I've listened to this album a few times and I can actually say I enjoy this album. I wouldn't call myself much of a Rihanna fan, but I think she is solidifying her future legendary status with this fifth album. I'm having a much better reaction to Loud than what I had for Rated R. If you haven't heard it, you can check it out on Myspace. Just go to Music (you don't even have to log in) and search for Rihanna. Under Album results click on the album name, Loud.

    Love the way you lie part 2 >>> the first one

    There are some great songs on here (Whats my name, man down, ? , only girl are the standouts) but I felt like Rated R was her most complete and cohesive project. Cold Case Love, G4L, Wait your turn, rude boy >>>> anything on this album

    Loud is sandwiched in between Rihanna's latter critical successes & the former LPs released during her teens. The vocally matured Bajan forfeits 'album' for singles in that cohesion takes the back seat here but her catalog manages to avoid any (well, most) pitfalls. On the topic of experience enhancement, keep away from the [cloying] ballads -- COMPLICATED -- & you'll find yourself an exciting EP.

    ? is catchy, but it's just a rehash of Disturbia + Sexy ? . I like What's My Name and Love the way you lie part II. Oh and I don't know how she'll manage to sing some of these songs live :S
