For me, Rihanna's albums usually enjoyable for about four to six months. As time progresses, I just find myself going back to enjoy two or three tracks every once in a blue moon.
She hasn't released a cohesive body of work (~classic) and most likely never will because she's at the mercy of a team of random songwriters and producers.
Nah, they're only like 3 classic albums this decade but it is a very solid album from start to finish. Rockstar 101 is honestly one of her best songs as well as G4L & WYT
Rihanna will never top Rated R. It's the closest she's ever come to convincing me that she's an artist. You could tell how passionate she was about the album in interviews during the era.
Rih's new album is going to be her best, it seems like she's taking her time to actually craft good/innovative music this time around. I'm excited to see where she goes this time.
