Debbie Gibson never recorded anything as sexy as Britney Spears's white-funk smoker "...Baby One More Time." Unfortunately, neither does the 17-year-old Spears's debut album contain anything else that remotely approaches that instant hit single. A few of the disc's cuts are pleasantly catchy, but too much of its space is given over to icky ballads ("E-Mail My Heart"?) and other unconvincing moves such as the dancehall-lite "Soda Pop." --Rickey Wright

3'5 Stars - Britney's Debut Isn't Bad At All.......2007-05-19
The album starts with the huge world wide smash "Baby One More Time", no need to go into further in detail on that one, but it was one of the best selling singles of that year and became her "Anthem". Another Martin song called "You Drive Me Crazy" reached the yop 10 and was also a catchy uptempo pop song. Famous Swedish songwriter Jörgen Elofsson wrote "Sometimes" a pop ballad with great hook and melody, the song was big in Europe but only peaked at #21 at the US chart. "Soda Pop" is dancehall influenced and feels a bit out of placed here. More Swedish songwriting on the midtempo "Born to Make You Happy" which was also a successful single, but for some reason they prefered releasing the somehwat sappy ballad "From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart" in the Us instead, reaching place #14. Another meliodic pop song with good hook/melody called "I Will Be There" is up next. "I Will Still Love You" features singer Don Philip that sounds like Brian Littrell from Backstreet Boys. It's a decent song nonetheless. Two forgettable songs comes next called "Thinking About You" and "E-Mail My Heart" then the closer, the obligatory cover of Sonny & Cher's "The Beat Goes On" arrives which is the worst song of the album. On the European version there were three more songs included, "Deep in My Heart", "I'll Never Stop Loving You" and "Autumn Goodbye". Since most songs are just pop songs without very deep lyrics, I didn't go into detail what they dealt about since it shouldn't be too hard to figure that out in the first place.
Overall, Britney Spears debut is strong and it got what a good pop album should have, nice sing-a-long pop songs that are meliodic with good hooks. The lyrics may be a little superficial at times but that's beyond the point since it offers what it should. Looking back in time, this sounds like ages ago and ALOT happened to her and the music world since, but let's just judge this album for what it is and for what it got to offer. Having said that, it's more then a decent album, 3'5 stars is the final verdict and a recommended album if you love good and simple pop.
not bad.......2006-11-03
Britney has a family now, which means Britney probably won't have the urge to repeat the innocent teenage atmosphere of this album ever again. But remember this album.

In the six years since her debut CD ...Baby One More Time set Billboard charts a-trembling, Britney Spears has pried open pop music's rusty cage and sprinkled her sex-kittenish fairy dust around like long-overdue disinfectant. She has also arguably done more for the neglected navel than Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé have done for the derrière. But despite her well-earned reputation for boldness (to which releasing a greatest-hits package after just four discs can only add), Britney calls it quits at making claims about her vocal talent. And that works in her favor. Because while My Prerogative is an exciting and even at times superb record, its merits lie almost exclusively in each track's production. From the Abba-esque choruses of her earliest hits ("...Baby One More Time," "Crazy") to the twitching, pulsed-up grooves of 2001's "I'm a Slave 4 U" to the technified bleeps and swizzles of 2003's self-skewering "Outrageous," the pop princess proves she's been largely content to let her in-studio performances take a back seat to the rhythm. With beats as consistently good as the ones she's managed to recruit, though, it's hard to blame her. "Toxic" and "Me Against the Music" mash trance and hip-hop into the mix, and the three previously unreleased joints don't shrink from sliding headfirst into new sound, either. The Bobby Brown cover and title track stomps and bomps to a bared-teeth backdrop, and "Do Somethin'" creates such dancefloor urgency it should come with a siren. "I've Just Begun (Having My Fun)" treads two steps shy of crossing the Britney-bred boundary between sexy and raunchy, but fans will hope it's autobiographical anyway. For detractors the song--and the disc as a whole--should signal a long wait till the party's over. --Tammy La GorceCustomer Reviews:

