ALBUM REVIEW: Britney Spears - BLACKOUT

Date: October 24th 2007 // Author: Mike // Filed Under: Album Reviews

BLACKOUT ALBUM IN STORES OCTOBER 30TH!!!

Pop legend Britney Spears returns with her fifth studio LP, Blackout, in stores October 30th - but you can pre-order it via the link (barcode) above or HERE!

I did not want to post any leaked material before, like everyone else, because I was assured they were all incomplete for the simple fact they were not mastered. So I relapsed and was pleasantly surprised after hearing the retail. Britney fans can expect a host of new material added! ;-)

Now, on the the album review! I heard a lot of stellar Dance-pop and Club variations — thanks to Danja (love his work), Bloodshy & Avant, Sean Garrett, and The Clutch! Although some of Sean’s arrangements are a tad bit questionable (he can not write for crap, I am sorry.) I have not many cons to rant on and on about … I will save that for Cassie’s album (KIDDING!). Overall Blackout is FUN and lively! I was nodding and shaking … thank God I do not dance in public! Ha ha, but forreal, the music ultimately moves you in the beginning, then it sort of culminates with Downbeat (that would only be a few songs - rest of the album goes HARD in the club!). In conclusion it all boils down to whether you are a true fan of the Pop superstar — would I recommend it as a solid buy? Of course … I am a Britney Spears fan! :-)

Forgot to say my personal favorite tracks are “Get Naked (I Got A Plan),” “Freakshow,” “Hot As Ice” and “Perfect Lover”!

MY RATING: 10

“Heaven On Earth” • ( FULL )
“Get Naked (I Got A Plan)” • ( FULL )
“Freakshow” • ( FULL )
“Toy Soldier” • ( FULL )

Guys, I have seen her photo on a celebrity and millionaire dating site named searchingmillionaire.com. Seems she is a certified millionaire there.I don’t think it’s good for her kids.

Since WHEN is Britney Spears considered a “legend”?!!!! Pleeeeezzz! Madonna is a legend, Annie Lennox, Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand, CHER, Cyndi Lauper, Pat Benatar, Donna Summer…ect. How can someone with no class and NO talent be called a legend? Maybe a trailer park trash legend, or a panty-less legend, but NOT a musical legend. She can’t sing for dear life! She sounds like a sick cat in heat computerized. Get your facts straight!

Brenda… Ok it s quite clear now what you don’t like Britney . But Relax ! It’s only music !!! And if you don’t consider her as a legend… well… you should not waist your time here… Have good times with things that you love… Music is a feeling and Hate has never been good… Life is short (i know what i am saying believe me) Enjoy it with artists that you like… Take care of you .

I think 4 #1 Albums, 80+ million sales and worldwide “pop”ularity is worthy of “legend” - although I would think that Brit might say, God-y’all - I’m not that old!! lol. BLACKOUT BUY IT TONIGHT AND TOMORROW!!! This is her best record yet!

» COMMENTING DO'S & DON'TS

DO: Speak your mind. All of it! We're not like those other blogs who over-moderate comments and delete people's opinions just because they don't agree with what their readers have to say.
DO: Stay on topic. If the post is about the BET Awards, don't come in here talking about what you're cooking for dinner or what happened at work today.
DON'T: Bash the contributors of this blog. We created this nice place for you, so the least you can do is show us a little respect. It's not cool to bash the commenters either.
DON'T: Just post "First!" as a comment and leave it at that. Yes, it's fun being first, and we understand that. But at least post a comment to go along with that. Comments with just that one word in it will be automatically deleted.
DON'T: Link to your site, or to other sites, in your comment. If you want to promote your site, the best way to do that would be to purchase some ad space, or resort to the cheaper alternative - request to be added to the blogroll. If you have something that might be of interest to the contributors, e-mail it to us. Don't post it here.
DON'T: Be a nuisance, and don't cause unnecessary drama. We can tell the difference between someone just stating their God-honest opinion and someone who has too much free time on their hands.
