^ You might want to take it to heart, lol.


I was referring to 'iTune has a highly restrictive and crazy policy for apps and names.' that you said..

I find that weird.

I think a greatest hits compilation is due. She has plenty to compile, if you count her Hot 100 top 10 hits:

01 Pon de Replay
02 SOS
03 Unfaithful
04 Umbrella
05 Hate That I Love You
06 Don't Stop the Music
07 Take a Bow
08 Disturbia
09 Russian Roulette
10 Hard
11 Rude Boy
12 Only Girl (In the World)
13 What's My Name?
14 S&M
15 Cheers (Drink to That)
16 We Found Love
17 Where Have You Been
18 Diamonds

...plus whatever singles become popular from Unapologetic and if a new song is included, which is getting common enough.

Do you even read?

Pronouns?
No no no
In this case, it's an adverb.
It's usually an adjective.

A pronoun is: it, me, my, they, he, him, etc...

^ i dont think the poster meant pronouns... but pronounce?

and... i love english... lol.. writing is a passion!

Oh pronouncing the word?
Lol that makes sense :p

I have to know this for my damned syntax class.
It isn't beautiful like diamonds in the sky.

^ lol... i do love that song...
There are a very few amount of songs that I like on this album... typical for a Rihanna album, so i am happy with it.

I actually like PhFresh outff the Runway tbh
Its so bad that its amazing.

That and diamonds.

Dear Lord, trying to listen to the first half of the album is killer. I almost died it was so bad. All the songs (minus Diamonds) sound like horribad interlude filler things. But after Jump the album becomes slightly better. Still have yet to listen to anything after Love Without Tragedy / Mother Mary. I like that Diamonds remix though; the first one.

^THANK YOU omg ugh. I only like What Now, and Diamonds is acceptable I guess.

the later half of the album (the middle really) is nice... the rest could have been dropped...
make this an ep...

Rihanna got her first no1 album with this album!
Congratulations!


(i wonder how haters will shade Rihanna now...)

^ I think its about time... She has had plenty of number 1 singles and she deserves this, even if the album is so-so

LMFAO the one album of Rihanna's I actually don't like as much gets #1.

Not a Riri hater. I love all of her other albums, but I was disappointed when I bought this one.

Honestly, Fresh off the runway reminds me the phrase "fresh off the boat".

Loud deserved to be #1 not unapologetic. its her worst album ever. the only song I like is Right Now and maybe nobodys business

it's "lololol she needed 7 tries to finally get #1 lololol" now

Rihanna had lots of input with the album? If Mother Mary was her input I'm happy.

She is credited on nearly 2/3's of the album; including Love Without Tragedy / Mother Mary

okay, lol... i found this funny because how she looked... and then it hit me.,..
the twinkies! lol

Is she credited as one of the main writers though or is it the Beyonce-esque situation of being a co-writer everywhere but never having written anything herself? Because if she is credited with 2-8 other people that's...not impressive and could be something as little as changing one or two lines of the lyrics slightly.

I'm glad to hear she was involved in one way or another with many songs though, even if I don't like them, it's a sign of taking more control.

Well, that's what you said on your twitter, right?

Yeah, I visit your twitter~~~

Oh, I was trolling that guy a bit and forgot about it again xD I had to look up my own tweet just now...that's embarrassing...

(yay for visiting my twitter :3 )

Well, for LWT/MM she only worked with two other people. So I applaud her for that. Same with Fire Bomb off of Rated R. Think she only worked with one or two people for that flawless song.

^Fawk. I LOVE Fire Bomb. Knowing that makes me really happy.

So were you guys around for the Stay craze? The damn radio played that shit 24/7 I swear. First few times hearing that song it was good. Then it became just like Party Rock Anthem to the point where it plagued the radios.

Pour It Up video just came out as well. RIRI TWERKING ON DA THRONE TBH

The song was strangely intriguing.

The colors in the video were really cool. The green stripper smoke scenes were great looking haha.

But it's definitely nothing I'd really listen to on a regular basis.

The song has been out since forever, but I love the concept for the video.

"Don't care bout what I spend, still got my money"
It doesn't look like that XD

Anyway, ok song for an infamously bad that it's good song

The song and the video are really really really bad, tbh.

That is such a boring song...

The song is so damn awesome LMAO! My anthem at the moment. Can't believe I didn't notice it earlier when Unapologetic first came out.

