People are doing the most, it's just an average song, it's not like her career will go in ruins because of it . I hope this Paul Mccartney co producing Kanye's entire album rumor is false, both Rihanna and Kanye attached his name to their latest songs and both are far from being among their best.
I agree I expected more but if that's the direction she wants to go in that's her artistic prerogative. She clearly wants to experiment and if the songs smash then that's great. If not, she can always release another Loud like Madead did after American Life.
The Navy meltdowns aren't as bad as they were during Birthday Cake, but that's because they were angry then versus some of them being disappointed and not wanting to broadcast that disappointment.
