As TGJ readers can tell, it’s apparently Rihanna day.
The diva, who set the net alight this morning with ‘Work’ – the Drake-assisted (official) new single from her long-awaited 8th album ‘Anti’ – has been on a consistent roll since the tune’s unveiling. For, shortly after the song zoomed to the top spot of digital charts, Ri followed up with a full stream of its parent project via Tidal.
Now, with fans’ appetites in overdrive for what the era has to offer, she’s finally unlocked the 8th and final door of her Samsung sponsored ‘Anti’-diary. See it below:
OK RIHANNA I SEE YOU!!! I’m sad Only If For a Night is not on Anti but I’m ready for a listen after Serena’s Match lol
What happened to Serena’s match?
Serena advanced to the Finals!!! And Samsung gifted me Anti for free!!!!! If u got a galaxy s6 edge plus sign up to receive your valid official download from Antidiary.com!
Look at all these haters… HIVE standing up on que…. Kiii
1. Rihanna setting trends. Older tired bishes be struggle lapping behind this young ICONiC superstar in record sales, breaking records and a slew of iconic hits!
..
2. There is no B6 without R8. No baddie bey without Badgalriri. No FLOP blonde ATTEMPT at a short hairdo, without Rihanna’s internationally recognized, and widely celebrated short hairdo.
..
3. Didn’t y’all swear up and down that the real reason why BYE compressed 20 FLOP €UM guzzling “ground breaking” anthems on 1 album
Is because she luuuuv her fans? Soooooo..:./WHY are you here???
Let me enlighten you… The ratio in quality of music between the global ICON and BYE is 3-1.
4. Rihanna doesn’t have to focus on quantity of her singles on ANTI when she already has the quality on LOCK!
5. The HIve cannot attempt to speak on quality of music when 7/11 exists lol. Someone please educate a certain fan base on how “TIMELESS”
Music is determined.
We know that u really want to thank Rihanna for giving your eardrums LIFE but can’t… Loooool. Enjoy the music as u diligently add them to your playlist on the DL.
Lol but the Navy does the same thing on que.yall fan bases kill me. Let these women make their music and chill. At the end of the day yall mfs be still listening to both of them. Whether it’s to post something negative, or because you like her but don’t want to admit it you all do it. These women are both talented and awarded properly in their own respects. Let it go the s*** is old now. Tearing one artist down is not going to help your fav.
Tidal? I beg your pardon! I’ll be more than happy to wait impatiently for Apple Music, thank you very much! Plus, the only “Tidal” I’d give any time of day to is Fiona Apple’s debut album.
SLAY! Love this new body of work, Rih. Yes it’s messy that the album was unlocked before your final door but you still did that!! Great job, Navy!!
Now, let the hating commence..
Why Tidal? Adel did great without anything called Tidal. The song Work goes for $3.99 on Tidal which you have to subscribe to buy music from there. Rip off big time. Her fans being they are “so powerful should have told her to get it on iTunes. This song may be #1 and it’s a hot song but her album sales is very questionable. Wonder if Ani will be sold in stores. If the single is $3.99 at Tidal wonder how much is the album. SMH
Is it still a tidal exclusive? Even tho its been leaked lol….
What the f*** Are you talking bout? I bought the Song for a normal price off of iTunes yesterday
I’m ready pissed that “A Night” isn’t on the album after all that teasing & “Nothing’s promised ” but the album is decent, I’m ready for B6 now
It’s on the deluxe. They changed the name to goodnight Gotham
I heard she still didn’t sing on the song smh but I know “Pose” going to slay
Oh, and it’s confirmed that there’s gonna be a deluxe edition with three extra bonus tracks, although I don’t know if they’ll be new or the previously released singles.
So I downloaded the album when I saw that link popped up to gt my first impression on it. Now, don’t be mad Rihanna fans because from that impression I actually think it’s a solid album! So Rihanna will be taking my coins for the FIRST TIME for her album. “Work” won’t last too long, love the song, it kept me whining up all day today as I went to work but the song isn’t fruitful. I give the album 9.5/10 for now. Her song with SZA proved to showcase her vocals in a greater light. Hmmm….maybe Rihanna should be booking herself to sing the national anthem. Sad the album leak but I’m buying it! ??
I live for you so will I it’s a great album she has grown tremendously especially with Love On the Brain!!! She will be getting my coins.Queen Iggy,K.Michelle,and Rihanna not to mention Dumblonde all albums will be paid
I just can’t believe it’s nothing but ballads ?
AND TINASHE NEEDS TO GET A RELEASE DAY SO THIS YEAR IS COMPLETE FOR ME! RCA IS MESSING UP BIG TIME!
