Rihanna
Unapologetic

It wouldn't be November without a new album from Rihanna. Unfortunately, while previous Novembers saw the pop star release albums such as 2009's Rated R 75, 2010's Loud 67, and last year's Talk That Talk 64, the new Unapologetic looks like it could continue that downward trend in quality, if early reviews are indicative of what's to come; the increased variety on display here, it seems, produces a mixed bag. Guests on the 15-track album include Eminem and Chris Brown (yes, we know), while David Guetta is among the producers.
