Taylor's lyricism is truly remarkable.

I love how simple and spontaneous it all is, yet so effective and doesn't sound cheap at all. Her melodies are stellar as well. I just love the way she does what she does.

She makes it looks so easy.

Where was the logic in placing that song after a track that repeats "I'm so hard, yeah yeah yeah, I'm so hard" and preceding "oh, baby, I'm a rockstar, oh baby I'm a rockstar"? I can't not skip that awful streak of three songs to get to the greatness of Rated R.

I used to love this song when Rated R first came out

It was always the only track I couldn't listen to. The album's one flaw.

No lie, I heard C'mon plenty of times but for some reason can't remember how it goes at all. I always want to remember there being a "So c'mon!" part identical to the one in Inside Out.

So, how many of you bottoms are gonna bandwagon Gags when she recovers and slays 2014?

[NewRihannaStan]

The 141 Karat tore isn't over yet , she has more dates this year ..

[RobynYoBank]

The album version butchered Aura for me. Don't think I've listened to it since the week the album came out.

Ok I use this

But if this album is anything like the second half of PF:RR

It won't be.

[SaneBeyhannaStan]

I could've sworn Rihanna is doing some more dates in 2014 so I wouldn't try and punch the Forehead World Tore yet

Isn't it odd how the Navy rushes to post about US numbers concerning singles but never want to discuss US numbers concerning album sales?

And speaking of that

“Music of the Sun” (released in 2005; 609,000 sold)
“A Girl Like Me” (2006; 1.349 million)
"Good Girl Gone Bad," with 2.8 million sold
“Rated R” (2009; 1.110 million)
“Loud” (2010; 1.761 million)”
“Unapologetic,” has now sold 1.113 million
”Talk That Talk” has sold 1.118 million

All after a year, the last 3 being released during holiday season

"Beyonce" is #8 (1,301,000)

After 17 days

It's really not. It's all very narrative and spoken word and simple, it gets boring and there is not much variety in her writing. She never strays from the same theme, love and heartbreak. Most of her songs sound very juvenile and immature and although her melodies are good and she has shown much growth since Fearless, it's not enough for me to be able to say her lyricism is remarkable.
