Hey all and happy weekend!

 

Round 5 is now open!! And we have just four albums left to choose from now.

 

Round 4 seen another UK chart topper exit the survivor as Talk that Talk left with 7/15 votes.

 

Talk that Talk is home to arguably Rihanna’s signature track in We Found Love and was released right at the peak of her career (if we go by her UK chart run). Talk that Talk was released in 2011 and followed on from the gigantic Loud to give her yet another major era. Its UK sales stand at over 1million so a huge success for her. I personally think it left the game at the right time (i actually prefer Unapologetic to this). I think there’s some great tracks on there but also some “meh” tracks for me and I think the whole era was quite rushed (which I can kind of see in a sense as her star power was so huge then they’d obviously want another album out there for the Q4 market.

 

A loud reissue I think may have initially been the plan but there’s nothing on here that really fits on Loud so I sense why a whole new era was planned. We also got a whole new image again complete with another hair transformation and a revamp to her style to fit the era.

 

Four albums remain! Again it’s a least favourite vote!

Anti for me.

ANTI for me.

Anti

I was very torn on this one but I’ve went for Good Girl Gone Bad here.

 

Its highs are very high but there is some filler on there amongst the album tracks. ANTI for me has gotten a lot better over the years after initially not necessarily getting it it’s a really well put together body of work where as Good Girl Gone Bad is a hits packed album but with ANTI too you can kind of feel her involvement a lot more.

 

 

GGGB.

It would be 'ANTI' for me.

Bumping this. Keep votes coming!
