Lov7 Song, No Love Allowed, Get It Over With, and Love Without Tragedy/Mother Mary are better than the majority of her discography. How in the world is UNA her worst album since 2007?  |
I think the first four or so tracks from Unapologetic are decent (similar to Yeezus) but for me the album completely trails off after that point, although Yeezus' decline is significantly less than that of UA.
It's just one moment she's delivering this hyper-generic dubstep dance track, the next she's ratchet, the next she's disco, the next she's a longing balladeer... there is no direction or purpose whatsoever to the album.
One of my problems with Rihanna has always been that she swiftly runs from being the bad ass, nonchalant sex pest into being the sincere and
deep
and
meaningful
soul, and the changes are just too dramatic and calculated to feel organic, so I'm left with wondering which of the two Rihannas is more contrived and whether she'll actually hire a consistent writing team for her next album.
