I don't mind the blonde hair. She looked great on Jonathan Ross, at the Grammy's, during her Brit's performance, etc. It's just that she doesn't always style it well. If she wants to be a blondie, then fine; but she's going to have to put extra work in to style this color because it isn't as natural and instant as the red, black, and brown were.

Now not TOO much.
But I will say that TTT is one of her only albums that is always miles better than I give it credit for. It's like every time I think I'm sick of it, I give it another listen and it's magic all over again.

TTT is purely amazing. Save for the WAWL mis-step, it's almost flawless.

I agree to an extent. Right now I never play TTT in full, and the only songs I will play from it are WFL, YDO, BC rihmix, and occasionally DYT. But when I do give it a listen in full, the album ain't too shabby. I just never feel the need to listen to it in full.

The album can't be played in full because the tracklisting is beyond ****ed. The placement of Birthday Cake then WAWL is the equivalent of getting road head on the way to your grandmother's funeral service.

WAWL is terrible and I'm not huge on the deluxe tracks, but I agree. People who prefer Loud have no taste tbh.

The tracklisting is not that bad.  I think I may create a playlist with a better tracklist, though, just so the transitions are less bizarre. I still can't at some of the early reviews praising its cohesiveness.

Do Ya Thang doesn't give you that BOP!? Don't even get me started on Fool in Love. That **** is up there with Rated R quality in terms of powerful ballads.
Red Lipstick can miss me though. So overrated by the lessor Navy.

I like Do Ya Thang but I think it's extremely overrated and far too basic to be included on the album. Fool In Love isn't a bad song, per se, but I have a hard time enjoying it since I find it to be a low-grade version of CCL, which is my absolute FAVORITE Rihanna song.
RL is just eh. I used to love it but it's been getting on my nerves lately. I'm still glad I got the deluxe version, though. The packaging>>>

The tracklisting is honestly terrible. DOL and RMO should be moved to after BC to make the transition easier on the ear. There are other mishaps, too. It's just a mess.

The song or the album?
Song - I lost interest in it after a while. It's still a good track, but I never play it.
Album - Since the hype died down and I realised how rushed it is. Including half completed tracks on the album, looping half completed tracks and hoping no one would notice. There are some gems, but the album was put out way too quickly.

I agree that it's a bit rushed, but I still think it sounds great from start to finish. WHYB, WFL, TTT, Cockiness, DOL, RMO, WNL, and Farewell are some of the best songs she's released in the last few years.

I think just knowing how rushed it is, ruins the album for me. To me it's like Rihanna was thinking "eh, the navy will still buy it". She didn't put her all into the album, and the tracks reflect that. WFL is the only track on TTT that I think ranks up in Rihanna's best tracks.

The only REALLY rushed album in her discography is Loud. TTT may not have been extremely well-prepared and it's evident in the fact that it wasn't completed until a week before release that it was kind of last-minute, but it still sounds great.

Really? I think Loud is much more organised than TTT. I realise that it's a mess in terms of the genre hopping, but there were no half finished tracks on the album.
I agree, TTT sounds nice, but it's her worst album to date since she became a superstar. It just ranks above MOTS and AGLM.