The fourth in the series of Top 40-tracking compilations strikes a good balance between pop radio played-to-death singles, R&B standouts, and straight-up rock chart stormers. The beginning of the disc is packed with requisite teen pop; however, the Britney Spears offering "(You Drive Me) Crazy" will probably disappoint those who were hoping for the more recent "Oops!... I Did It Again"). This disc, where the Italian group Eiffel 65's dance-pop smash "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" lives in the same space as Blink 182's "All the Small Things," Ben Harper's "Steal My Kisses," and Macy Gray's "I Try," is like channel surfing during drive-time radio hours and scoring with every hit of the "seek" button. --Beth MassaCustomer Reviews:
Now 4.......2007-02-15
Britney Spears - (You Drive Me) Crazy: This is my favorite Britney song of all time. Not only is the beat great but it makes me want to sing along. A+
Marc Anthony - I Need To Know: No I don't need to know and this song is just awful I always skip it when I listen to this cd. F-
Mandy Moore - Candy: Great song and great singer. I always did like Mandy Moore's music. A
Eiffel 65 - Blue: This song was awesome; that is all I can say. I loved the song and the music video. This is one of the best songs on the cd. A+
Sonique - It Feels So Good: It depends on my mood with this song. I like the singer but this song was overplayed. C
Lenny Kravitz - I Belong To You: This wasn't one of Lenny's best songs and this song was 2 years old at the time this was released but it is catchy none-the-less. B
Savage Garden - I Knew I Loved You: I liked this song; I danced to it at my wedding reception. It is very romantic. B+
Joe - I Wanna Know: Like the previous song, this is another romantic song that brings back memories. A-
Aaliyah - Try Again: I miss Aaliyah; this was a woman who could sing and the songs were meaningful. I loved this song and I do refer to it from time to time when I am talking with friends. A+
Jennifer Lopez - Waiting For Tonight: This was a good hit for Jennifer. I have to admit the music video was better. B
Montell Jordan - Get It On Tonite: Please don't get it on tonite, this was the second song I didn't like on this cd. Even the music sounded bad. F
Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals - Steal My Kisses: An average song, have no complaints. C
Smash Mouth - Then The Morning Comes: This was another great hit off of their cd. It is catchy and plain addictive. A+
Train - Meet Virginia: I am not a big fan of Train but I did like this song. I liked it the first time I heard it. A-
Macy Gray - I Try: This is the one of two songs I liked by Macy Gray. It is a shame she went downhill after this cd but I still like this song. A

Vol. 4.......2006-07-18
Superstar Mandy Moore, who at this day and age is better known for her acting than her singing, serves up her debut single 'Candy' here and shows us that pretty face aside this girl can sing too. Out of all the pop queen diva's, next to Christina of course, Mandy has the purist voice, deffinatly surpassing Britney and that 'shoot myself if I ever have to hear her sing another song' Jessica Simpson.
There are some questionmarks here and they come in the form of Eiffel 65 and Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, both of which turn out tracks here that are less than impressive. I never was a far on 'Blue' and until this disc had never heard of 'Steal KIsses' but neither track makes me want to listen. I label these 'Skipable'...
I actually like 'It Feels So Good' mostly becasue it's not average and while it takes a little getitng used to it's still worth the listen. Finally a Lenny Kravitz song I like!!! 'I Belong to You' is a great song and it really showcases Kravitz talent, talent I wasn't privy to until this song. Savage Garden was big with a lot of my girlfriends at the time (both platonic and romantic) and 'I Knew I Loved You' was truly one of the best...plus I have a special place in my heart for that track (some naughty things happened while that track was pumpin').
Some strong tracks by the late Aaliyah (RIP) and a killer track by Montel (love this guy) help round out this album, making it more about the music than any particular genre. And yes J. Lo delivers with 'Waiting for Tonight' which is one of the best dance songs out there, and while some hated it I absolutly loved Trains 'Meet Virginia' for it was our first chance to meet Trian and they are truly one great band. Even Macy is forgivable here for she adds something to this album that no other artist could have...and that's an air of toleration. Notice I didn't list her with the 'sucky' songs for even though I'm not a huge fan of her or 'I Try' I've always respected her talent for what it was even if I just didn't quite get it.
