Rihanna’s very new album seems to be some sort of a stylistic triumph. First of all it’s not over stretched and twelve tracks that go by in just slightly over forty minutes. On her last album she played the role of the cheating lover, pleading that she didn’t want to be a murderer while clearly showing her ability to twist men around her finger. On Good Girl Gone Bad, Rihanna has thankfully dropped an image of being the femme fatale. While the previous album was filled with ballad kind of songs, she doesn't make the same mistake on this one.

Openning single Umbrella starts the album off. Jay-Z rap sounds out of place on the album just as it was on the standalone single. This isn’t R&B anymore; this is synth-pop, with a tangible goth edge. This is a turning point, and a statement. The album follows with the Ne-Yo duet which appears to be the first slower song on the album, and it isn’t even that slow. It might be the weakest song on the album, but again, as far as weak links go, it's not that bad at all, and surprisingly the only so-so track of the album. Well maybe I should also include "Umbrella", which seemed to be popular and catchy, but started to be a little annoying after a few times you listen to it, with the word umbrella being repeated again and again and again. However, this song is probably a good choice for a club or a party, when people don’t really care about the lyrics and just like hearing a good beat in the background.

In Good Girl Gone Bad Rihanna gives her definitive statement: “I like to think that I’m pretty normal. I laugh, I get mad, I hurt, I think I suck sometimes, but when you’re in the spotlight, everything seems pretty good.” This isn’t any old R&B album, this isn’t a throwaway. This is a second-tier singer who is no longer satisfied with what she is putting out there. It would be silly to think that this album isn’t as calculated as any other out there, that this image is the "real" Rihanna. What this album is, is better calculated, better made and with more feeling than any other R&B album in recent past.

New guitar tuner sounds are available. Mp3 format, fast loading, crisp and clear. Online guitar tuner is one of the most popular sections of our site and can be found here ( Guitar Tuner ).

Hot Chords sounds are fixed as well. Some visitors had issues with the chords actually playing, so the script that was running the sounds was redone and should be working properly. The best thing to do is to let the page fully load before playing the sound to avoid any possible issues. If you still hear no sounds, refresh the page and let it load, until you see nothing displayed in the left corner of your status bar. You can check out these chords by clicking here ( Hot Chords ).
