I really love it. She has definitely created a monster of an album. As someone who likes hip hop and pop songs that Nicki creates, I'm really looking forward to it now

(Tracks 1-9, 19 are more hip-hop/R&B/rap songs, and tracks 10-18, 20-22 are pop/dance songs)

My favourite tracks so far: Marilyn Monroe, Pound The Alarm, Roman Holiday , Va Va Voom

Makes me wonder why Nicki picked the album's worst songs as singles. Maybe she wants to save the best songs for later?

I don't think her rap stuff on the first half of the album sounds as good as her first album. The second half sounds really good, although I think she should have put the two duluxe tracks 'Va Va Voom' and 'Masquerade' onto the main version.

I actually have to say, the rap songs just arent good, its not that she cant rap, its just those tracks have no hook (obviously i'll wait to hear the full songs to really comment), but so far its not looking good, BUT when it hits the more dancey songs, well, i think those ones sound immense, im probably gonna end up just downloading the dance songs and pretend its her dance album, because i think about 10-12 tracks are pop ones, and thats an average album length so yay!

YES! Roman Holiday studio version...LOVE.

This is a really strong album from the snippets, the delays were worthwhile!

Automatic sounds like a smash summer anthem. So does Beautiful Sinner for that matter.

I adore Va Va Voom too!

Omg, cannot wait to get this album So happy with the snippets of these songs!

I wish Stupid Hoe wasn't on there and we had another rap song instead though. Also, not feeling the Chris Brown collab, Right By My Side yet.

Va Va Voom and Pound The Alarm are definitely the best pop songs on there, so excited to hear them in full.

Sounds really promising. I can't wait for a leak.

I am liking the mix of Rap, Pop and Dance. It's more accessible than her first album

Marilyn monroe is no different to the demo so i am very happy with that. Roman reloaded studio sounds epic.

what? :O

It's not cohesive in the slightest.

The 'hip hop' part of it sounds weak and the pop/dance part sounds cheap.

SOOOOOOO GUTTED!!!

I'm not gonna lie I'm disappointed It isn't even like an album, it's pretty much 2 seperate albums because once you get to #10 everything is pretty much pop/dance. I also found the rap/hip-hop songs very weak. I know I can't 100% judge from the snippets but this is definitely not up to Pink Friday standards.

In saying that, the pop/dance songs aren't terrible, but I'll probably just play them out after a month. I thought Nicki wanted to be this huge female rapper, wanting to be bigger than Jay-Z etc.... she's definitely selling out.

THIS!!!

How can she tell Jay that she is coming for his crown when she won't even stick to the genre?

How can people claim she is the queen of rap???

I've been a fan for about 4 or 5 years and rapidly watched her become a sell-out monster.

I've never been a huge Hip-Hop fan but I loved Pink Friday. Nicki's rapping on this is not as good though. I do love all the tracks from Starships on though.

I think I'll be dividing the album in my iTunes when I get it.

Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded [CD1]

1. Roman Holiday
2. Come On A Cone
3. I Am Your Leader Feat. Cam’ron & Rick Ross
4. Beez In The Trap Feat. 2 Chainz
5. HOV Lane
6. Roman Reloaded Feat. Lil Wayne
7. Champion Feat. NAS, Drake & Young Jeezy
8. Right By My Side Feat. Chris Brown
9. Sex In the Lounge Feat. Lil Wayne & Bobby V

Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded [CD2]

1. Starships
2. Pound The Alarm
3. Whip It
4. Automatic
5. Beautiful Sinner
6. Marilyn Monroe
7. Young Forever
8. Fire Burns
9. Gun Shot Feat. Beenie Man
10. Stupid Hoe

Much neater that way!

Unfortunely that's true. I was so happy for Nicki when she was repped as the next big thing in Rap. That's how I want her to be

I agree. The worst thing is, my favourite tracks from the snippets seem to be Romans Holiday, Marilyn Monroe and Forever Young I didn't expect to have that opinion on first thought. I really was hoping for more rap/pop blend. I was hoping there would at least be more tracks on the same wave length as Moment 4 Life. I think the problem is she has changed the format and made a 19 track album that do not compliment eachother. So the album is very 2 sided - it's one extreme, and another from a hip-hop/pop sense

Yeah, should be two CD's. Or even two separate EP's. The two halves are totally different albums, really.

It seems a bit overwhelming and underwhelming simultaneously. It's not as strong as I'd hoped, and there's just so much going on for one album. Especially one that's quite bipolar yet also samey.

I think Pink Friday was much stronger in terms of the hip-hop/R&B content. It sounds quite watered down here. Roman Holiday is the only one that initially jumped out.

The latter half is better, but it's not particularly much different to the R&B/pop/dance stuff of the past few years. I can see quite a few of those tracks growing on me though.

I was really dreading what this might sound like after hearing Stupid Hoe, but I'm pleasantly surprised. Although I'm a little underwhelmed by the more hip-hop side of the album, the latter half of it sounds INSANE. I'm now really looking forward to this album and blasting it out whilst rapping along badly in silly voices. (I'm cool I know).

Official preview is here: http://soundcloud.com/nickiminajoffi...roman-reloaded

The 2nd half is EXACTLY what Gaga should have released last year, in terms of soundscape.

I don't think she's sold out I just think she's trying to stay popular and please her pop fans as well as her rap/hiphop fans