Blink closes us out with yet another great song, though a bit overplayed...but it's Blink and you have to love them. Great collection of the best the year had to offer. Yes some were missed, some great and some not so, but what was shared was still memerable and well worth the storage space.

"NOW 4"; Not 4 Everyone.......2005-04-08
(1) Backstreet Boys "Larger Than Life" A+. Commonly known for their ballads, the boys deliver a perfect dance number here. Everything is pumped up to create an energized, stormin' pop/rock track flowing with solid beats. You can't help getting caught up in the energy and excitment this gererates. One of 1999's best singles.
(2) Britney Spears "(You Drive Me) Crazy" C+. Fun beat and production, yet very shallow in the end. Sticks to memory afterwards, but after examination we realizie that the song is about nothing. Though it isn't terrible; there are many more songs out there which are more worthy of our time.
(3) Marc Anthony "I Need To Know" A. Simple content that is filled with so much energy, zest and excitment to make it work on all levels. Anthony shows himself to be a very versatile vocalist, and a person who can flow perfectly with his beats. The song is wisely on the short side, any longer could have ruined it. This is a true treasure of 1999.
(4) Mandy Moore "Candy" B+. The material doesn't have much in terms of depth, but Mandy brings enough flair and style to make it work. Her voice is effective as it gives a certain conviction and urgency to the lyrics. Not a brilliant "teen pop" song; just a very entertaining one.
(5) Eiffel 65 "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" B-. This song is very dificult to review. As intriuging as I find the lyrics and get mesmerized by the beat; I still wish the song would pull together and complete what it ventures into. Although it isn't a complete success; it is never boring.
(6) Sonique "It Feels So Good" D+. She sounds extremley high pitched, and the voice is so odd and strange, that the song is irreversably crippled by it. If there is any substance to the song; it becomes lost a muddled through out. This is an example of a dance song failing.
(7) Lenny Kravitz "I Belong To You" B+. It is rather refreshing to hear Lenny shed the massive beats, because that gives him the opprotunity to showcase his vocals. He sings this track with utter conviction and heart throughout. That gives the song a certain depth and emotion.
(8) Savage Garden "I Knew I Loved You" C. A well made song that just plays it safe, and never does anything new or exciting. The vocals are decent (beats are almost none-existent), but there is no real depth in them. In the end, the song lacks the impact that could have had from a better group (i.e. 98 Degrees, Backstreet Boys)
(9) Joe "I Wanna Know" B+. In contrast to many songs; this is a retro R&B track which works. The material is as old as time, yet Joe's classy, polished voice make it sound convincing and touching at all times. As they say: a very good singer can make an old song sound new; and that's what he does here.
(10) Aaliyah "Try Again" A-. There's a really nice undercut of hip-hop here, which gives the song alot of it's edge. Aaliyah's voice adds conviction to make the lyrics sound passionate, and add some depth to them. Proof that not all R&B has to be sad; you get completely wrapped up in Timbaland's production.
(11) Jennifer Lopez "Waiting For Tonight" B. Well made, but it doesn't fully display J. Lo's talents. It's catchy, fun and light, yet we know that the song could have been more than that. "On The 6" was her debut LP, and it seems average compared to her later albums, particularly "J. Lo".
(12) Montell Jordan "Get It On Tonite" C. His 1995 single, "This Is How We Do It" is a memorable R&B classic. Shame that the qualities that made that work (the slick vocals and beat) are all-together lacking here. What's left is a standard R&B tune with no life to it. A real step back for Montell Jordan.
(13) Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals "Steal My Kisses" D. Their ungainly mix of R&B, funk and folk is a total failure. The beat has no impact, the lyrics have no substance and there is no impact or meaning at all. Strange that "NOW" would use such an odd mess.
