Already pre-ordered it from HMV. Thought it would have came on friday like albums usually do from them but recently they've been coming later . Any way I really like the album. I downloaded the leak but haven't even played some songs in full yet because I still want them to be fresh. But from what I've heard I know I'm gonna love it. G4L, Cold Case Love, Rockstar 101 and The Last Song all sound wicked. I really want this to do well, but unfortunately some people might not give it a chance because it's not as commercial as 'Good Girl Gone bad'. Will be their loss lol.

Was hoping for the album to arrive yeters but it didn't.

Really good and it shows the time and effort made into this compared to last three albums that were rushed. This album isn't as good as the wonderful GGGB but it is a really good follow up. It's dark and edgy but not really commericial and she may lose fans.

Deffo the best r&b album from a female I have heard this year. I know I said the same about Whitney but I am not so keen on how wonderful Whitney's is now.

My favs are Russian, Wait is over, Stupid in love, Rockstar 101, Photographs and Te Amor.

I think her voice has really improved on this album. I wonder what they'll for as the next single and if this album will get to No.1 over here?

Usually when I pre-order new albums from HMV I get the album 2 or 3 days before it's released. Like Taio Cruz's album arrived on a Saturday, when before Timbalands: Shock Value was released that came on a friday, same with the Sugababes and so on. I just kinda got used to getting albums a few days earlier from HMV, guess I'll have to wait till Monday like everyone else lol

I'm defo buying it. I love the majority of tracks from album, as I've heard the leak and I think this new direction she's going in is really refreshing.

I've only heard previews of tracks, I'm gonna wait until full tracks go on youtube or we7 before deciding whether to buy or not.

It's a fantastic album, one of the best of the year. Every song is good, most are amazing and there are some modern classics on there (Cold Case Love is HUGE!).

It's just the way the game is played
It's best if you just wait your turn.

I bought this at dinner time but i'm still hooked on Lady GaGa at the moment. Rihanna might have to wait until later in the week

This gets a really good write up in the Saturday Times listings magazine. I really like Umbrella but I never felt any urge to buy her last album, not really sure why. I might just get them both now, last one and the new one!

I love the album, but I'mm annoyed that the CD is censored when the leaked version wasn't. Same with GaGa's Fame Monster.

I have downloaded "Russian Roulette" and "Wait Your Turn" but I don't know whether to do the rest of the album or not. I like the sound of the previews and Russian Roulette was a really big grower.

Download Rude Boy, that is the closest to anything from her previous albums.

This is the complete definition of a grower! Took me a while but the stand out tracks for me have to be Cold Case Love, Russian Roulette, Hard and Rude Boy. 7.5 out of 10. Lighten up next time girl
