Poll: Was Talk That Talk a mistake?

JessieJHeartbeat

So, I know it has reached 2 million worldwide, but TTT has under performed in comparison to Loud. What do you think Rihanna should have done?

By the way the last option was a joke - don't take it too seriously please - I love Rihanna!

Quality wise , YES.
Success wise, NO because of WFL and most likely WHYB

She should have re-released Loud with WFL, WHYB, Cockiness and DOL.

I have no idea why they released TTT, it's an era that doesn't even make sense, both her and her label are paying it dust by not even promoting it, Loud could easily sell 8M with a re-release and more promo, the Loud tour could easily gross 100M+ if she had continued instead of rush releasing this album, they felt like wasting money, I guess.

Not to talk about that it is a solid pop album but it gets old in 2 weeks.

This thread won't even exist once WHYB will have slayed the world...

WFL is the only reason why it debuted that big and is still selling, its close to 3 mill as log as it passes Rated R ww im good

Boomer

Releasing it when she did was. Should have waited until this year.

Talk That Talk's only redeeming qualities so far have been WFL + its video. Every other single has been mismanaged & accompanied by bad videos and performances. The promotion has been the use of shock value and gimmicks: between the hypocritical hair color changes and the Chris Brown remixes, it's been messy. The album itself is very try-hard in its lyrics and the songs other than WFL, WHYB and maybe YDO are pretty bad. She should have continued on the success of Loud and went for a more dance-pop record with commercial hits, since that's what she does best. (see WFL's smashing success)

Also WnL. Best song on TTT

She should have chosen better singles imo.

YourMadGesty

No—just inappropriately mishandled. .

SylMacPer

No it's not a mistake cuz WFL & WHYB are flawless songs that I really needed in my life!

zombaland

Listen.
TTT is great. Just because ATRL doesn't agree,doesn't mean the whole world should follow suit.
The songs are great. I mean she served some of her finest with WFL,WHYB,WnL,DOL,DYT and so many more.
Underperformance=/=Mistake.

I think it's the best song too but most people dislike it and it isn't doesn't stand out enough to be among 4 songs of a re-release.

csybeyking

Yes. It would've been smarter to do an EP...seeing as though WFL and WHYB will be the only successful singles

I'm torn on this subject now.

I mean,Rihanna could have waited at LEAST a few more weeks/monthsfor the first single from TTT to debut OR she should have never released Cheers as a single.Seriously,The Loud and Talk That Talk eras kind of melted into each other because of that.Other than that,TTT would have been fine (sans the messy single choices)

Also You Da One should have NEVER been released as a single.point blank.

Then again,she could have Re-released/pulled a TFM with Loud,instead of making it a proper album.Farewell,and a few other album filllers simply weren't needed this time around and she could have released a stronger EP (containing 5-8 songs) with the remaining songs being taken out/kept as unreleased tracks IMO.
