Very long I've been waiting for the release of Rihanna's fifth studio album. All the more disappointed I was when I finally was able to hear for the first time, I had quite high hopes invested in this board. Now since this day a lot of time has passed so I wanted to give the CD, which is now clearly slipped down in the stack, a second chance, so my review late date. However, I must confess that "LOUD" could hardly change at the second attempt, my opinion. For smooth and round and wanted the whole thing sounds, even if it can not be Rihanna take the jump or a different track on the current pabulum-Dance / House-R'n'B-hip-hop-train. In addition, it has dropped in its pinnacle, the ballad. Was this bearing on the previous album still the mood element entirely mediated a kind of depth, they must be easy to "LOUD", so one might say almost, schmaltzy. The best example is probably "California King Bed", which really very beautiful and soulful start no later than at the chorus such lard factor comes up that a seemingly know what hit. Now does that sound anything like that as if this album is a total disaster to which one is best as possible should make a big arch, which in turn also is not true. There are also quite good pieces on this CD, especially the second single "What's my name" on Rihanna the young American rapper Drake is featured. Just this title I trust still too great, since it is a very well-balanced piece on the two artists complement each other very well with a. The first single "Only Girl", which is reflected in my opinion one of the gelungeneren current dance R'n'B hybrid title worth listening. About the great rest of "LOUD" is afraid to say; it is pleasing without shine and sets Rihanna slight downward trend since "Good Girl Gone Bad" continues. It is a disc that also properly Loud belongs not too distracting from the daily grind and bursts for another leaves, "By the way music" easy. Not even listen and form their own opinion, and then buy or give: Because my mind like all the reviews here is Allerding highly subjective and colored by personal Gusto, also applies to this album. For those where Rihanna is new and want blind buy a CD of this undoubtedly very talented artist, which I put her third album "Good Girl Gone Bad" in the second edition of his heart.
