    One of the best albums by Rihanna, if you go back to her first album in 2005, you will see how Rihanna has evolved!! This album is just as good as Loud. This album may be rushed but it doesn't defeat the fact that she releases good music. Very diverse!!

    Liricamente e vocalmente é um álbum impressionante, deixando de lado as batidas eletrônicas do Talk That Talk e caindo dentro do R&B que consegue expor uma Rihanna novamente pessoal e livre de sua fase rebelde e sem remorsos com seu passado. Realmente é um álbum que teve seu destaque e hoje pode ser considerado um dos melhores da Bad Gal

    Since "Rated R", Rihanna wasn't so deep with her albums, but with "Unapologetic" she really came back to the darkness more powerful than all!

    Songs like "Stay", "What Now", "Love Without Tragedy / Mother Mary", "Loveeeeeee Song" and "Half of Me" remind that brave Rihanna who really has so much to scream to the world, with so many hurts and tears.

    The songs on this album were very diverse, and not the same generic sound after another, more singles could have been formed. This showed how her vocals have changed and evolved.

    "Unapologetic" is a solid and very strong album. I venture to say that is the main release of Rihanna from "Good Girl Gone Bad", that established in the market once and for all. She continues to launch clips, singles and albums of frantic and without disappoint fans (at least musically!). It is extremely difficult to do what Rihanna is the period of time that it does.

Even having a songwriting team and producers behind the great responsibility, vision and dedication is still your thing. This album marks the moment when Rihanna tries to divide your professional and personal, showing everyone that no matter what is happening in your life, or drugs that use it, or the boyfriend she chooses, she is also an artist who delivers a successful product. In other words, the "Unapologetic" brings one message: I can back it… Expand

    Rihanna could really have done something better, this album sounds like it was done anyway just to be released within one year, I think why the R8 ta taking so long, I hope to be better.

    Not a bad album, but Rihanna's worst. Like Talk That Talk, there are Chris Brown Fortune-esque ballads on here, but more here. And they're also worse than the ones on Talk That Talk. The production is good, helped by David Guetta, Mike Will Made It, Stargate among others, however Rihanna doesn't have much lyrically, and the ballads are just boring. Grade: B-/C+.

    An really divesive album, taking the songs that both fans & critics like as Diamonds & Stay, the album is very strange and with much different songs one of the others.

    Together with the famous singles Stay & Diamonds the album have other great songs like Lost In Paradise, Loveeeeeee Song, What Now, Nobody's Business, Right Now.

    But of course Rihanna insists to make some bad songs like "Phresh out the Runway" & "Numb" that unfortunately ends preveting your album to be a completed masterpiece.    … Expand

    Apart from "Diamonds" and very few other songs, this one is irrelevant. It probably wasn't of my kind, but being repetitive and showing the "bronx-ghetto woman" attitude seems cheap here. Just a simple commercial overproduced product. For hardcore fans, not for anyone.

    Unapologetic has its diamonds and its songs that will make you go very numb. There are stand out tracks such as Diamonds, Jump, Loveeeee Song, Right Now and What Now. But otherwise it is definitely hard to ignore the fact that this is an album that has been thrown together and mashed up. At times her vocals are overprocessed and the album when listened to as a whole seems lacking cohesion.

    Unapologetic is the upgraded sequel to Talk that Talk and delivers 10 of Rihanna's best songs. In this album, she shows her "cooler" side but also expresses her emotions and does it seamlessly.

    Standouts are Diamonds, Loveeeeeee Song & Stay

    Overall: 9.2 (rounded down to 9) Rihanna has a greatly underrated album here. It is really one of 2012's best albums and the reason the score is low is due to irrational hate on Rihanna. She wasn't her best on Talk That Talk and for some reason, the hate translated to Unapologetic.    … Expand

    Despite three hit songs "what now" ,"Diamonds" &"stay" unapologetic is an overstuffed blurr of generic radio pop that just frustrates as a full bodied record. Her vocals are still good throughout but that can only do so much when the records fault seemingly outweigh it's promises

    Remember when Rihanna used to make music? Between 2009 and 2012 the pop icon released four albums back to back, one each year and would even go on tours for three of them. It worked incredibly well with "Rated R", "Loud" and "Talk That Talk" but I guess working nonstop had to have a bit of a negative effect on the output one day.

