TTT should've just been an EP with the first half of the soundtrack along with a full version of Birthday Cake. The true definition of a rushed-sounding album.
TTT is the most pointless album ever made. Nobody even uses anything from it side for those 4-5 hits.
And it still sold 3 million. Re-releases don't really have an effect anymore (if they ever did). Loud is basically her most successful album era, and they tapped out of it's potential in one year. Those yearly releases were the best thing for career. She needs to go back that winning formula because the break after Una has clearly made people stingy for spending money on Rihanna.
if you trim the fat from unapologetic (wtf was jump, right now and what now, nobody business is nobody's favorite and lost in paradise sucks), it would be SOO much better than SCAm.
NOISE is such a disjointed mess and ppl do so much on it

Yep, the yearly releases were great for her, other similar artists should take same route with 12 tracks each year instead of 20 every two years

I dont even think she would sell as much now like she used to even if she went back to yearly November releases because streaming.
On paper, most rushed Rihanna albums are a mess (Diamonds release not even a month after Cockiness performance, the polarizing album cover, the track titles). But somehow, I can totally deal with POTR being placed side by side with Diamonds. I don't even think it's the stan in me, we just accept Rihanna that way.
