I don't think I've ever been this obsessed with a Rihanna album before. It truly is her best record to date. I even started to appreciate the bonus tracks recently, which I was paying dust before. The only song I don't enjoy as much is SOM, I really don't get the love it gets on here. It's so repetitive and I feel like it just draws out forever
ANTI > Rated R > Unapologetic >>> Talk That Talk > Good Girl Gone Bad >> Loud > A Girl Like Me (only because of Final Goodbye, We Ride and Break It Off) > Music Of THe Sun ( I actually low key enjoy her debut mixtape unlike so many lol)
I always like to wait a little bit before I give my opinion on an album, don't know nor do I care if anyone is interested in it.
1. Consideration ft. SZA - best way to open an album, really love the vibe. 3.5/5
2. James Joint - way too short, stale production, awful lyrics. 1/5
3. Kiss It Better - Great Track, I really dig the vibe that's going on there. 4/5
4. Work ft. Drake - medicore track but extremly radio friendly. 3/5
5. Desperado - love the western theme, has no real climax. 3/5
6. Woo ft. Travis Scott - amazing production, amazing lyrics. 4.5/5
7. Needed Me - I love it. Perfect Lyrics, Perfect Voice, Perfect Production. 5/5
8. Yeah, I Said It - don't care about this one, filler. 2/5
9. Same Ol' Mistakes - her voice is too "unclear" for me to like it 2/5
10. Never Ending - nice filler. 3/5
11. Love On The Brain - no comment needed. 5/5
12. Higher - too short, the rest slays. 4/5
