New York Times: The songs, all written for her, are about hookups, breakups and adult pleasures, and they are set in the synthetic virtual world of radio-ready pop. Rihanna is clearly aware of competition from Lady Gaga, the Black Eyed Peas and Kesha, and she’s keeping pace. Even through Auto-Tune, her voice holds its tangy individuality. Slant Magazine: The singer hasn’t embraced—or exploited, depending on how you want to look at it—her Caribbean roots this much since her debut, and after hearing the entire album, her “loud” red hair and floral-pattern dresses make that much more sense. Washington Post: This album makes you wonder if Rihanna’s ever lived anywhere else than behind a microphone. She’s a technician above all, and can credit her success to a massive fan base that finds such uber-precision irresistible. NME Magazine: That voice, when she exploits the grit of that Barbadian burr to the max, is more unique and richly textured than ever, and that and her crack production team are all the personality . Actions after all, are louder than words. The Canadian Press: “Loud,” an 11-track set that is top-notch from its opener, the jamming fetish-revealer “S&M” to the closing number, the sequel to the riveting abuse tale “Love the Way You Lie,” where Eminem this time takes a back seat to Rihanna’s emotional roller coaster ride. And what’s in between is equally as fulfilling — or better. New York Daily News: Rihanna’s new disk is a thrilling refutation of her previous “Rated R.” Where that disk brooded with dark rhythms and dire pronouncements, “Loud” flirts and struts with joy. In every way that “R” sounded forced and self-conscious, the new one seems effortless and free. – The Observer: Described by the Barbadian diva as the “the next step in the evolution of Rihanna”, this fifth album more accurately asserts the return of good-time girl Rihanna following last year’s murky, rage-fuelled Rated R. 感覺都還不錯!!!! 不過評論都寫得好文謅謅XDDD 來源: http://rihannadaily.com/ --
