Product Description
From Amazon.com
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 Wright

The english opinion,
By bex (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In The Zone (Audio CD)
Heya. im an english fan of britney and this is what i think of her 4th album, in the zone :1.Me against the music - git's ok, if you like big dance tracks then you'll love it but it's not my kinda thing 6/10 2.(I got that) Boom boom - okay, everyone has different taste and they're gonna like different things, but this is a seriously BAD song, it really is terrible. 1/10 3. Showdown - really good, the beat goes strong all the way through it and the effect of her voice in this song is amazing. 8/10 4. Breathe on me - When i listen to the album i usually skip this track, it's relativley good, but the way her soft, whispy voice contrasts with the strong beat of the song isn't good. 6/10 5. Early mornin' - I love this song, it works really well and it has a really cool r'n'b edge to it. 8.5/10 6. Toxic - I am in love with song. It's the work of pure genius. It's so different from everything else that she or anyone else has released. A little bit strange but still good. 9.5/10 7. Outrageous - I like this song and it's really good all the way through the song until it gets to the third verse, it completley changes from the morrocan r'n'b type music to some form of floaty pop that just doesn't work well. 8/10 8. Touch of my hand - it's all araibian at the begining which i never quite understood, but good vocals, big problem with this song is th chorus, it is so annying but it gets stuck in your head and you can't get rid of it for days! 7/10 9. The hook up - i don't like it. At all. It's an ok song but i can't stand this type of music. It's kind of rao mixed with r'n'b. Hate it hate it hat it! 2/10 10. Shadow - I love this type of music, i adore slow slushy songs, but the only problem with this song is that there are little sound effects all the way through it and it doesn't go well with the gorgeous sound of the music. Amazing chorus though. 9.5/10 11.Brave new girl - this isn't britney! it sounds like something of her first album, too poppy, in this song she completley looses her r'n'b edge and it's just pure pop. Not my thing. 4/10 12. Everytime - I LOVE THIS SONG! It is the best song on the album, in fact it's the best song off any of her albums and it's just so great and pretty and amazing. Then again, i am obbsessed with slushy love ballads so maybe it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it;s certainly mine! 11/10 13.Me against the music remix - I despise remixes. they're not good and they're a waste of space, don't waste your time listening to this track. 0/10 14. The answer - I think this track might be a UK bonus track but ill tell you about it anyway. It's bad, like all other bonus tracks. 3/10 15. Don't hang up 0- Bonus TRACK! 3/10 So, there you have it, an english persons view on britney, all in all i'd say this is a good album, maybe a couple of bad tracks, but any album has bad tracks. I'd say this was her second best. Ooops........is still her best album and i thnk it just pips in the zone to the post!

The Best Of Britney,
By A Customer
This review is from: In The Zone (Audio CD)
In the five years since you first heard Britney Spears' bubblegum pop anthem "...Baby, One More Time" alot has changed. Your age, your musical tastes, and Britney Spears. Have you noticed? After trying to show us she's grown up on her last two albums (only failing by a little, and coming very close the third time around) she is ready to go all out. Discussing more adult situations, working with a wider variety of producers, and even some collaborations make Britney Spears' "In The Zone" a fantastic musical experience. On the opening track "Me Against The Music" featuring none other than Spears' own muse, Madonna, they tell the story of a battle with a song, if you can figure out what she's saying. After listening to it over and over again though, the club anthem (yes, you read right, club, not bubblegum pop) grows on you and becomes as infectious and catchy as Britney was in her early days. On the Moby contribution to the album, "Early Mornin'" Britney sings about waking up after a hard night of partying feeling a bit under the weather over a fantastic bubbling beat. P. Diddy's contribution, "The Answer" is another standout track, which unbelievably almost didn't make the album. However, the best of the hip hop collaborations is either with R. Kelly ("Outrageous" on which Spears sings about things such as "my sex drive" and "my world tour" and "my shopping spree" and saying how sexy her underwear feel in her jeans.) or the duet with the Ying Yang twins ("(I've Got That) Boom Boom" on which Spears sets out to prove she's got the beat). The albums true standout moments come from the albums two ballads. The Matrix (Avril Lavigne, Liz Phair) contribute what Rolling Stone calls a "Mid 90's Aerosmith ballad" with "Shadow," a truly amazing revelation for people who say Spears can't sing. She also shows off her power on "Everytime" which delivers what many are saying is a reference to Justin Timberlake ("I may have made it rain, please forgive me, my weakness caused you pain, and this song's my sorry") In one last attempt to prove she's grown up (which works surprisingly well, i might add) Britney takes on the subject of masturbation on what is simply titled "Touch Of My Hand" singing over middle eastern music in an almost Janet Jackson feel she sings "I don't want to explain tonight, all the things I've tried to hide" Clearly this girl (or woman...i don't know) has grown up alot. If only people other than her would realize it.

Britney is in the zone,
By Chad (Newfoundland Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In The Zone (Audio CD)
well first of all, I still think she can do better, but this is probably her best CD yet, here`s what i think of the songs...1. Me against the music feat. Madonna: this is a good dancy club song. 9/10 2.(I got that) boom boom feat. ying yang twins: I usually skip this one, I don`t like it, least fav. on the CD,would be better without the twins. 1/10 3. Showdown: I love the music in this song, but the lyrics are pretty dumb. 8/10 4. Breathe on me: my fav. song on the CD!, I love this song, the beat rocks, Britney should do more songs like this. 10/10 5. Early mornin`: very cool song, the music and beat sound great. 8.5/10 6. Toxic: I like the sound of this one, very different. 8.5/10 7. Outrageous: 2 words, (Very repetitive!) but still pretty good with a dance/RnB sound to it. 8/10 8. Touch of my hand: this one is cool but i doubt it will ever be a single with the message of it, very cool music though. 9/10 9. The hook up: the middle of the song when she sings faster sounds awesome, i like this one too. 8/10 10. Shadow: i really like this one, a very nice ballad with nice lyrics, my 2nd fav. on the CD. 10/10 11. Brave new girl: talk about pop! this song is the popiest one on the disc. the britney rap is pretty cool though. 6.5/10 12. Everytime: the 2nd ballad on the CD, I personally like "Shadow" better but this one is ok. 7.5/10 13. Me against the music (remix) I like this remix, it has a nice vibe to it, a nice change from the orignal. 9/10 here are my favs.
