It's basically the song Rude Boy in album form. And I love Rude Boy but there are no surprises in TTT.

It's an album that just feels rushed in every aspect. Every song gives you the feeling Rihanna's A&R was in the room thinking stuff like,"I can see Roc Me being as big as Rude Boy" or "Jay'z verse is going to give it more spins on Urban like with Umbrella" or "You Da One will be great for the second single and do just what WMN did for Loud". Nothing sounds innovative or barrier-breaking, like Rihanna wants herself to be.
I'm glad "Cockiness" and "Birthday Cake" are getting slammed. Those songs are bottom of the barrel and it's a bit worrying that ATRL worships them.
