Aug 24, 2022esse álbum riri abriu o coração. mostrou sua raiva, seu amor e esses sentimentos. um álbum que merece receber mais flores, aqui está a minha.
-
Aug 24, 2022Rated R was the first monument album by a pop star. Rihanna could have continued with an album with multiples hits but she preferred to completely change what everyone in the industry was doing, her mind and vision should be studied.
-
May 8, 2021My third personal favorite of her! It's so underrated. The album is a mixture of a lot of genres including pop, R&B, rock and hip hop. My favorites are Stupid In Love, Fire Bomb, Russian Roulette and Rude Boy.
-
Apr 20, 2021This is an underrated album tbh. Every song deserves attention and love. So stream Rated R for clear skin
-
Mar 1, 2021The best album of all time) It's so emotional. All songs are amazing. But Stupid in love >>>>
-
Dec 12, 2020one of the best album in history. these girls could never make something like rated r. and the fact that she was only 21 while making it. shes a genius. cant wait for R9
-
Nov 22, 2020Honestly? AN ALBUM! Just for "russian roulette" and "cold case love" you already know the album is great! unfortunately, another rihanna's work that didn't received the recognition deserved. But she knows everything she does is good!
-
Jun 2, 2020Vulnerability, strength, power and an incredible voice being exposed. Rihanna shows once again that she can sing what she wants to sing well.
-
May 29, 2020A very mature body of work, especially considering that the artist in question was barely overage. Lyrics, emotions, perfect blend of several sounds.. this album has everything
-
May 29, 2020Rated R es sin duda el mejor álbum de Rihanna hasta la fecha, todas sus canciones encajan perfectamente en todo sentido. EXCELENCIA MUSICAL, UNA OBRA DE ARTE.
Rated R is without a doubt Rihanna's best album to date, all of her songs fit perfectly in every way. MUSICAL EXCELLENCE, A MASTERPIECE. -

Feb 17, 2020Rihanna's most personal album becomes where she went through everything and put it in a good way and with great melancholy. It becomes a good way to hear, and your sound is a distant and good thing to catch up and improve more and more. It's fascinating to hear and really takes the listener on a journey.
-
Aug 20, 2019Абсолютный рост после предыдущего альбома, звучание под стать Рианне, несколько промахов, но в общем работа лучшая, на тот момент, в карьере певицы.
-
Jan 16, 2019Another good album from Rihanna, its a step down from Good Girl Gone Bad but there are some solid songs and it had some good single choices.
-
Sep 14, 2018Perfect! This album definitely outdid all of my expectations. Rihanna is fantastic.
-
Aug 14, 2018I can't remember a song I couldn't hear. Every lyric, every song is so deep. Fire Bomb should be single
-
Jun 15, 2016The album is fine, but definitely not the most appealing. At times it feels awesome to listen to, but sometimes you really just want to skip the song . It is extremely fluid in some places yet completely dry in others. If this album wasn't so daring I would not give it more than a 5.
-
May 29, 2016Still her best to date.Both weird and pop, Rihanna intimate songs portraits a woman that break out a confrotating relationship but dont turn out to be the self pitting break up record, showing a very confident and - as always - daring girl.

Apr 27, 2016This is what I call AN ALBUM. Once again RiRi proves us she is a bad gal and we shouldn't mess with her! It's very personal. Lyrically and musically very good. One of her first albums with various genres of music.
-
Apr 4, 2016................................................................................................................................The best album of Rihanna................ Full of great & beautiful Ballads....
-
Feb 4, 2016Rated R is more foreboding and mature album than Rihanna's previous records, starting out with the suitably strange "Mad House" and ending with a haunting ballad "The Last Song." "Russian Roulette" is another stand out from the album while "Rude Boy" is more in tune with Rihanna's previous pop hits.

Nov 27, 2015MELHOR ALBUM DA DISCOGRAFIA AMO TODAS AS MÚSICAS UMA REVOLUÇÃO E TANTO PARA A RIHANNA ESSE HINARIO NÃO TEM UMA MÚSICA QUE EU NÃO GOSTE HINO HINO
-
Nov 7, 2015Esse álbum é incrível, letras maduras e totalmente bem produzidas, sem duvidas esse álbum é um dos melhores de 2009 e o melhor trabalho da Rihanna merece nota 100000
-
Sep 2, 2015C'est mon album préféré de Rihanna. Il est tellement personnel, il raconte son histoire. Après Good Girl Gone Bad, qui est un très bon album, mais commercial tout de même, je ne pouvais espérer mieux pour son retour !
-
May 27, 2015one of the best albums I've ever heard in life, but this is my favorite album of all time , the best career album of Rihanna, full of emotions , stories, a complete and perfect album from beginning to end
-
May 7, 2015This album is amazing. I feel like I've entered into the dark side and it was awesome. This album made me fall in love with Rihanna even more. Favourite tracks are Russian Roulette, Wait You Turn, Stupid in Love and Hard
-

Apr 8, 2015Esse álbum, sem dúvidas, é o melhor disco da carreira da Rihanna, uma música melhor do que a outra, traduções emocionantes, sonoridade diferente, clipes maravilhosos etc...
-
Apr 5, 2015Album do milênio, pisa no universo, dona da industria musical, pisa na beyonce, empregada dela e do jay z que não penteia o cabelo da filha, rainha mesmo

Feb 15, 2015An amazing and huge album that shows how Rihanna grew up through these years. Rated R is a masterpiece, that marks our century. There's no doubt that it's her best album ever.

