that was a fantastic review. cockiness / birthday cake are filler not supposed to be there. he complimented the right tracks and everything. good review
DG1 seems really desperate to put rihanna down lately in any way possible. interesting.
the album actually grew on me. i think it's a tie with loud. but rated r >
And about all of you complaining about it being in cohesive thats not always a bad thing... i mean it gives diversity to an album and it allows the album to be listened to in a variety of different moods... all songs the same = boring
Rihanna – Talk That Talk
(Universal) BY BENJAMIN BOLES
Does Rihanna ever take a day off?[briebreak]
Besides singing hooks on every major rapper’s single and constantly touring, she cranks out an album a year, even if that means recording in the tour bus. To her credit, Talk That Talk doesn’t come across like a rush job pumped out between sound checks and hotel check-?ins. It’s actually more solid than last year’s inconsistent Loud.
She’s less gloomy and dark than on her last few albums, but the horny, sex-?obsessed subject matter is even more dominant. She’s amped up that side of her persona so much that it’s starting to come across as camp, which works better than you’d think.
The brilliantly ridiculous Bangladesh-?produced Cockiness (Love It) shows what she can do when paired with a hitmaker who isn’t trying to emulate the established RiRi formula. When she’s not challenging herself in that way, she can sound a little bored, but you could argue that’s part of her ice-?queen R&B appeal.
No it doesn't the definition of a filler is a tracks that is just put to fill up space that has bo quality whatsoever and since everybody here is arguing about which song is a filler then non actually are filler , sice WAWL has been labeled as best song on the album by some and cockiness has also been named such bu other reviews and filler can't be best song on the album
In other word : tracks you don't like =/= filler
These reviews got it a bit off. But two 83's and a pressed irrelevant is pretty good so far. 
i can't at this reviewer and his tameness
