Rihanna "Loud"

Rihanna gets “Loud” on this record as she kicks it off wild and crazy with “S&M” and whips,chains, this catchy hook that have you singing ”Cause I may be bad/But I’m perfectly bad at it/sex in the air, I don’t care I love the smell of it/Sticks and stones may break my bones/But chains and whips excite me.” I love the island breeze of “What’s My Name” and the fact that dreezy also appears on this track. This next track is part of a killer album that was worthy enough to follow-up the cinematic “Rated R,” so lets “Cheers (Drink To That)” which borrows the hook of I’m With You by Avril and has a great beat and message “Life's too short to be sittin' 'round miserable/People gon' talk whether you doing bad or good, yeah/Got a drink on my mind and my mind on my money, yeah/Looking so bomb, gonna find me a honey, yeah.” I’m “Fading” into this beautiful song with the nice synth and piano waves over the hip-hop beat that fades with a string-laden finish. I don't know what it feels like to be the “Only Girl (In The World),” but this dance hit may have you say the same thing on this “California King Bed;” which is a very sentimental song about being far from your loved one, but envisioning them right by your side, and again it has a nice solo.  This fun and reggae like organ,omnipresent police sirens loud enough to hear but not to th point wher it distracts you from the other elements with the rasta-like vocal delivery on this track reveals how she had shot a “Man Down,” becoming a criminal, because she was only retaliating by taking his life as he took her heart and killed it by cheating on her; I hardly believe that is the best solution. Nicki Minaj and Rihanna bring their Umbrella because it’s “Raining Men” with this addictive hook and unrelenting beat that just has you ready to sway back and forth. The next track has us stripping to the writing these things have become real “Complicated,” but this song has very passionate vocals from Rihanna on this scizhophrenic relationship “And every minute you start switching up/And you say things like you don't give a f***/Then I say, I'm through with you, take my heart from you/ And you come running after me and baby/ I'm back with you, oh” . The song starts with just those little cute keys for the first forty-one seconds until this beat starts to gradually pick up until the beat becomes dancier by 1:43 yet still mainting the same pace, and going back. I guess it seems "Complicated" to describe this change because the pace is the same, but it sounds different; It sounds like the Biebs in in this song during the group vocals.This song is definitely not difficult to love. “Skin” with this laid back instrumentation of only a beat, as the foreplay begins and then it has a killer guitar solo when they reach the climax; this song is about getting down.So we can say it might by an audio equivalent to the act of sex? Possibly, so it better be good; it is. I “Love The Way You Lie,” but stop giving me good comments when it is crud; I need constructive criticism.. Sequels aren’t always as good as the original, and though it has a nice beat and instrumentation it lacks the scalding fire that the original had,but still packs a punch in the face of a tale of domestic abuse. If I could only play 7 songs at77 decibels I would have to choose: What’s My Name, Cheers (Drink To That),California King Bed, Man Down, Raining Men, Complicated, and Skin.
