It's just one moment she's delivering this hyper-generic dubstep dance track, the next she's ratchet, the next she's disco, the next she's a longing balladeer... there is no direction or purpose whatsoever to the album.
One of my problems with Rihanna has always been that she swiftly runs from being the bad ass, nonchalant sex pest into being the sincere and  deep and meaningful soul, and the changes are just too dramatic and calculated to feel organic, so I'm left with wondering which of the two Rihannas is more contrived and whether she'll actually hire a consistent writing team for her next album.

I don't understand sis. People are nuanced. It's entirely possible to go between those different things
Like, how is that inorganic? Most people can go from being happy to horny to emotional to reflective to in-love relatively easily. UNA was a reflection of her life in 2012. She was a 24 year-old dealing the death of her grandmother, and was contemplating a relationship with her ex-boyfriend- someone who had been under constant media scrutiny for years, partially because of her. This is one of the weirdest complaints I see about Rihanna. People don't work the way Public Relations companies want you to think they do. People, let alone celebrities, are rarely consistent and logical.
