    In addition to the already 20-ish songs there are an additional few more new tracks in this re-issue. All up the album is still just OK as there are too many skip-worthy tracks, but at least there are a few stand-outs like the singles.

    Almost every review on her is either bias or too much. I mean every one has a 10 or a 0. Here is a reliable review from someone who heard it without loving her or hating. 27 songs OK that's what Im talking about non-stop party. OK. But Id say half are actually good. Fire Burns, Automatic, Pound the Alarm, Whip It, Starships, Roman Reloaded, Up In Flames, and The Boys are good to listen to.Almost every review on her is either bias or too much.

I think Va Va Vome sounds the best and is the only one I actually kept on my computer. Beez In The Trap (If you black) you will love it, I like it. Id say listen before downloading or buying. Expand

    Highs that soar to psycho EDM rap and infectious pop songs that go toe-to-toe with her best, but so many damn lows. The original Roman Reloaded would have been a 5 for a shorter tracklist that maintains many of the same issues here - too many nondescript filler songs, plus some real garbage thrown in too.

Starting an album with Roman Holiday is good for a laugh (hence changed to Up In Flames here) but is a really conflicted and ultimately mediocre song and that taste in your mouth comes to define the album overall, but with incendiary, insane ventures like Come On A Cone and the equally biting and funny ventures Beez In The Trap and I Am Your Leader backing them up, there's definitely stuff to love here.

    The album is no longer amazing, to be another selection of "Pink". The album has its weary ones, where everything in the Nicki is new or great, that is disappointed. Nicki abused their partnerships, which is not bad but an album already released should not have a fatigue like this.

    Aqui vai uma crítica do "The Re-Up", não do resto do CD "Roman Reloaded". Finalmente reparamos no verdadeiro rap, no trabalho lírico satisfatório de Nicki Minaj, nas colaborações aprováveis e num pequeno vestígio de criatividade nesta produção.

    Not good at all. This album isn't really good. I root for High School though, that is one of her best tracks. I like her pop-rap better than rap itself. She should just do PF:RR or PF type of music, not this. 1/2 score because of High School.

    The re-up is an essential extention with more highlights introduced. It's honestly impressive stuff here.

    É um álbum arriscado, que, se baseando na formulação de pink friday que buscou fundir rap e pop, nesse nicki tentou rap e edm, as vezes funcionando, em outras não, como um projeto longos, as tentativas frutradas acabam deixando esse album algo meio a meio

    A failed attempt at a return to form. Her flow is as good as ever but the production really weighs the EP down and it just drags. Maybe she'll get the perfect mix of both next time.

    The first part of this album is amazing. It really shows how strong Minaj’s lyrical ability is, and that is, in my opinion, the thing that stands out the most. After this “re-up” ends, the original album begins, and this is where this project starts to get monotone and boring. The number is songs I genuinely enjoyed is smaller than 10. This is Nicki’s first attempt to go pop, and I hopeThe first part of this album is amazing.

    An extra eight-track CD of new material, which is our primary concern here. [It does not] adds much to the Minaj experience.

    Special note to the freakazoids who think "Starships" killed hip-hop: the rapper who rhymes "fri-vo-lous" with "po-ly-ga-mist" is X-Acto sharp as ever.

    On most of these tracks, Minaj rises to the occasion.
