10/10
1. Love on the Brain
2. Never Ending
3. Kiss It Better
4. Close to You
5. Consideration
6. Sex With Me
7. Needed Me
8. Work - it has grown for me, but all the songs above are better in my opinion.
9. Desperado - I remember trashing it at the beginning but now I love it.
10. Yeah , I Said It - wish it was longer. A remix with Miguel would be fire.
11. Same Ol' Mistakes - the song is great but I prefer original version and listen to it more. She did a good job, but should've changed something.
12. Higher - I absolutely hated this since that snippet, but now it is okay. Still not a fan, but I don't hate it.
13. James Joint - it is good for what it is. It was weird for me, when the album was released, that this song was #2 on the tracklist after Consideration (2:41) but it is a great interlude for KIB.
14. Pose - delete this.
15. Goodnight Gotham - still can't believe this bitch released this mess.
It's pretty easy to rank this album:
1. Kiss It Better
2. Love on the Brain
3. Consideration
4. Needed Me
5. Same Ol' Mistakes
6. Desperado
7. Sex with Me
8. Work

The more i think about it, ANTI really set up Rihanna well, the critics are more prepared to handle a cohesive album like ANTI, so R9 will be more well received, and probabaly be more critically acclaimed then ANTI is
What's the news on R9?
Do you all think we will get it this summer?
Anti hasn't aged at all for me but I want a new direction for her
Let LOTB smash until April next year. Two months break. Lead single in June in time for the summer. Second single in July. Album in August.
I honestly don't see another single from Anti after LOTB. And I don't want to wait for another 2 years before the next era. She might as well strike while the iron is hot critics-wise.
Omg.... I hope this becomes a recurring thing with all the cast before the movie comes out...its so amusing to see different vantage points of Rih's fame/personality/impressions tru a diverse spectrum of famous women.
Nah over-saturation is a thing. She gave us plenty of features this year in addition to an album. The more time off the better
& part of the reason why so many critics loved the album enough to place it on their year end lists was because she took a break. She finally built up that "what is she gonna do next" hype. Falling right back into yearly releases would be regressive and filled with snarky "oh Rihanna put out another album" comments
Why are people expecting an album so quickly? After everything she's said since the release of UNA? With the amount of projects she has lined up? Like...
Random but I will be disappointed if we never hear Rih over a Metro Boomin production
Even if it's a random feature or something uncredited, I would love to hear her float over the beat. I think she could really nail a hazy but pointed lyrical delivery. I always imagine her doing bg vocals on the chorus of No Heart which probably sounds dumb but slays in my head
at how all these interviews turn into Rihanna fan sessions. She's already the highlight of the movie without lead role. 
which probably sounds dumb but slays in my head
