October 15, 201014 yr Author Just when I'd begun to love Only Girl... this comes along. And blows it out of the water. It's TIMELESS, gorgeous, hugely hooky. Perfect. I can actually see it becoming a challenger for her best song to date. Just perfect.
October 15, 201014 yr I think i prefer this to Only Girl.. :wub: :wub: Can't wait for the album now. :w00t: :D
October 15, 201014 yr Stunning. Looking to be another promising era from RiRi, love all three songs from it so far. Girl can do no wrong!
October 15, 201014 yr OMG. This song is amazing. She's really in her element this time around. I knew this song would be good. But Rihanna always exceeds my exceptions anyway.
October 15, 201014 yr I really like this, much better than 'Only Girl'. The bridge is fantastic and I love Drake, so I like his feature too. I just wish it was a bit more urban, I'm still waiting for this era's 'Hard'!
October 16, 201014 yr 'Te Amo' with tiny elements of 'Rude Boy' thrown in... It's good. Not as good as people make it out to be though... but it's alright. Drake annoys me no end too.
October 16, 201014 yr I really love this - more instant than Only Girl for me. The chorus is stunning. Always like a Drake feature aswell. :)
October 16, 201014 yr Author People are being OTT about Drake. His rap is short and actually very listenable. I think this might be a challenger for my song of the year. Unlike Only Girl it sounds SO fresh and sleek rather than being a generic and recycled Stargate beat (even though this is actually Stargate too).
October 17, 201014 yr Fuck me, this is HOT! :o I love it, wow! :) Much better than the generic "Only Girl"!! Roll on 'LOUD' :D :D
October 17, 201014 yr Loving this :wub: If she keeps this up, the album may do what Rihanna wanted to accomplish - An album that you can listen to from start till finish.
October 18, 201014 yr Good Girl Gone Bad had its fair share of filler... I like this, I don't mind that Drake features but I wish he had less, it feels like it goes on and on in parts. :(
October 18, 201014 yr Author One third of GGGB was filler. The good, listenable kind of filler, but filler nonetheless. Rated R has less but it still has two. To be honest I don't think an album needs to be filler-free necessarily. Obviously it's great if every song is the tits but it can clash and become a little overwhelming. Sometimes it's nice to have a break from the brilliance, a la Say It on GGGB.
October 18, 201014 yr 'Good Girl Gone Bad' only has one "awful" filler, and that's 'Question Existing'. My least favourite Rihanna song. Other than that, I love it from start to finish. Not every track is "perfect" but like Jark said, it doesn't need to be. 'Rated R' doesn't have any awful filler, but it is mostly listenable but wouldn't do as well released as a single etc... Sorta filler. She's improving with each release, and although I'm not particularly bowled over by anything from the 'Loud' era so far, I still think this album will be a brilliant Rihanna album...
October 18, 201014 yr Much prefer it to Only Girl! :wub: Drake my 2nd fave rapper atm (behind Minaj) and RiRi's one of my fave singers so great collab!
October 18, 201014 yr Good Girl only has filler in 'Say It', 'Question Existing' and probably 'Sell Me Candy' (and I love all three). It's definetly her strongest album. I love 'Rated R' as well, but songs like 'Rockstar 101' and 'Stupid In Love' bring it down somewhat. :(
October 18, 201014 yr Author Stupid In Love was such a strange inclusion on Rated R. It sounded like a worse version of Cry which in itself was only a bonus on GGGB. I do like the song (mostly for the Katy lyric) but it's pretty damn boring. On the other hand I get why she included Rockstar 101. It might not be a great song but it's at least bursting with swagger which was what a lot of Rated R was about.
