Nov 26, 2010Rihanna's Loud is probably a combination of her albums. The Caribbean music is present in some songs. The dance-hall/club music is the main element of each songs. R&B music is present in her ballads. Lastly, Love the Way You Lie (Part II) is a 'Rated R' song. I conclude that Rihanna combine all her album into one to produce an artistic and commercial success CD.

Dec 17, 2010Rihanna showed a different side to her on this album and it definitely paid off. It can be seen as a 'fun' album and theres no harm in that. For those that doubted that she could sing, i think theyve been proved wrong after listening to some of the vocals. Very good album from Rihanna.
-
Dec 18, 2010This album is amazing!!! I like it! This is her second best album after Good Girl Gone Bad! S&M, Only Girl, What's My Name?, Skin and California King Bed are the best songs on Loud!
The best album in 2010. Catchy songs and beautiful ballads. -

Mar 6, 2011Hmm...Rihanna did a pretty (not bad) job this time. Loud is 1 of her best album that contain great tracks like Only Girl(in the world), what's my name, s&m, fading and california king bed, but others are not gd at all!! Especially Cheers (drink to that), and Raining Men. These 2 are like "terrible", this album attracted me to listen to Rihanna, Keep Going, Rihanna!!
-
Sep 24, 2011I like this album. Rihanna stepped her game up with this. Sounds like a pop album, hit songs. wish it was more than 11 but oh well. Skin is my favorite song.
-
Nov 25, 2011A good album with lots of hits and has shown to be extremely successful so far selling 6 million copies , making Rihanna one of the most successful pop stars out there today
-
Mar 28, 2012After the complicated and amazing "Rated R" Rihanna, with "Loud", returns to the world of the simple pop, dance and R&B music. "Loud" is Rihanna fifth studio album and for the fifth time Rihanna changed her character for her album. With a simply and engaging music "Loud" is perfect for dance on the Dance Floor in an amazing night. ( sorry for my English )

May 31, 2012This Is What Pop Music Is!
Real Vocals Real Music.. No Auto Tune Crap..
Love This Album One Of The Best Albums Of All Time!
Best Song: S&M
Worst Song: None -
Mar 24, 2013One Of The Best Album Of All Time! Every Single Song Is Perfection Beyond!

Dec 16, 2014Best album of Rihanna, taking "Skin" all the songs are good, do not get tired of hearing this album, really good.
Highlights: S & M and Only Girl
Lows: Skin and Fading -
Apr 20, 2021It's an iconic album. A cultural reset. A new peak in her career. We all know that this album is one of the best of the 2010s
-
Aug 19, 2011A good album with tons of hits. What's my name is my favorite, followed by Love the Way You Lie. Some of the songs are filler though like Complicated and Fading.
-
Nov 18, 2010Who cares about this negative user reviews? They are just jealous for this amazing record!
LOUD is so far the best album of 2010, Rihanna is the QUEEN! -
Nov 17, 2010This album is probably one of my favorites of the year. It's super catchy, and there are a variety of songs in it. It isn't repetitive like most albums and what I love is how Rihanna can always keep it fresh and with time she's becoming better and better.

Nov 19, 2010Load is all about Rihanna's fighting side. It shows her rage and anger. My advice is to go and buy the album regardless of very few negative reviews.
-
Nov 21, 2010The album as a whole is on par with Rated R; however, it does not meet her best work to date Good Girl Gone Bad. The standout tracks are: Complicated, California King Bed, Only Girl (In The World), S&M and Love The Way You Lie Part 2. Overall, the album is a solid effort from one of pop's finest.
-
Feb 20, 2011This album is quite good. There are some great songs in this album (Cheers (Drink To That), Love The Way You Lie Part 2 (feat. Eminem) but it still isn't the best album ever. Still, definitely worth a listen.

Nov 17, 2010Honestly Loud doesn't compare to GGGB or Rated R, total letdown. I don't understand the appeal of this album at all. I like Rihanna but these songs ain't cutting it.
-
Nov 17, 2010Wow, Im shocked at these reviews, Not too shocked because Critics Overrate & Underrate thing all the time. Poor Rihanna, She thought she could pull off another Bâ

May 23, 2011I was disappointment not because it's a bad album - it's actually really very good - but because it didn't even begin to compare to Rated R. Rated R was bold, dark and exciting whereas Loud can more easily be put in the RNB bucket bin.
-
Nov 22, 2010Rihanna's 5th album proves to me that she has great vocals, and she is able to sell records. The downfalls of the album though are the tracks "Only Girl (In The World)", and "Cheers (Drink to That)". Another low on the album is "California King Bed". Corny lyrics, and vocals that prove she can sing, we know that. We get the picture. Give us something else to work with.

Nov 30, 2010With songs like "Whats My Name?" & "Only Girl (In The World)" you would think this album would be SPECTACULAR! but... its just average. She may have nice catchy fun songs like "Raining Men" (ft. Nicki Minaj") but its nothing i haven't heard before from Rihanna. To me this album is kind of verging on "Generic POP"! I have heard better records from Rihanna.

Oct 16, 2011Not a brillaint album, rather good songs, but yet there are some songs I feel ive heard on her previous albums! I do think maybe her next album will be a bit more exciting.
-
Nov 21, 2011Loud is a commercial album. With the exception of a few songs, this is just made for selling. It's a good pop album, but I know that Rihanna can do much better. It's definitely not good enough for being the successor of Rated R, which is a work of art.

Dec 3, 2010This album is really good i like the lyrics of the song and it has also got a nice beat suiting the lyrics of the song. This is definitely going to be in my top 10 for this month where as i preferd her last album a lot better.

