Surprising the Masses with A "Mature" Album,
By Max Dunton (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Britney (Audio CD)
After the pure pop ventures that were her previous albums, Britney Spears has hit the right chord with her new album. Her sound is much more mature than her past efforts, and accompanies her more adult lyrics. The lead track "I'm A Slave 4 U" is a surprise - the thumping beats with suggestive lyrics is a change from her past lead-off singles of her previous albums. The first few tracks are quite good - "Overprotected" maintains Britney's old sound with a more polished touch, while "Lonely" has the trade-marked Rodney Jerkins beat which enhance the dancey, R&B feel of the album. Epic ballad "I'm Not A Girl.." boasts of good piano accompaniment, while "Boys" is raunchy fun similar to "I'm A Slave 4 U". "Anticipating" is reminiscent of Jennifer Lopez's "Feels So Good" with its feel good vibes, and "I Love Rock & Roll" is simply a guilty pleasure. The fillers "Cinderella" and "Bombastic Love" lack the unique identities of each of the previous tracks, and are perhaps the lesser of the tracks in the album. "Let Me Be" sticks as being a catchy tune with heavy beats and lyrics not different from "Overprotected". The ballads are not too spectacular - while breezy and light, they fail to create much of an impact. The ending track is perhaps the most disappointing - the highly anticipated collaboration with Justin Timberlake is a boring, forgettable track which leaves a sour aftertaste. But that aside, "Britney" is a good album which is definitely more slick and polished than her older works. Get the album - after all, it did hit Number One in the US!

Cinerella goes byebye,
By Caffienated Yak "caffienatedyak" (your foot) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Britney (Audio CD)
Ah, Britney... the girl everyone hates to love, loves to hate, and passes off as a waste of talent because she's not Whitney freaking Houston when it comes to her voice. (Also the main target for those people who use insipid phrases such as "real music," "fake personality" (...I still have yet to get what the hell this means) and "manufactured." Maybe there's a handbook of "pop-sucks" phrases, I dunno)To me... eh, she's okay. I like her, but I don't find her a blight on this planet (relax, she wants to sing and dance and look pretty - she's harmless, people), but it's not like I find her the best friggin' thing since sliced bread (and really, what could top sliced bread anyway?) But enough on that - this is about Britney, not... Britney. Okay, you know what I mean. Bye-bye, sugary-sweet ballads of old. ...Baby One More Time's gone out the window, and while I found it enjoyable, I'm glad Britney finally ditched the damn sugar-rush tunes of old. And, thank god, we didn't get another Oops! ...I Did It Again. No, folks, here was have possibly the finest album of her career... so far: Britney. The R&B-tinged, synthed-to-hell mixing pot of dancey pop smashes, disco-lite, and... all that other fun stuff. You have the good - I'm A Slave 4 U comes to mind first off, with its slinky, sexy, strippery Neptunes sound, complete with groaning synths and groaning blonde teenager. (Or post-eenager - I forget her age at the album's release) You have the chimey, dark-n-sassy Bombastic Love, a song for which I seem to be the only supporter. Damn. But moving on. Of course, you also have the stumble. Only one this time - say it now: Hooray. And since Britney's cover songs have so far been a chain of screw-ups, I Love Rock And Roll falls into that category face-first with its annoying oversynthed attempt at... I have no idea what the hell it is. Hip-hop 80's rock pop fusion with a Britney on top, I dunno. And to think, I hated the original enough. But, at the other end of the spectrum, we also have the catchy smashes supreme: The Caribbean-styled Let Me Be, the industrial-R&P Cinderella (one of my favorites) complete with mechinical whirrs and buzzes and an instantly-catchy cascade of keyboards pumping throughout, the dance-floor Anticipating (a throwback to disco, complete with sugary-sexy froth settling on top), ther pseudo-country piano ballad, I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman, which 1. has one damn long title and 2. manages to take Britney's thin, croaky voice and pull off a ballad surprisingly well with it, and... well, I have no idea what Overprotected is, but if it has harpsichords in it (and it indeed sounds like it does), then it's all right to me. Overelectronic and oversynthed, maybe, but catchy as anything else she's put out. So, put aside your Britney biases for awhile - forget WHO'S singing the music, forget the genre for a change and give it a shot - you may wind up pleasantly surprised.

Not my kind of music,
By -jul1a- (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Britney (Audio CD)
I bought Britney Spears' third album (Britney) two years ago, and I thought it was good at first, but then I realized that modern-day music is not the music for me. My mother's old music from the '50s and '60s is a lot better!
