Amazing Album!, 27 Jun 2008
Ok first off yes this can be seen as a con re-releasing an album but for me i had not bought the original album of Good Girl Gone Bad and im sure others have not either so im going to do a proper review on the album and not saying its a con etc
Ok so whats different about the album you ask? 3 new songs:
Take a bow
Disturbia
If i never see your face again
All amazing songs in my opinion! My fave being Disturbia out of them, great dance song and very catchy i was hooked to it from first listen!
You get 16 songs on this album:
Umbrella:
Lets face it everyone has heard this song with it being number 1 for 10 weeks! Its still a great song but not the best on the album! 8/10
Push Up On Me:
I did not like this song at first, but it grew on me, it has a great 'boom boom' beat and a catchy chorus 8/10
Don't Stop The Music:
One of my fave songs on the album! Opens greatly with an awesome beat, and all together is catchy! Great dance song 9/10
Breakin Dishes:
This song has attitude!
Another song with a catchy chorus, has great synths (used mainly in chorus) and beats in it
8.5/10
Shut up and drive:
First off this should not have been released as the second single in my opinion
It is more of a rock song this, which i dont mind and has a catchy chorus but is not worthy for to be a single in my opinion
8/10
Hate That I Love You:
A duet with Neyo, and what a great one it is!
Very catchy and was worthy of being a single
9/10
Say it:
Worse song on the album!
its awful in my opinion i skip it always!
4/10
Sell Me Candy:
I do not personally like the verses of this song but the Chorus is very catchy and saves the song!
This is the shortest song on the album with it only being 2:46 long
7.5/10
Lemme Get That:
This song is another song i do not like, ill admit i like the beat and its slightly catchy but it does not compare to the rest of the album
6/10
Rehab:
One of the standout songs on the album, very R&B!
Awesome chorus! a proper R&B song!
9/10
Question Existing:
This song is kind of dull, its catchy but is boring at the same time, nothing changes barely through the whole song and the effect on Rihannas voice ruins the song, although the beat is good, sounds like it should be the last song on the album to be honest
6/10
Good Girl Gone Bad:
Another R&B song which is just nearly as good as Rehab but not quite
8.5/10
Cry (UK Bonus Track):
Another standout song!
Fantastic vocals!
10/10
Disturbia:
Amazing song! My fave!
Awesome Beat and very catchy!
10/10
Take a bow:
Another great song, did not like this at all at first but it grew on me
great song
8.5/10
If i never see your face again:
Duet with Maroon 5 singer
Another great song! Catchy
8/10
As you can see i can not really vary much on what to say about the songs using the word 'Catchy' alot but they are! and i see an album that has so many catchy songs, to be a great album!
I'll admit her voice does sound like it has lots of effects on it on most songs, but thats not a problem to me, its still a great album even though were not really hearing her real voice.
Of course if you have the original album do not buy this even though the extra songs are great and are some of the standout songs on the album, but its just not worthy and just download them instead or something.
So here is a proper review on the Reloaded album for people that did not buy the original album like me.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Only worth it if you hadn't already purchased the original, 13 Sep 2008
The original version of Good Girl Gone Bad is a great RnB album with some catchy pop hooks and great beats. The singles such as Umbrella and Don't Stop The Music are obviously standout tracks, and Rihanna's shown off a very soulful side on tracks such as Rehab and Cry.
The problem is that this re-release (as with most re-releases) is NOT worth owning if you already bought the original, as most of Rihanna's fans will have. Having to purchase an entire album again for the sake of three tracks - however good those three tracks are - is just a waste of money. You'd be much better off downloading the extra tracks from iTunes or somewhere for a couple of pounds instead of forking out for the entire album again. If you count it up, there have now been no less than 7 singles released from this album and it's being stretched to breaking point - which is a shame, because the original album was a great piece of work and doesn't deserve to be beaten to death for a cash in.
Thus my two star rating is based on the lack of value in this re-release rather than the music itself. If you've yet to succumb to the charms of Good Girl Gone Bad then this album IS worth a purchase and three extra tracks will actually be beneficial for you - but in the case of Rihanna's fans this feels like a bit of a rip off.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Disturbia and Rehab are both brilliant !, 8 Jan 2009
I hadn't heard of Rihanna (!) until I came across 'Disturbia' recently. Having bought this album as a result I think that the two very best songs here are Disturbia and Rehab, which are both brilliant, and which I'd currently put well up my all time great list (I'm 45 too !), but much of the rest is still pretty good as background music, and some of the others are growing on me. Thoroughly recommended.