And that sounds like I don’t like "Unapologetic" but compared to its predecessors which were also conceived in a short period it sounds inferior. There’s the bad **** R&B/hip-hop side of the album that contains of "Phresh Out the Runway", "Pour It Up" and "Numb".
    And there’s the dance pop and EDM side that consists of songs like "Right Now", "Jump" and "Nobody's Business".
    And there’s a third side that has all the pop ballads like "Diamonds", "Stay", "Half of Me" and "What Now" for example. I honestly could’ve done without "Loveeeeeee Song", "Get It Over With", "No Love Allowed" and "Lost In Paradise". The album drags a bit towards the end. "Unapologetic" sounds like Rihanna recorded three albums at the same time and then suddenly decided to throw all the material together to create one album. It’s not very cohesive and parts of it (the EDM ones) sound pretty dated now. However, it’s not a bad album overall and I connect a lot of good memories with this album. Nowadays, I don’t listen to this one a lot and it’s definitely one of Rihanna's weaker albums. "Diamonds" and "Stay" are gigantic hits and everyone who was alive in 2013 probably knows them. Also this has nothing to do with the music itself but that album cover has to be one of my favorite album covers ever.

Это последний релиз Рианны на "Def jam" и , я думаю, они должны быть очень довольны его результатами. На альбоме много средних песен, но так же и бриллиантов, котороые заставляют забыть о недочетах.Поработав с новыми продюссерами Рианна выпускает Поп/РНБ альбом с кладезью хитов.

    Rihanna's seventh album finally gives a taste of the lyrical value that 'Rated R' had. The only issues on this album is that some of the production was quite risky and didn't always pay off, but the vocals on this album were top notch and comparable to that of those on display on 'Loud'. The features on this album were a big part of the problem and I believe that stems from the fact thatRihanna's seventh album finally gives a taste of the lyrical value that 'Rated R' had.

    Eu sinceramente não sei qual o problema dos usuários do metacritic com Rihanna, todas as avaliações dela nesse site são baixas, até nesse álbum transcendental que é o unapologetic. O álbum não tem UMA música ruim, é IMPACTANTE em todas elas.

    «Unapologetic» is by no means a bad album, it'd be nearly impossible to combine the music industry's best songwriters, producers and Rihanna's charismatic delivery and not create quality music.

    Of all Rihanna's album this is what I didn't see the cohesion and production she always presented, the tracks have stressed tendencies only with sounds and emotions. It has a basic sound and not something that surprises me as it happened with old releases.

    This album is a good job by Rihanna and her team, much of the mixed and negative reviews are for collaborating with Chris Brown on it, as they only focus on that is the forgotten vocal and versatility of Rihanna in her seventh album.

    Unapologetic is the reflection of the chameleon that Rihanna is with her music, she is always one step ahead in the industry. This excellent album is the blueprint of the self-titled album by Beyoncé and Bangerz by Miley Cyrus, not to mention that Rihanna once again set a trend during that time and artists are still using it as a reference.

    I wish Rihanna had done an album with more tracks like Diamonds and Stay, which are my favourite songs.

    Definitely one of Rihanna's most mature album, which once more gave us memorable hits, like only Rihanna can give. Still missing some cohesion.

    She sent us one of the best track on her career: loveee song. Still don't know why this music didn't get a videoclipe. ;/. The tour? My favorite. So well constructed.

    An immediate sensation, filled with endless hits and fantastic music, birthing new styles and setting new trends as always. With stunning sweet ballads and catchy hip hop songs. The album is without a doubt infectious.

    Bold, catchy, and self assured Unapologetic is Rihanna's most open and vulnerable album. She lays her heart bear for all to see. She doesn't care what we think, she's simply allowing herself to be known. There's something so beautiful in certain she is in herself. she sings about how she's lived and lost and how she's not afraid to do it again, but you best believe it'll be on her terms.

    The now-24-year-old's voice may be simple, but it's distinctive--and as defiant as her album titles.

    Even when Unapologetic fails, it often does so in interesting ways.

    Sonically, the first half of Unapologetic picks up on the syrupy Southern hip-hop minimalism popular last summer, while much of the latter half is a grab bag of unwieldy balladry.
