Overall I think it is an improvement from Music Of The Sun.
Rihanna's back, and shows that she's here to STAY. The entire album is great. I first heard it online, and i was like yeah Rihanna is doing her thing once again. The album is filled with great ballads and i love it's for its diversity. There is a song on it for everyone.
Heres the song Break Down.
1) SOS- Whats left to say, excellent song, brillant move Def
Jam for making it the first singl--10/10
2) Kisses Dont Lie- I didn't like this osng at first, i was
like it sounds, just plain weird, but if
you actuallyLISTEN, to the lyrics you'll
fall in love with it.Nice mix of Reggea
and Rock--9/10
3) Unfaithful- thumbs up to my boy NE-YO superio lyrics,
Rihanna's still developing voice flows PERFECTLY
With the beat. The overall production was great.
10/10
4) We Ride- This was also another great song,lyrically,vocally,
and production wise. I can actually hear this being
turned up in peoples car this Summer. 10/10
5) Dem Haters- STRAIGHT UP REGGAE,IF YOU DONT LIKE REGGAE,THEN
THIS ONE AINT FOR YOU. But i loved it, this song
should be played at a loud volume when people are
hatin' on you. 9/10
6) Final Goodbye- It's a really sad song, it has some nice
lyrics nd the beat it's cool and slow. 9/10
7) Break it Off- For Best dance collaboration, this song has
the title both lyrically & vocally Rihanna
brings IT and Sean just spices the song up,
RECOMMENED 3rd single, for this SUMMER..
8) Crazy little thing called love- Like "Kisses Dont Lie" i was
like Uhh. But it's a passionate song, lyrically
it was slamin' but production was it's downfall.
8/10
9) Selfisg Girl- Nice song,nice lyrics, bad production, but
another overall "OK"-Reggae songs-7/10

song, production wasn't that
bad. 9/10
11) A Girl Like Me- The album titled track. I like this song,
as much as i liked Music of the sun, form
Music of the Sun,... I hope i didn't just
confuse you, 9/10
12) A Million Miles Away- Similar to UNfaithful, and NOW I KNOW
from her past album, but the song
remains as one of my favorite Ballads
on this album.Rihanna's vocally
maturing, and one day when she sings
this it will sound even better.9/10
13) If it's loving that you want.Part II- I love the orginally,
and i love this one
as well.9/10

5-STANDOUT TRACKS
SOS-
Unfaithful-
Break it Off-
We Ride-
*Dem Haters- For the island people-
This album is incredibly solid, and it deserves alot more attention than her debut. Songs like "Break It Off" f/ Sean Paul and "SOS" have you dancing, while ballads like "Final Goodbye" and "A Million Miles Away" have you thinking. The production on this album is done very well, and I wish Rihanna success.
"SOS" - 10/10
"Kisses Don't Lie" - 8/10
"Unfaithful - 10/10
"We Ride" - 10/10
"Dem Haters" - 7/10
"Final Goodbye" - 9/10
"Break It Off" - 8/10
"Crazy Little Thing Called Love - 6/10
"Selfish Girl" - 5/10
"P.S (I'm Still Not Over You) - 9/10
"A Girl Like Me" - 6/10
"A Million Miles Away" - 9/10
"If It's Lovin' That You Want pt. 2" - 5/10
Yeah, uh... here's my review of each song.
1. SOS- Well it's one of the most popular songs today so I'd say it's doing well.
2. Kisses Don't Lie- Really annoying after awhile
3. Unfaithful- Very good vocals, another popular one
4. We Ride- I don't get the point of the song, but it has a single out, so...
5. Dem Haters- An attempt at being gangsta
6. Final Goodbye- Boring
7. Break It Off- Great idea featuring Sean Paul... but it doesn't work for me
8. Crazy Little Thing Called Love- Another love song
9. Selfish Girl- Uh... Has Rihanna ran out of topics to sing about?
10. P.S. (I'm Still Not Over You)- ANOTHER love song
11. A Girl Like Me- For being the album's title, it's not too great
12. A Million Miles Away- Not really a typical Rihanna song
13. If It's Lovin Pt. 2- A sort of remix on the original. i still like the first better. oh yes another LOVE SONG
Well there it is. the only reason i'd buy it is if you haven't already got SOS and Unfaithful off iTunes or Limewire or something like that. Ciao.
I would give her first album a 4 out of 5 but this one is much better if i could i would give it 7 out of 5. Honestly at first I didn't like the song "SOS" at first but now I think it is a great song.
The fast pace songs like "SOS" and "Break It Off" are catchy and you can dance to them. The ballads like "Unfaithful" and "P.S. (I'm Still Not Over You)" are nice to listen to and show just how well Rihanna can sing. I will admit that there is one filler track on the album. That track is "Crazy Little Thing Called Love". Rihanna is great but this track does not do her justice. Even though that is a filler track this album is deffinately worth buying.
