Free Music Review: Sent the wrong CD
Hit: 3 Stars
You sent "A girl like me"
not "reloaded"
I see you sent it from Argentina- It's not a big enough deal to send it back to you and have you and me pay extra shipping-

This was put out to be a wonder CD, but to be honest I am not a rap person but some of the tracks are worth the priceFree Music Review: A few good tracks.
Hit: 3 Stars
There's only a few quality tracks on this album, so I wish I'd just bought single CDs, instead of the whole album.Free Music Review: Truthfully Overexposed
Hit: 2 Stars
There is no question about the lack of really great albums this past year. It is very unfortunate that a lot of songs really didn't shine heart and soul. That is no doubt about it, with so many artists making poor albums that really felt like they gave more, that felt like it was a bunch of lemons. Rihanna is definitely no acception. After the overexposure of A Good Girl Gone Bad, she sadly hadn't made that opportunity shine after the overexposure of A Good Girl Gone Bad last year, with so much under her so-called Umbrella, it is very hard to say that not only wasn't it a good album, but she overexposed that appeal in 2008, with her re-editioned album. But let me put it this way, there really is nothing but very little that stays strong under this umbrella.
Rihanna's 2008, A Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded is a expanded edition of Rihanna's album from 2007. The collection of songs doesn't feel like it is a sparkle in the eye, but a lack of heart and mind. The collection of songs feels the mostly the same as it did before if you bought the original version of the album. While you have mostly the same songs as before like Umbrella, Shut Up & Drive the Michael Jackson-sampled Don't Stop The Music, which sampled Jackson's Thriller hit Wanna Be Startin' Something, and her recent track Rehab, which feels like the soul has been battered, and lacking splice. The extra song songs don't add any glimmer either. The extra songs like Take A Bow, which its lyrics felt like it was less than heartfelt saying to a man that he is ugly when he cries was just sad, the lagging Disturbia, and a made-up collaboration of If I Never See Your Face Again with Maroon 5. The feeling on that cover not only lacks any chemistry she has with Adam Levine from Maroon 5, but the song just was better when Maroon 5 originally recorded it on their own.
While the only song I did like was her collaboration with Ne-Yo on Hate That I Love You from the original album, I wasn't really that impressed with Rihanna's A Good Girl Gone Bad. As for the expanded version of that album, A Good Girl Gone bad: Reloaded, it sadly does dissapoint me. There really has been a lack of great albums this past year, and this one was a miss to my eyes. Honestly, Rihanna hasn't made a lot of great songs this past year. I really think she needs to find a better sense of making better songs that are heartfelt, than just feel flimsy under her umbrella.

Free Music Review: The Downfall of Rihanna
Hit: 2 Stars
I have the original Good Girl Gone Bad album by Rihanna. It was a pretty OK album, I constantly listened to it when I first bought it a while back. But then I got pretty sick of the repetitiveness of it. Some tracks, such as Shut Up and Drive, Question Existing, Push Up On Me, and Lemme Get That are the only ones that I would've downloaded, had I not bought the album. The rest of the album is just corny and annoying after a while. Then, she turned around and reissued the album, just when everyone was getting tired of Good Girl Gone Bad and when its singles were dying out. The "Reloaded" version isn't anything special. It includes 3 new songs: Take a Bow, Disturbia, and If I Never See Your Face Again (with Maroon 5). Take a Bow is just like any other cheesy attempt at a pop ballad commonly heard on the radio. Disturbia is the same, I swear I've heard songs just like it before. And Maroon 5 with Rihanna on If I Never See Your Face Again is just like water and electricity, it doesn't mix. If you really want to get this album, be warned because I think it sounded better in the store than in my stereo.
