Rihanna takes things in a darker, more mature approach that ends up being a hit or miss affair which will surely divide the fans of her previous work. Gone is the girl with fun, flirtatious tracks such as 'Push up on Me' and 'Please don't stop the Music' and in replace we have a deeper, edgier, angrier girl whose album consists of more atmospheric electro-rock tracks. Fans of her previous material should be open minded when checking this out because this really is a good girl gone bad.

When Ne-Yo said "expect a more edgy/angrier Rihanna on this one"-he really meant it. This album is dark, bleak, raw, and much more explicit from her previous work. Of course this album is still mainstream hip-hop/pop at it's core but Rihanna continues to expand her musical palate with several tracks experimenting with dark atmospheres and electro-rock. It'll certainly be interesting how this album plays out in upcoming weeks (and honestly you should know why at this point) but one thing for sure-Rated R live ups to whatever hype it had and shows Rihanna in a more mature, bolder,and slightly new controversial skin.

First half really boring, second half mostly ok, giving a fairly forgettable album that is surely not as fun as her debut without quite making up for it in emotion or atmosphere. I have to say the album flows well, has a genuinely cool albeit outdated dubstep-ish intro (yes yes), and a proper finale although quite lame given its title is 'Last Song' and the lyrics talk about how it is... the last song. Well done on that. She's shaping her her sound more towards the Rihanna I know, with more rap/hip hop influences here and there (and some rogue dubstep bits too), and almost no dub/reggae touches left. Most tracks are annoying to mildly ok. 2 is kinda badass and interesting at least, 6 is kinda cool but not a jam, 8 is also kinda badass and bouncy, and generally the run from 8-12 isn't all that bad, but there isn't really a jammy track on the whole record. Eh. 2.1

These high scores are very baffling to me. One half-way decent song (Fire Bomb) and that's all I have to establish here. Got it as a Birthday present on my 14th Birthday and oh gosh why did Rihanna have to drop this stinker?

For some reason it become mandatory for every stuck-up slutty college girl to drive around urban areas and
blast "Rude Boy" out of their car stereos.

Rihanna is to be commended for her bravery in the face of public humiliation, but that doesn't make songs like "Stupid In Love" or "Te Amo" any less pedestrian and soggy. And can somebody please euthanize Will Dot I Dot Am already?
