Is she referencing Live Your Life in Cheers?

This didn't leak yet did it? Cheers is awful. I hope they aren't considering that as a single.
This album in general just seems incredibly weak to me. I heard Cheers, Raining Men, and a bit of California King and none of these songs are solid to me. So far there are only five songs that we haven't heard yet (S&M, Fading, Man Down, Complicated, and Skin). S&M is supposedly the next single so bets are it's strong. All in all though I feel the material hasn't been up to snuff. There already have been far too many growers and too many second initial chances, (Only Girl, and What's My Name) and I don't think Love The Way You Lie Pt. II will be an instant hit either and I think it would be lazy to release it as one. Quality aside it's a remix, and no one is going to see past that.

What do you think of it? My first listen= But I will say this, she said she wanted a more island inspired album and I guess she did get that. And it's good to hear her doing an album that was island inspired that wasnt just reggae and dancehall But they had writing camps for this?!

One of her worst albums.
Rated R will always be her best.

I do like Love The Way You Lie and California King Bad though. It's very HAC rock. And Cheers doesn't' sound so bad compared to everything else

The only tracks that are worth listening to: Only Girl, What's My Name, Love The Way You Lie Pt. II
Fading is good, but it smacks of Irreplaceable vibes, and sounds much more like a rhythmic/urban smash than a pop one.
Skin, and Complicated aren't horrible but boy do they need work. There is potential but seriously they are under minded works. Everything else should have been scrapped. They should have definitely kept Who's That Chick and put it on the album, it was probably the only other hit off the album once they work through the two singles, and throw out the remix of LTWYL.

I feel like LOUD was too rushed.

I don't get why they released S&M. As to them releasing Loud and it being rushed, well that's exactly what happened with her first two records, if this bombs they can just release another album six months later. Something has to stick eventually. Who cares if she has 15 album releases before she turns 30.

S&M sounds like the illegitimate love child of Disturbia and Sexy Bitch Fading had a cool classical intro, but the chords didn't quite resolve quite the right way. Then it regressed into a generic R&B song And yeah, Who's That Chick sounded kind of blah, but compared to the rest of these tracks, it would be a highlight

Agreed, the album is abysmal.
I like 'Raining Men' because its cheesy and camp and uh durr NICKI MINAJ.
But yeah, outside of Whats My Name and Only Girl, the album is snoozer.

I feel like for S&M and Fading they took aspects of Disturbia and Take A Bow, and twisted them a bit. They both sound like her previous stuff, and don't sound fresh at all. Not great by any stretch of the imagination. Rated R is probably her best album.

The song I want to know most about is LTWYL Part II Same lol I want to make sure Eminem wrote his own verse but I think even if he didn't write a verse, we wouldn't know for sure since he wrote the chorus and he would be credited for that

Assuming she's not on the page Joel missed, that's pretty bad lol Thanks for posting that ! I love reading album booklets and dissecting them But is there a missing page. The song I want to know most about is LTWYL Part II Same lol I want to make sure Eminem wrote his own verse but I think even if he didn't write a verse, we wouldn't know for sure since he wrote the chorus and he would be credited for that He wrote the melody of the chorus?