HASHTAG: #Joyride
We all know RCA is the shittiest label out there. They have greatest artists but their promo department is crap. Yet, Joyride’s campaign is way better than ANTI
I thought it’ll Be released tomorrow? HDD still says Jan 29th
The album is solid…it’s good in fact but how is she going to pretend like those 3 singles never happened lmao like she didn’t even include them in the album ?
For the first time in earth’s existence, I fully agree with your comment.
Nice try Rashad. I’m not giving FLOPDAL a single click much less a listen.
The production of kiss it better takes the cake. Really, no matter who sang that, that is one hell of a slow jam.
Yea that’s my favorite on the album
That’s my fav from the album. It needs to be a single.
What song are u talking about? No song called kiss it on the album???????????
Ok, but can we stream it on Apple Music?? I diss Rihanna a lot, but I’m still checking for her musically.
We all know u a fan boo boo.
?
I’m really feeling this album, I aboslutely love James Joint, Close To You, Kiss It better …everything else is still growing on me.
The way Rihanna was handling this album I thought she was gonna pull a close project that of Janet’ Velvet Rope.
Kiss it better is actually my favorite song , the album is pretty solid . Very different for her, I’m glad she tried something different
OMG “Same Old Mistakes” sounds so awesome it sounds like something Tinashe would do. I love this side of Rihanna. I feel like she is going to convert me into an extreme fan of hers lol hehe! This is really an eclectic album.
That Song is By tame Impala. Rihanna just covered it
She will definitely get my coins because she’s my queen ! I actually like it just as much as unapologetic! I want her to slay the Grammys & I hope she joins Coldplay at the superbowl, that exposure will cause ANTI to slay , either way she will sell she’ll be fine
Same Ole Mistake is a remake to Tame Impala – New Person, Same Old Mistakes.
?????? this album is solid from bottom to top. like I get it now. Anti what she usually puts out. I guess you’ guys will get the urban ghetto/ Twerk music from ratchet bey when she releases. By the way where is hymn. For the weekend or night with Coldplay? That leaked and released and it’s silent night! Ki! trend with anti!
the first single is not really representative of her album. Why did she choose work? she should have chosen one of those mid tempos
Common, you’ve got to think outside of the box. Its the same reason they released “Opps Oh My” for Tweet’s debut vs a song like “smoking cigarettes”. Young people buy albums, club boppers buy albums. They want to hear a song like Work. Grown and s*** folks, appreciate the other tracks, but have responsibilities and dat buy albums as much.
Love On The Brain is hands down the best song on the album.
Heard the album. It’s a 6/10 for me. Best tracks are Consideration, Desperado, Kiss It Better, James Joint. The others just fade/melt into each other creating a greyish musical mess. Like Work for example
I’m a Navy or Die until the death of moi, but I’m not enjoying this. I thought it was going to be EPIC, TIMELESS, AND PURELY ICONIC! It is not. It is too ballad/mid-tempo for my liking. However, the stand out tracks are EVERYTHING. Was it worth the wait? NOPE. Is it still worth a listen tho? YES. NP: James Joint
Yeah, I agree. I need songs that are either slow or fast. Most of the songs on the album are somewhere in the middle. That’s where I got lost.
lol hold on didn’t sza tweet once that rihanna can’t sing? she’s on the album now
She most certainly did. I thought I was the only one surprised to see that feature.
Coins are coins and bills gotta be paid I guess.
Now all she needs is killer visuals & this will really slay!!
Okay you gotta admit the album is good. I love the direction and her vocals have improved. Not a stan but a fan who will gladly be purchasing when it becomes available at Walmart or Target. I hope she has deluxe with additional songs. I’m diggin her Love on the brain shes paying homage to Prince on that track.
The deluxe version comes out Friday with 3 additional songs
Yeah, the 3 she already released. Bbhmm, FFS, and AO.
Ki! Hive don’t know if they want to throw shade or like anti. ” oh this and that is good, but some are blah blah blah” get out of here? All that I’m not going to be purchasing or downloading. ??? anyways pose, goodnight Gotham, and s** with me are out Friday for the iTunes drop!
@rihboy
Why purchase the album, when you can download it for free ?
Lol its been LEAKED.
2nd CD better come thru, with Nothing’s Promised & Pretty Nonsense, I’ve seen a couple stans tweet there’s still another big surprise although the album is already out
It’s okay. Not her absolute best album but definitely not her worst. Love on the brain did impress me for Rih doe. Very Etta James. I don’t care for the song itself but her vocal contribution to the song is probably the most effort I’ve ever heard her put forth. ???? I only really like desperado and woo. My biggest critique is that the music is very production heavy. Meaning, There’s a difference between a producer being featured on a singer’s track and a singer being featured on a producer’s track. I’m talking about the way that Mikewill and Dj Khaled have their own songs. You don’t have to sing on a song in order for it to be yours, because producers have their own musical profiles and complexes. Its pretty clear whose song it is. This album sounds like a producers album. Not a singers album. The heavy beats make it sound like Rihanna is a featured artist on her own album. It might as well have all of the producers’ names on the cover. 6/10.
