Let's discuss the fact that Loud has 0 basic tracks, while GGGB has a handful.

Or that fact that GGGB had no real artistic direction, and was just a bunch of "fun" songs thrown together.

I think people are getting sick of Rihanna. All my gay friends don't like her anymore. They think she's over-exposed. They also think she's a fake.

A few people =/= the world. I know a ton of people who are sick of Katy Perry and yet she still has her song reach #1 on itunes faster than toasting bread.

QUALITY >>>>>SALES

but most ATRL people are here for sales.

I knew Umbrella was gonna be a hit , remember the first time i heard it. It sounded different. My friends said it was a flop and annoying. I had the last laugh.

Rockstar 101 is also a song that goes hard and i still stan for it regardless if it flopped.

So many Navy members are only here for chart success and sales. While sales are a good thing (incredibly good thing), some of these members need to get a grip and remember why they are stannin' for Rihanna in the first place. Unless they are just here for her #1 singles and incredible WW success....

So,what kind of album in this world you want.Example?

One with both sonic growth and lyrical growth. GGGB and Rated R are prime examples of that. Maybe she consider experimenting with more indie rock sounds or alternative rock music.

So true. I wish she'd re-record the song. The original is too nasally.

Personally, I'm over Loud. There's just something about it that I generally dislike. I do agree that Umbrella and GGGB are a tad overrated, but Loud is just missing something. I think most of it has to do with being unexpected after the masterpiece that is Rated R. RS101 alone ***** on 99% of Loud, flop or not. She needs to venture back into that dubstep sound with Chase & Status eventually. It's fresh.

I think she needs to attach at least 8 new tracks: 2 Urban/Mixed Dubstep, 2 DancePop, 2 Ballads , 2 Carribean flavored.

if 2 additonal GGGB tracks gave GGGB huge legs, 8 tracks will take it to NEXT LEVEL.

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.

Yes,I agreed.I personally didn't like Rated R and still don't,thought a lot of Rihanna's fans find this album #1 for themselvs

Rated R >> QUIET. GGGB >>> QUIET. We all know Rated R flopped and that QUIET is moving at a faster pace than GGGB. Since when is that stanning for success?

I'm definently sick of her. It doesn't matter, if you release potential hits they will become hits & your albums will keep selling. A lot of it comes down to that, & how well you are promoted. People like Taylor Swift have received more haters with more fame, & people worry about overexposure, yet she still sees success. Speak Now would still be selling greatly if her promo team wasn't a mess & dissolved her promo after the holidays. The sales are still great, a triple platinum follow-up to a 6-million seller is something to be proud of. GaGa has been going for almost 3 years straight & overexposure has not touched her, her album is still selling & TEOG is going to become one of her most remembered hits, She wouldn't be causing controversy if people thought overexposure was seriously affecting her.

Rihanna will never be overexposed. If she hasn't been by now, she will not later.

8? I'm expecting 3. A dance pop, Pop/Urban crossover, and an R&B ballad.

You're being sarcastic right? GGGB ***** on Loud.

She did not become a cohesive artist until Rated R. GGGB just set me up for what was ahead.

And I've already said I don't use her first two albums. There is a reason they did not take her success to another level. They are a mess outside of the singles. Although I feel like I should buy them because I'm not getting the full picture.
