This album has some really strong tracks, but along with those really strong tracks, there are some really horrible ones in the pack. While I have grown to like some of the tracks, I cannot grow to love this album like previous Rih CD’s.
Top 3: What Now, Diamonds, Lost in Paradise Bottom 3: Phresh Out The Runway, Nobody's Business (featuring nobody of relevance), Loveeeeeee Song (featuring Future)

"Take Me Home"
15/20.
While I don’t use 25% of this album. I use the other 75% enough to fill the void. The single choices have been atrocious so far and don’t do the album any justice. I hope better singles will be chosen ASAP because I really love this album and is actually an improvement from Up All Night. Top 3: Rock Me,Back For You, She's Not Afraid Bottom 3: Little Things, Heart Attack, Live While We're Young
11/14.
While some of y’all deem it her worst album. I think it is one of her better albums. I hated it sans We Found Love and Do Ya Thang on first few listens. Even regretted buying it for a little bit. But when Where Have You Been saw release I decided to give it a second chance and that was a great idea. I ended up loving the album 1000x more than before.
Top 3: We Found Love, Where Have You Been, Do Ya Thang Bottom 3: Birthday Cake, We All Want Love, Farwell

"Born To Die/Paradise EP"
18/25.
The only reason this has such a low percentage of tracks I love is because it is two different albums and the both have really high tracks, but they also have some pretty bad tracks. I love Lana and her distinct voice, lyricism and style. I don’t like her to try to be “hipster,” I actually like her because I like her. Top 3: Ride, Cola, National Anthem Bottom 3: Blue Velvet, Diet Mtn Dew, Lolita