I’M NOT gonna lie i thought the exact same thing. I still like it though it’s very different from her. I was expecting bangers but she went grunge/pop-rock.
As I understand what you mean about the sounds of different producers, but that is exactly what she is. Although different in composition and style, every song is a damn Rihanna song where no one else mainstream could ever sing. She is every mellinneal producers’ muse. She took a bunch of different individual sounds and concepts then created a cohesive sound that she wanted to be Rihanna. As
The album is amazing. From top to bottom a great listen, top notch production and writing. Without a doubt her best album full of gems.

Stand Out Tracks: Consideration, Kiss It Better, Desperado, Same Ol’ Mistakes, Love on the Brain, Close to You

Rating: 9.5/10
Yasssss. I agree 100%.
I listened to the entire album, and I’ll say that its really weird. General pop audiences will NOT like this album. With that being said, this is by far her vocal effort and most unique yet. Her message is that she is ANTI Rihanna the pop star. She wants to be Rihanna an artist with her own sound.
Okay, so it’s not just me. The album is verrryyy weird. General audiences who buy radio friendly music definitely wont like this album, I can already kind of tell from twitter actually. But, This has to be the most vocal effort i’ve ever heard from her. Her music content has matured. Her voice has matured. My only real problem with the album is that it’s overproduced.
I def. think that a blunt is needed to understand it. And yes, her vocals are crazy. She has matured as person and musically. This her to “Pimp A Butterfly” album. It’s a cohesive sound that is completely different compared to their previous works. Furthermore, outside of “Work”, it’s not for radio. It’s for smoke circles in college dorm rooms.
Yeah i was thinking that. I was expecting a beat to drop on every other song but that didn’t happen. It was more like a “sound” she was going for. I think it’s hard to swallow cuz it’s rihanna and not like Frank ocean or something you know? I mean i like anti but i honestly need more time with it. However rihanna did the same thing with “we found love” at that time no one cared about mainstream edm/trance music then everyone copied her.
I TOLD YOU!!!!!! I told you it would be a tidal and samsung exclusive before the general release, so eat that humble pie BIATCH!
I just noticed my girl Natalia Kills co wrote on Kiss It Better.
Now where is her album? She’s another one who doesn’t play around. Loved her first album so much.
–
Why is the Cedric Hamilton stan promoting links? As if it won’t outsell all their faves last four albums together……. LMAO hehe. ?
–
P.s Chris Brown should take some notes from her on how to make an album with some evolution in it because he has none.
Natalia Kills quit being Natalia Kills. She’s done doing pop music and has now formed a rock band
Really? Cries ??
Lol that’s it ? 4 years for that overproduced mess, well kiss it better is cute
4 years of your anticipation. We know kiss it better is cute boo. Don’t need your critique.
Samsung is giving out the album until supply last right now.
I can’t she re-did my favorite Tame Impala with “Same Ol Mistakes.” For those who don’t know, Tame Impala is a psychedelic rock band. Yeah…The album is that weird
lmfao I had to make a quick come back and EXIT left right after
.
I mean who releases an album in January
.
The flops keep writing themselves
Why you on a rih post you support two whiteprivilege b****** gtfoh get off queen rih posthe thirst is real bey voice is for ratchet ghetto music rih is versatile sings rock pop anything pop music do not last
*cough cough* 4 *cough cough*
‘Higher’ is a bit of a let down. The song isn’t the problem, its the execution. No tea no shade, It seriously took five minutes for me to get my hearing back. She literally screamed the notes.
After illegally downloading this I have to say
.
I REGRET IT
.
24MB for what? This trash?
Sounds like someone is broke with a 1GB data plan. Poor you. Hahahahahah! Prepaid got the haters mad!
DEATH!!!!!!! More like 500MB data plan on a budget network
Yes Rihanna Yes Yes Yes Yes ☺ I literally wanna cry cause I’m so proud of her I knew she could do it , forget what the charts say & all that crap …. I’m happy that she’s not giving up no matter what the haters say , I’m happy 4 her … the same ones who said it was terrible are bopping to it like c’mon the same ones who doubted her album wouldn’t be here , You waited around 4 it 2 release just as we did YES YOU ” BEYHIVES , C-SQUARD , JanetTROLLS ” …. let Rihanna shine & stfu … f*** a platinum gold all that who cares who sold what world wide , what happened to enjoying the music ,
Rih Higher gave me a headache but you did your thang on kiss it better . I am listening to work and it should of had more lyrics to it you said work work work for about 3 mins lol ? I know when I hear it on the radio i will do a little bop to it but other than that it needs to grow on me hopefully when i hear the other songs it makes up for the rest of the album.
