    This is honestly her best album to date. It's not Pop. It's something different, something more personal. I feel like Rih had a message with ANTI and just let her vision be true. And, the fact that she Co-Wrote every song and had even lead-writing credits makes this even better. It's an amazing Album with a great effort.

    é o melhor álbum ate agora, sem duvidas! quebrou regras, destruiu carreiras, e eu acredito que tem a parte 2, mais um monstro, Rihanna sempre impressionando. a Rainnha sem duvidas.

    De longe, o melhor álbum da carreira da Riri. Um álbum super harmônico, com a evolução vocal da cantora super notável à cada faixa. Destaques para "Consideration", uma música agressiva e ao mesmo tempo dançante, que aliás super combinou com a voz da SZA nesse featuring; "Desperado", uma confissão de Rihanna para os seus fãs, com o sample de "Waiting Game" da BANKS, muito bem aproveitado;De longe, o melhor álbum da carreira da Riri.

O álbum só decepcionou no número de faixas, que poderia ter sido bem maior, se contarmos com a espera de quase 3 anos por um álbum. Fora isso, ANTI cumpriu seu papel com maestria, foi anti às expectativas de todos, que estavam esperando um compilado de hits. NOTA 10!!!!… Expand

    ANTI é totalmente diferente dos álbuns diferentes, mostrando uma Rihanna diferente, que mergulha nas músicas e volta suas origens, com dancehall, r&b. A inserção de trap, novidade, faz o CD ser ainda mais atrativo, fazendo com que a Bad Gal RirI atinja um novo patamar em sua carreira musical

    É incrível a evolução vocal e da sonoridade da artista no álbum. Facilmente um dos seus melhores trabalhos até a data, demonstra toda a sua maturidade artística, principalmente pela transição entre vários estilos, até então inexplorados em sua carreira consolidada.

Ponto alto do álbum é a verdade que o mesmo passa, Rihanna enfim aparenta cantar o tipo de música que gosta, que tem sua cara, sua personalidade, também por nadar contracorrente do que se apresenta no pop atualmente. Destaque para músicas como "Love On The Brain" que tem um dos melhores vocais de toda a carreira da cantora, "Kiss it Better", "Consideration", "Higher" e "Needed Me".… Expand

    Totalmente inesperado e diferente de tudo que Rihanna já fez. Conceitual, boas batidas, boas construções harmonicas. Valeu bastante esperar por esse tempo para ouvir um álbum com tamanha qualidade como musicas como Kiss It Better, Love on the Brain e Higher. Rihanna terá que lutar agora, mais do que nunca para se superar cada vez mais.    … Expand

    I think a mockery of rihanna , THEREFORE wait to get boring album said and meaningless, his voice seems drugged , I'm not one to want something commercial but those songs that seem demos, really ?? I think if she had not created much expectation I had not had very bad reviews

    Poder é fazer o que você quer e Rihanna é um exemplo de poder. Ela lançou o seu último álbum ANTI do jeito que ela queria e isso é admirável. Poucos cantores nessa indústria atual fazem o que querem, geralmente são robôs da gravadora ou são obrigados a ficar na mesmice. Rihanna soltou as amarras e brincou com a mistura de estilos em ANTI.

    This is Rihanna's best album yet. She has grown a lot and her music has too. There are so many different genres on ANTI, but together it completely fits. Her vocals are so diverse, for example in Love On The Brain and Desperado. This is a must-buy, legendaric album!

Album lacks of fillers but it has one big flaw.While it's cohesive thematically it is not in production terms and you can clearly hear it switching from track to another track, hence why 9/10.

Still, it's the best effort to date that came out from Rihanna and I'd recommend it to everyone. She has proved herself that she's no longer a pop-puppet under control and not without a reason she's called a force to be reckoned with.

    Highlights of the album (subjective) : Love On The Brain, Close To You (aka Stay 2.0), Kiss It Better, Consideration, Desperado.    … Expand

    Escuche ANTi sin ninguna expectativa y tiene muy buen potencial, canciones como "Love in the Brain", "Higher", "Close To You", incluso "Needed Me" son oro puro; pero siento que el resto del álbum pudo ser mejor... En conclusión me gusto, pero no es algo iconico.

    One of the most daring and dynamic pop albums of all time! From Rih's heart-wrenching ballad "Love on the Brain" to her dark rhythmic "Desperado" to "Kiss it Better," a power rock anthem, we get a sense of who Rih truly is: a multitalented artist who isn't afraid to push boundaries and show her true colours.

    "ANTi" is a disappointed. Three years in the making and this is the result? You'd think she'd deliver a revolutionary, well-produced, brilliant piece of art. But no, "ANTi" is a compilation of garbage in audio form. And who the hell let her record "Higher"? It sounds like an MP3 audio of a dying cat, felt very sorry for my ears. And "Work" is the definition of generic mediocrity. Most of"ANTi" is a disappointed. Three years in the making and this is the result?

Pretentious to the max. From her horrible vocals to the atrocious productions, I can say I enjoyed the silence in between the songs. Rihanna used to bring the goods to the table but now she seems to have left them somewhere else. It is hard to believe that someone is nice enough to spend their hard-earned money to buy this piece of **** I wish I could give this album a score below 0 because it is truly one of the worst albums I have ever listened to. But thankfully, I listened to "Revival" by Selena Gomez and recovered from this horrible experience.… Expand

    This album is amazing, is different, that's for sure, if you're expectiong beachy pop/dance songs id say you should skip this album. Love on The Brain, Higher, Desperado, Needed Me and James Joint serve as the highlighs. it has a wonderful vocal production. Rihanna killed it.

    I'm not a Rihanna fan, but this album is so amazing it hurts, one of the best albums of the year so far, along with Sia's "This Is Acting". It's incredible.

    It's confusing, with flaky endings and mood swings, and an utterly compelling mix of not caring at all and desperately caring. [Apr 2016, p.87]
