Okay for middle schoolers and up
Once you're 12, you can understand these messages and Rihanna's intent in this album. She is a great role model for channeling her negative energy through music, but this might mean the music is slightly depressing.

Rihanna, strong female voice in the music world. (no doubt)
This is a great album and Hard is the best song.
Now there is no doubt that Rihanna is a good role model. She is a strong female voice in the music world and has been through so much with Chris Brown and everything and to see her come back this strong should inspire anyone.
Great singer love all her albums but, this one is the best yet.

Perfect if ur Emotional
She is just using her artistic outlet to get rid of the emotions she has tourds Chris Brown. I dont blame her. Teenagers that are very emotional or tweens that are emotional would understand that much in her music.

Flawless album.
I'm 13 and this is my favorite album of all time. It's a perfect combination of hip hop, R&B, dubstep, and rock music. It's a perfect album to listen to when your mad or sad, it's themes relate to my life alot. I definatley think this album is inappropriate for younger pre-teens, I also believe your maturity is also another thing you need to listen to this album and take it seriously. I think it would be appropriate for mature teens as old has 13, However I wouldnt get this if they were immature. Overall age I would say 16 is the most appropriate age for this album.

Rated R is Rihanna's 3rd album, which was released after her violent beating and break up with Chris Brown. This is clearly evident in her lyrics on these songs. There is plenty of violence, strong language, and sex in several songs. The role models, although somewhat helpful because Rihanna portrays herself as a strong, independent woman, are not good for kids who do not understand everything going on here.

One of the best of the year and Rihanna's best!
This CD is amazing! At first I wasn't sure whether I should buy it or not but finally I gave in and I bought it. It is the best Rihanna CD yet! The best songs on the album are Wait Your Turn, Hard, Rockstar 101, Russian Roulette, Rude Boy, and my personal favorite Te Amo. Anyone who is a fan of Rihanna should get this!

Rihanna is one of the best singers ever!!!!!!!!! :)
Rihanna's album rocks and she is one of the most talented women in the music business.
She's a wonderful role model of strengh and courage through hardships and she tells her story though cool and catchy songs that are good for most ages.

Rated R is an awe-inspiring album that puts amateur works to shame. The shameless lyrics, the mature and proper vocals, and the dark messages convey this is an adult album. Sure, you can spoon-feed your kids the generic music all you want, but a real, raw, piece of literature is rated R. For profanity, there are 12 profanes total (5 f words, 4 s words, 1 n word, and 1 b word). G4L, Rockstar 101, and Wait your turn all have swear words (G4L and Rockstar 101 have more than one swear word). For sexual content, Rude Boy is the only track that contains sexual activity, but it is very explicit. "I like the way you touch me there, I like the way you pull my hair. Imma let ya be rider, giddie up, giddie up, Imma let ya take me higha, we can go a little longer,". For violence, in the song Russian Roulette the lyrics convey violence, "Pull the trigger/Take the gun and count to three". Also at the end of Russian Roulette the sound of a gun shot is heard. In G4L the first and last lines are "I lick the gun when I'm done cuz' I know that revenge is sweet". In Fire Bomb at the end you can actually hear a fire bomb, although it is not about killing people/injuring people. It is a life bomb, a metaphor. There is no alcohol or drug references I believe. Consumerism is also not an issue. I recommend this album for 15+ based on subject matter. But an edited copy is also sold (CAUTION: The song Russian Roulette does not censor the gun shot on the edited CD, also the lyrics in Russian Roulette are still audible). The most inappropriate tracks on this CD are: G4L, Rude Boy, and Rockstar 101. All in all, this is an amazing album with clever lyrics, awe-inspiring vocals, and a great message. 4 out of 5. Issues: Mature themes, Profanity, Sexual Content, Negative messages

Epic
Despite the title, this album isn't that bad, it's over exaggerated. Yes, it is explicit, and it has a couple bad songs and lines, but it's not as bad as you think. It's actually clever and awesome. I love dancing to this, I'm gonna buy it on iTunes as soon as I can. But get the clean version. The only song on here I think is really bad is Hard. This is an awesome CD. I would not get it for someone under 11, though. But get the edited CD. It's fun, it's cool. When people say songs or music is "violent", I think "WHO CARES!". It's a song, come on. Violence isn't even a big deal to me in movies, it's exciting, and it's fake.
