We both are a bit of a mess at times but we wouldn't be navy without being messy.

And Loud is one of the best pop records of the decade and the receipts for it's era proves it.

Loud era is the worst for me, she almost lost me during that time... Who's That Chick, OG, WMN, Cheers etc... I am not here for girly rainbows and ponies Rih. I only use Skin and S&M from Loud, and I hope she will never go to era/sound/look like that again. I don't even like WFL and WHYB that much. EDM is souless. Rated R, UA, GGGB >>>>

LOUD is my least favorite but Rihanna can still make light&meaningful music.

[SaneBeyhannaStan]

Loud has produced her most recognizable hits post GGGB, it's not cohesive, and it's not as edgy as most of you like but it was a great time to be a Stan of hers at the time.
I listen to Loud when I go to the gym.
And S&M, Complicated, and Man Down are some of my favorite Rih singles ever.

[SaneBeyhannaStan]

I personally prefer Rih from Loud era over GGGB Rihanna tbh.

No in the dark&light sense there isn't a true Rihanna. You will know hiw Rihanna is feeling directly thru her music. She isn't good at hiding feeling.

Yes I agree, but Loud Rih was the most manufactured she's ever been. And we both know Dead Jam made her that way and put out Only Girl type of songs on album just to make up for the 'underperformance' that Rated R was.

Unapologetic any day.

Thats not necessarily true, Rih has a pretty good poker face. She tends to keep things bottled up inside.

But we do need a "lighter" era after 2 somber eras in a row.
- Just spare us the cheesy meaningless songs

[SaneBeyhannaStan]

I think Happy or Light Rih is her being ratchet or songs like WNL more than OG or even WMN, I think she can still do deep songs without being depressing.
I mean Diamonds is edgy without being depressing.
Id love for Rih to do a Retro, or Funk Inspired Pop album like a more polished Sound of Nobodies Bidneh

[BajanBeauty]

Can we talk about how flawless the transition from Mad House to Wait Your Turn is. I hope she goes back to doing an intro on R8

Oh and a flawless album cover is a must! Im kinda over the up close face shots. . . either find a new pose, get a nice font or just use a picture of something else.

Mike y do you hate LOUD ...


LOUD is easily her best album it not being cohesive was the whole point listen to how age describes the album .. It was manufactured but they didn't Rih out of it .. They went back to dance pop Rih and then her island infused songs

[MikeFenty]

I don't hate LOUD, it's just not my fave. It's probably the era where she ALMOST lost me. LOUD tour saved it all tbh.

[SaneBeyhannaStan]

Wait Your Turn is very underrated, Rated R in particular is appreciated as an album by the Navy but I rarely hear the Navy use the songs much.

[SaneBeyhannaStan]

Rih almost lost me with TTT like I was THIS close to dropping her ass, after WFL she just kept testing my patience more and more.

It's one of her funnest album and era YES but best lyrically and all that NO.

Like Sane said I love listening to it to go to the gym and shake my ass in the living room but compared to GGGB, RR and UA it doesn't take me place (read my blog for deeper explanation)

[SaneBeyhannaStan]

Well Loud depends on what you like from Rih, If you're strictly here for her Pop, with a little variety that Rih is great at then yes it's up there and probably above GGGB(if you started stanning after 08).
However if you like Rih for her more serious side, then Loud isn't that high it's not a bad album but it's lighter and not something you'd go to when you're in a certain mood, or need something more somber.

[NewRihannaStan]

LOUD for me was always my fav .!! There is something about it that I love it stands out from her other albums

[SaneBeyhannaStan]

If Raining Men didn't exist I'd say Loud Obliterates GGGB but unfortunately

[MikeFenty]

GGGB has Say It but even then it's still superior.

[NewRihannaStan]

Say It and Sell Meh Candy are soo underrated
