I just spent two hours listening to Loud and Talk That Talk and I found myself skipping most of the non-album tracks. They just go on and on - nothing stands out.

Each album sounds like it has three good songs (which are quickly released as singles) and eight bad ones. If she can make three good songs, why can't she make 11? Is her potential so severely restricted?

Look at Beyonce - 4 was a filler free album if there was ever one.

Please do not bring up sales. It does not answer the question. And neither does a picture of Discipline.

I forget who explained how to build a Rihanna album? In one of these threads

Put in 2 electro house songs
Then add in 3 R&B/hip hop gems
A couple rock songs
A few dubstep songs
3 ballads
1 experimental song

[madonnas]

Because she's a singles artist.

[MikeFenty]

Personally to me the only Rih album that I skip alot are her 2 first albums
GGGB - Has Basically no fillers
RR - depends on your mood something you just skip them all,sometimes you don't
LOUD - Has 3fillers (Raining Men,Fading,Complicated)
TTT Only filler for me is We All Want Love

But I think it's because her albums go from Urban to Dance-Pop,some people only like her Urban music some only like her DancePop music.Maybe you prefer one of her side more than the other

[TheGeoKing]

She doesn't put enough time into them.

I have a totally different view - I think her albums have excellent replayability months after they come out. And I actually think her albums have very few filler. Loud has none for me & TTT's is Roc Me Out definitely, maybe Farewell & Red Lipstick.

I hope this thread is kept open. This is a good discussion though.

@ You clocking the reads before they've been fonted.

[The Ri-son!]

ask yourself this...why are they so mediocre TO YOU...this is your opinion niece...and you had to bring up beyonce of all people...seems transparent enough

[chris1991]

They all arent! GGGB, Rated R & Loud are far from mediocre!
Loud is pop perfection! WFl should of been on loud.

[MiMiLAMb!]

Quite Intriguing But Loud Is A Great Pop Album.

[BLaCKPoWeR]

Rihanna's discography is actually pretty good.

I don't think that's the case, because her singles show some versatility - she does her ballads, the more urban ones, the club smashes. I like them all. And then you have a track like... Roc Me Out...

I dunno, it seems like a lot of her album tracks have less thought put into them than the singles.

GGGB - Say It (is absolutely horrible trash), Lemme Get That, Question Existing
Rated R - None
Loud - None
Talk That Talk - Roc Me Out, Farewell

We All Want Love is one of my all-time favs of hers.

[Guero]

She honestly averages 4-5 good songs every album. The rest are forgettable.
