Now where do I start? Talk that talk is about as filthy as any pop album could get. U got Lyrics like "suck my cockiness lick my persuation" and "I wanna f-u-c-k you". With this its not hard to Know that the central theme of this album is sex. And within all this you could tell that this album was rushed with all the repetitive lyrics and the lack of a second verse or bridge in most track and the scattered production. This being rihanna 6th album, U would expect that she will have more to offer but she still put out Thesame pop beats with regge and hip hop influences. This isn't really a bad thing as u see in the track Talk that Talk ft Jay-z which is my fav song from the album. You could tell that they were trying to make umbrella 2.0 and they did a good Job in it. Other stand out tracks are where have you been produced by calvin harris, dr luke and bangledash which is a great dance pop song and can be related to her 2008 smash Don't stop the music. We also have roc me out which sounds like rude boy's more naughty cousin. And rihanna shows her rapping skills in cockiness(I love it) and the amazing beat of Birthday cake. I fell these are the only tracks worth mentioning.
Overall I think Talk that Talk is a good album and it would be better if sone tracks were not in the album. Buh we have to applaud rihanna's effort cause not everyone can boast of being sucessful with theri 6th album.

"Drunk on your love"," Watch N Learn" and "Fool In Love" are very good tracks.

"Drunk on your love"," Watch N Learn" and "Fool In Love" are very good tracks.

Yea they are good tracks but there's nothing spectacular about them like The ones I listed.

They are more matured lyrically and will grow on you. Even "Farewell" is ok,

Farewell has great lyrics but I'm not into the beat and its just awful.
