Atonement

Yeah this is still amazing. Also in my trinity of 2016, along with 'Anti' and 'Starboy' :wub:. 'Everyday' should be the next US single. Not sure what I would choose as the next European single. None of the songs sound like they will be big hits.

Most of the tracks have grown on me more. I can see why people think it's too long but I love almost all the tracks (only one I don't really see the point of inclusion for is 'Attention' - even though it's not bad it's the only one I wouldn't miss) :wub:. Hope he can squeeze many hits out of this album.

1. Diamonds 2. Loveeeeeee Song 3. Stay 4. Pour It Up 5. What Now 6. Right Now 7. Jump

I don't tend to give out loon rates (check other rates I do); never give 11s and very rarely give 10s. Not sure why you felt the need to point it out but I guess The Weeknd still has you pressed, oooooopsss~~~~~~

I agree that it's too long though. Personally I would want to cut the interlude, 'All I Know' and 'Attention'.

Very solid album. Definitely has the possibility to become my favorite of his. First impression rate: 8.5 Starboy 7.0 Party Monster 8.0 False Alarm 7.5 Reminder 10 Rockin’ 10 Secrets 9.0 True Colors 6.5 Stargirl [interlude] 8.0 Sidewalks 7.5 Six Feet Under 8.5 Love to Lay 10 A Lonely Night 5.0 Attention 6.5 Ordinary Life 9.5 Nothing without You 8.0 All I Know 7.5 Die for You 8.5 I Feel It Coming

It's not coming today :angry: Now I have to restrain myself from listening to the entire album until it does :cry:. edit: the above was obviously not gonna happen; i'm streaming it as I'm typing this :w00t:.

According to the site I ordered it from it will ship 2 ma house tomorrow. It better be true :angry:

But the album is out tomorrow?

1. Kiss It Better 2. Love on the Brain 3. Work 4. Needed Me KIB and LOTB are among the best songs of her career. 'Work' is so much fun. 'Needed Me' is also good but it never clicked with me the way it should have. All in all I would say this is her best streak of singles, along with the 'Loud' singles. Don't worry, you will soon 'cause it's taking over the world.

kBsycvSU6r8 'Secrets' is coming for BLOOD. This is almost definitely gonna be album of the year for me... (sorry 'Anti', sorry 'Dangerous Woman'). Possibly album of the decade!

'I Feel It Coming' is giving me such great vibes. Great album closer I think. 'Rockin'' is also out there now in LQ and it's a certified smash hit. I pre-ordered the album after hearing 'Rockin'. My body is ready for it.

This is about to be blow up in the US. I hope it will cross over to Europe.

So which song did he perform? I hope he made the right decision in the end to perform 'All We Needed'.

01. Man Down (her best song) 02. Only Girl 03. Cheers 04. S&M 05. What's My Name? 06. California King Bed (07. Raining Men)

Hoping for a price reduction of a Rihanna single is futile. I admit I don't know about the UK but as far as I know 'Only Girl' is the only Rihanna single ever to get a discount in the US.

The only thing I would've really changed is more promo. The single choices have been on point. I don't think the dual release was a big issue as she did it before with 'Stay' and 'Pour It Up' and they were both huge. 'Kiss It Better' just didn't click with the public. 'Love on the Brain' would really benefit from some promo in Europe as she seems to have alienated European radio with releasing urban songs like 'Work' and 'Needed Me' first which didn't get played at all. I think if Rih had recorded and released 'Cheap Thrills' that 'LOTB' would be played to death on the radio now as well. But we'll never know. I hope there's no fifth single though and the next single will be a lead from the next album which will be pop and radio friendly.

I'm not really digging the two new tracks yet. I think they'll grow. His last album was a massive grower for me too. Very happy there's no duet with Lorde on the album in the end. The track with Lana is apparently just an interlude. Looking forward to next Friday :D.

I'm hoping for a 'Where Have You Been' win! The video makes no sense but I love the scenery and we rarely see Rih perform choreography.

I spot no lies. I'm so excited she already basically finished a new album. I love it when my faves go for quick releases. I firmly believe the key to big sustained success is staying in the spotlight like Rihanna did from 2005-2012. Just release, release, release. (she should take notes again). I hope we get this by Summer 2017 after releasing 1 or maybe 2 more singles from 'Dangerous Woman'.

I'm a bit worried we're not getting a video to be honest :lol:. Or one that's much too late like 'Pour It Up'. I don't think anything's been shot yet and she's doing the Valerian movie right now. Pls prove me wrong Rih.

#51 in the US now and #59 on UK iTunes. It's definitely outperforming 'Kiss It Better' in the US but I just remembered KIB did pretty well on UK iTunes (peaked around top 20 for a while) and only peaked at #46 in the chart. I hope LOTB will do better. I think Spotify is going to be a real problem for LOTB though, and not just in the UK but anywhere. Here's hoping for some Spotify payola from her team :D

omg this sounds like a true classic.

'American Oxygen' deserved higher, she looks so good in that video + the concept is good. No real loss in the others though. 'Kiss It Better' still in and slaying. Yasss.

I'm really starting to have faith that this is going to be become an actual hit now. I read it's also charted in Sweden and Austria. Sure, they're low positions for now but it's hopeful. Dutch radio hasn't played it yet but I can't imagine that they won't soon.