Go listen to a dance hall song other than work she actually had more lyrics than most. “Standing in the sun” cough cough
A “BEYONCE”gone horribly wrong
Yeah I Said It” is my personal favorite. It’s this grown love song that just makes you want to fvck
Oh “Kiss It Better” is that mvtherfucking song!
Egg on the haters face! ? ?
Next level ish right here! The wait is over.
Where is this next level “ish” that you speak of?
The whole album, but you have a old BlackBerry, you can’t get it. Lol
One thing is for sure, the HIVE+ can NO LONGER claim that Rihanna can’t sing. She just debunked that theory
She’s improved but she’s still not a good vocal technician. Have you listened to “higher? She was singing outside of her range the whole time.
Bissshhh. She just gave 12 songs with AMAZING vocals. She proved that her voice is ICONIC. It may not be nowhere near Whitney or Mariah, but she proved that they are indeed unique and will be remembered.
I think she’s improved, for sure. But you’ve jumped ahead. Rihanna can’t debunk that theory from a studio album listen. The only way for Rihanna to debunk a theory like that is for her to slay the songs LIVE. She couldn’t slay ‘higher’ with the help of studio engineering, how’s she gonna do it live???
She couldn’t even slay “higher” in the studio though…..
As for the lead single “Work”, well she talked singed throughout the whole song per usual.
Rihannas not a good singer. That simple.
I’m sure she can SLAY Higher live, but since you’re so interested, go buy a ticket to the ANTI world tour and see for yourself. I’m going on March 15 in Miami. You could be in my group if you’d like
@ispeak
Rihanna isnt a good vocalist or performer though. So why wouldn’t we want to see her live?
*would
Stop putting 20 on 10 lol. The b**** was off key the entire song. She’s a studio artist. I have never seen any source of relevance praise rihanna for being a stellar vocalist, and neither have you. Because she isn’t one !
She isn’t a vocalist. So. Vocals didn’t help any of beys singles tho. How many number 1s does she have ? Because top songs clearly don’t need stellar vocalist to keep them stop the charts for several weeks! Rihanna did it back to back. Can’t say the same for bey. That’s when she recanted and started throwing shade talking about she makes record ms not singles???. Bye Tyler go back to listening to anti on your zippy. Or did you download? ????
Lmao. Girl bye. “Higher” and “Love brain” sound like struggle with those strained vocals sounding like someone’s wiping a window
What do u think about the album lol?
She can obviously do d basics so could Britney.where is she now?…she still doesn’t have vocal chops.no sir.
I really don’t care that the singles didn’t make the cut, and I’m sure BBHMM will be one of the deluxe tracks that’ll be out on Friday. I just feel like she had material for 20 tracks at least. At least she’s giving it away for free.
If she’s smart, the physical edition will have exclusive material. I really want the album to do well, but I just don’t see how.
Maybe this is one of those “the sales aren’t important” situation.
Tidal only have a million subscribers and not everyone have a Samsung phone (poor them), so you have a whole audience from iPhone users to physical copy buyers that will buy.
Love on the Brain and Never Ending are standouts so far. Here’s your timeless music pest. I remember Higher snippet and it’s strainy. Oh nevermind, it’s an outro.
If this is the “Ray of Light” moment that you were talking about, every member of the Navy should discharge them selves asap.
I don’t like Madonna, so those words never came out of my mouth. I did say that this may be her Velvet Ripe, but then again, Rated R is her Velvet Rope. I never even heard Voice On Light.
Lol mkay.
You are so simple. A “timeless” song cannot be determined over the course of one night. Nor can it be determined by one individual. A song must experience and endure time in order to be “timeless”. Nice try. #SchoolIsCool
I assumed the Pest meant classic 60s sound when they say timeless. If that the case. Then why you let the pest ask where is her timeless music for over a year? Nice try. To me timeless doesn’t have a time stamp in its sound. Bye bye now.
Screams!!!! So in other words, you don’t know what the word timeless means?!? Lmao. “To me… Timeless doesn’t have to have a time stamp in its sound…” Death at you trying to redefine a word that you don’t understand. In order for a song to be timeless, it must transcend TIME. Hence the word, TIMEless. You’ve drawn a conclusion with irrelevant criteria. NICE TRY!! But some of us have finished primary school. Back to class you go. ?