Feb 4, 2012Overall (In My Opinion) Rihanna's Best Album!
Love You And Ur Music! -
May 26, 2011The album is ok, but she could have done much better - especially after "Good Girl Gone Bad" and "Rated R". Some of the tracks are good, but there is no evolution whatsoever.
-
Jun 26, 2011Overall a decent album with superb hits like whats my name,only girl and S&M,i like Man Down,Complicated and Skin as well.Good but not great except for a few songs.
-
Jun 30, 2011This album is really a step backward from Rated R, but is fun, catchy, makes you feel good. Perfect music for American industry. And, as I'm not the American industry, I'm not so pleased with it. Average to OK.

Nov 23, 2011Even though the album was a bit rushed, it provided many types of music. Reggae, Pop, R&b, and even a bit of dance. It takes her back to the Caribbean roots she also had, and gains attention with the radio through her pop songs. All in all the album was AMAZING, very radio friendly.

Apr 28, 2013This album is such a complete party. But I think some songs in this cd have more harmony and dancing than the singles. "Man Down" is boring, "Complicated" or "Skin" can replace this single, I think. But, in general, the album isn't so bad, I just think that a little more of work can transform this in something far better.
-
Dec 1, 2012This album is a unique pop album and seems like a effortless one-off. Rihanna goes a little back to her Carribean roots with songs like 'Man Down', 'Cheers' and 'What's My Name?' and also ploughs in a new musical direction, Overall the album is colourful and is like a bright day down at the beaches. Good On You Rihanna
-
Nov 19, 2012Her best effort to date ! From S&M until Love the Way You Lie (Part II), the album is a complete masterpiece. One song that bothers me is Raining Men with the awful Nicki Minaj. Apart of that it's awesome!
-
Jan 17, 2019This is another almost flawless album from Rihanna, while Rated R slipped back a bit 'Loud' is up there with 'Good Girl Gone Bad' as her strongest work. With a fantastic lead single with several more that followed also.
-
Dec 23, 2012Just A Perfect Album!
-
May 22, 2013There are only 3 good songs on this album and the rest is filler. The good songs are S&M, What's My Name, and Only Girl (In the World). None of these songs are unforgettable, even though Only Girl the most solid song among the three worth listening to.

Nov 17, 2021its a good pop album but lacks the wow factors. It is a 'commercial album' with the elements required. I want to see a breakthrough from her.
-
Mar 23, 2014Rihanna's best album, and one of my favorite albums ever. Every song is amazing, and she made up for her 4th album, "Rated R". The best song is "S&M."
-

Nov 1, 2013I must admit, I receive this album as the most commercial among all of her CDs. It means nothing, because it is still brilliant. Commercialism made by Riri is diffrent than stuff from Pitbull. My faves are "Cheers", "California King Bed" and probably the most influenced by Euro-dance "Complicated". I adore image of Riri while promoting this great album. She is just a lioness RAW:D
-
Nov 6, 2013Her best album, DEFINITELY. The chorus are explosive, and she mixed many rhythms together, and they're all good. After Rated R, I think she put in a record multiple hits. Congratulations, Riri!
-
Feb 4, 2016Rihanna goes back to the club-ready hits of Good Girl Gone Bad with her fifth album, Loud. This record produced some of her best singles yet like "S&M" and "What's My Name?" She has some great collabs with Drake, Eminem and Nicki Minaj, and Loud isn't just pop-dance songs. It's got some great songs that evoke her previous album, Rated R, especially "California King Bed."
-
Oct 13, 2014This will forever be a favorite pop album by many. It had the most #1 hits from all her albums, and it is still a forget-less album, the singles here were worthy, and still memorable.
-
Nov 1, 2014With "S&M" , "What's My Name ?",and "Only Girl (In The World)",Rihanna proves that she belongs to pop music, too. And most of the songs on this album sounds very interesting (happy) with both lyrics, rhythms , and the way Rihanna sings . Although the track "Skin" is not that great as others are...

Apr 27, 2016Her 'dark' era Rated R is over. This album is full of catchy pop songs. Not Rih's best album, songs like Raining Men and Complicated are good but not necessary, the other songs make up for it though.

Nov 21, 2016A very sex-focused album that manages to be sensual more often than dirty, other than opening track "S&M", which was so good and raunchy that Britney Spears couldn't resist hopping on the remix. "Only Girl" and "What's My Name?" are the standouts, and although none of the other tracks reach those highs, they do maintain a sultry kind of momentum across the record.
-
Jun 2, 2017Such a legendary and career defining album. This album has gone on to become Rihanna's most notable LP and has spawned singles such as S&M, What's My Name and hugely successful Only Girl (In the World).

Feb 17, 2020Rihanna thrills her best quality, but it's not enough to be what you can expect. Although, there are songs that are totally already worth better cohesion and sound, it has its escapades around production. It lacks its burning, which we saw on the last album. But the quality is not lacking, and one can say that a little more salt the album would be impeccable as the predecessors.
Awards & Rankings
-
Jan 13, 2011While each track on Loud is an audio Polaroid of past work, there's little evolution. It's evident Rihanna is working her way to the top, but she's been doing that for three albums now.
-
Dec 13, 2010At a brief 47 minutes, though, it's hard to see Rihanna fans walking away from Loud thinking she's anything other than the coolest girl in her field.
-
Nov 30, 2010The record's best moments aim low rather than loud, with spacious, skittery beats that let loose Rihanna's Caribbean cadence.
