Sure, music is subjective, and I don't mean to sound like I'm attacking you, but calling GGGB anything less than an extremely solid pop album is ridiculous to me. Seriously, you can't deny it has virtually no filler (except maybe Say It), and has had the best string of internationally successful singles of any female pop album this decade.
ITA with this. I'm a Rihanna fan, but her first two albums kinda sucked. GGGB however was excellent imho.

Also didn't something similar happen to TLC? They had a hit album and then bankruptcy.
Yeah, it's happened to a lot of people. TLC, Nsync, Toni Braxton etc.
