I'd much rather Pour It Up than Nobody's Business, but Stay even more!

Talk That Talk i've come to realise is actually seriously underrated, the first half at least is great. This however... no.

Oh, I do agree. It gets far too much stick, pretty much all of the tracks on there are very enjoyable, I've gotten tired of Cockiness and Birthday Cake is awful but otherwise it feels a lot more cohesive and summery than this (particularly that trio of WHYB/WFL/TTT *.*) albeit less absolute standouts. Which is a good sign that the weaker tracks on here will grow for me at least.

Talk That Talk really grew on me in the end, admittedly it's not Loud or Rated R but I think it's just because since GGGB she's been spot on every time albums wise that it's seen as not so good. We Found Love, Where Have You Been, Farewell and shamefully Birthday Cake are all fantastic, whereas Unapologetic only really has Diamonds, Stay and Love Without Tragedy of that level. I prefer TTT to Unapologetic definitely.

 

Loud >> Rated R >>> Good Girl Gone Bad >>>> Talk That Talk >>> Unapologetic >> A Girl Like Me >>>>>>> Music Of The Sun

 

She doesn't have a bad album to her name though.

"Rated R" is completely overated by Rihanna fans. There are actually only 6 good tracks on it.

It's just all about Love Without Tragedy atm. I hope she releases it and does a single version without Mother Mary on, I do like it but LWT is far superior and it seems completely pointless to put the two songs together as one.

Discounting her first two albums because I haven't heard them properly, I'd say:

 

Rated R >> Loud >> Unapologetic > Good Girl Gone Bad >>>> Talk That Talk

 

I do like all of them though.

I've come to realise that Rated R is RiRi's best album. Can't say it's an amazing album though - the bitch is clearly a 'single' artist. And Unapologetic is her weakest one yet (not counting the first two of course).

Of the last 3, because they're the only 3 I've listened to properly:

 

Loud>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Unapologetic>Talk That Talk

ATM I'm really liking Phresh Out The Runway; it's my 'getting pumped' song.

I've decided 'Love Without Tragedy' is one of the best things she has ever recorded, it's simply beautiful!

I got this yesterday as a gift even though i'm not a big Rihanna fan, is this album any good? Or is it just another Loud (obvious hits and complete filler tracks?)

Finally got around to buying this..

 

My ranking:

05 Phresh Out the Runway

09 Diamonds

08 Numb feat. Eminem

08 Pour it Up

08 Loveeeeeee Song feat. Future

08 Jump

06 Right Now feat. David Guetta

07 What Now

10 Stay feat. Mikky Ekko

06 Nobody's Business feat. Chris Brown

09 Love Without Tragedy/Mother Mary

07 Get it Over With

07 No Love Allowed

08 Lost in Paradise

 

Some please teach her how to say "business"

Guess I'm the only one that actually likes how they say "Business"? ;)

Yes :lol:

 

Not a fan of the song in general though. I think that makes it worse for me

I thought she was trying to do it the same was as Michael Jackson does in 'The Way You Make Me Feel'?

I had to come in to say that I think her ballad singing has improved a lot. Stay is much more tolerable than I expected. I think it's the first ballad of hers that didn't irritate me because of the vocals.

mother mary >>>>>>>>> love without tragedy SO BAD

mother mary >>>>>>>>> love without tragedy SO BAD

 

uh naaaaa

 

but - to be perfectly honest - they're both in the albums top 5. it astounds me that they aren't separate tracks!!!

I still haven't listened to this album! I think i'm starting to lose interest in her tbh :(
