[Touchdown]

Not a fan of Kiss It Better, its very bland.

Drake's part on Work is worthless, could have done without him.

My 2 favorites are Desperado and Love On The Brain which NEEDS to be the next single.

 

[Nasser]

I was hoping for another S&M

Spoiler

And no not bc the remix ft the legendary ms Britney Spears. It was a GOOD pop song

 

[cory64]

and she needs to perform LOTB at the Grammys

aljkdfshakjshd I hate Roc Nation they will never make anything smash

 

[Floridian]

Basic Pop Rihanna is over. I doubt we'll see that music side of her emphasized again.

 

[Phreaker]

SPIN calling the release "an amazing comedy of errors", poor Rih

 

[Vazra]

Look at BBHMM live performances and anything faster than that and she turns into a mess. Time for her to find something she can keep up with live.

 

[botty]

Kiss It Better is trending world wide.

Good night.

 

[Floridian]

Kiss It Better is definitely going to be a single. Rih may be dumb but she's not stupid enough to pass that up.

 

[Vazra]

Natalia/Teddy looking at twitter like

 

[Floridian]

I'm glad Glass John's outburst didn't make KIB scrapped. The album would've been dragged down quite a significant notch without it.

 

[Mau ®]

Listening from beginning to end. I'm on "Woo" and I'm not terribly impressed. It's just solid so far...

 

[The Flop]

I don't dl illegally, so I'll wait to Judge... Till then, let me keep giving Sia my coins.

 

[Floridian]

Today has been a legendary day.

 

[cory64]

It doesn't punch
It doesn't snatch
It's just a really cute and respectable album.

 

[Touchdown]

Wow Kanye is such a douche bag

 

[B-Dex]

I don't dl illegally, so I'll wait to Judge... Till then, let me keep giving Sia my coins.

Right sis? All these criminals.

 

[SaintZ]

Why wasn't Kiss It Better the lead single? I tolerate Work now but it sounds like an album filler tbh.

Currently on Love On The Brain and I really like it.

ETA: Mess at Higher being next. I couldn't last more than a minute. I suspect the Rhenna used the same substance as Lana when she recorded Yayo for Paradise tbh.

 

[Mau ®]

Yeah, I'd say the same. It ends very well though. LONTB +Higher + Close To You seal the whole thing on a good emotional note.

 

[Touchdown]

wait, this tweet is starting to go viral. Get that promo Mimi

 

[PInk Tape]

Wait, Skrillex worked on 4Minute's upcoming EP?

Lemme perch.

Spoiler

It's probably a leftover from Bieber's latest album.

Here's an audio teaser that they released today for the whole mini. It's the very first song.

No Love and Canvas tho

 

[Nasser]

wait, this tweet is starting to go viral. Get that promo Mimi

Oh my god

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Ok so yeah several random here and there listens in and it's a good album. I found myself going back to the same songs, I am not interested in listening to Work, Needed Me, Woo, and Desperado ever again in my entire life. However, Never Ending might just be my favorite song next to Consideration.

I've tried listening to Kiss It Better, I can't finish it... It's so bland.

So I guess: 5/14 songs I use.

You can give Jay-Z those coins now.

9/10 overall. Rhat came through with her experimental record.

 

[You Know Nothing]

I'd be lying if I said Kanye's fingergate wasn't giving me life.

 

[Courage]

Work, Kiss It Better and Consideration. I wish James Joint was longer.

Second half of the album kinda falters.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

I'd be lying if I said Kanye's fingergate wasn't giving me life.

Jdjdjfjfkfjfgldkansbf NO

 

[Floridian]

I wonder what those three could be.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

I wonder what those three could be.

Kill American Oxygen NOW and replace it with A Night

 

[Leona Lewis]

James Joint deserved better.

Yeah, I Said It got robbed.

The only decent tracks on this fucking thing end before they even begin.

And say no to ballads, Rhenna.

Anti is Tidal exclusive for a week. RIP Sales.

Update: Because of leaks, the album was released a few hours early and is now available.

The rumors are true: Rihanna’s ANTI is coming tomorrow, and it’s only going to be available on Tidal , representatives of the streaming platform shared exclusively with Forbes. The singer’s long-awaited eighth full length is set to premiere on Tidal tomorrow at 12:01 AM EST, and if you act fast, you’ll be able to secure a free download of the title as well.

ANTI will be exclusive to Tidal for its first full week of availability, which may hurt her sales, at least in the beginning. That might sound like a disincentive for any artist, especially when it’s so difficult to sell albums at all in these days, but it’s likely that between her sponsorship dollars from Samsung and her co-owner status at Tidal, she stands to benefit more financially from giving away copies through the right partners than by selling them.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

aaahahahahahahhaha rip ANTi. Dead on arrival tbh

Beyonce planned this out perfectly. Amazing.

 

[<+)O Robido O(+>]

Is the Kiss It Better leak different than the TiDAL version? If not, where is all this acclaim coming from?

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Making it so hard to not resort to piracy.

[paperheart]

Sia's "Broken Glass" is just everything. I can't even. The only song that I haven't liked so far is "Reaper". Due to this, I might have to give Sia my coins when her album drops.

 

[B-Dex]

Giving away the album for free. Rhat is true Nvay.

And you were right, there's a free option.

Artistic integrity chanteuse.

[Leona Lewis]

I just opened the link, put in a fake e-mail address, clicked the blue arrow, and the entire album immediately started to download.

The entire album.

So how does this even promote TIDAL again?

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

And you were right, there's a free option.

Wat.

Is this a trap. It let me do it even though I haven't signed up on Tidal.

 

[<+)O Robido O(+>]

It hurts my spirit to say this, but Anti is trash. I don't even want to listen to it again.

 

[Floridian]

Wat.

Is this a trap. It let me do it even though I haven't signed up on Tidal.

Just use an email and pass. No credit card info even needed

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

Yea just did. Thanks for the link.

So yeah...


Nothing on here is grabbing me right away but maybe it'll be a grower of an album.

wait!! Are they trying to get free signups for TIDAL by giving away Rihanna's album for free?

edit: Rih needs to hire Swift's lawyers and SUE Jay Z

you literally don't even need to sign up for tidal

what the fuck

 

[Floridian]

Today has been a mind trip. Like Rih's era... just.... idk how to really articulate it.

The Last ANTI-diary room opened today. It was supposed to be a Tidal Exclusive release tomorrow for a week. It ended up getting leaked early, then they just passed that off and released it anyway. And now there's free copies being passed around legally of the album.

Rihanna has not said one word about this situation....

 

[botty]

Rihanna stans have nothing now.
