GGGB and Rated R don't even sound like the same artist at times. The sound was different from any of her previous album and showed growth. Rated R to QUIET is like a downgrade. GGGB to QUIET is like a boring radio friendly generic replica with a little Carribean flavor.

But sis, GGGB is almost as generic as Loud. If it wasn't for "Umbrella", "Don't Stop The Music", "Disturbia", and a few other songs, GGGB would be her most generic album to date - even worse than MOTS and AGLM's most generic songs combined.
I do agree that going from RR to Loud didn't give her much room for artistic growth, as she had reached her peak during the RR era, in terms of growth. I think that the next album will definitely be a step up from Loud, but I do not think that Loud is a bad album in any way. For a few months, I
hated Loud - until I gave it a second chance with no other Rihanna albums in mind. Then I was able to take it for what it truly was - a fun, carefree dance album full of radio-friendly hits. Any of Rihanna's albums that would have followed RR would pale in comparison - no doubt. No matter how amazing or ****** the album would be. As stans, we just have to appreciate what we are given. I respect your opinion on Loud, though. If you don't like it, nobody can change that but you.