We've had an album in November from her for the past 4 years...
what are the chances for her to do it again?

Very slim.

I dislike Pour It Up, I was hoping she would make a PV for Jump, that's an awesome song!

That article was wild lol

Our prayers for #R8 are being heard!
Rihanna said that the album will drop all at once!
Keep those prayers going!

i havent really liked any of the songs from this album so far...
Im disappointed in her. :(

I actually love Bitch Better Have My Money after hating it at first. American Oxygen is really good too.

She finally announced the album title and artwork. Album is titled "Anti"

I'll still call it R8 tbh
The artwork is meh

I am not looking forward this album at all, based on the first few leading songs.

Meh to me

I'm actually really enjoying all the songs she has released for this era. Well, I've only heard Bitch Better Have My Money and American Oxygen lol. Can't wait!

ANTI IS OUT or rather LEAKED

It's free on TIDAL (even if you're not a member). I'm enjoying ANTI, for the first time in ages I can listen to one of her albums from beginning to end without skipping anything.

Yeah, got it from her official Instagram, it is really cool to get it for free from her directly.
Gonna listen to it now!

I had zero expectations for ANTI, but I love it. Even if the last 4 songs are totally different from the rest of the album.

The only songs I don't really like are Love on the Brain and Higher because I don't think her voice works with them. I could see someone like Bey singing LotB, but not her lol.

^ I'm the opposite since I adored Love On the Brain lol Very surprised with this album though. I'm glad after the endless waiting we finally got it although I do feel a bit sorry for Samsung and Rihanna that it leaked early. Anyways, I really enjoyed the album! The entire vibe is so chill. I feel like she could have kept BBHMM but whatever. Definitely buying this on vinyl if it get's released.

I'm extremely bitter she didn't include BBHMM and American Oxygen. Those songs were amazing and I really wanted them to be on a physical release. Is there any news on when Rihanna plans on releasing Anti physically?

After one round of listening I can say It's not one of my favourite albums.
Riri definitely got pretty anilcimactic with her music, I do prefer her music when it's a bit more pop and easier accessible. Currently it's kind of dragging in how the songas are structured. Though I'm glad BBHMM and American Oxygen aren't on it as both songs don't do much for me and I can listen to the album through.

Overall I really like Desperado and the later part of the album from Same Ol Mistakes onwards. I dig that retro vibe that's going on in that part of the album. Actually it somehow reminds me of a Quantin Tarantino film in regards to his music choices. :laugh
Gonna buy it for sure though, as I own all of her albums.

I agree with you on evefy single word u say. I like the same songs as you do and I like her more poppier stuff more,too.

I got this Quentin Tarantino vibe, too :-D

I think Kiss It Better is my favorite track so far.

It says on Wikipedia there will be a physical release worldwide February 5th.

Looking at the album as a whole, a work of art in itself, I can see why the singles weren't included. Not only is the sound she went for with Anti very different but so is the tone. But I would like a release with the 3 singles from 2015 included, even maybe on a separate disc or something.

Rihanna won me over with this album. I've listened to her previous albums and was never impressed. Her singles always did it for me, simply amazing production. But I always felt the album tracks were lazy. Anti is pure gold for me.

Yes, ANTI will be released 5th February worldwide.
It's up on amazon since today.
Only the normal edition so far though. I'm waiting for the deluxe edition with those 3 bonus songs.
The bonus songs are already available on iTunes:

@~StarCatcher~: :D

I'm with you on this one. Its a good pop song.

As for the rest of the album, its very hit & miss. I'm hoping it plays well live on the Anti Tour

Apparently Kiss It Better and Needed Me are going to be the next singles from ANTI. According to her Twitter, the video for Kiss It Better is going to be released on Thursday at noon. I'm so happy because it's my favorite track :yes

I've come to realize I never posted my thoughts on the album.

ANTI is extremely different... But to be honest, there weren't many songs that had me coming back to listen to the album. The only songs I listen to are Work and James Joint. There just isn't much appeal in the other songs for me. I understand that Rihanna is sorta doin' her own thing now, but it wouldn't have hurt to include some more manufactured pop songs lol. But overall, I'm disappointed. The four year wait wasn't really worth it, although I will admit; every time I hear Work in the club I get HELLA low. Fantastic song. ALSO STILL BITTER SHE DIDN'T INCLUDE BBHMM, AMERICAN OXYGEN AND FOURFIVESECONDS T_T
