Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded [CD/DVD]

love it, love it! each and every songis great! most havealready become hitsin their own right,but even the coupleof songs that haven't i think willbecome hits in time.rihanna is at onceinnocent, and bad,she is soft and sweet and wild andcrazy. you get dancemusic, and depth offeeling. she knowshow to make each song hers! even though the album isone of the years best, they also gaveus an added bonus ofa 1/2 hr. dvd to gowith it, and it isadorable and fun.well worth the money, a great buy!

Rihanna is taking over and i am happy about it...I have the original Good Girl Gone Bad but i had to get the reloaded version also. I am a fan and can listen to her cd straight thru. If you havent picked up this cd you are really missing out!

It's great to get a disc that you already know more than one or two songs when you get it. Rihianna has had two to three songs play on the radio at the same time. If you own this Rihianna disc you really don't need to own another.

I bought "Umbrella" off of itunes. I heard "Please Don't Stop The Music" and "Take A Bow" which I loved. I then sampled all the songs and decided to get the whole album. I am currently loving the whole thing. It's great for workouts or getting ready to go out.

By now I hope everybody has figured out that re-releases usually don't benefit anyone except the greedy people at the record label headquarters. It gets them more money, and may even boost the album to the next RIAA certification. It also allows their artist to remain relevant for a little while longer, I guess. It's no secret. But still... couldn't Def Jam make it a little less obvious with this "Reloaded" edition of Rihanna's third album? The CD and DVD are housed in the same type of foldout digipak that the original came in and the artwork has been left virtually unchanged, which I think is extremely lazy. The album was already very good, and hands-down the best of Rihanna's career. The three new songs slapped on the end of the tracklist really don't add all that much. "Take A Bow" is just alright. It was mildly entertaining and catchy the first time I heard it, but by now it's overplayed--and I don't even listen to the radio much--and the Ne-Yo and Stargate collaborations are getting very tired and formulaic. "If I Never See Your Face Again" was originally just a Maroon 5 song, but apparently Rihanna was invited to join in for this "duet." Rihanna should not try to do rock. It just doesn't work, and her vocals and Adam's just do not go together. It's as simple as that. "Disturbia," which will be the set's seventh single, is by far the best. It follows the new trend of Euro-pop inspired tunes and it's pretty catchy and even a little bit creative. It's co-written by and features background vocals from her supposed boyfriend, Chris Brown. The DVD is lame, simply put, and its only purpose is to get us to buy the Good Girl Gone Bad Live DVD that's going to be coming out later this summer. It's nice to see what Rihanna is like as a person in the documentary bits, but the performances are extremely subpar and not very entertaining. In conclusion, this is weak, even for a re-release. Rather than releasing rip-off discs, Rihanna should just go back in the studio to record a whole new album of fresh material. Good Girl Gone Bad has has seven--yes, seven--singles and counting! Talk about overexposure. And the album has only gone platinum... inexcusable, even in today's harsh industry. Even though the album is great, it's time to put it to rest and move on to a new era. Do not buy this unless you are a die-hard fan or completist.
