Loud being more commercially successful does not necessarily mean that people think it's better than Blackout. The comparison is only fair if you've heard both albums. Since Loud was far more successful, I'm guessing many people have heard it but not Blackout.

And likewise, there are probably people who've heard Blackout but not Loud.

Critics and awards can be used as a measurement of who favors what, but sales cannot.

Loud

I actually prefer Loud but I appreciate Blackout.

Blackout.

How can people even pick Loud over the masterpiece that is Blackout?

Blackout.

Loud is Rihanna's weakest album. It literally falls apart after Cheers, which is ironically the most ambitious track on the album despite being overall a lazy party song.

I still will never get the infatuation for Blackout.. it's half good, half filler.. it's so overrated..

both good albums but blackout >

Blackout is so much better

Blackout by far.