Four Five would had fitted on this album, but it should had be for the Home Soundtrack. BBHMM doesn’t fit, but that still the jam. As was just for Tidal, it was never mentioned to be on an album. I can see them being on a SP or a Target exclusive. But I have them, so doesn’t matter.
American Oxygen was just for Tidal. Clearly.
Omg their playing it ob radio in trinidad already………people already requezting consideration and desperado…this album is a solid 10
Just in time as Easter season is around the corner and it will be carnival time in the Caribbean by them!
Some people have never ventured outside of their domestic territories as it is mostly expensive to do so and as such have not been exposed to cultural festivities worldwide. That’s ok though.. Google and YouTube saws the day.
#WORK
Tbh I think BBHMM should of been included. It fits well with the theme. But for her fans, I understand I would rather not as I would want to hear new songs instead.
Like, I hope Tinashe doesn’t add PLAYER on the album but it will be there….
Congrats to Travis Scott for this direction in this.
Why do I think that ceazy guy producer made “Woo”? I thought of him the whole time with his crazy ass lol hehe.
Player will definitely be on the album. Tinashe just need to find someone to give her 3 hit singles and the rest can be her. I’m an album person, so I get her, but to grab sales, she need radii hits. Her album cuts are great.
Honestly, I’m mad that she didn’t include the three songs in the album. I don’t care what NO ONE says, American Oxygen is a smash. Plus, 45 would’ve fit, and there’s nothing more iconic than having a Beatle in your album catalog. Plus, BBHMM would’ve gave it some fun which is missing.
Neh, it would of took up room and it would had made the album look delayed. You want them? Buy them and paste them in the same folder and BOOM, you have those songs on there.
Again as I always say I’m a fan of many artist and I love this album I think it’s truly artistically different and really great, but can everyone please take a moment to realize Love on the Brain sounds like super power by Beyonce or is it just me ? Either way again I’m not a crazy Stan i love many artist the album gets 8.5/10 from me and probably would of got a 9 if only for a night was on it
WTF!! why RiRi?? Why did you have to scalp us like this?
“Work” makes sense now.It fits the album’s sound/ production. What kind of legendary slayage!
Higher, kiss it better, same ol mistakes, Work, Needed me!! This girl went and did the opposite of what everyone thought.This is not a pop album, definitely different from her previous work. I hate to admit this but glass John was right.Kiss it Better is a gem.If she releases it your favs are fu*k! Good job RiRi
Love this f****** album
Exactly! This is not a pop album at all. She’s ANTI pop. When I first heard “Kiss It Better” last year, I hated it, but now this sh*t is a classic. This needs to be single #2.
That f****** electric guitar in kiss it better was genius,the chorus is s e x y.Now I see why Glass John was ranting lmaoo.If she passes this she’s crazy.This is starting to become my fav album by her.
That chorus on “Love On the Brain” is killer and that last note is every damn thing!
Alright, so far Never Ending is my favorite. So nice and beautiful. I see it being the 2nd single. Give it time tho.
So let me get this straight, not only is rihanna a lackluster singer…
This self titled rip offs release was just RUINED by Tidal lol. It wasnt just leaked but officially released as a Tidal exclusive. Yet, you still tryin to talk s***?
B**** why are you so cocky again? Lol
kiii at her using Samsung for sales
SAMSUNG and Rihanna are using each other.
The blinding light radiating from the international superstar has OFFICIALLY overshadowed BYE!
We know u all lowkey wanted Rih and BYE collab. Not happening.
Lol let’s chat about the real reason the HIVE is here. Hell this is the only WAY someone is willing to acknowledge or discuss BYE!!
You better piggy back off RIHANNA’s success..
When can bey get her own shine? Oh she tried with the gimmick and that didn’t last long.
And the SEETHING continues lmaoooo
SLAYANNA!!!!
Lol how can u call self titled a gimmick when rihannas using an outlet like Samsung to help boost her sales???
U mad because no one uses BYE anymore? Kiiiiiiii
The later half is the best to me. This is my driving on the highway album. Her best album to date. Worth the wait, the wait is over. And I get a 60s/70s Beatles Abby Road bike from Same Ol Mistakes.
With 90s Hip hop. This album is a trip!
well Folks Rihanna Will Be The Greatest Artist Of All Time WATCH lol …. this album solidifies it. I’m not saying this to put any artist down I mean look at Rihanna ☺? she has talent & skills even Beyoncé pick her b4 Tearrai Mari. ” ALLEGEDLY ” lol & Beyoncé will go down as Greatest Artist Of All Time as well. ? not Album/Singles sales but Impact…
This album is so weird sometimes it sounds like a Kurt Cobain record but I like it. It’s very interesting… *shrugs*
“Only If For A Night” has been retitled “Goodnight Gotham” which will be included on the deluxe edition out this Friday!
