July 27, 201311 yr COADF FTW (though given this is Buzzjack and anything before 2011 is ancient history I'll settle for top 10)
July 27, 201311 yr I just hope the Saturdays take up #29 and #30 :( And please let's have a 0 pointer that would be fab <3
July 27, 201311 yr Not accepting Confessions charting anywhere but the top. Oh and expecting any trace of MAN to be kicked out immediately.
July 27, 201311 yr "The Fame Monster" for the landslide winner? Finding it slightly hard to call, Rihanna should do very well but I don't know which of her three options would have the most overwhelming support.
July 27, 201311 yr "The Fame Monster" for the landslide winner? Finding it slightly hard to call, Rihanna should do very well but I don't know which of her three options would have the most overwhelming support. Loud surely?! It has the hits and good album tracks whilst Good Girl Gone Bad is a bit shit once you look past the four great singles/three other singles.
July 27, 201311 yr The singles make up about half the album though! I'd hope for "Loud" but I know "Rated R" has a fair share of fans.
July 27, 201311 yr Rated R >>> Loud >>>>>> every other Rihanna album Oh and I do think we'll get The Fame Monster winning, which wouldn't be the worst winner but it really is half amazing, half unlistenable shit.
July 27, 201311 yr Rated R >>> Loud >>>>>> every other Rihanna album Yeah this is exactly how i'd rate them too. The Fame Monster would be an incredible winner from my part of course, and probably would have been a shoe-in for the #1 a couple of years ago. Not sure if it will now though.
July 27, 201311 yr Oh and expecting any trace of MAN to be kicked out immediately. Well there are only two left!
July 27, 201311 yr LOUD is a horrendous album and I am entirely convinced that people look past the filler just because of the first three singles. No album with a song like 'Fading' should come anywhere near an all time fave list.

July 27, 201311 yr It's not flaw free by any means (Raining Men and Man Down see to that) but Fading is LOVELY.
July 27, 201311 yr Author It's not flaw free by any means (Raining Men and Man Down see to that) but Fading is LOVELY. Man Down is wonderful <3 That and Only Girl are clear 11/10 moments. The only tracks I don't love on Loud are Skin , which is still a 7.5/10 probably, it's just a bit out of place and would sound better on Rated R and also Fading, which is also a 7 or 7.5/10 but is a bit dull.
July 27, 201311 yr I've never been down for URBAN Rihanna (or anyone for that matter, really) so the more pop leaning ballads and midtempo's are right up my street. I know it gets a lot of hate but California King Bed is one of my very favourite RiRi tracks, featuring her best vocal performance to boot.
July 27, 201311 yr 'Fading' isn't unpleasant or anything, but it's so obviously bland and it's so clear it took all of two minutes to create that it just doesn't sound like a song on an "alltime great" album. LOUD is a "singles and filler" album through and through.

I know it gets a lot of hate but California King Bed is one of my very favourite RiRi tracks, featuring her best vocal performance to boot. CKB would actually be one of my RiRi tracks too - probably just outside the top 5. It changes all the time but: 01 Unfaithful 02 Only Girl (In The World) 03 Disturbia 04 Man Down 05 Diamonds
July 27, 201311 yr Good Girl Gone Bad is my fav Rihanna Album, I love Breaking Dishes, and of course Umberella Edited July 27, 201311 yr by cameron
July 27, 201311 yr Could you explain how? It has songs designed to be singles, and songs designed to fill space. Hence "singles and filler".