Nov 6, 2013Her most darkness album. I love it. Its so... intense! The song "Cold Case Love" touch your soul, definitely... And "Rude Boy" sneaks a bit of context, but it's a different song, and still good.
-
Nov 1, 2013
-
Aug 30, 2013Brooding with raw emotion and boasting as the only album to have Rihanna serve as a co-writer for the entire track listing, and to serve as an executive producer. To date the most personal and cohesive album in her career.
-
Jul 6, 2013
-
Nov 19, 2012One of the four of Rihanna's best albums. All the songs are awesome and flow as a story based on the assault attack that Brown made on Rihanna. Rated R
-
Nov 1, 2012Rihanna's best work ever. Although it wasn't such a success in sales and the public would rather go hear "Loud" or "Talk That Talk", Fenty proves that she can belt out ballads anytime she wants.
-
Oct 24, 2012

Aug 24, 2012I feel like this is Rihanna's best work. "mad house" was an amazing intro and each song was amazing. I feel like she simply wanted to amaze people in her "rude boy" track. That was her worst track. But she shows her bad side and the old her in the "Russian roulette" track. Overall a great album.
-
Aug 1, 2012Every song is amazing. Vocals, songwriting and production all impressed me.
Fire Bomb is incredible. Many different types of dark sounds were incorporated, even in the grimy hip-hop/pop -type songs, like the chilling production of G4L. -
Apr 30, 2012Simply perfect. Rihanna got through their emotions with sincerity after previous events, which gave the album a personal touch and can be seen from afar as his best.
-

Mar 6, 2012This is probably My favorite rihanna album due to fact she's a bad ass on this album. Her features and her songs makes her sound intimidating and powerful. This is Rihanna's Best Work
-
Dec 14, 2011One of the best pop albums of all time! I wasn't really a fan of Rihanna until I listened to this album.
Absolutely Flawless. -
Nov 21, 2011This album is a work of art. None of her albums were able to beat this one. Loud was a commercial album, made just for selling. Not that I don't like it, but it's true. Talk That Talk is an amazing album, but Rated R still reigns.
-
Nov 21, 2011This album is simply amazing. I LOVE how she can go extra low with her voice. I love the mood of this album. Makes you feel pretty badass. Personally, i like stupid in love the best. I think this is her best album. Better than LOUD and Talk That Talk to me.

Jun 2, 2011Finally revealing the edginess we've long hoped for, here is the Barbadian pop star's most creative effort and she needn't it be radio-friendly to be a success. Her own Velvet Rope and vengeful masterpiece.
-
May 26, 2011Definitely her best album, very dark and personal. It's a shame she put out such a generic album (LOUD) once this wasn't that successful commercially though.
-
May 23, 2011It seems Pops most innovative stars create music during times of turmoil and struggle. Rated R is the soulful and heartbreaking version of Britney Spears' sexed up Blackout. Both Albums are to this day the best albums I have ever bought.
-
Nov 26, 2010Rated R is the best, most fascinating and artistic album of Rihanna. Before, I found Rihanna as trying too hard to be edgy in the album but all of her songs are good and coherent. The theme of revenge, dark, and being betrayed is present in all tracks. For me, the album doesn't care the chart performance because it is not appealing to the audience.
-
Nov 25, 2010Probably, Rihanna's best album to the date, because at difference of "Loud" we can say that the song are Rihanna's songs because she co-wrote it.
-
Nov 19, 2010A bleak interpretaion of the last year, overall a solid pop album with some rock and latin influence. While her uptempo numbers are good, it's her ballads, Stupid in Love, Cold Case Love and lead single Russian Roulette that really stand out when she shows off those pipes. The album is unevenly paced, but rightly so. Probably the best pop record of the year.
-
Nov 14, 2010Best album. Great catchy songs keep 'em coming! I love the songs rude boy, hard and rockstar!!!!!!!! I can't wait for the new album LOUD I already love the song what's my name from that album.
-
Nov 6, 2010If you are a fan of true pop, you'll love the album. Rihanna delivers some beautiful ballads and also catchy songs that will be stuck in your head. Her best album so far.
-
Nov 1, 2010Rihanna's best album by far. Rated R exhibits Rihanna's dark side after the harsh reality of her abuse. Songs like "Wait Your Turn" "Hard" and "Rude Boy" have the pop beats and lyrics that her former albums had, but Rated R has a different side. "Cold Case Love" is a dark song about a strong, and forceful love that relates to her relationship with Chris Brown....Check this album out
-
Oct 6, 2010Rated R is a masterpiece, that marks our century with beautiful ballads, fierce lyrics and sassy spirit.
Rihanna has done it again, she has introduced a new style to her music that was missing in her previous album, yet maintaining her image as a Daring Diva whos willing to try new sounds.
Love it! -

