Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded [CD/DVD]

Great songs, but I'm waiting for the release of the super-deluxe Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded Once Again, This Time For the Last Time, We Swear.

WOW!! She has some nerve to re-release an awful album. If your 1st single is Umbrella, which is a great pop song. You better make sure your BRING on the HEAT for the remaining songs on the album. This is not the case with this album & all her other albums. Rihanna seems to think people go platnium 10 times from only how addictive their 1st single is and then deliver her fans a GARBAGE album with tons of boring FIZZLE. When i heard the song "Take a Bow" and the one with Maroon 5, i thought she was releasing a whole new album. She releases a new album every year and what makes this year any different then the others? None of her CDs have staying power. So i really thought this was an entirely new album. I was shocked to find out it was a re-release. You have no right to re-release a CD unless you've gone platnium 10 times and theres artist that go beyond that and still havent done re-releases. If your gonna do a release make sure there's atleast 5 songs & no extra remixes. She only has 3 new songs on here. One of them isnt even hers. Theres a trend with awful albums getting a re-release these days like Beyonce, Fergie, Justin etc. If you cant deliver a good product the 1st time around then just release a whole new album. Dont re-release a CD & think it will win your fans over. And in the same paper packing no LESS!!! Ridiculous!!!!

Now, Normally I am against re-issues but since I never got around to buying the original, Which I meant to, I decided to wait for the re-issue. Reloaded's 3 new tracks are great. Especially Take a Bow. Comparing the original 12 to them plus the 3 etxra tracks, Distrbia, Take a Bow, and If I Never See Your Face Again, I really like the 3 new songs. That is the main reason why I gave it 4 stars.

I decided to knock off a star for 3 main reasons

1. DVD has no videos
2. The 2 Bonus international Tracks, "Cry" And "Haunted" Still didn't make the album.
3. Adding Chris Brown "Cinderella" and the Lil Mama radio play remixes to Umbrella. Adding the 2 remixes would have been nice

The 3 new songs really add to the album. But owners of the original should just buy the mp3's. the re-issue isn't worth a re-purchase. I do believe the concert footage on the bonus dvd will be on the upcoming Good Girl Gone Bad Live DVD

Top 5 tracks
1. Umbrella
2. Take A Bow
3. Don't Stop the Music
4. Hate That I love you
5. Disturbia

So they are charging $10 after I already bought the original for $14 which contains 3 songs less. I'm not interested in all the video fluff so basically buying this would mean paying $3.33 per extra song - No thanks. A really helpful review would be to tell us where someone can trade the original CD in for this one and get the $4 + tax back???? Market scams like this doesn't make me very sympathetic to the industry cry of piracy.

Rihanna is takin a break this summer and decided to re-release her career triumph A GOOD GIRL GONE BAD. the first time out last summer this album debut at number 2 right behind T-Pain's album. AGGGB this time has 3 new tracks and a DVD.

4. 'Breakin' Dishes': this song is my jam... by far the best track on the album, and my favourite track she has ever done....The Dream did his thang on this track... very hardcore...
