5.0 out of 5 stars Rated R, but better!!, May 27, 2010

Okay, I loved "Good Girl Gone Bad" regular version, and the Reloaded/Remixed version. So, when I first listened to "Rated R", I thought most of the songs were too slow, not enough upbeat tracks. But, with this album "Rated R: Remixed", it changed the songs to be more upbeat, and just plain better. If you're like me and wasn't that thrilled with the original, get this Remixed CD, you'll love it!!!

This review is from: Rated R: Remixed (Clean) (Audio CD)

Lots of fans were apparently disappointed that Rihanna's "Rated R" album wasn't more upbeat. The songs were mostly dark and pensive. No worries as barely 6 months later, 10 of the tracks have been remixed and given the uptempo club treatmentb by Chew Fu.

The ballad "Russian roulette" has been transformed into a club-friendly number with stomping beats, droning synths and those awesome harmonies intact. Similarly remixed is the ballad "Stupid on love" with mournful synths and additional harmonies. Also pleasantly transformed are "Rokstar 101", the Techno/Trance "Wait your turn", "Hard", and "Fire bomb".

Not everything works though, "Rude boy" gets slowed down and stripped of any tune, as is "G4L", but I'm sure there are some that will find something to like in them. While I prefer most of the album versions over these, it's good to have a danceable alternative. A great party soundtrack!

I have to say, Rihanna remixes are some of my favorite ones. She has amazing music and it can be changed, sped up, slowed down, put to a different beat, and still sound unbelievable.

All the songs sound amazing! Faster with more energy!?!? ...This is how her album should have been made in the first place!! (I have both versions but tend to listen to this a lot more ;)

The length of songs are also decent. It's not a bunch of short 3 minute radio edits which I appreciate. Time was put into making these and it is definitely worth it to purchase this album as well. It won't disappoint remix-loving Rihanna fans :)

*I was however, a little sad that "Te Amo" wasn't on here, I think they could have done some cool stuff to that song.

*Stand outs: Russian Roulette, Rude Boy, Hard, and Fire Bomb* (<-- my favvv), make the album so worth it!

Enjoy!
