Yeah it's a great album. Definitely one of my favorites this yyear. Not one song I don't like on it. My favorites always change but I really like Rockstar 101, Hard and G4L.

Listening to it right now, one of the best albums of 2009!

Mad House - 8/10 (should be a whole, proper song!)
Wait Your Turn - 8.5/10
Hard (feat. Young Jeezy) - 8.5/10 (the video is amazeballs though)
Stupid In Love - 7.5/10 (nothing compared to her older ballads)
Rockstar 101 - 8/10 (proper attitude!)
Russian Roulette - 9/10
Fire Bomb - 7/10 (although I'm growing to love it)
Rude Boy - 8.5/10
Photographs (feat. will.i.am) - 6.5/10 (worst on the album imo)
G4L - 7/10
Te Amo - 7.5/10
Cold Case Love - 9/10 (AMAZING!)
The Last Song - 7/10

Well rounded and consistent album, good choices of singles so far.

Actually I kinda agree with 'Photographs'. I still like it but it's not one of those songs that I might spontaneous play, if you get what I mean.

Exactly, I won't skip it if the album is playing but I wouldn't choose to play it either.

I think GGGB is superior because it wasn't just the singles (all 201 of them) that were great, the whole album is listenable and well above average.

Cold Case Love is gonna take a while to grow on me. The meaning behind it is heartbreaking though. Makes me hate chris brown even more.

Disagree about photographs. I love it. But then I love all the songs on the album.

Tbh, I disgaree.
GGGB was a great album but RR is superior because she has gone from commercial pop songs to serious artist. Also, how is RR not listenable?

Hard - how can anyone NOT groove to this song! The whole production is amazing!
Wait your turn - love it
Fire bomb - this song if released will be HUGE
Stupid in love - very simple song but gets you - the lyrics can transcend to many!

Hard, Fire Bomb, Wait Your Turn, Russian Roulette, Stupid in Love, Rockstar, Rude Boy and The Last Song are all pretty good.

Afraid i'm not keen on G4L, Photographs, Cold Case Love or Te Amo at all and deleted them from my playlist.

I have been addicted to this album since I got it on the day it come out. It's amazing and as good as her last album. Best r&b album i have heard all year.

The album has recently rised in sales in the US. It went out of the top 30 after 3 weeks but it rised back in the top 20 last week and as of the latest chart in the US, it has rised to 18.

You said GGGB was listenable when you were comparing it with RR. I assumsed you were saying RR wasn't listenable. Sorry.

Didn't debut at 4 in the US. Did it drop after that?

Sad to say I'm not enjoying this album as much as I thought I would, best song for me is still Russian Roulette which is annoying as I wanted to discover some new music.

I'm just finding it very boring and skip to the next song after a minute or so of each one.

I hope it grows on me! I really like Rihanna.

P.s Photographs is probably the only song that I did like straight away, funny a few other ppl think it's the worst!

I absolutely love Stupid in Love. So simple, yet so effective.

Te Amo smashes all of the other track in my opinion, pure masterpiece
