Loud stands very much on Rated R. In my view, one can not compare the 2. Rated R is grim, the lyrics are more personal. Loud is the complete opposite. Rihanna has fun on this album, making party and a pandemonium :)
1. S & M 8/10
Super catchy, with time nervts but a little. However, the remix of her and Britney is super 10/10
2. What's My Name? 10/10
3. Cheers (Drink To That) 9/10
4. Fading 8/10
5. Only Girl (In The World) 9/10
6. California King Bed 5/10
7. Man Down 4/10
8. Raining Men 6/10
9. Complicated 7/10
10. Skin 7/10
11. Love The Way You Lie (Part II) 10/10
The CD is really recommended and should be in every shelf !!
It's also nice that additional DVD.
