    3. She looked and sounded ready last night in concert, SAMANTHA! She sounded ready for whatever on Diane Sawyer too. Did she tell you she wasn't ready? The CD is jammin!!

      The bottom line is, Rihanna needed and said she wanted to get back to work. Werk it, RiRi!!!

    4. This is available on the iTunes store. It's listed as a "Free Album." but those who have an iTunes Store Account reply with comments saying they're charged $10+.

    14. Thanks for posting. It did say it was free on iTunes but they give you a 30 second preview of Russian Roulette.

    15. Can someone kindly give me a summary of what she says about the songs. I can't

      listen cause I don't want to hear the new songs yet :-)

      Comment by maison martin margie — November 17, 2009 @ 9:30 am

    16. @Samantha didn't I tell you to shut up in one of the previous post. You always come to this site and have something negative to say. If you hate her so much which is obvious that you. Why do you keep coming to her site. You cannot find something constructive to do? Rihanna is so articulate.

      ‘Cause I know revenge is sweet, so sweet

      This is a gang.

      [Chorus:]

      You know I’m down

      I’m down for life…loaded, reloaded

      Let’s go!

      Gangsta life…’til the day that I die

      Yeah, I promise I’ll stand in high

      You know that I’m there, you know we down

      Gangsta for life…

      We drivin’ by with them headlights off

      We know where you stay

      Know what you did

      We don’t play that shit

      Everybody quiet when you did your dirt

      Actin’ like a Bitch funna get you hurt

    21. Okay so I'm going to be real honest about the songs I like and don't like on the album…..the ones I do like r russian roulette, hard, rude boy(this song is hot lol), mad house, cold case love, and firebomb…the rest of the songs I'm realy not feeling and I'm still stuck on the fence with the last song( yes that's the name of the song lol) and rockstar and I absolutely hate stupid in love uhhh but overall a good album just not all wat I expected for her comeback….but I'm sure she's goin to realese some more new songs and re release her album like gggb

    30. does anyone know what song is the bonus track for the nokia rated r album is it bauble pop

      Comment by lilly — November 17, 2009 @ 10:07 am

    31. @MMM sorry too much information to summarise." Russian Roulette" was suppose to be one of the songs to end the album but after listening to the album it made sense for it to be first. It was written by Neyo." Cold Case Of Love" was written by Justin Timberlake. Its about going back to a bad relationship and trying to revive a dead relationship. She said people can relate to it because at one point in their life they have experienced the same thing. "Rock Star 101" L.A. Reid brought it to her and she listened to it on his lap top and she loved it. They turned in the albumalmost 48 hours late because of this song. L.A. called up Slash 9 am to asked him to work on the album and she was happy because she has always wanted to work with him. "Photographs" was the last song on the album. Jay Brown brought it to her and she went over to Will I. Am's house to listen to it. It was meant for the Black eyed peas, but she said made more sense for her since it told the story of her life. Will wouldn't give in at first and finally he gave in. thats what persistence gets you. "Hard" lyrical different from anything she has ever done. Its cocky and their is a long of bragging on hers and Young Jeezys part. She likes performing it though because its one of the least serious song on the album. "Wait Your Turn" one of the first songs done on the album. It was done in London. She worked with Chase and Status on it. Its about her claiming her spot in the industy and she is saying that she is not giving it up so she is saying wait your turn."Stupid in Love" was written by Neyo (he is a genius) it was written a few days before this years grammy. It was the first song on the album. She said it was like a premonition. Its about being blinded by love and coming to terms with the state of your relationship and just saying this is not what I stand for. You still love the person but you are not stupid. Let me just apologize for any typographical and grammatical error/s. MMM I tried my best so if I left out something then others feel free to tell.

      Comment by Motherlizard — November 17, 2009 @ 10:18 am

    32. i just love the album so much. i bet her next album will be an even bigger smash. who knows what the future will bring. i just hope that rumor about chris releasing the sextape on the week of her album release is 100% garbage.

      Comment by cold case love — November 17, 2009 @ 10:20 am

    33. What does she mean by 'I have never been a size 10 in my whole life?' I don't get that line.

      Comment by vivienne — November 17, 2009 @ 10:36 am

    34. @cold pls take that rubbish out of here….the woman beater is on probation for 5yrs you forgot the terms of his probation. Don't you think he will be dead man walking _G4L

      Comment by Hatin on the club — November 17, 2009 @ 10:54 am

    35. I think she's talking about who ever this girl is that left the ? is a size 10. She (rihanna) is not a size 10,it doesn't belong to her.It belongs to someone else who left it…I guess she was being cheated on,maybe? I haven't listened to the whole song yet because I want to wait and listen when I get the album.

      Can someone else explain it bettter who has listened to the whole song?

      Comment by c.o.m — November 17, 2009 @ 11:07 am

      Comment by Murphy — November 17, 2009 @ 11:59 am

    38. @vivienne

      c.o.m. hit the nail on the head. She found another woman's size 10 whatever. LOL.

      Comment by TakeABow2 — November 17, 2009 @ 12:28 pm

    39. 'I've never, have I ever been a size 10 in my whole life'

      means this love completely stressed her life and she got fat,

      people usually put weight on when they're depressed

      Comment by Wether's love — November 18, 2009 @ 2:43 am

    40. RIHANNA HAS THE MOST EMOTIONAL AND AMAZING ALBUM. I CERTIANLY KNOW IT WONT FLOP DEF JAMS MISTAKES WITH OTHER ARTIST WONT BE THE SAME FOR RIHANNA. THEY GOT EVERYTHING RIGHT THIS ARTIST AROUND. THE ONLY PROBLEM THEY COULD MAKE IS PICKING THE WRONG SINGLES WHICH THEY ARE NOTORIOUS FOR. BUT RIHANNA HAS A VOICE AND IM SURE SHE WILL CHOOSE THE CORRECT SINGLES *CROSSES FINGERS FOR "COLD CASE LOVE" AND "ROCKSTAR"* LOL SO SAMANTHA THAT COMMENT WAS TRUELY UNWARRANTED AND NOT NEEDED.

      Comment by part-time stan — November 18, 2009 @ 8:01 pm

    43. After listening to the interview n the snippets of songs that were played i feel like each song especially cold case love and photographs were talking about chris brown. Hopefully when the album comes out and we can listen to the songs properly it wont be that way cause im soooooo excited for it :)
