Re: Britney Spears - Blackout [2007]
9/10 -> A-I never thought Britney would manage to produce the best album ever when everything sround her seemed to completely fall apart. She always relied on great producers and supersmash singles.
Looking how uninvolved Britney was it's a miracle
Blackout is what it is.
Gimme More was an instant. Even though the VMA performance was one of the lamest performances anyone ever had, the song managed to hook me instantly. And I wasn't the only one - the song, even though Brit Bit was completely uninterested in any promotion, was a global hit. It even performed magnificently on HOT 100 even though Brit had no luck for years there.
The album just delivered more of the awesome, dance-infused music.
Piece of Me,
Radar,
Break the Ice,
Heaven on Earth were alll as good if some of them not even better than
Gimme More. From that point the album got weaker.
Toy Soldier (And
Ooh Ooh Baby maybe) was the only real standout, but I never skipped a single song. I never listen to last one that is, but I never skip it. I just turn the album off at that point.