(14) Smash Mouth "Then The Morning Comes" B-. The begining is so brilliant, original and different; I wish the song kept up that pace. It's not in the same league as "All Star", but still remains a solid pop/rock single. You can't help listening to the opening over and over.
(15) Train "Meet Virginia" C-. I really liked "Drops Of Jupiter" and "Calling All Angels"; those were rock tracks filled with emotion and power. I don't see any purpose to this song; the emotion isn't there and it's very uninvolving. I guess Train just had to find their skills.
(16) Macy Gray "I Try" B-. This is a beautifully written song with heartfelt lyrics, made unsuccessful by one factor: Macy's voice. Her voice is very weak and not very appealing, thus she detracts from the impact of her work. This song would be much better if someone else sung it.
(17) Hanson "This Time Around" D. It's not as irrating as "MMMBop" (few songs are), but there is nothing good about it either. All that the song does is cement the fact that Hanson was a talentless group. A very disposable song.
(18) blink-182 "All The Small Things" A-. A very good song that delivers everything we expect from blink-182. In fact, it even has more dimension and relevance than most of their music. It's short, but that helps create a nice, little breeze of a rock single. A good ending to a so-so album.
Bottom Line: **1/2. A real step backwards after the great heights that "NOW 3" was able to reach. I liked some of the songs, but I really could have done without a handful of them. Limp Bizkit's "Break Stuff", 98 Degrees' "I Do (Cherish You)", Q-Tip's "Vivrant Thing", Brian McKnight's "Stay Or Let It Go", Destiny's Child's "Say My Name" and Big Pun's "It's So Hard" all would have been better selection. I can not tell you to rush out and buy this, but put it on your wish list or hope for it as a gift.

Yes, she did. Even if the title track's chorus is a blatant rip-off of the Barbra Streisand/Barry Gibb duet, "Woman in Love," it's still darn catchy--much more than anything from 1999's ...Baby One More Time (save the album's fab title tune, of course). With the rest of the 12 songs here, the teen queen pretty much delivers a remake of her last album. Songs like "What U See (Is What U Get)" and "Stronger" show Swedish songwriter-producer Max Martin in his element, churning out another and yet another slick smash with staccato synth beats and heavily overproduced melodies. But even at his strongest points, he can't bury Britney's voice far enough below the virtual guitars--and it's obvious this girl ain't no Celine. Except for the horrendous ballads, however, that doesn't make a stitch of a difference. The pop songs have all the qualities of memorable tunes--the choruses are clear and catchy, the beats are bouncy enough to make you shake your bonbon, and the singer is about as randy for love as Austin Powers is for a shag. Edit out the low-water mark--when Britney mutilates the Rolling Stones' misogynist anthem, "Satisfaction," by oversexualizing it with inserted "uh"s ("I can't get no, uh, satisfaction")--and you've got a hit-packed album that's as guilty a pleasure as reruns of Beverly Hills 90210. --Heidi ShermanCustomer Reviews:
Britney's Worst.......2007-07-17
Britney at her best..........2007-05-29
If you allow yourself for one second to transcend the stereotype of manufactured music, this album will tantilize your ears. On this album, Britney does what she does best--give you booty shaking tracks, proclamations of looking for love, and gilr power anthems. but, isn't that what pop is all about.
She never claims to be the next Diana Ross. hell, she doesn't even pretend to belt it out like Christina Aguilera. On this album, like the title suggests, she does it again. However, there's no mistake about it. And, again, allowing yourself to take pop with a grain of salt and realize it fgor wehat it is, you can actually enjoy the tracks.
Some of my fave include: "Can't Make You Love Me," "Don't Go Knock My Door," and "Stronger." All songs which perpetuate that pop music at that time was all about asserting what it meant to be a teenaged girl--fun, fearless, and cool.
So, alas, those of you who use her cuyrrent state of affaris to bash her entire career. It wasn't always so marred and shameful. She was, at one time, on topo of her game. And this album proves it!
