BuzzJack Music Forum _ Rihanna _ 5 Years of 'Talk That Talk'

Posted by: Andrew. 8th November 2016, 05:32 PM

In a few weeks it'll have been 5 years' since Rihanna released 'Talk That Talk'. What are your opinions on the album? Do you still listen to it now?

I said during the AFSC selection process that this was one of her worst albums, but looking back again on some of the tracks I'd say it was better than Unapologetic and not far off from GGGB tbh. I remember LOVING this at the time but growing tired of it pretty quickly, then getting back into some of it (then repeat).

Highlights for me are Birthday Cake, Red Lipstick and the title track

Personally found this album rather rushed and didn't have the same spark the previous 3 had (GGGB, RR & Loud), but this is better than 'Unapologetic' which I found a slog to get through, apart from a few gems. This album does have some great songs such as 'We Found Love', 'Where Have You Been' & 'Talk That Talk', the latter of which should have been given a video and a better push, and could have worked better as the 2nd single instead of the dire 'You Da One', which I never liked and lacked that special something.
