 Rihanna reloaded...her best work that will never be matched...ever!! October 25, 2008
S. J. Pinder (Cornwall,UK)
it wasn't until Disturbia and Take A Bow that i became a fan of this smashing R n B star....and i saw this album for a great pice and i got it.
Umbrella was an awesome lead single but it didn't persuade me to buy the album the first time round.
but now this release was out...i had to get it....and my gosh is it an amazing album.
it's the equivalent of Michael Jacksons' THRILLER album...amazing stuff.
Madonna did it with Like A Prayer....now Rihanna the r n b equivalent has done it...and made it entirely personal and extremely enjoyable.
while Britney Spears CIRCUS is gonna knock it off the top spot as the album of 2008(i'm sure it may do so as Womanizer is spectacular)...for now Good Girl Gone Bad is definately the album of the year just matched by Madonnas Hard Candy and beating Cyndi Laupers Bring Ya To The Brink and Britney's Blackout album of last year.
the tracks-
Umbrella-4/5-amazing lead single and record breaking with over 10 weeks in the #1 spot and a further 3 months in the top ten.
Push Up On Me-4/5-really lures you into the album with a fantastic vibe.
Don't Stop The Music-5/5-excellent use of MJ's Startin' Somethin.
Breakin' Dishes-5/5-another rutal and excellent song...and an instant fave of mine.
Shut Up & Drive-3/5
Hate Thet I Love You-4/5-a great duet with Ne-Yo.
Say It-3/5
Sell Me Candy-5/5-fantastic and my fave song on the album...a classic.
Lemme Get That-4/5
Rehab-5/5-emotive and an excellent beat that makes it pure and astonishing.
Question Existing-4/5
Good Girl Gone Bad-4/5
Cry(uk bonus track)-4/5-it beats last years mediocre Unfaithful(shudder)...pure great track...us lucky Brits.
Disturbia-5/5-i defy anyone who doesn't love this track.
Take A Bow-5/5-enchanting song and has a sheer beauty about it that you can't help but love...a pure and well deserved #1.
If I Never See Your Face Aagain-4/5-a great close to the album feat. Maroon 5.
Obviously De gustibus... October 8, 2008
Demi Grammatopoulos (UK)
First off, i'm not commenting on this as a re-release or whatever, as it is the only Rihanna cd i own. I'd never delved into Rihanna (metaphorically or physically) until Umbrella caught my attention - it is an absolute cracker! And hearing her namedropped a lot, i invested when i found Good Girl... on sale. What a dissappointment! I'm sorry, but people who rave about this album are either pre-pubescent or musically inept. There are two outstanding trax, Umbrella and Cry (whose piano part I have spent some time improvising on and am still mesmerised by), with Please Don't Stop The Music and Shut Up And Drive being decent runners up. the rest is jus cheap or, at best, quirky filler. Nice cover design tho... (and off course, those eyes!)
 Only worth it if you hadn't already purchased the original September 13, 2008

The original version of Good Girl Gone Bad is a great RnB album with some catchy pop hooks and great beats. The singles such as Umbrella and Don't Stop The Music are obviously standout tracks, and Rihanna's shown off a very soulful side on tracks such as Rehab and Cry.
The problem is that this re-release (as with most re-releases) is NOT worth owning if you already bought the original, as most of Rihanna's fans will have. Having to purchase an entire album again for the sake of three tracks - however good those three tracks are - is just a waste of money. You'd be much better off downloading the extra tracks from iTunes or somewhere for a couple of pounds instead of forking out for the entire album again. If you count it up, there have now been no less than 7 singles released from this album and it's being stretched to breaking point - which is a shame, because the original album was a great piece of work and doesn't deserve to be beaten to death for a cash in.
Thus my two star rating is based on the lack of value in this re-release rather than the music itself. If you've yet to succumb to the charms of Good Girl Gone Bad then this album IS worth a purchase and three extra tracks will actually be beneficial for you - but in the case of Rihanna's fans this feels like a bit of a rip off.
Marketing and new fans win September 13, 2008
Joy Griffiths (Worcester, UK)
When I saw the vid for Disturbia I got excited that a new Rihanna album was imminent, but was surprised to see it listed for Good Girl Gone Bad.
Found on Amazon the re-release with the 3 additional tracks.
Great marketing idea. Great for fans who didn't get the original album.
VERY disappointing for those of us who paid for the original.
I would be more impressed if these 3 tracks could become the start-up for a brand new album or, as another reviewer suggested, a special disc: my suggestion would be for a DVD release of the vids (which are stunning).
Rihanna is a fabulous talent and there must be much more to come.
 3 tracks are gr8!! September 7, 2008
Superstar20 (uk)
its ok. i luvd her original album. and the 3 bonus tracks are BRILLIANT songs which is why i sold my last and got this one. and with it being reduced already, why not if the only bonus 3 tracks are great anyway?
but why did she re-release instead of releasing a new album with these tracks. that would have been better...
