The highly anticipated Rihanna album 'Rated R' came out several weeks ago. But I want to do a list of my thoughts on each track. Sort of like the Lady GaGa review. Just out of the gate, I am a fan of Rihanna so keep that in mind. It may be a little bias but the reviews that have been published mostly seem positive.
1. Mad House
-Shame it's not a full song
-Reminds me of the intro to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" track not the album
-Interesting for an intro
Score: 7.1/10.2
2. Wait Your Turn
-Swagger song on the album
-Sweet lyrics; "I'm such a f---ing LADY" ;)
-She brought back her island accent from her "Music of the Sun" days
Score: 8.7/10.2
3. Hard (feat. Young Jeezy)
- Highlight; "THEY CAN SAY WHATEVER
I’MA DO WHATEVER
NO PAIN IS FOREVER"
-Young Jeezy is pretty decent and fits the track
-Upcoming single (2nd)
Score: 8.6/10.2
4. Stupid in Love
-Thought it was awesome upon first listen
-Now I think its sub-par
-LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING
NEVER HAVE I EVER
BEEN A SIZE 10 IN MY WHOLE LIFE
"HUH?!"
-New fan's may like the track, but it doesn't fit the album
Score: 4.6/10.2
5. Rockstar 101 (feat. Slash)
-One word: SWAGGER
Score: 8.9/10.2
6. Russian Roulette
-LOVE the gunshots
-A good ballad for the album while still fitting the context (unlike: Stupid in Love)
-Sweeettt Chorus
Score: 9.1/10.2
7. Fire Bomb
- FUCKING AMAZING
-"I JUST WANNA SET YOU ON FIRE SO I WON'T
HAVE TO BURN ALONE
THEN YOU'LL
THEN YOU'LL KNOW WHERE I'M COMING FROM
FIRE BOMB" One of the highlights of the album!!!!
-BEST TRACK ON THE ALBUM
Score: 24.35/10.2
8. Rude Boy
- Not the girl next door anymore
-"COME HERE RUDE BOY
BOY CAN YOU GET IT UP
COME HERE RUDE BOY
BOY IS YOU BIG ENOUGH
TAKE IT TAKE IT
BABY BABY
TAKE IT TAKE IT
LOVE ME LOVE ME":O
Score: 9.6/10.2
9. Photographs
-Boring...
- Will.I.Am is annoying when his breakdown comes
-The lyrics are decent
Score: 7.6/10.2
10. G4L
-My second favorite track!
-Sweet production by Chase & Status
-Nice chorus
Chorus: 10.1/10.2
11. Te Amo
-Really curious track (in a good way)
-Cheesiest track on the album
-"TE AMO SHE SAYS TO ME
I HEAR THE PAIN IN HER VOICE
THEN WE DANCED UNDERNEATH THE CANDELABRA
SHE TAKES THE LEAD" A real 360 from the Good Girl Gone Bad days
Score: 9.51/10.2
12. Cold Case Love
-Very Poignant
-The most personal track on the album
-Emotionally charged for sure
Score: 10.099/10.2
13. The Last Song
-"WHAT IF YOU WASTED LOVE AND ALL OF OUR TIME DISAPPEARED?
