Consideration >>>>>

ugh she might be a bitch but natalia know how to WRITE A F*CKING SONG!! kiss it better is holy

It's all well and good we got the album but Rihanna NEEDS to break away from TIDAL they are literally killing her career and I can't watch it anymore

 

Kiss It Better & Consideration & Close To You & Work >

The album is out there! It was briefly released on TIDAL and someone snatched it

 

 

LOL MESS!!

 

Also I'm not sure a 'cultural hit' even exists...

 

"Does ANTI stand for anti quality?"

 

:lol:

Kiss it better is quite good actually, still subpar for RiRi but about 5000x better than anything else this era

Kiss it Better sounds like an unreleased demo track for an also-ran 80s rnb album.

 

And Natalia Kills of X Factor shame fame??

CONSIDERATION HAS ALREADY SLAIN ME

First listen rate:

 

10 Consideration

05 James Joint

09 Kiss It Better

08.5 Work

08 Desperado

06 Woo

06 Needed Me

05 Yeah I Said It

04 Same Ol' Mistakes

08.5 Never Ending

09.5 Love On The Brain

08Higher

09 Close To You

 

It's a shame about that middle blip, apart from that it's all very consistent. It's cohesive though, to the point of being a bit samey so it dragged. Maybe those songs will grow when I listen to them individually. Work has grown a lot over the past few listens for me. The album as a whole is a LOT better than I expected though.

SHE'S A f***ING MESS.

Love On The Brain :o Oh my! :wub:

Likewise with 'Higher' :o Who knew her voice was capable of that?

SHE'S A f***ING MESS.

 

THIS!!!

 

Soooo we're just gonna pretend the other 4 singles didn't happen then and not include them on any collection? Ok then.

Okay, I've just heard this in full, the last 5 tracks (Same Ol' Mistakes, Never Ending, Love On The Brain, Higher and Close To You) are actually really good! A huge gulf between the first 8 tracks, none of which are listenable and mostly a lazy attempt at being experimental and slurring through as if she's had a fair bit of ketamine before recording.

 

I'm just gonna pretend this album exists from track 9 onwards and forget the rest, though at least it's an improvement from the last album which didn't even contain one good song.

 

(In short: better than I expected) (partly)

Seeing as the album isn't on iTunes or Apple Music yet, it seems that the 28th release is the TIDAL exclusive, I assume the album will out properly tomorrow. Maybe next Friday to give the TIDAL exclusive thing a bit more time but idk, at least she's least she isn't messing up with a Thursday release :lol:

 

Same Ol' Mistakes is a Tame Impala cover btw :o

Consideration, Kiss It Better, Never Ending, Love On The Brain, Higher and Close To You are the only tracks worth bothering with. The rest are just very average, uneventful or sound like demos.

 

Love On The Brain is the real standout of the album. Her voice has never sounded better. Work is growing on me now, but I can see why it's lead single. Nothing on there is really lead single material. It's all just lacking something compared to her previous albums. It's not the album you'd expect from someone as big as Rihanna.

Deluxe version of the album forthcoming (Friday), with these tracks included:

 

14. “Good Night Gotham”

15. “Pose”

16. “Sex With Me”

The 13 track standard album is being given away as a free download (MP3 or FLAC files) here: http://rihanna.tidal.com/redeem/?voucher=ANTI (for a limited time only - "A number of free "Anti" downloads will be available on a first-come, first-served basis, regardless of whether listeners subscribe to Tidal.")

It seems it'll be a Tidal exclusive for a week? Apparently physical copies aren't planned ( :( ), it'll be "exclusively available in streaming and downloadable formats".

No physical release...how odd! It's like they're not even bothered how this album does.