Also “Pose” & “S** with me”.
@Tyler, First off Rihanna is giving the damn album out for free! Second, Rihanna doesn’t need Samumsung; Samsung needs Rihanna. You remember hearing about her being THE most marketable celebrity just the other day. Yea…keep on hatin
Lol Nobody is hating on this leaked Tidal exclusive. TRUST ME!
Beyonce didn’t need a sponsor to give away her albums for FREE. She didn’t need assistance from Samsung. She sold millions off of her name alone.
I was just confused as to how WINTZ could call self titled a ‘gimmick” when it stans for this mess…
This is officially my favorite album Rihanna has ever done, it is absolutely incredible. Kiss it better takes the cake.
‘
Hurry up and put this on iTunes Rih so I can purchase the hell out of it.
I think Kiss it Better should be released Asap.I’m getting a Prince vibe from it.
OMG!!!! The Album is brilliant!!! In my opinion her best album so far because it is a journey it sits as body of work! Well Done RiRt and she really lived by the name Anti be doing things Anti establishment and giving away the album as a Free Gift that was noble of her!
let’s not forget Beyoncé used Verizon Promo for ” BDAY or DIL ” era 2 boost her sales , so let’s not girls …. TREAD LIGHTLY ? …. #CLOCKt
Verizon never gave away any of Beyonces albums away for free. So u ain’t clockin nobody.
Rihanna is doing the same thing that the Navy was dragging Jay Z for during his Magna Carta release.
You thought you knew, but you didn’t #CLOCKED
Feeling the album Rih. Very different from your past projects. However I am not paying to hear those vocals in concert. I really hope the rumors of two albums are true because when you hit that stage in Dallas March 10th I’m expecting to have a good time not go to sleep. That’s what Adele is for.
Why the album is for free?
Plus you can have a day trial for free without credit card infos
Ok, i’m surprised but i’m going to listen now
Where can I download this for free, the hell with Tidal, smh!
The album is so phūcking amazing. My “Higher” is really a treat. Her vocals are on point. Production is of the highest calibre. I love it. ???
I bought “Work” immediately when Rihanna posted the link. No account is needed so that’s cool. I wish I bought it on iTunes, but nonetheless, it is #1 Worldwide and in over 70 countries.
What did all those dumb ass rooms have to do with this dry, anticlimactic ass music? Next!
excuse me the word FREE don’t come in that sentence but AGAIN she used a campaign to promote her single off ” IASF” as well as The Pepsi campaign to promote ” grown woman ” that was never released on the album but a visual on the album lol since you know so much about your Fav… #CLOCKt back once again don’t do too much sugga. #DoYourHomework ?
Where does Beyonce even come into the equation? She had multi-million dollar sponsors that helped pay for her touring, but she will NEVER release her music for free on any platform.
I hope she’s gonna push hard on tour, cuz this album is slow and will need extra extra layers live to be really praised.
The sound is good but it’s only one side of rihanna that she gives.
This girl is a lot of flavours, i wanted to hear all of them.
I like 8 out of 13 songs, so it’s solid. Why work as the “first” single idk? I’m also not sure why it took so long to release either.
Is it worth the money, serious question…i kinda want it.
wait… Y’all realise this basically a surprise release right? There was no official release date .. only murmurs and pushbacks. KIII the Slavi can no longer talk about gimmicks #BeyInspired
GURL KARMA IS A BIIIITCH!!! The Navy Dragged Jay for giving his album away for free. They called Beys GAME CHANGING SUPRISE RELEASE a gimmick. Hoeanna just did both in 1 hahahaha i cannot!!! Thats double the floppage and double the dragging KIII!!! HIVE GET READY FOR THEM FIRST WEEK SALES, thats if their is going to be any lmfao!!
CHAWL, These hypocritical hœs are going to get FAT from all of the humble pie I’m forcing down their throats. Rihœnna would be nothing without the Carters. In fact she’d still be a refugee selling coconut water on the beach. The first week sales post is going to be suck a KIII!
They’re giving away thousands of tickets for her tour (check Ticketmaster there still thousands of tickets left with less than a month to go. Now they’re giving away her album for free. This will not help her ticket sales. I know Samsung is so mad with all the money they’ve lost on this project with the scrapped albums and the free ticket giveaway. What a big mess.
The Navy consists of haters! Bey on the brain although your fav just released for the first time in YEARS!? LMAO i can’t wait to see Rih attempt to perform some of these songs. ????. #B6 you ready?
