    My favorite album from Rated R, I sincerely believe that the long wait was worth it, this album is amazing. One of the best albums of the year. Good job Rihanna!

    Anti is, undoubtedly, Rihanna's best album so far. Not because she delivered "good" music, a.k.a. profitable, but because this is all her. Her persona is all over the tracks. As daring as Kanye's Yeezus and equally genius: an album with no fillers is what every artist should be aiming too. Perhaps not what we expected, but pure creativity.

    O segundo melhor dela na minha opinião. Coeso, despretensioso e original. Não é fácil de digerir, assim como o Rated R... Mas com o passar do tempo vai ficando cada vez mais claro que esses são as obras-primas da carreira.

    ANTI is definitely a stand out in Rihanna's discography. Unlike her last albums, this is a whole body of work. Every song flows so well with each other. There is no single filler here. The album also could be seen as her most personal work yet, even exceeding Rated R. She contributed to every song which is a testament to her artistry. She also showcases vocals we've never witnessed before.ANTI is definitely a stand out in Rihanna's discography. Unlike her last albums, this is a whole body of work.

She contributed to every song which is a testament to her artistry. She also showcases vocals we've never witnessed before. She never sounded as good as on Love On The Brain. It also reminds of a more jazzy route which continues with Higher. A breathtaking emotional song. It shows her vulnerability and personality.

    Yet she still showcases her roots with Work featuring Drake. She doesn't neglet her past music and still does different music compared to the stale R&B/Hip Hop music the charts represent. Needed Me might not be the biggest change in her music, but it's such a good and catchy song. It also represents the theme of the album very well. Different sides of love in her personal live. Never Ending also represents that. A good ballad that talks about a new found love and the confusing feelings it comes with it.

    Rihanna doesn't fail to experiment either.
    Consideration showcases a new side to her craft. A production which is a standout on this album. SZA compliments the song very well too. Same Ol' Mistake took me by a huge surprise. Her covering a Tame Impala song might sound like rubbish, but she actually found herself in the song and for me she does the song justice. Worth the 6 minutes of listening sessions every time.

    This time the album isn't a singles collection. It it a definite body of music and Rihanna suceeded to create an album worthy to be called her best yet.    … Expand

    Waouh! Rihanna did it once again.

    ANTi is definitely Rihanna's best album, simple, emotional with many poetry.

Listening to this masterpiece could make you have orgasms. You don't need a partner anymore to feel the pleasure    Waouh! Rihanna did it once again.

    ANTi is definitely Rihanna's best album, simple, emotional with many poetry.

    She shows us who she really is, not at commercial pop star for teenagers but a real and great artist, who co-writes her own songs. Instrumentals are delicious. Listening to this masterpiece could make you have orgasms. You don't need a partner anymore to feel the pleasure just listen to ANTi it's that simple. Rihanna's voice is a jewelry, a pure miracle coming from heaven.

    Very far from her farmer pop/dancefloor commercial songs, she made a difference choice and that is much for her credit. In her fragility, she finds her strength and that's why she constantly renewing herself as an artist, she surpasses herself and never stop surprising her fans and the audience in general for 11 years now. And God knows that not every artist can afford to surprise and generate as Rihanna do a sense of excitement through time.

    I love every song on the album. She's versatile as always. It's a personal album in which anybody, the young and the not so young, black, white, yellow, red, rainbow people could identify.
    Lyrics are powerful (Love On The Brain, Higher) meaningful and deep (Kiss It Better, Close To You) it's an album in which we can party and bullshhh (Work, Pose), where we can make love (Sex With Me, Yeah I said it, Same Ol Mistakes), in which we can get high (James Jones, Consideration), when you don't manage to sleep (Never Ending), to play after an hard day at work, or to celebrate the weekend (Desperado), useful when you're partner cheated on you (Needed Me, Woo), to play at funerals (Goodnight Gotham). Every song could help us to get better in life, to love life, to appreciate what we're doing, what we have, to enjoy moments we're sharing.

    As a conclusion, ANTi is an EXCELLENT, BRILLIANT, INTELLIGENT, SASSY, TIMELESS, INNOVATIVE, anyway a BEYOND PERFECT album in which each song deserves an award. Masterpiece now makes sense to me.

    Once again, well done Rihanna !!! Don't stop blessing the world with musicals work of art such as ANTi... what else ? 10/10.    … Expand

    Anti is a departure from Rihanna's previous material, leaving behind the club and dance genres of her previous releases for a predominantly pop and R&B[30] [31] album with elements of dancehall and soul. The album's production has been characterized as being, dark, sparsely layered, bouncy, with lo-fi bass, old school styles, downtempo moodiness and electro-soul minimalism. Lindsay ZoladzAnti is a departure from Rihanna's previous material, leaving behind the club and dance genres of her previous releases for a predominantly pop and R&B[30] [31] album with elements of dancehall and soul. The album's production has been characterized as being, dark, sparsely layered, bouncy, with lo-fi bass, old school styles, downtempo moodiness and electro-soul minimalism. Lindsay Zoladz of Vulture believed that "to neatly classify Anti by genre, you'd have to invent one," which she described as being "industrial dancehall". Ben Rayner of The Toronto Star stated that Anti is divided into two halves; the first consisting of "futuristic robo-R&B", whilst the second half contains "a more organic breed of soul".

