misanthrope 15 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 People shouldn't be so harsh on the snippets though, it might not be that bad, but so far only Love Without Tragedy sounds good. It doesn't really sound like she progressed much from TTT which is sad but not unexpected from an artiste like her And my 3000th post was in a thread about Rihanna, what a waste I think its a progression from TTT. The only relation is the underlying theme of annoyance with tabloid gossip and judgement. Sonically I suppose you could argue its a typical Rihanna record but for me personally shes like the urban Britney Spears. Their music is pure pop. This Don't pay attention...Let them hate like true Gaga stans, the only thing they'll get back in the end is hate Why do people act like other fanbases aren't equally childish and abrasive?

It doesn't strike me as an obvious progression or difference though like from GGGB to Rated R to Loud, where the difference was clear. So far Unapologetic just sounds like a slight more dancey TTT :shrug: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far Unapologetic just sounds like a slight more dancey TTT You think so? I feel like Loud and TTT were a lot more closely related sonically. This album seems more polished than TTT and a little less rushed. Of course these are just snippets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far Unapologetic just sounds like a slight more dancey TTT If anything its dance version of Rated R. TTT was about s-x. Every song was about s-x. There is little to no songs solely about s-x on here. The songs sound like they are Rated R outtakes. The last half especially. But CB being on there runs it.

ElectricLover 0 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 The album as whole sounds like a weird fusion of her older albums, The Weeknd's Echoes of Silence and Kanye West Presents G.O.O.D. Music. I can't tell if it's good or bad yet, but it's a step up from TTT. Tracks I see being singles: Right Now (it's a Guetta track FFS, this is practically a given) Love Without Tragedy/Mother Mary (hope so, sounds like one of the album's gems tbh) What Now (pretty good, brings me back to GGGB and A Girl Like Me) Numb Tracks that sound good, but I don't see as singles: Lost In Paradise Stay Nobody's Business (I want to hate it so bad but I THAT BEAT. ) The ones I didn't mentioned weren't worth it tbh. EDIT: Forgot the rest of the snippets. Half of Me: At least it doesn't sound like Part of Me reminds me a bit of Cold Case Love, actually, but a little on the soft side. Aaaand the rest of the snippets got cut as I typed this. Awesome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can agree with this to some extent. I feel as though TTT's focus was on exploiting overt s-xuality for the sake of exploiting overt s-xuality. This album seems at least a little more introspective, of course nowhere near as serious as Rated R tried to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deacon 5 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Even if it was flawless you guys would say its **** though I have 40 Rihanna songs on my iPod - all of which I've personally paid for. I'm not going to hate her material for no reason. She annoys me, yes, but her music is usually on-point. TTT was a disappointment and I was hoping (not expecting) that she would improve with this album. But it doesn't sound like she did IMO. I'll give the full tracks a listen when they're released.

msclairvoyant 0 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Nobody's Business is giving me 90s r&b vibes and I'm loving it. Unsure of the other tracks at the moment though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