3'5 Stars - She Did It Again.......2007-05-20
The opener "Oops!... I Did It Again" which is a standard Max Martin song was pretty good when I first heard it but got overplayed so bad that I couldn't stand it later on, either way it's not a bad pop song and it demonstrates that the same concept works all over again when an artist is popular. The song itself was a huge selling hit and reached top 10 in most countries. "Stronger" another successful single is simular, a catchy uptempo with irressistable hook. More of the same with ""Don't Go Knockin' On My Door" which was only a album song. Darkchild who also produced a song on her third album produced the embarrasing remake of Stones "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" and it should be skipped at any cost. "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know" is her best ballad, but was only a hit in Europe, nonetheless it's a grower. More standards on ""What U See Is What U Get" followed by the best song of this album in my oppinion called "Lucky" which ironically reminds me alot about what happened to Britney Spears later on with it's hook "She's so lucky/ she's a star/ But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart, thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life/ Then why do these tears come at night". Next up is a song slow paced song called "One Kiss from You" which isn't that good really. A Max Martin ballad called "Where Are You Now?" is weak and doesn't have either the trademark sound or a good hook. More of the same with "Can't Make You Love Me" which is an uptempo Martin song. Diane Warren wrote the ballad "When Your Eyes Say It" which was no single but decent song in any case. Closer "Dear Diary" a teen-anthem was co-written by Spears but isn't among the better songs. On the European version 3 more songs appeared "Girl in the Mirror", "You Got It All" and "Heart".
Overall, What more can I say that this is quite simular to her her debut album with more Martin compositions that are catchy pop songs. But it isn't a sophmore slump, it's just as good as her debut. No matter what you think of her or her music atlest it's damn catchy and the songs are better then alot of pop music these days with it's meliodic compositions and irressistable hooks. 3'5 stars to this album too. Props to Max Martin.
Ps. I decided to review these old albums cause she's up with a new album this year and I wanted to go back in time and recall how she used to sound.

Britney at her Zenith of fame!.......2007-03-25
When her next album came out featuring the sexually deviant, "Im a slave for you", I knew the Britney career was headed in the wrong direction. People fell in love with this Britney (the alleged virgin), not the bad and dirty Britney.
I knew the Britney career was nothing more then a marketing ploy, but I ate it up anyway. She stood for youth, innocence, and all that was good.
No matter what you think about her fake career, we should all hope that she gets better for her children. Britney was exploited and abused by the industry and media. The Britney we see today is a product of that exploitation. I hope she will be able to sort her life out.

However coy she might be in her public statements, Britney Spears leans more than a bit toward the provocative on In the Zone. Less concerned with aiming at the mainstream radio dial than in the first days of her career, she and her collaborators make this as street and club ready a record as possible. The opening duet with Madonna, "Me Against the Music," is worthy, but the bigger superstar's presence serves almost less as a performance than a key to Britney's intentions: as Madonna did on albums such as Erotica , Ray of Light, and Music, she's out to bend current trends to her needs. R. Kelly, Moby, and Ying Yang Twins all provide stirring moments that draw on everything from Bollywood to Southern hip-hop, while one of the most impressive tracks, "Touch of My Hand," joins the proud tradition of Cyndi Lauper's "She Bop." She still lacks a fully formed artistic vision of her own, but Zone, with its many get-free anthems, puts her much closer. --Rickey WrightAlbum Description
Jive Recording artist Britney Spears is set to release her 4th album, In The Zone on November 18. The first single "Me Against The Music" features Madonna. Britney Spears co-wrote 7 of the 13 songs on the album. Some of the producers/writers on the album include Moby ("Early Mornin'"), Bloodshy & Avant ("Showdown"), Guy Sigsworth ("Everytime") and R.

I am dissapointed and I hope she writes better songs but from the heart,go Britney!Britney rock on please!!
