bu. Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Actually....it's pretty damn good, definitely in my top 5 of her albums, I don't think it's in my top 3 of em, but it's definitely. BUT....not worth the wait, and not worth signing your soul & 1st born son over to Tidal. Worth buying though. Like it really is a appropriate followup to Unapologetic for sure, but IDK, maybe Im salty over the wait and that only 2-3 songs so far really HOOKED me on 1st listen. Im going to really replay and live with it over the weekend to really let the songs sink in or see how many do.The standout tracks for me are without a doubt after 1st listen are1. Kiss It Better2. Love On The Brain3. Consideration4. Same Ol Mistakes (it has ALOT to do with the instrumentals I'd say)I mean...it is her 5th album so it' snot like you have anything else to choose from . We don't want to remember her Dream Street albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bu. Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 her fans are worse. They're hating on Rihanna so much on twitter and facebook lolThe feelings mutual between those two fanbases, it seems. I saw them unite once but I can't remember who it was against . Other than that, I've seen on Twitter and other boards that they really hate the other's face with passion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackCat77 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Well it's a bit over 40 minutes so it's not long. It's mostly mid to down tempo so it's more than likely going to be a grower but in a good way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bu. Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Wtf at these bonus tracks Rihanna was clearly on crack during the concoction of this album because a one minute track is not a song. Mess. Gotham could be so good if it actually had words and was longer. The music is pretty sick. Ugh. Pissed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bu. Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) @RIAACongratulations to @Rihanna! #ANTI is officially #RIAAPlatinum. @RocNation @TIDALHiFi Samsung bought a 1 million copies and gave a code for users to download it for free from Tidal. I'm not sure if Billboard will count it for the charts but I'm sure the album will be #1 Edited January 29, 2016 by Dammn Bu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Oh Rihanna It wouldn't have "sold" 1 million if Samsung didn't buy a million albums... #RespectLost Edited January 29, 2016 by #UnbreakableGame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bu. Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 No.. Samsung just promoted the album.. I'm sure Samsung users were able to download it for free and Billboard clocked him and said "No Ma'am" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidfresh832 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Its a similar deal to Jay-Z's deal. They paid for the amount of downloads to give away to Samsung customers. Billboard and Neilson are not counting these in their charts sales. Though the RIAA is recognizing ANTI’s milestone numbers, Billboard and Nielsen are not counting ANTI’s sales on TIDAL towards their totals. “There were conversations [with Billboard] early on when this promotion and partnership started, but ultimately it became about giving music directly to the fans,” Kim explained. “While everyone would’ve love to have it count, the thing that we’re focused on here is that it’s No. 1.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
