It's only 8 tracks, but only a year after a full album. It feels like a re-release, even though she says it's not, and you can buy the 8 tracks only for less than the price of a 'proper' album.

"Frankly, with it launching on the same day as Rihanna, I’ll take Rihanna’s effort instead. It just seems a lot more creative."

Def Jam employees are working overtime again. Most of the songs on Rihanna's latest album sound very similar too: depressing ballads or whiny vocals to rock music- nothing we haven't heard before. GGGB was a wide variety, but the latest one isn't. I can't wait for Gaga's album (THE FAME and THE FAME MONSTER).

I'm not crazy about the clips, but most of the time you can't tell from 30 seconds. The same goes for Rihanna's album too. Cold Case Love sounded just like every other song, but the entire track was great when it got into full swing.

Rihanna will win the chart battle because hers is a new album, not a year old one with new tracks.
