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.

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!

ajdudeNov 23, 2009Yawn....Wasn't expecting such degrading effort from RIhanna. After the gem she dropped in 2007, we get a sub-par effort. No bangers like umbrella to be found here! ordinary effort! poor!

lalasmithNov 23, 2009This album was full of songs that's honestly had no content and was really repetitive. Russian roulette was the only song to me that had meaning the rest to me was just her way of crying out that she is a bad girl rebel which by the way im not buying.

MusicUnlimitedNov 23, 2009An amazingly mature and emotional album that puts all other releases out this year to shame!

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).

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.
