Rihanna's album gets better the further in you get and by the end has turned into sonic awesomeness. I love how the distinctivenes of her voice makes the extreme variety of styles hang together and form something cohesive in a way which 'A Girl Like Me' really doesn't, despite the fact it's more sonically similar overall. 'Rehab' is absolutely phenomenol, 'Say It' is sweet and more of her previous style, as is 'Sell Me Candy' and 'Good Girl Gone Bad' is truly fantastic. 'Push Up On Me' and 'Don't Stop The Music' make more sense in full album context; they somehow don't sound as good as they actually are as openers and I'm not sure why.
Other things to buy I would recommend include, much to my mental discomfort, the new Good Charlotte album. It's one of the most perfect pop albums I've heard over the last few years and so balls-out absurd it's amazing. Also it is all about Hilary Duff which somehow makes the whole thing even better than it is already. I even like the track with the two utter idiots from Avenged Sevenfold (WORST BAND EVER) god help me. It slightly reminds me of Son Of Dork's album, if that had had insane electronic bits and more of a disco sensibility. Actually thinking about it I think it's just his voice that's reminiscent of that. Anyway, it is very very good, for all the fact it quite patently shouldn't be.
Calvin Harris' album is good but not rush-out-and-buy-this-now good. However, if it was in the bargain bin for five quid I definitely would.
I haven't heard the Amerie and have very little urge to hear the Dizzee unless it is exceptionally noisy.
