ‘Fresh out the runway’. what in the ratchet hell?
  i love Jump and Nobodies business because she sampled Genuwine’s ‘Pony’ and MJ ‘The way u make me feel’. Jump is definitely a hit in my opinion.
  sounds better than TTT for sure
- Keyshia
  
  Cute but What Now hurts my ears. I think im might like this album.
- MC
  
  I only liked Love without Tragedy/Mother Mary, Lost in Paradise, and No love allowed so far…
- Sarah
  
  what now and stay are the only ones I like.
- larry
  
  Pour it up sounds like a geting high tune! LOVED the likkle run she did in it
  Rahhhh serious dubstep with Jump!
  What Now sounds good, nice vocals der!
  Nobody Business is a VIBE!!
  Love Without Tragedy/Mother Mary sounded nice
  No Love Allowed>>>>>
  No Love Allowed is really good!
  Wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too many club tunes for this to EVER be classed as a R&B album! They need to respect music please! She still sounds VVV nasal tho! Sounds like a good album tho!
  - bob
    
    cos she not rnb period she pop she said herself she wanna be black madonna

  As once a fan of Rihanna music I haven’t been impressed since RatedR. Maybe a song here and there. Same with ” unapologetic ” I heard maybe 2 songs I would like . However it sound exactly like Rihanna. Something she can finger bang herself to on stage. Something she can curse and act like a rapper to when she’s almost 25. I don’t get unapologetic from this. I get Rihanna need to sit down, act like a lady and grow up
- MuzikManiack
  
  I haven’t bought a Rihanna album since Rated R, but I might buy this one. It sounds really good!
- Whoops
  
  Can’t wait until this leaks, ima download it!
  - Whoops
    
    Omg me too! I can’t wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- domo
  
  I was kinda feeling the lil RnB vibe until “Right Now” ugh.
- CD
  
  Rihanna only became Rihanna with Rated R before that she was the run of the mill pop tart. RR, LOUD and TTT are all flawless.
- DOMOdotSCORE
  
  It’s actually not that bad, obviously I can’t cosign it fully and confidently because I haven’t heard the full songs. It starts sounding pretty good from What Now to the end. Numb and Jump are cute. I wish Future wasn’t included on Loveeee Song, I can’t stand to listen to him, boy raps like he has something heavy in his mouth.
- pineapple
  
  “get it over with” is a BIG STYYYYYYYYLE
  
  BAP BAP BAP BIG TUUUUUUNE
  
  PULLLLLLLLL UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!
- jay
  
  the album sounds decent but i won’t be buying it lol i will def download it when it leaks tho, probably next week
- Lamb
  
  Its pretty good!! I loved ‘Nobody’s Business’!!!! and liked ‘Love Without Tragedy’ ‘Right Now’, ‘Get It Over With’ and ‘No Love Aloud’
- giannis
  
  RATED R 2.0??? NICE RIHANNA U ROC!!!!
- thrman
  
  These snippets sound good. A certain someone didn’t write up anything because of that lol.

  I’m guessing that THE DREAM did Fresh Out the Runway…Listen to “Animalistic” by Nivea…back in 2006. It sounds nearly the same. I’m so shocked that he’s retracting his sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EwhdCmLMFQ
- BitchitsBlake
  
  Im getting a edgier gritty “Loud” feel from these songs. Im pretty sure i’ll like it
- LK
  
  Anybody know where I can get the snippets? Video got taken down….
- cajunbajan
  
  I dont know how i feel about this yet..its just snippets, there are a few standout tracks. Is it just me…i find Rihanna sounds like 10 different people on this album, but i gotta hear the full version..
- Tim
  
  I think this should have been the follow-up of the Loud album which is flawless in my opinion, not Talk That Talk. Right Now is S&M 2.0, and even better! This album is showing Rihanna’s artistic growth since Rated R and Loud, even though Loud lacked some artistic growth. Unapologetic is going to be big, all it needs is good management and single choices.
- BlairWaldorf2013
  
  I know a lot of people don’t want to hear this BUT…RiRi said I can do a mid-tempo album too. Just like another DIVA we all know and love. Now granted it doesn’t have the same vocal power but she explores the different genres/samples more successfully IMO. I think she may ACTUALLY have a #1 US album on her hands. It’s fresh, old school, hood, and cheeky all at the same time.
