Riot Poof 2,236 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 OK, I'm totally on board with Rihanna now, cuz ANTI slays. I've been playing this album on REPEAT + revisiting her repertoire. Unapologetic is so good too! ANTI is definitely a contender for being one of the best albums of the year for me (even though it currently has no competition). I love how it starts off with this alt-R&B feel and then morphs into the "timeless" music that Rihanna was talking about a year ago. I just wish that the 2015 singles were included on the album. Whatever. I added them to the tracklist anyways. Also, "Same Ol' Mistakes" is the JAM. It was admittedly a lazy cover, but since I never listened to the original prior to listening to ANTI, I don't really care. I feel like ANTI's gonna trigger a Rihanna phase. I'm looking forward to seeing my Rihanna scrobbles on last.fm increase. I already listened to her 150 times. I'm not a woman. I'm not a man. I am something that you'll never understand.

Bio 23,538 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The album is good, among her best. But calling it experimental is laughable. It's a trap r&b album with good songs that could use more work 'cause they sound unfinished. Also the tracklist is a complete mess, Kanye left the ship and Rihanna probably put the tracklist together without any thought to it. The songs are good tho, if she worked on them for 3 more months and arranged the tracklist better it would be even better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because a pop artist releases material that may not be as radio-friendly as their previous material doesn't make it "experimental." I'm not a woman. I'm not a man.

Phlop 4,773 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The album is different for her. Standout tracks to me are "Kiss It Better", "Work", "Same Ol' Mistakes", "Consideration" and "Needed Me". I want to put "Goodnight Gotham" there but its not a whole song which is unfortunate. However, I honestly dont understand why FourFive Seconds, Bitch Better Have My Money and American Oxygen were excluded. They are easily stronger than all the material on the album and fit the general visual as well. Some people say they dont fit, but she couldve put FFS somewhere between the slower second half, American Oxygen after SameOlMistakes and BBHMM near Pose. Spoiler 1. Consideration 2. James Joint 3. Kiss It Better 4. Work 5. Desperado 6. Woo 7. Needed Me 8. Yeah, I Said It 9. Same Ol' Mistakes 10. American Oxygen 11. Never Ending 12. Love On The Brain 13. Higher 14. Close To You 15. FourFiveSeconds 16. Goodnight Gotham 17. Bitch Better Have My Money 18. Pose 19. Sex With Me BYE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora 162 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 It's up there with Rated R. Such an amazing growth that I hope she continues in the future! The album gets better with every listen and Consideration, Kiss It Better, Desperado, Love On The Brain and Higher (even James Joint!) are all career highlights. I'm so excited for the tour to start now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychedelic 1,098 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 This stuff is really dope, I really like it and think it is brilliant. She really went all the way for a much more experimental sound. I see some already complaining about rih trying to be FKA Twigs or M.I.A. I don't think that is the case. These artists have always been experimental, and Rihanna being a makor global pop star and daring to put out something like this, is very defying, defining. She should be commended. Lots of pop stars have treid to compare their works to Madonna's Ray Of Luight when they think they've achieved their best sound... hmmm not really, but for Riahnna, I really feel this is her Ray of Light with no doubt. I'm certain she will manage to mark a defining point on her career with ANTI! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Anatomy 2,284 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Bruh. Not this being like one of the best pop girl albums i've heard in a minute. Next to Rated R this is like her Fame Monster. Best tracks by far: - Consideration - James Joint - Kiss it Better - Work - Desperado - Same Ol' Mistakes - Love on the Brain - Closer to You I mean the slayage is unreal.

Koreku 2,387 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Same Ol' Mistakes is a masterpiece. Rihanna did the song justice with her cover. You don't deserve a point of view if the only thing you see is you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's amazing how much she improved the song even though all that's different is the vocals. "Same Ol' Mistakes" is definitely my favorite off of ANTI. I'm not a woman. I'm not a man.

Danny91 347 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I made my own 18 track version of the album including BBHMM FFS and AO. I also made James Joint and higher into one song. A little bit like love without tragedy/mother Mary. And finally reordered the tracklisting. I have dl if anyone is interested PM me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
