    Muito alarde e promoção, bem mais pelo lado dos fãs para esse álbum. Depois de décadas para lançar Rihanna lança esse álbum chato para ouvir com uma melodia incrivelmente ruim. Além disso, desconsidera singles só porque não fizeram sucesso. Decadência musical de Rihanna

    L'album est horriblement mauvais. Les pires chansons, les pires sons. Rihanna n'est plus, elle a attendu trop longtemps pour cet opus qui sentait déjà le caca avant même d'être sortit.

    Rihanna has made me unhappy all year, her music is not "cool" this time. Your "work" gets no points from me, worst song I've ever heard. The most overrated song I have ever had the misfortune to witness in years. I have never disliked a song more in my life. A pathethic noise on the airwaves. "Needed me" shouldn't be anywhere either. What are those songs doing in the billboard? Streams.Rihanna has made me unhappy all year, her music is not "cool" this time. Your "work" gets no points from me, worst song I've ever heard.

In fact she is the worst and my least favorite of all time. Awful. Expand

    Again Rihanna tries to do something mature. However, she can't do something good. It's sad that she always has huge hits. Work is one of the most ridiculous song ever. Shame on her.

    Realmente é um dos álbuns mais sem nexo e coesão de toda a carreira de Rihanna. Se a história que Kanye pegou todo o conteúdo do álbum e levou com ele, deixando-a apenas com faixas descartáveis, isso ninguém tem certeza. Mas ao ouvir o ANTI, temos quase certeza disso.

    With this album Rihanna again tries very hard to be something she is not which is a serious artist. She had bad single after bad single until she again ran to Drake to get her obviously payola radio play. The vocals are the worse I have heard from her and the transitions between songs don't make since. At almost 30 the good girl gone bad stage is getting boring and stale.

    This album is awful. It's just terrible pop music that doesn't deserve a good score at all. It's literally Twitter meme music, which is bad. Bad album 0/10

    I expected much more. Rihanna is very upset. The most overrated album in 2016. The album does not carry any value . 3 hits before the album was much better

    Simplesmente o pior álbum de 2016. Esse álbum é uma mancha na discografia da Rihanna, quem diria que ela viraria essa porca que quer inventar conceito que não existe? 3 anos para lançar esse álbum foi um exagero já que contém letras tão vazias e ritmos tão mortos. Rihanna eu te abomino por ter lançado esse álbum e por forçar o valahdd a gostar dele.

    A weak attempt to sound authentic. Rihanna, who sings half EMPTi stadiums, fails to achieve her goal with this album. Bland, repetitive, unoriginal, poorly written and with terrible production.

    this is just club songs all together. nothing about this album is deep or meaningful and it’s not cohesive. rihanna is a terrible artist and to have waited 3 years for it is ridiculous. the worst album realised in 2016. rihanna really can’t make a proper album and it shows. only knows how to steal hit songs and “appeal” to the gp.

    it's just another Rihanna album and while it certainly is one of her best, it's not a huge masterpiece in general and especially when it is being compared to greater albums.

    More of the same from her. This album is supposed to be anti-pop, that is the typical strategized pop album where she aims to be more experimental in order to stray away from the expected pop sound and structure but she takes us to a place we've been before and it's just tired. This is the same rebellious, talk that sh*t/talk, unapologetic, good girl gone bad attitude from her that we'veMore of the same from her.

    Pure innovation. It's one of those albums that you don't understand the first time you listen. But, with each listen, you get hooked more and more. A delight.

    I don't really understand the critical acclaim this album has received, it's easily her worst. There's no hits on here such as Don't Stop the Music, Umbrella or S&M... really boring album.

    One of the most coherent and surprising big-ticket pop albums in years. [Apr 2016, p.79]

    In many ways, ANTI is a step in the right direction for Rihanna, creatively.

    It's confusing, with flaky endings and mood swings, and an utterly compelling mix of not caring at all and desperately caring. [Apr 2016, p.87]
