Rihanna - Anti (Discussion Thread)

[The_King_of_Everything]

I am pretty underwhelmed so far, only a quick listen.....I see where they had difficulty finding a direction, and switched sounds..I will say it sounds like Rihanna was taking this really seriously, or her handlers wanted this to be a serious album....but many tracks are very similar in sound, and don't have the kind of emotional/dramatic appeal of Rihannas best tracks...a lot of acoustics here too, which is different for her, some throwbacks to kind 60's sounds and singing.... and the lyrics seem sometimes in that direction too....A little more Lana Del Rey influence then normal....but overall is kind of a miss to me.....it seems somewhat overwrought and uneven in sound....like 'Kiss It Better' is heads and shoulders above the rest, and was supposed to be a single, but the production is an 80's sample, and a very Rihanna big budget feel...but feels way more authentic then some of the acoustic tracks....

I def hear the Lana del Rey influence

Considering all the simple, crap music she's made, this is easily her best work.

the label should just release the album and video w/ drake today or tomorrow. they cant beat this and it would salvage some sales. maybe give the impression things were just goin according to plan.