    The album's lyrical content predominantly touches upon themes of relationships, exploring what it means to be in love, to get hurt, to need someone, and to be true to yourself.The theme of relationships is picked up in numerous songs; "Kiss It Better" sees Rihanna questioning how far an ex-lover will go to get her back; in "Woo", Rihanna turns spiteful, stating she does not care for her ex-partner, while "Never Ending" features Rihanna admitting she would like to be in love again. The album's themes were also noted as being unapologetic, with an uncaring attitude, and self-assurance.

    During the album's recording Rihanna aimed to create an album that was both "soulful" and "aggressive", elaborating on this she stated that the aggressive and soulful themes would be heard in the musical, lyrical and vocal context.During a press conference in early 2014, Rihanna told MTV News that she aimed to depart from the musical style of her previous releases, which she described as being "big songs. From the jump, they just blow up." Rihanna continued to state that with Anti she would be focusing on music that "felt real" and soulful and would be timeless. She also stated that she wanted to record songs that could be "timeless" and that she could perform 15 years later. "Not any songs that were burnt out. I find that when I get on stage now, I don't want to perform a lot of my songs. They don't feel like me."    … Expand

    The new album of Rihanna is really different from all the things we saw in "Music of the Sun" to "Unapologetic". As its name implies, "Anti", the album against everything that Rihanna has done. The songs have a footprint over 80s to 90s, classic ballads, and it's all very danceable and wonderful. This is a great Rihanna album that captivated me from the first time I heard.

The presentational Rihanna is so unlike anyone I know that she can say anything she wants about her musical punany as long as she leaves Chris Brown out of it--with this artist, sex is figurative, symbolic, the mark of a pleasure taker turned pleasure provider. So Anti is her best album for a reason so simple it's tautological--despite its supposed rejection of track-and-hook mechanics, it features catchier songs. True, the main time they really make me go woo is when she breaks into gibberish at the end of "Work." But then some German hands her "Love on the Brain," the best new doowop song in decades, which segues perfectly to a power entreaty avec drunk violins, after which the album proper goes out on a piano-enhanced coda that adds a nice sweetness. Only instead of savoring this narrative arc, why don't you just proceed to the three bonus tracks, which top an M.I.A. move with none other than "Sex With Me"?… Expand

    Amazing album! It's without a doubt her best album!
    There's a variety of different songs that she offers on this album, including; Dancehall, R'n'B, Ballad etc.
    This album truly expresses her true vocal ability, especially 'Love on the brain'.

    HER BEST ALBUM SO FAR!!
    I am very happy and above all, proud that Rihanna has created this album. It is a work of art from the beginning, with the best song opening until the last. His best vocals are on this record, great quality and with a versatility throughout the 50 minutes of duration.
    It's going to be very difficult to get over this album because she've taken care of every detail.    HER BEST ALBUM SO FAR!!

    It is very different from everything she has done before, she has been more involved and has put a lot of effort and enthusiasm in this project.
    CONGRATIS FOR THIS WONDERFUL ALBUM, RIH!
    Without a doubt, my favorite album. Everyone must have it    … Expand

    ANTI empieza firme, decididísimo, convencido de que éstos son sus principios y con ellos hasta la muerte. Adiós al polígono, al dance, al petardeo, a la música de y para tronistas: esto es el disco-protesta de Rihanna, su canto de madurez.

    Bad Gal RiRi released a work of art back in 2016. Rihanna's Anti is her best work in my opinion. I loved all the songs on the album especially songs like "Work ft Drake," "Kiss it Better," "Needed Me," "Same Ol' Mistakes," and "Close to you." Give this album a listen; it's definitely worth your time. I highly recommend it.

    Rihanna simply dropped the pop and invested deep in the R & B and gave super right. The album has something immersive, and an incredible essence. I never thought Rihanna would be so right on that side of the album, just incredible! One of the best albums of 2016.

    i can get angry when people don't find this album to be Rihanna's best album to date, and I'm glad that at the end of this decade, tons of critics finally realize how incredible this album is. TBH, I don't care how long it takes for Rihanna to finally drop her next album, as long as it's as good as ANTI, that's how good this album is.

Com a promessa de um trabalho coeso, pessoal e atemporal (que foi cumprido), Rihanna acertou em cheio em apostar na sua própria autenticidade junto da experimentação. ANTI é um album provocativo, maduro e agradável. Passando pela composição visual da capa, videoclipes e até mesmo os figurinos da turnê, um composto estético pensado para refletir o conteúdo lírico e sonoro, tudo em perfeita harmonia. Letras que relatam de uma forma despudorada os sentimentos de uma mulher que carrega em si as dores, dificuldades e vitórias de uma imigrante caribenha. A produção do álbum beira o impecável, os vocais mais aproveitados do que antes e até mesmo a ordem das músicas no cd trabalham em favor da obra. O primeiro contato com ANTI desperta emoções e dúvidas que futuramente se transformam em memórias e entendimentos. ANTI te atinge de imediato mas como qualquer outro trabalho de impacto duradouro, melhora com o passar do tempo. Quem se deixou levar pelas impressões iniciais provavelmente mudou de opinião no meio do caminho e essa foi a intenção de Rihanna: ir contra, ser oposto, duvidoso mas de qualquer forma impactante como nunca.… Expand

ANTI is a jewel, masterpiece, timeless and ended up winning for the love of all the public, we no longer care about the criticism of those who claim to be experts.
