Customer Rating:      Summary: Rihanna - good girl gone bad Comment: I downloaded this album, & it didn't work. The file was only 31.0 Kb in size. Perhaps Amazon will tell me what I'm doing wrong, or is there a fault with the web site?
Customer Rating:      Summary: GREAT! Comment: amazing album, i played it for weeks on repeat, and still love to blast it loud now. Amazing. Just amazing.
100/100!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Rihanna reloaded...her best work that will never be matched...ever!! Comment: it wasn't until Disturbia and Take A Bow that i became a fan of this smashing R n B star....and i saw this album for a great pice and i got it.
Umbrella was an awesome lead single but it didn't persuade me to buy the album the first time round.
but now this release was out...i had to get it....and my gosh is it an amazing album.
it's the equivalent of Michael Jacksons' THRILLER album...amazing stuff.
Madonna did it with Like A Prayer....now Rihanna the r n b equivalent has done it...and made it entirely personal and extremely enjoyable.
while Britney Spears CIRCUS is gonna knock it off the top spot as the album of 2008(i'm sure it may do so as Womanizer is spectacular)...for now Good Girl Gone Bad is definately the album of the year just matched by Madonnas Hard Candy and beating Cyndi Laupers Bring Ya To The Brink and Britney's Blackout album of last year.
the tracks-
Umbrella-4/5-amazing lead single and record breaking with over 10 weeks in the #1 spot and a further 3 months in the top ten.
Push Up On Me-4/5-really lures you into the album with a fantastic vibe.
Don't Stop The Music-5/5-excellent use of MJ's Startin' Somethin.
Breakin' Dishes-5/5-another rutal and excellent song...and an instant fave of mine.
Shut Up & Drive-3/5
Hate Thet I Love You-4/5-a great duet with Ne-Yo.
Say It-3/5
Sell Me Candy-5/5-fantastic and my fave song on the album...a classic.
Lemme Get That-4/5
Rehab-5/5-emotive and an excellent beat that makes it pure and astonishing.
Question Existing-4/5
Good Girl Gone Bad-4/5
Cry(uk bonus track)-4/5-it beats last years mediocre Unfaithful(shudder)...pure great track...us lucky Brits.
Disturbia-5/5-i defy anyone who doesn't love this track.
Take A Bow-5/5-enchanting song and has a sheer beauty about it that you can't help but love...a pure and well deserved #1.
If I Never See Your Face Aagain-4/5-a great close to the album feat. Maroon 5.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Obviously De gustibus... Comment: First off, i'm not commenting on this as a re-release or whatever, as it is the only Rihanna cd i own. I'd never delved into Rihanna (metaphorically or physically) until Umbrella caught my attention - it is an absolute cracker! And hearing her namedropped a lot, i invested when i found Good Girl... on sale. What a dissappointment! I'm sorry, but people who rave about this album are either pre-pubescent or musically inept. There are two outstanding trax, Umbrella and Cry (whose piano part I have spent some time improvising on and am still mesmerised by), with Please Don't Stop The Music and Shut Up And Drive being decent runners up. the rest is jus cheap or, at best, quirky filler. Nice cover design tho... (and off course, those eyes!)
