When she first came out, I just couldn't handle her voice. It irritated me so much and I still can't stand that "Umbrella" song. I don't remember what made me finally give her a shot. Maybe it was that "S&M" song. All I know is that I got her last CD "Loud" and now I'm a fan for good. I let this CD ride all the way through. I love her singing. The beats are hot. The lyrics are definitely on the raunchy, edgy side but then she gets to be sweeter on certain songs. She's the perfect blend of funk ("You Da One," "Cockiness" and "Watch N' Learn"), party ("Where Have You Been"), pop ("We Found Love" and "Roc Me Out"), and R&B ("We All Want Love" and "Drunk on Love") and soul ("Fairwell," I have the feeling that song is going to be on some military film).
The beats to "Cockiness" and "Birthday Cake" get me charged in the health club every single time. I thought LMFAO's "Sexy & I Know It (2-Track)" was going to be my workout song for the year. Rihanna came in and took that spot, too. "Watch N' Learn" is my other favorite track, but again, I could listen to them all.
Her last two CDs make me want to visit her earlier work. For Rihanna fans from the beginning, were the rest of her CDs this good? Please leave comments.

I don't like the idea of her releasing albums year after year, it just makes her at risk of overexposure. Even I enjoyed a couple of songs on here, I still think GGGB and Loud were better but I find myself listening to it more than Rated R. There's nothing absolutely groundbreaking and innovating about TTT. It's merely an album filled with dated, catchy dance pop songs. Nothing more or less. People like to exaggerate and compare TTT to Erotica in which I find it to be a masterpiece. TTT is miles and miles away from Erotica. The constant theme I get from this one is love and sex. Not to mention the song titles are a dead giveaway...we found love, drunk on love, we all want love, and fool in love. It doesn't show much musical growth for Rihanna. Nowadays, that seems to be the norm these days. No one wants an album with substance, they would rather listen to the ones make them drop it like it's hot.
1. you da one (4.5/5)-i like this song alot.
2. where have you been (4/5)-a very typical dance tune but i prefer this over we found basic
3. we found love (3/5)-this song has been seriously overhyped and i for one will never consider it a classic in my eyes. it's extremely basic. i never got the appeal with this song.
4.talk that talk (4.5/5) -it's pretty hot.
5. cockiness ( i love it) (4/5)-it's catchy at times..yet annoying. i can easily see it as a people's favorite. i like the "suck my cockiness and lick my persuasion" part other than that..the song doesn't have much going on for it other than the redundant chorus and the incoherent noise in the background. it's a grower.
6. birthday cake (3/5)-this song feels so unnecessary and insignificant to the rest. adds absolutely nothing to the album. 1) it's too short. 2) it's generic, weak, and repetitive. it should either be kept as an interlude or not be included at all.
7. we all want love (3.5/5)-it's a nice song with a message behind it and it gives me a 60s/hippie vibe, but I felt completely bored at times. it's not good enough to make me wan to listen to it again. i don't feel hyphed enough so it leaves me feeling very dry.
8. drunk on love (4/5)- her singing is so on point. the song talks about the side effects of love.
9. roc me out (4/5)- it does remind me of the rated r era. everytime i listen to this song, i could just picture her performing in a grace jones outfit with dark shades
10. watch n' learn (4.5/5)-i love old school reggae and this song takes me back to that. i enjoy listening to these kind of cutesy songs including say it
11. farewell (4/5)- a very decent ballad with substance. the most relatable song on the album. it's very low key and soft.
12. red lipstick (5/5)-in my opinion the BEST on the album. i've been listening to it constantly. the metallica sample and the hardcore lyrics gives the song an edge. i always feel in tune with this song. it should have been on the standard edition.
13. do ya thang (5/5)-this one sounds really different from the rest. i really like the way she sings in this song. for some reason, it takes me back to the 90s. i also think this should have been on the standard edition.
14. fool in love (4/5)-only song on the deluxe i'm not too crazy about it. it's like stupid in love pt. 2
average rating: 4.1

Rihanna lately has a tendency to put out albums that combine really upbeat songs that you can dance too with really depressing ballads stuck in between that completely kill your mood.
For instance she follows up "Roc You Out" and "Watch n Learn" with "Farewell" that entirely kills the party mood of most of the tracks on the album.
Rihanna of course couldn't have made an album without a generic rapper thrown into the mix. So she featured Jay-Z on the title track which of course includes "ingenious" lines about how women want to **** him in every city he visits and how he can travel anywhere to get anything he wants like Pizza in Pisa and Reefa in Jamaica.
On the LOUD album this pointless mix of sexy songs mixed with melancholic ballads was okay. Now it is just plain annoying.
This album also kind of reminds me of Rated R, the difference though is that the general theme was dark with dark melodies and loud guitars with a small dash of party(Rude Boy!!!). That worked because the album's theme still shined through.
To conclude I'd like to say that Talk that Talk is nothing more than a cheap thrill. It's definitely not worth your money.

Am I the only one pissed about the packaging on the deluxe version?
You would think that when you're spending more on a product you wouldn't get cheap flimsy paper packaging that doesn't protect what's inside. The cd is just tucked in the paper... Read more

Would've been an awesome purchase if the whole Birthday cake song was on there and not just a snippet! :-(

Pretty good... but not her best.
I got this for Christmas and I listened to it. I hardly listen to it now. This CD is basically all about sex and dirty-dancing. To me, it's not her best. Her best,by far is "Loud". Read more

Great Music
This is a good CD. I love it and my daughters love it. We listen to it in the car and home. You may not want your minor children listening to it, because the lyrics are explicit. Read more