These Pest still don’t get it. Beyonce is still owned by Sony, she have no control on how the album is sold. Rihanna is her own woman her own label, she don’t need to sell this album to only get 7% of album sales and the rest goes to men in suites because SHE’S the woman in the suite! Roc Nation gets the best Tidal promo since ever with Anti and Rihanna got her check from Samsung, the album is already sold and made it’s money. Lol. And she gets sponsored for the tour. She already won. And Rihanna ain’t slick, you think she spent a whole year recording these 13 songs that most were already done a year ago? Don’t be surprised if R9 drops in RIHvember this year. She’s Rihanna, dropping albums is nothing to her. This is only the beginning. Even if she sales 200K the first week. That’s after the album was free. Lol
And Beyonce had sales close to 400k even with the album leaked weeks im advanced. Ha Hoeanna wishes she could pull them numbers. Im expecting 150k first week sales. The Broke Ass navi is already stealing the album kiii!!!
Rihanna already got the check. The pest are jealous because they’re still paying for loans from 2013.
Kiii but Huntea the Hive stays buying out The Queens pre-sales concerts with their credit card exclusive sales. Meanwhile Hoeanna stans are desperately gathering up the change they didnt spend on the crack rock just see Hoeanna live. Its okay tho boo Riri knows the struggle of her drugged out and broke Navi so she tweeted a code for a free download of the “Timeless” album hahahahaha!!
Beyonce, Nicki, Taylor, Adele and all the OTHER artist that were on that Tidal stage can’t put their albums on Tidal like this. Why? Because they don’t own their music! That’s why Beyonce has yet to drop anything other than Mary Had A Little Lamb piano video and Nicki dropped a video that she paid for. Notice she didn’t drop the song as an exclusive? Because she don’t own her music. Same with Beyonce, Jay-Z has to pay Sony a license fee to keep Beyonces and Sony artist music on the streaming site. Lol
.
In short. RIHANNA IS ON SOMEONE Prince ish. You clowns are still on sales when your gave only gets 57 cents an album unit when Rihanna is getting 50% of the check. Because Roc Nation is only the distributor, Rihanna is the label. Next level ish, this is changing the game. Not a lil surprise release that any artist are doing now, trick do this! Lol
Beyoncé this Beyoncé that Beyoncé this Beyoncé that. Enjoy the free album and don’t forget to buy your other favorite album as well. It’s still not more than 400k in UK?
133.BEYONCÉ – Beyoncé (106 weeks on chart)
Kiii yaaasss the Queen stays richer and racks in bigger deals than Hoeanna (50m pepsi —-> 25m samsung)
Owning your masters changes the game now, when countless other artists before have already done that? The Delusion! I cannot with you! Now that shes released exclusivly to Tidal to furthur try and mask her flop Era she is doing it because she is a BOSS?? I CANNOT WITH YOU PULLING THESE EXCUSES OUT OF THAT BAG OF TRICKS. Hold on the Masters BS because she aint sold shiiiit with em just yet. We gone see with this album and tour tho. %50 of them checks yet the Queen still makes more than her kiiii!!!
When you get a $25 million dollars check, you already won. Beyonce doesn’t own hers nor Destiny’s Maids. So only getting 7% of album sales is winning now? Hahaha, you’re behind child. Others didn’t own their masters at age 27. So keep it moving and hope for BS6 to get a #1 hit.
And Beyonce is still richer lol
Has nothing to do with music or you and me. I got an album, what did Beyonce riches get you? Lol
Kiii that back peddling tho! You’re acting as if you didnt bring up the argument on the % of their checks LMFAO!!!
It was ok. But it WILL NOT BEAT SELF TITLED.***Flawless operatic vocal, Her voice and production in Jealous, the minimalist production of Rocket, and of course NO ANGEL. And GHOST>>>>>>>
It’s 2016, you’re still on 2013 antics? Like I said, the pest are BEYhind.
Beyoncé’s latest album is self-titled and it was released in 2013. Since you mention Beyoncé, of course i will compare Rih album with Beyoncé’s. And it’s 2016, have the princess of rnb highest selling album sold pass 3 million? or 400k in UK? Why do u avoid that question? Are u scared?
True!sorry BEYONCE was the superior album. And truth be told shes probably about to slay again.but this album is terrible. Its just…for all the hyping up she did i expected more
They were so focused on RIHvember, they didn’t see JanuaRIH coming. Lol meanwhile Beyonce is scared of Adele. Lok
Why have you mentioned Beyonce more than Rihanna in this post? Is the music that underwhelming for you?
HIGHER 9/10
Considiration 8/10
Work 6/10
the rest feels undercooked/ not feelin it
got a fake mail and fake name and i it still doesn’t work. great joke. want milk? *throws bottle* 😀
Lol! There is nothing special about this. 4 years for this dry, average droning bull. This is going to be a flop era and DEATH at her using Samsung after the Navy dragged Jay Z for days.
