I'm not a huge fan of the album (it's not terrible, it's just doesn't stand out to me) but around a 60 average score so far?

It at least deserves around a 70 if not 75.

This just proves that reviews are practically irrelevant. Rihanna just served the best album of 2014/2015 and 2016 so far. Uneducated hoes better stay pressed.

The problem with rihanna and the critics is that they don't see her as a musician, they see 8 writers and producers for just one song. They can't talk about a growing mature artist, a change of direction, artistry, because she is not the creator of those songs. critics love self made artists.

The real question in here is: Will all this critics regret it in the year end lists like they always do with every pop album?

Damn, Slant.



The same type of moody alt R&B and urban they'd be drooling over from other acts tho. Come on now...

The Navy talking about this being her magnum opus and critically acclaimed for the last year but now they don't care about critics. ff

Rihanna albums rarely even make critics year-end lists. what's gonna make this one any different?
