Entertainment Weekly Calls "Rated R" Best Pop Album of 09!
Entertainment Weekly declared Rated R “Best Pop Album of 2009″ in their Best Of issue.
Best Pop Album: Rihanna – Rated R – Well, color us corrected. When we first heard Rated R (via a record-label listening session, as with several other releases on this list), we gave it a B. Since then, the insidious pleasures of the Barbadian superstar’s dark, defiantly uncommercial fourth album have sucked us in entirely. From bursts of spiky aggression (Hard) and ragga-tinged rapture (Rude Boy) to moments of pure, naked vulnerability (the Justin Timberlake-penned heartbreak symphony Cold Case Love), it’s emerged a stealth stunner
I think it's the best pop album in a long time, i listen to it everyday and still can't believe i listen to every song! rarely does that happen... although "All I Ever Wanted" and "She Wolf" are close in the race. "The Fame Monster" is good, but I want more vulnerability from GaGa like "Speechless".