JonH.Dec 7, 2009Rhianna is flirting with greatness, on this album
-
-
MoniqueS.Dec 6, 2009Her best album yet, Personal favorite 'Fire Bomb'.
-
-
A.RDec 5, 2009It's an exceptional record from a pop star who just two year ago was making metaphors with umbrellas. Rated R shows Rihanna's growth as an artist. I'm happy that there is still some meaningful pop music.
-
-
RodrigoMDec 1, 2009This album is great. The record is lirically better than Good Girl Gone Bad, and although this is more "pop-sad" than her previous albums, it is still catchy and addictive. The best songs are Russian Roulette, Stupid in Love and Rude Boy, but the rest is very good too. Near a masterpiece.

DJNov 30, 2009I love this CD. She needed a change from kiddy-pop!

AthGNov 26, 2009This is the best album of her career. I love it and it's currently on repeat. It's her own music, she's not trying to be hot, or to get pop hits with this album. She has truly become an artist with this record.
-
-
DammyANov 25, 2009I love it. Very unique, she has carved her own genre...no other Cd or artist sounds remotely like her.
-
-
TimANov 25, 2009Rihanna could have made a blank disc and sold a million records, but she took the time to craft dark pop music that can be both entrancing and scary. I think that ultimately the album delivers, this isn't one for "Umbrella" fans but it's one for those of us that can handle more complex pop. I personally love it.
-
-
NicolaLNov 24, 2009Rihanna's best offering yet. There is no 'Umbrella' on Rated R, but it seems like a more honest (and angry) album. Still it does contain some catchy tracks. I loved it.

GerganaGNov 24, 2009It's the best album ever!

DKismetNov 24, 2009She's never sounded better. Her edgier sound works perfectly for her vocals. I love it thru and thru! Awesome.
-
-
MelissaMNov 24, 2009Her emotions and strength are entirely palpable in her latest effort, Rated R. No, it's not danceable, but it'[s real and it's Rihanna, and she never let's us down or surprises us with what she has in store, next.
-
-
LisaSNov 24, 2009Absolutely stunning and amazing! Her best work yet!
-
-
JarvsHNov 24, 2009Her best album so far, and probably the best pop record in years.
-
-
JimJNov 23, 2009This album shows progression and perfect steps that an artists takes in the turning point of their career. Pitched perfect, and with her Caribbean-tint in full effect, Rated R is unstoppable and sure to bring Rihanna critical acclaim. Gear up & get Ready.
-
-
CameronSNov 23, 2009This was a spectacular album. She really made it something special. She captured what she went through and the struggles she went through. But she continues to show that she won't stick to the same, which is the sign of a true artist. Its fascinating to listen to and really brings the listener through a journey. Fantastic!
-
-
YashicaSNov 23, 2009This album is great! I didnt think Rihanna a "pop Star" would ever have an album that i could listen to years from today! GREAT WORK! IM PROUD OF HER.

ChristinaBNov 23, 2009Great Great Great!!. The metaphors used in the album are some of the best Ive heard.
-
-
AlanNov 23, 2009I love this CD so much; the swagger, the anger, the fierceness. It his her best album to date. Grace Jones for our times. Love the whole concept of it.
-
-
ValdeneSNov 23, 2009Great album. I especially love Russian Roulette, Wait Your Turn, Rude Boy & The Last Song. Shows artistic and personal growth,a bit dark but its not generic pop, and that makes it refreshing... its worth a listen.
-
-
RubenV.Nov 23, 2009Rated R is a classic album, overloaded with genuine emotions of an abused superstar.

coldcaseloveNov 23, 2009This truly is a classic album. its better than good girl gone bad. im really glad she did something different with this album, she surprised us all and really demonstrated her vocal ability. all tracks are single-worthy (just like good girl gone bad).

Awards & Rankings
-
Jun 24, 2011You are way, way better off not projecting any kind of emotional subtext onto this record.
-
What works as therapeutic psychodrama for the singer doesn't always work quite as well as pop music, which, from the shiny surfaces, it's clear everyone here is still striving for.
-
Nothing else on the album can top 'Russian Roulette,' but they certainly complement it, and make its startling conclusion feel sadly inevitable.
