I will not be buying this album because I feel that I could be spending my money on better music. However I have a feeling that this album is going to be nothing like Loud, but more like the dark undertone of Rated R. When you look at the track list there are a couple of songs on there that were written for Rated R but didn't make the cut and are now being put onto Talk That Talk. Also I think her PR team want to change it up a bit and make her seem like a "serious artist" (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2058244/Rihanna-opts-comfort-glamour-black-white-onesie-cosy-socks.html), so I think they are done with that bubble gum pop sound that dominated the last era. We will see though. http://theofficialmusicjunkie.blogspot.com/