A very good album.......2007-03-20

Where Britney Spears's first two albums hewed to the early-'60s formula of one strong single plus a stack of filler--a fair bit of which ended up on the radio anyway--her third justifies itself as a full-length listen. Led by the single "I'm a Slave 4 U," a Neptunes-helmed piece of electrofunk that promises she'll do anything you want as long as it's dancing, the album continues through superior versions of Spears's poses. Calculated frustration with the adult world? Calculated independence? Sheer celebration? Check, check, and check: "Overprotected," "Let Me Be," and a cover of "I Love Rock & Roll" that brings to mind its bubblegum roots. Even without the joyous disco tribute of "Anticipating" and the not-icky ballad "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" providing symbolic respite from the rest of this machine-tooled music, Britney is one of the most human discs of the current teen-pop boom. If it spins off the deserved string of radio/video smashes, it may even buy this superstar a second 15 minutes. --Rickey WrightCustomer Reviews:
not great.......2007-07-11
Complete garbage.......2007-07-11
Bought as a gift - Great price for a gift idea.......2007-03-28
Not many good songs.....ehhhh.......2006-06-27
She went downhill from here..........2006-06-26
I'M A SLAVE 4 U: It's not a bad opening, but it sure doesn't compare up to what Baby One More Time and Oops I Did It Again did to her 2 previous albums. The song is sexual, but it just really isn't "fascinating". 6/10.
OVERPROTECTED: Not as good as the opening. She feels "overprotected" and wishes to be free and independent. She wants to take more chances. This song is mediocre. 5/10.
LONELY: So far better than the first 2 in my opinion. It shows some reminiscence of her reign in pop. But her harsh cooing needs to stop. 7/10.
I'M NOT A GIRL, NOT YET A WOMAN: Britney doesn't fair well when it comes to slow songs (unless it was From the Bottom of My Broken Heart and Lucky which were fantastic). This is because Britney doesn't "belt" (using massive lung power to produce great power in voice a.k.a. Mariah Carey, Whiteny Houston, Christina Aguilera). "Belters" usually have great slow songs, and since Britney doesn't have it, it...doestn' work at all. This song just is weird. She's not a girl, not yet a woman...is she a guy? 3/10.
BOYS: This song is groovy, pretty upbeat, her most "sexual" song by far. She's talking about this boy she spots during a dance and is raving about his features. This song isn't bad, the song does get boring after lots of hearing though 7/10.
ANTICIPATING: She sounds WAY to childish in this. Her voice is too girly, and doesn't hold the maturity to make it a good song. This song is...not good. 3/10.
I LOVE ROCK N' ROLL: A version by Britney. Should not have adapted one, she ruins it. However, Britney gets some point for at least trying and putting effort into it. 5/10.
CINDERELLA: I think this is the best track on this album. What she's trying to get to us through this song I've been trying to figure out, but no matter, it's a great song! 10/10.
LET ME BE: This song is mediocre. There's nothing particularily bad about it, but nothing particularily good about it. Her voice sounds scarily not like hers in the beginning. She wants to be left alone in this song. We'll leave this song then...5/10.
BOMBASTIC LOVE: This is (I must admit), a very sizzly song. It's pretty hot acutally. Really cool, just a midtempo song, but with alot of bang to it! 10/10.
THAT'S WHERE YOU TAKE ME: This song sounds absolutely trash. It's ridiculous. The lyrics are stupid, the voice sounds rather dumb, she tries to go for a slower song, it doesn't work out, and just...if you have the chance, skip it when you play it. 1/10.
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ME: A funky closing. This album left it having holes. It didn't feel complete like her previous two. Just sort of, left us hanging there in a way. This song maybe should have been put in the middle...cuz this song doesn't do that good of a job completing this album.
TOTAL: 62/120...which is 52%...or 2.5 stars. (I round up).

