@ Dummemore and Corrine. I agree with your interpretations and I know every picture probably have some hidden message behind it but I still think that there is no reason for Rihanna to be half-naked in almost every picture. I think that some type of nudity should be in this project but shouldnâ€™t be the main focus of the project. Generally I donâ€™t think this photo shoot is bad but I just think it could be better and less predictable.

I don't even know if the booklet lets you know anything about her past months but I feel that Def Jam or whoever she's under contract with right now is trying to capitalize on nudity. Don't get me wrong I think she's quite hot and everything but if you look at how she went from Pon de Replay to Umbrella – constantly topping the charts the last years – and how there has hardly been any news in the past months I believe this is mostly a push to get her back into business.

Also I don't like how they release two or three singles off of the album at once. I believe they barely made it into the Billboard Top 100.

WELL RIHANNA'S MUSIC IS FOR ADULTS 18 AND UP NOW. IF YOU ARE YOUNGER YOU ARE NOT GONNA UNDERSTAND. CHRISTINA AGUILERA DID IT BACK IN '02. TRYING TO GET RID OF THE KIDS THAT WERE LISTENING TO HER MUSIC. SHE WANTED TO BE SEEN AS AN ADULT. THIS IS WHAT RIHANNA IS DOING. THERE ARE A LOT OF KIDS/TEENS THAT LISTEN TO HER MUSIC. THIS MAY PUT THEM OFF BUT ADULTS WILL FLOCK TO HER MUSIC AS WELL AS THE 16 AND 17 YEAR OLD CROWD. ANYWAYS I AM A FEMALE SO IM PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GET THE PHYSICAL COPY. I DON'T FEEL THE NEED TO SEE RIRI NAKED.

@Corrine- great interpretation of the photo shoot.

yes, actually the entire cover and inside photos seemed like she was both mocking everything said about her and owning it and throwing it back in people's faces.

Notice how that one photo of her holding the camera looks familiar? It's because it's designed to look like the leak photo where she's taking a pic in mirror. This time, however, Rihanna's taking a pic of US, the viewers. She is saying 'what is the problem people? You loved seeing my naked pictures when they weren't supposed to be for your eyes and you knew they weren't, But when I control my own pictures and am not being taken advantage of, you all suddenly think it's bad? So looking at me nude is cool if I'm the victim (of pics leaking) but not when I am in control?" She's calling out folks as hypocrites. Even the cover shot has her covering her eye and pouting. This whole project is about her owning what happened to her in her own way. that is why I find it so fearless
