I was disappointed but I found 3 songs that I like so it can pass Hated it on the first listen. But comparing it to her other works, it really is bad. Rated R >>>>

[rihannabiggestfan]

after relistening, TTT is better than Loud, but not by much.

Rated r > TTT > Loud ... and idk where GGGB sticks in.

[Bliss]

What the hell are you smoking? It's not her worst.

[genetic fail]

Talk That Talk is my 2nd fave album from her (GGGB is 1st of course).
I don't think it's that bad at all! It has a lot of enjoyable tracks and some that I can call "masterpieces".

The critics do not like TTT and I'm fine with that. It wouldn't change my perspective.

[BoyOnBoy Wonder]

TTT is a fun listen, but it has very little substance to it; I think that's the reason for the very low score.

[Nait Phoenix]

To me, yeah. There's so much missing and it's too short. It's no longer an LP, to me, if it's a smidge over 30 min. And, the songs don't have each other to lean on for theme. Sorry, it's really the worst album she's made so far.

[Hooligan]

I haven't really gotten into TTT, but that's normal for me since it takes a while for any if her albums to resonate.

That said, I can tell a good amount of TTT's tracks are filler, honestly.

[Sh!n-chan]

metacritic didn't lie. TTT is her worst and Rated R is her best

[ibreathepop]

It's definitely worse than GGGB, Loud and Rated R so it might be her worst one yet.
Where are the hits and where is the real fun on this album? Im really enjoying to hate on this album, because rihanna makes it so easy for us to hate on her this time. She said she would release a new album so soon and everyone was being sceptical, and now that it really came out and really sucks everyone is thinking: You should've waited longer to get the real hits baby!

Most critics don't have an interest in Pop music to begin with, so they don't know good pop music when they've heard it.

Besides, it may be her lowest scoring, but it will be one of her best selling.

[Beyond Say]

When it first leaked I loved it. BUt it got old real fast.

But, after a week I've deleted all the songs off my iPod except Where Have You Been, You da one, Birthday Cake, and Watch N Learn.

Robyn disagrees with your first comment with two pop albums with scores over 80 on metacritic..

And don't speak too soon about sales.

[Hollywood.]

TTT & Rated R are her best albums.

Yeah and look at how different those two albums are. Shows how fickle these critics can be. My point is that their scores don't relate to sales, so it's not that big of a deal.

[ashuduff]

Creatively, Loud was her peak.

[realityisalways]

Yet: Yes. But I still think she has potential, to be honest, I think she can do crappier stuff.

[ManDown]

No, it's one of her best.

Bad reviews =/= bad album.

[B2R4D]

Apart from WFL, WHYB, YDO, TTT and Birthday Cake, the rest of the album is pretty much filler. RMO and DOL are recycled Stargate trash that we've heard so many times before. RIhanna is capable of putting out smash after smash. She's great with the singles, but I never really enjoy her albums as a whole.

Exactly. One of my favourite albums got a 39 on metacritic.

[zzmyth]

WEll at least its at 63 now... and still with that 40/100 repeated by the same newspaper...

At least its not below 60 now and its back to green.

I think it may be too 'dirty' for critics... but it is one of her best work and her most cohesive album yet.