In the six years since her debut CD ...Baby One More Time set Billboard charts a-trembling, Britney Spears has pried open pop music's rusty cage and sprinkled her sex-kittenish fairy dust around like long-overdue disinfectant. She has also arguably done more for the neglected navel than Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce have done for the derriere. But despite her well-earned reputation for boldness (to which releasing a greatest-hits package after just four discs can only add), Britney calls it quits at making claims about her vocal talent. And that works in her favor. Because while My Prerogative is an exciting and even at times superb record, its merits lie almost exclusively in each track's production. From the Abba-esque choruses of her earliest hits ("...Baby One More Time," "Crazy") to the twitching, pulsed-up grooves of 2001's "I'm a Slave 4 U" to the technified bleeps and swizzles of 2003's self-skewering "Outrageous," the pop princess proves she's been largely content to let her in-studio performances take a back seat to the rhythm. With beats as consistently good as the ones she's managed to recruit, though, it's hard to blame her. "Toxic" and "Me Against the Music" mash trance and hip-hop into the mix, and the three previously unreleased joints don't shrink from sliding headfirst into new sound, either. The Bobby Brown cover and title track stomps and bomps to a bared-teeth backdrop, and "Do Somethin'" creates such dancefloor urgency it should come with a siren. "I've Just Begun (Having My Fun)" treads two steps shy of crossing the Britney-bred boundary between sexy and raunchy, but fans will hope it's autobiographical anyway. For detractors the song--and the disc as a whole--should signal a long wait till the party's over. --Tammy La GorceCustomer Reviews:
Musical junk food: Not always a bad thing.......2007-07-07
This is a great collection, though, in terms of dance music, with Toxic, I'm a Slave 4 U, Oops I Did It Again, and Baby Hit Me One More Time and more (I still don't like that Madonna collaboration she did, though, just offputting to me!). I wanted something with some poppy, dancey elements to it, and wasn't disappointed. I do love the two new tracks, as they're fun and make you want to dance, though Do Something seemed familiar to me, and then I realized it reminded me of No Doubt, off their Rock Steady album.
I'm not crazy about her ballads, as I don't think her voice is that good (and I find it odd that a lot of her tracks feature a lot of digital manipulation -- why is that? Though I think I know the answer), but I just fastforward and am perfectly happy to listen on, enjoy a little fluff and inject a little energy into my day. It's like junk food, you can't live on it, but sometimes a taste hits the spot.
Great Pop Comp.......2007-05-08
Can you find anyone who will admit to liking this?.......2007-05-07
listen to as much of this album as you can stand, you have to
wonder: did anybody really like this or did they all just agree
that they should? Could the voice track have been erased an
another substituted for it? Could it have been you? me?
I notice that the tabloids are charting the downfall of the
poor child who is the nominal artist on this album and I
wonder if anyone ever seriously thought that she could be anything
more than a footnote.
So this music now-in the light of the artiste's unravelling-can
only make us wonder how gullible we all are, and how gullible we'll
be next time.
Lynn Hoffman, author The New Short Course in Wine
Eh.. why not?.......2007-02-03

awesome music.......2007-04-11
Successful metamorphosis.......2005-04-21
This is expanded, the best edition of this album, because besides all 12 songs from its standard version it contains all 3 brilliant bonus tracks from its Japanese edition.
This album is a bridge between Spears' pop past and her r'n'b future because besides up-tempo pop songs written and produced by Max Martin, who is responsible for huge success of her previous albums which made her the biggest pop star on Earth, above all it surprises with completely brand new r'n'b sound. All because Britney's new producers Rodney Jerkins and The Neptunes showed her a new way of searches in music and wrote for her almost half of all songs on this album. It caused very successful metamorphosis of her music. Such big pop artists like Justin Timberlake and Dido also wrote some material. And even Spears co-wrote five songs.
All this album is very catchy and even its bonus tracks and b-sides are among the most marvellous things Spears ever did. Especially astonishing "Before The Goodbye" and "I Run Away", which along with "Cinderella" are definitely some of her best tunes ever. Other great songs are such r'n'b jewels like: "I'm A Slave 4 U", "Lonely", "What It's Like To Be Me" or "Let Me Be" and such pop pearls like: "Bombastic Love", "Overprotected" and beautiful ballad "I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman".