I give it 7/10 the album is alright more slow down than her usual stuff but nothing too stand out about it. Some of the songs kinda blend with each and end sounding like the same song. Not really what I expected, overall it’s just kinda bland with a bit of flavour here and there
Just got it off Tidal, Coming from a Lamb, This is her strongest body of work so far.. Like Wow. I’m getting Rated R Teas but much better. I guess she really made music that I would say might stand the test of time. I am impressed. Was well worth the wait.
Who in the hell said Bey gets 7%????? Show me that receipt. Rih may have got 7% with Def Jam but that has nothing at all to do with Bey dumbass. Just stop bitching, Beyoncé wins…go stream Anti… Shouldn’t take you long at all ????
“Work” is #1 in 88 countries. Yassssss
Can’t wait to purchase it on iTunes.
The album is getting POOR reviews so far. The NY Post gave it 2.5 stars kii.
have you quenched your thirst yet? why are you always checking for rihanna b**** i bet you streaming the album as we speak go check for cedric the flop!
i refuse and i mean REFUSE to download this for free rihanna is b**** i love her absolutely love her she deserves my coins so when the album is available on apple itunes then i will purchase it jay z does not deserve my money that big lipped m***** can suck my dominican d***!
rihanna i am so proud of you you have grown as an individual and as an artist you have displayed so much profesionalism you have showed everyone that you are not only an artist but a business mogul and i am so proud of you! you have done what a 30 something year old tired ass unoriginal flop has never done and that is achieve come from the bottom and rise to the top!
Yo, I’m really loving this album and it’s direction. I am not a Rihanna album fan, but her singles catalogue has always been amazing. This is the first Rihanna album that i can listen to all the way through.
I’m a true fan of music, and while Rihanna isn’t my favorite, I like to study greatness. Love her or hate her, watch the impact this has in the music industry. Reading interviews of how hard up and coming producers have worked to even get a chance to work with her, and how just having one song on her album will change their lives. That is greatness. Period. Study that work ethic, and place it into your own life, and watch what happens.
Listening to this album, I can see why they tried “45 seconds” first. Unfortunately, they were quickly reminded, that something ratchet and fun would create more buzz; a la BBHMM, and Work. They did the same thing with Tweet’s Southern Hummingbird; choosing “Opps Oh My” as the leading single.
It’s just playing the game. Congrats Rihanna. Im still hoping she releases a full reggae album/mixtape. Ill take it however. Islanders stand up!
IM DYING!!!!!!! No not from my suga DIABETES but from this ENTIRE ERA. Now shes copying Bey Mj R kelly style by hoping in the bed with young children. Didnt Bey do that with Grown Woman to close the REAL story off an album with real meaning & coheshion. Now bish given the album away for FREE to save from further embarrasment. First it was artpop 2.0 then Bionic 2.0 now its not even Jackie 2.2. This right here is a whole NEW level of Floppage that not even CERROR can top this. I dont even need to stream to know this is just as bad and uneven as UNAcant
Bravo, Rihanna! Anti is a great piece of work! Kiss It Better should have been her “first single” because I have been listening to it all morning. This is the first album since RR where she has shown emotion and vulnerability and I’m very impressed. Love On The Brain is one of her best vocal performances and Work sounds amazing in HD! I give it a 4.3/5!
I like it . It’s a cute album . I wish some songs were longer. Kiss it better stands out to me. That should’ve been her first single.
Yeah I,said it …….
Great Job RiRi. We have to support our girls Beyoncé and Rihanna. I like Beyoncé more but love Rihanna also.
This leak s*** wouldn’t happen to beyonce Tidel would be coming out there pockets for this s***, I love the album every song great work badgirl.
Yeah I , said it should’ve been longer !!!!!
“Reviewing music” is like trying to dance to artitecture. If ANTI stands out to you – then she’s completed her mission – if not, go listen to someone else. I find it funny that people base so much off of sales, “reviews” and pop hits.
Exactly that s the dumb bey effect….her destructive contribution to music
if it’s not 1 thing it’s another , y’all can never be satisfied w/ music… AGAIN you said it was trash & this & the third but… you waited for it 2 be release just like we did so obviously you couldn’t wait , I don’t get it w/ you Stans , if it’s not about Bey , Rih , Ciara , Janet , Mariah & So On you bash other artist cause you don’t won’t them 2 shine whether the album flops or w/e what happened 2 liking/loving the music quality if not stop the comparing another artist to another 1.
Wow!!!!!!! She is the black Madonna!!! The biggest star since Madonna….beyonce is a sh…t
am i the only one feeling NEVER ENDING….
am i the only one feeling NEVER ENDING….i feel like crying….and those etta james vocals on love on da brain!!!!!
