On the whole, the album is...disjointed. There's no recurring theme, the lyrics are tired and cliché, cold and impersonal. But where it shines, it shines bright - but my advice would be to wait for the Greatest Hits. As is with every pop album, it's a collection of potential singles and filler - and one can't help but suspect that too many cooks spoil the broth here. As is obvious, Rihanna's duetted and featured on more songs and albums this year than I can shake a stick at - and it does make you wonder if she's really focussed, or just having a good time. And given recent events, I think we can forgive her the latter.

...wow, I'm quoting myself. What a douche.