There is also expanded edition of this album, which besides all 12 songs from its standard version contains only 2 from 3 Japanese bonus tracks, but also 3 very good remixes of album's biggest hits and DVD with her 3 videos, interview and Pepsi's commercial.
Every fan of Spears, Madonna or especially Janet Jackson must have this album. Like always, it's full of great songs and so fresh production. This time you can choose either this edition with 15 songs (without DVD and remixes but with all Japanese bonus tracks) or that with DVD (but either with ballad "I Run Away" or with dance masterpiece "Before The Goodbye"). So choose your edition and enjoy!
yes!.......2004-09-30
GREAT! This is the "Britney" CD --TO BUY--.......2004-07-08
The 3 bonus songs are great...truly some of the best of Brit's career. It's a shame these weren't on the original edition of "Britney" ... but if you're thinking about buying this version of the album, DO IT! You won't regret it.
Before The Goodbye, I Run Away, and When I Found You are great tracks and some of Brit's best. This is such a good deal!
Dance!.......2004-06-09

The Best Britney's Album so Far.......2005-06-13
After watching all her TV specials, performances and the Onyx Hotel Tour (which is her best tour ever!), i definetely had to buy this album.
When i got it, i was like wooow, this is her best material so far, Its very fresh, has a lot of different music styles and its sound very mature (despite some lyrics).
Breathe On Me was going to be released as a single (and video), cause its the best song from the album and it would've been such a huge hit but it was Cancelled due to Catwoman movie who wanted Outrageous (which it all was screwed).
This is my personal review on the songs:
Me Against the Music - 5/5 (with the Queen of Pop Madonna)
Boom Boom - 4/5 (very hip.hopish and catchy)
Showdown - 4/5 (sexy, misteriously)
Breathe On Me - 6/5 (i think there's no words to express this awesome dance track that puts u in a sexual dance floor)
Early Mornin' - 3/5 (Moby Collaboration, pretty nice)
Toxic - 5/5 (awesome dance track and amazing strings, cant get that song from ur mind)
Outrageous - 5/5 (a great hip hop track produced by R. kelly)
Touch of My Hand - 4/5 (beautiful far east alike song about self loving)
Shadow - 2/5 (gorgeous ballad, but not my favorite)
The Hook Up - 5/5 (hot and warm track, makes u wanna dance)
Brave New Girl - 3/5 (very goofy Barbie song, but good to have some fun)
Everytime - 5/5 (Amazing stunning ballad about love breaking, 100% recommended - Shame they changed the original concept of the video [britney's suicide])
Me Against the Music Remix - 5/5 (a hot dance remix, Hindu style]
Bonus tracks: If u gonna buy the album, be sure u have at least the 1st bonus track which is amaaaaaaaaazing.
The Answer - 6/5 (awesome Im a Slave alike mid-slow track, very impressive, shame it wasnt included in the standard tracklisting)
Don't Hang Up - 3/5 (not my fav, but its pretty cool).
After listening this album, i almost totally forgot about her previous albums (except Britney: Im a Slave 4 U & Boys). But its a shame how this album ended, the best tracks that was going to be furthcoming hit singles, were cancelled. So the ITZ based tour "Onyx Hotel".
I recommend it 200%.
I Wanna Get In The Zone with Britney.......2005-03-07
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-01-20
This album is her best yet. Her previous album (Britney) was also very good.
Me against the Music: 3/5
(I Got That) Boom Boom: 2/5
Showdown: 4/5 I love the rythm to this
Breathe on ME: 5/5 Brilliant
Early Morning: 2/5
Toxic: 4/5 The strings really add to it
Outrageous: 4/5
Touch of my Hand: 5/5 Beautiful
Hook Up: 4/5
Shadows: 5/5 So sweet
Brave New Girl: 0/5 *dies*
Everytime: 5/5
The Answer: 5/5 The verses, however sound like the ones from Slave 4 U
Any not mentioned, I havent heard.
I'm the biggest fan of Evanescence, so it's quite strange for me to like this album. The songs (most anyway) on here make this album worth buying. Bad luck if you're American!
