Despite sounding rushed to capitalize on fourth quarter sales, 2010?s Loud proved that Rihanna?s reign indeed would not let up. The album?s first three singles topped the Hot 100. A fourth one merely went Top Ten. Just as Loud was losing its grip, during the fourth quarter of 2011, Rihanna fired again with another number one single, ?We Found Love? -- its success more likely due to the singer?s ecstatic vocal than Calvin Harris' shrill, plinky production. While Talk That Talk is built like another singles-chart-devouring machine, it?s both more rounded and less random than Loud. ?We Found Love? and ?Where Have You Been? -- the latter with a quote from Geoff Mack's ?I?ve Been Everywhere? and echoes of the chorus from Adele?s ?Rolling in the Deep? -- function as place-holding dance tracks, and there are a couple empty anthems and ballads in the drippy ?We All Want Love? and the bombastic ?Farewell.? It?s the darker and dirty-minded material that tends to be most effective -- where Rihanna is more alive and believable, where her collaborators provide the most adventurous productions. In the Bangladesh-produced ?Cockiness (Love It),? one of the most hypnotic and wicked beats of the last decade, Rihanna absolutely relishes the chance to sing-taunt ?Suck my cockiness, swallow my persuasion.? Two of Stargate and Esther Dean's three contributions -- the desperate, xx-sampling ?Drunk on Love? (?Nothing can sober me up?) and the prowling ?Roc Me Out? -- pack more sleek menace than Rated R's ?G4L? and Loud?s ?S&M.? The album?s best track, however, is the wholly sweet and flirtatious ?Watch n? Learn,? featuring a dizzying Hit-Boy beat -- rat-a-tat snares, swirling/swelling synthesizers, irresistible plucked melodies -- that is even more unique in the context of 2011 pop radio than his work on Kanye West and Jay-Z's ?Ni**as in Paris.? Behind Good Girl Gone Bad and Rated R, this is Rihanna's third best album to date. Minus the fluff, it's close to the latter's equal. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
