    By the end of Anti, Rihanna may not arrive at any definitive conclusions about her art but she's allowed herself to be unguarded and anti-commercial, resulting in her most compelling record to date.

    One of the most mature and completed albums bi Rihanna. It showcases her involvement in the lyrics, and the production is a great turn away from the pop dance production she did in her last albums. I did fell like this album had some highlights and low points, and some of the lyrics still felt generic to me. But it's an improvement, and I'm curious about Rihanna next steps in music.

The moment Rihanna stepped into the reigns exercising the control over her music, image and business. Her singles each chart contenders- startlingly with their versatility-suggested something greater in the woodworks. She delivered. From the confident sza assisted opener or the industrial Travis scott feature that feels unfinished in the best way we are confronted by a pop album that defys it's categorization. Split into halves:bad **** vs. sad **** she does slow down commitment to complete the listen as the second half can feel bloated and has a generic moment in the well intended forgettable "never ending". The coverart is so ampt*a photo of a young robyn fente with a large crown covering her face on a white background with red splashed through. Seems like a depiction of rebirth or even the alchemical child of legends said to represent the mystic nature of change which is what this album does effectively. Pop will never forget the moment where it's own royalty tore at the machine that ran her,took a victory tour then vanished from the music before we could process her impact. My first listen of this record felt uncomfortable. I liked experimental music but i think entering a record by an artist like her who has expectations attached to her LP's seeing the liberties taken felt so overwhelming.

    Increíble, Rihanna se ha esforzado por crear un álbum cohesionado y lo ha conseguido. Pocas canciones es escapan de la excelencia en este disco y ha demostrado una vez más que todo lo que toca lo convierte en oro. Aunque me cueste, me quedo con Love On The Brain, Kiss It Better, Desperado y Higher. No entiendo cómo después de tener 8 nominaciones a los GRAMMYs no se llevara ninguno.

ANTI is a jewel, masterpiece, timeless and ended up winning for the love of all the public, we no longer care about the criticism of those who claim to be experts.

Com a promessa de um trabalho coeso, pessoal e atemporal (que foi cumprido), Rihanna acertou em cheio em apostar na sua própria autenticidade junto da experimentação. ANTI é um album provocativo, maduro e agradável. Passando pela composição visual da capa, videoclipes e até mesmo os figurinos da turnê, um composto estético pensado para refletir o conteúdo lírico e sonoro, tudo em perfeita harmonia. Letras que relatam de uma forma despudorada os sentimentos de uma mulher que carrega em si as dores, dificuldades e vitórias de uma imigrante caribenha. A produção do álbum beira o impecável, os vocais mais aproveitados do que antes e até mesmo a ordem das músicas no cd trabalham em favor da obra. O primeiro contato com ANTI desperta emoções e dúvidas que futuramente se transformam em memórias e entendimentos. ANTI te atinge de imediato mas como qualquer outro trabalho de impacto duradouro, melhora com o passar do tempo. Quem se deixou levar pelas impressões iniciais provavelmente mudou de opinião no meio do caminho e essa foi a intenção de Rihanna: ir contra, ser oposto, duvidoso mas de qualquer forma impactante como nunca.… Expand

    o álbum é simplesmente espetacular, lindo e nos faz ter sentimentos reais pelo o que estamos ouvindo, entretanto tem uma música muito ruim nele: work.

    This masterpiece of art came once in a century. Rihanna outdid herself in this project . Every track in the album is so good produced and written . I enjoy the experience of listening to the album track by track . It's definitely the best album this past decade and the best this century so far .

"Kiss It Better", "Higher", "Love On The Brain", "Never Ending" e o cover maravilho de "Same Old Love", por Tame Impala, beijam o "Blues" e apresentam boas construções harmônicas trazendo uma nova visão dela para a sua carreira.

    Rihanna has once again proven that she is above and beyond what the rest of the world is doing. This album is about art now simply music. This album will go down with the classics like Madonna's Erotica and Ray of Light.

    Bad Gal RiRi released a work of art back in 2016. Rihanna's Anti is her best work in my opinion. I loved all the songs on the album especially songs like "Work ft Drake," "Kiss it Better," "Needed Me," "Same Ol' Mistakes," and "Close to you." Give this album a listen; it's definitely worth your time. I highly recommend it.

    Rihanna simply dropped the pop and invested deep in the R & B and gave super right. The album has something immersive, and an incredible essence. I never thought Rihanna would be so right on that side of the album, just incredible! One of the best albums of 2016.

    Well, the truth is that it is the second best album of his career after "Talk That Tlak", I love it from beginning to end, it is a beautiful album that has songs for all tastes, I do not think there is an album as perfect as "ANTi" at present.

    This album in my opinion is definitely one of her best to this date and shows she still has the ability to make a hit after many years in the spotlight.

    1. Consideration ft. SZA, great catchy reggae inspired track that shows their talents as singers 9/10 2.

    2. James Joint, a great interlude, even though interludes can't really be "great" songs 7/10
    3. Kiss It Better, amazing song that shows how RiRi feels in her relationships 9/10
    4. Work ft. Drake, super catchy dancehall song with one of Drakes best features 10/10
    5. Desperado, amazing song with a western feel Rihanna experiments with 9/10
    6. Woo, ok then, its a little annoying but Travis Scott saves the song a bit with the chorus 6/10
    7. Needed Me, really great beat by DJ Mustard, and one of my personal favorites 10/10
    8. Yeah, I Said It, how does RiRi even find these tracks, they are great 9/10
    9. Same Ol' Mistakes, its a cover but doesn't do anything special for the album 6/10
    10. Never Ending, it should have been cut, worst on album 4/10
    11. Love On The Brain, this was the track I always wanted from RiRi, best on album 10/10
    12. Higher, its a great interlude, better than James Joint for sure 8/10
    13. Close To You, might as well call it never ending part 2. its not good but not bad 5/10
    14. Goodnight Gotham, I respect this song, but don't "like" it 6/10
    15. Pose, Im the only person that likes it 7/10
    16. Sex With Me, this song is a great ending song to a great album 10/10

    Standouts are Needed Me, Love On The Brain & Sex With Me

    Overall: 7.8 (rounded up to 8) this is an amazing album from Rihanna and near her best, cutting Never Ending and Close to You would have been great and maybe replacing them with Pose and Sex With Me for the deluxe edition would have been better    … Expand

    Much more innovative and different to Rihanna's earlier releases, though ANTI still stays true to Rihanna's roots in dancehall and music from the carribbean. Best tracks: Same Ol' Mistakes, Love on The Brain, Desparado, Consideration and the undeniably best song on the album; Kiss it Better. 9 only for that annoying guitar in Woo.

    This is not the Rihanna we used to know, and that's a good thing. I am not happy with the fact, that she is giving us another floppy lyrics (Work) like she used to do with the previous albums. And even with two or three songs which are shorter than 3 minutes, I think its her one of the best albums.

    This album is amazing, is different, that's for sure if you're expecting beachy pop/dance songs id say you should skip this album. Love on The Brain, Higher, Desperado, Needed Me and James Joint serve as the highlights. it has a wonderful vocal production. Rihanna killed it. Even though it sold 460 copies in a week, its one of Riri's best album so far.
