She may be bald, and her parenting skills may be more backwoods than the celebrity-obsessed would prefer, but when it comes to her profession (singing pop songs, for those who have forgotten) you've got to give Brit a break. Not because her previous records have been flawless--for all its first-listen appeal, Oops! I Did It Again will drive even the most tolerant pop fiend bats after two repeats, and it's hard for long-term fans to overlook the unfortunate "I Love Rock N Roll" off 2001's Britney--but because, despite all the personal tumult, she's feeling the music like never before. Blackout is not a brilliant record for its vocals, though they're good in the cooing, sex-kittenish way we've come to expect (check first single "Gimme More," a monstrously catchy dance-pop number, for the requisite moans and sighs). But it is brilliant. And though the Neptunes, Bloodshy & Avant, and Nate "Danja" Hills do their trippy, thumpy, raved-up thing successfully enough to make you think so, the brilliance isn't in the production only. The crackling "Radar" gets under your skin not just because of its club-ready beat, a familiar element on this disc, but also from Britney's deliberate vocal haze; here she is interpreting how she ought to sound against the heat of this track, and pretty skillfully--she goes for pure vibe, and she gets it. And while the words to the seemingly autobiographical "Piece of Me" are enough to pull you in themselves--here we get to hear Britney refer to herself as "Miss Bad Media Karma"--they get a little something extra from our girl's newly awakened sense of what makes a song flow; she has the good sense to squeal. Is she a credible role model? Certainly not. Is her music worth hitting, as the old song goes, one more time? Absolutely. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews

Pop!
Spears has enlisted a lot of great talent within this project. Each track is formed on a great foundation: Her pop vocals. These songs are a pop fan's delight. Each track is danceable and club worthy. The programming and instrumentations are right on pop. There should be no apologies for this LP. Great job to everyone involved. Great music for everyone on the planet. A+

great album
Bought this album for my, younger than I, wife and I was shocked at how great it was. Clearly this album was backed by fantastic producers, enginers, arrangers, musicans, and top song writters, and was made to deliver a top pop star's triumphant return to the topermost of the popermost. The album delivers. (To bad Britney in her real life is acting a mess.) Britnety however delivers on this album like it was yesterday. How many takes it took we do not know, but she is right on. The catchy songs will be enjoyed by listening and or dancing to, and will stay in your head for weeks. Never thought Britney Spears and a great album would be in the same sentence, but it surely is true here. Enjoy!

Gimme more of this music please
I purchased this cd around November 2007 and have been playing it ever since. I like listening to it alot on my way to work and coming home from work. I admit that I have the standard version of the cd minus the import but after reading the long island review I will definitely consider the import as well. There were many strong songs on the standard cd. The two favorite songs that I have been playing the most on the cd would be track number 4 "break the ice" and track number 10 "ooh ooh baby" The reason being is because these tracks are sensual and fun in my opinion. "Heaven on Earth" is also very good and makes you feel that you are at a dance club. "Gimme More" stands out in a positive way because it shows her confident as well daring side. "Piece of Me" pokes fun at the paparazzi in a lighthearted way and helps you see her side of the story. "On my radar" starts out with a very catchy eurodance type of tune that creatively expressed her desire to obtain the man she has her eyes on. "Get naked" is another song where you can picture yourself at a danceclub at night being paid attention to by a handsome man with a sexy voice. "Freakshow", "toy soldier","hot as ice", and "perfect lover" are songs that grew on me after a couple of plays. "Why should I be sad" is a good song for her to have closed out the standard cd (yes I feel this way even though I do not play "why should I be sad" as often as the other songs). The reason why I feel that she made a good choice with using that song to close out is because once again she creatively told her side of the story on why things between her and Kevin had to come to an end. With how challenging her personal life was at the time this cd came out I would like to add that she really did a great job at putting forth her best effort creatively. I have to agree with some of the reviewers that pointed out that its important to separate how you feel about how she lives her personal life from the music she puts out. Yes, I can understand why some critics would judge a musician in relation to their personal life (its obvious that a challenging personal life will affect how the music turns out). However it must be noted that aside from her personal life (which in my opinion is important to be nonjudgemental about) this cd was very well put together and I feel that she made some good choices on the individuals she chose to collaborate with. These are some of the reasons why I would recommend this cd.
