The album has absolutely zero longevity (something that 4 had). I'm willing to bet that had she released this album the normal way so the critics had the proper time to review it, then it's metacritic score would have been a lot lower.

Agreed. 4 is the better album.
And, yes, the critical reception was definitely inflated by the release method. In fact, most publications that reviewed it focus A LOT on that.

I mean, it's touching, but so are many other ballads.
The structure is that of a Pop ballad, the instrumental is a piano, like most Pop ballads that aren't guitar-driven, and the lyrics/vocals are pleasant, but not out-of-this-world.
Again, we're comparing it to OTHER albums. As a stand alone song, it's good. But it's not superior to many other songs similar to it made by other Pop stars.
like we should expect an unbiased opinion concerning rihanna from you
