Rihanna delivers the best LP of her career. It's not chock full of huge singles; it takes risks and may well alienate the more casual element of her fanbase, but really they should have grown up with her over the last decade (otherwise newbies should stick to "Good Girl Gone Bad" and "Loud").
By the end of Anti, Rihanna may not arrive at any definitive conclusions about her art but she's allowed herself to be unguarded and anti-commercial, resulting in her most compelling record to date.
Anti is so not a flop. With no itunes banner whatsoever (apple is boycotting her apparently), 1.4M given away for free (rihanna tweeted the link ) and such a messy physical release, it's doing ok. I think the second week predictions will go up to 60K or sth.
"Love On The Brain" is unbelievable - you'll simply be shocked that it's actually Rihanna's name attached, and it could well be a gigantic single with the right wind behind it.
This is so true it needs an amazing music video and performance. It has a lot of potential
