I'm a little disappointed in the reviewers constantly complaining about "NO HITS!" when this is clearly a passion project for Rihanna. If she was worried about delivering hits, she would have padded it with the Sia tracks, the top 5 'FourFiveSeconds', the memorable 'Bitch Better Have My Money'...

It's apparent after getting the album that she created this just for herself. It's what she wanted & chose to release. And regardless of what the music critics have to say, I'm proud of her for releasing something so uncompromised & different from what people expect of her.

That's bravery. Not placing the rest of your 'daring' album behind the safety net of a Sia track & working with people like Pharrell and Ryan Tedder.

I also believe the score will go up in the future.

Passion project? Did she even write on it? Her music sounds unfinished. If she's not gonna write or produce, or dance or give us some powerhouse vocals, the least she can do is give us bops overwise what is she even good for?

Not the girls already rejoicing, there's 20+ more critics to go.

Realize what?
Unlike most of you, the critics opinions don't determine what i think is great or not.

Girl, you haven't even listened to the album in full (as you claim) and here you are trying to judge and give your two cents. How can you critique when you haven't gone over the material yourself? Nonsensical as ****. Make your way to a Natasha Beddingfield thread and leave this topic, as you can't contribute any sort of constructive criticism.

Exhibt A. She wrote on EVERY song except for the cover. KNOWN fact had you listened and kept up/actually read any of the reviews instead of poorly attempting to troll.

1. The post you quoted was about Work, not ANTi
2. I didn't have to listen to Confident in full to know Demi's music is bad either.
3. I must be on the ball, because you're clearly bothered. I know my opinion won't change after listening back to back. I've heard enough.

#1 in 80+ countries and 110k in a sales window of 1.5 days in 2016. Not to mention (supposed) stream of 13M from Tidal, the biggest failure in music history. Your point?

Did she write them like Beyoncé or did she write them like Taylor Swift?
I mean if she did really contribute, then I can only sympathise with her... But that doesn't make her music good.

Okay but there's 13 songs on the album, meaning roughly ~1 million streams a song.

It's not like 13 million people streamed it. Nonetheless, it's alright.

1. Doesn't matter what I quoted. You and others, who have been following this thread, can see your other post declaring your lack of interest in the few posts above.
2. Again, that is your unwillingness to experience and explore before formulating opinions. Definition of bias and being closed minded.
3. I'm bothered by the fact that you're tossing around nonsense in order to illicit a response when in fact, you have less than zero right, as you have not listened to the album. Even the transparent Hive have listened before coming to troll. That's what makes a good troll. Knowing your ****.

And never mention my balls again. Disgusting.

I was told that it was Work alone that achieved that number. I may be incorrect.

This is so ****ing unfair. This album is by far her best effort.

This messy release ****ed up everything.

Some people desperately wanting to see this critically bomb. How pitiful.
