TTT is easily the worst of the last 4 albums she released. Even the basic LOUD sweeps it up. TTT is a good album, but not great. Either way 59 is too low, 65 is more accurate
It's a bit surpising since BTW got received so well (and some of the songs are controversial), but Rihanna doesn't have the advantage of having an image like GaGa's. GaGa can sing about hookers, putting her whiskey mouth on someone's blonde south & somehow it works for the critics. She's not judged as a ****. Critics are probably listening to TTT like, "what a ****".
Who reported this? It's not flamebait, I love GaGa. It's TRUE.
- She's putting out albums yearly.
- She didn't write a song on her own.
- She hired nearly all of the best producers in the industry.
- She's being overly sexual.
- The theme of TTT is too reminiscent of Loud's theme; there's not a clear evolution.
...So I'm not surprised by her low score.
Watch when the day comes that Gaga gets a low score, what is going to be you're excuse when that happens? These reviews are pointless because the decision at the end of the day is made by the buyer, not the critics.

Those reviews are on point and depict perfectly how Rihanna is a brain-dead pop star that can't achieve artistic integrity.
It's true and it supports my argument that Rihanna is judged more harshly than others.
Rihanna gets away with a lot tbh. I think it's in her delivery where the critics separate her & Gaga. "I wanna **** you right now" =/= "whiskey mouth all over my blonde south"

I have to admit that you're right .. But somehow , the ' meaningful' part of Born This Way hide the ****ty part of it ...And Gaga doesn't makes much sex songs like Rihanna ....
I hope you can understand what I mean... Because my English sucks .
I think part of the issue stems from the fact that the market is already oversaturated with Rihanna material. Don't get me wrong, I love that she's constantly pumping out fresh material, but certainly it presents an opportunity for some to criticize a perceived lack of involvement. Though most won't come right out and label this a rushed affair, I there's a sense that Rihanna's albums, because she gives birth to a new one on a yearly basis, are disposable. As far as I'm concerned, Loud was an absolute throw-away and I would definitely consider Talk That Talk the stronger album. That said, I'm not entirely surprised that critical response has been less favorable this time around. The critics are overwhelmed by her output, they've become disenchanted, and they're beginning to voice it. They harp on lazy delivery, persist that the songs aren't special and claim that Rihanna sounds disinterested. I don't agree, but I understand why they're making such claims.
