review from usatoday

Quote:

The bar for silly behavior among pop stars has fallen so low — tugged by a desperate music industry and we prurient folk in the media — that people are no longer shocked when an artist who has proven reliable tabloid fodder tries to freshly provoke or titillate us. We just feign surprise, or dismay, so that we can all talk/write/tweet about it.

Perhaps the best thing that can be said for Spears' latest album, in fact, is that it doesn't seem obsessed with provocation. Britney Jean (*** out of four), streaming now on iTunes a week ahead of its Dec. 3 release, aims to present this modestly talented young woman who has somehow managed to sustain our interest for 15 years as a cool but accessible dance-pop diva — willing to dangle the occasional profanity to keep us alert, but ultimately more into the groove than anything else.

The album opens with the recently unveiled Alien, a shimmering reverie that is by far the best track, followed by two now-familiar singles: the frantically ingratiating Work Bitch and the more vulnerable Perfume, on which Spears, weary of a romantic rival, warns her man that she's going to "mark my territory."

Emotional and carnal needs remain in focus, whether Spears is advising a lover how to push her buttons on Tik Tik Boom (featuring T.I.), letting him take control on the exuberant Passenger or trying to say goodbye on the wistful Don't Cry. The production, by such club veterans as David Guetta, will.i.am and William Orbit, is by turns clattering and graceful.

As a musical reintroduction, certainly, Britney Jean offers as much grace as anyone could have expected.

Had mixed feedback from fans and haters, hopefully they're all secret stans and join me in the BJ promo.

haters are a good thing though, it means they're scared for their fave http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/...r/67d90ee8.gif

the telegraph gave her a 3/5 calling 'Work Bitch' a song about prostitution [IMG]http://www.breatheheavy.com/exhale/public/style_emoticons/default/***********[/IMG]

Not insecure fatties hitting out at Slay Bitch for being a prostitute anthem [IMG]http://www.breatheheavy.com/exhale/public/style_emoticons/default/***********[/IMG]

I stan a little for this album.

Love: Till It's Gone, Body Ache, Tik Tik Boom, Perfume
Like: It Should Be Easy, Work Bitch, Passenger
Don't Like: Chillin' With You, Alien, Don't Cry
Hate: NONE.

Never thought I would be saying that I think this is much better than both Prism & Artpop as a whole album. :shocked:

Although, I prefer at least one track on both, to all tracks on this.

Still, Circus >>>>>>>

very good James http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/...r/67d90ee8.gif

Quote:

Even in adulthood, Spears’s voice remains that of a pouty child, though it is often hard to detect any human personality beneath the layers of Auto-Tune. The lyrics are banal to the point of indifference, and with the tracks sequenced (as mainstream pop collections usually are) to put big hitters first, there is a sense of declining returns as events progress.

Whoever wrote this needs to sit down.

In the 90s Britney underwent knee surgery which presumably ached for quite some time. She hasn’t discussed this ache in any detail, so this song is therefore extremely personal. (It also packs in some excellent rave piano.)

Deluxe tracks are out

Now That I Found You sounds a lot like Wake Me Up :suspect:

I haven't even listened yet tbh, im too tired, I will tomorrow

Now That I Found You slays :dazzler:

BMS and HOT are good songs, her voice sounds great on them, they're not the sort of songs you can listen to whenever though

NTIFY is one of my favorites from the album

What's that :suspect:
