Blackout [PA] by Britney Spears

Pros: Lots of hot beats, good dance music
Cons: Her voice, laughable lyrics

After a several year lay-off in which her entire personal life was all over the tabloids, Britney Spears is back, with a new album called Blackout. Being that she was in the tabloids for reasons having to do with lots of partying, maybe ...

Pros: Short (listener does not suffer long)
Cons: Not a memorable tune in the bunch, Overproduced, Derivative of other artists, Short, Repetitive

Unlike most of the U.S., I don't truly care for the whole Blonde Revolution where whatever thin blonde jailbait dangles herself in front of the cameras on MTV becomes the next big celebrity. It has been a long time since Britney Spears was considered ...

Pros: Great beats, decadent vacous songs with all style and very little substance
Cons: Decadent vacous songs with all style and very little substance

Britney Spears has had a rough year. After her horrific opening of the MTV awards a few months ago people were definitely ready perform last rites on Britney Spears career. She literally seemed to be sleepwalking through her performance from messing up ...

Pros: Potential. Amazing production.
Cons: Rather than bringing something to Blackout, she just ruins it.

I'm not exactly what you'd call a Britney Spears fan. Most of the time, I'm annoyed with her for intentionally trying to rape my ear canals-- a prime example is absolute crap she put out there with 2008's Circus. Blackout was released in ...

Pros: It's bad... really bad. But, hey, isn't that sorta the point?
Cons: A few defensive moments get in the way of an otherwise defiantly trashy vibe.

By now, everyone who cares and many folks who don't have already heard (and maybe even purchased) Britney's latest single "Gimme More" (which has been freefalling on the pop charts since its iTunes debut a couple weeks ago), but even among ...

Pros: A couple of the songs are reasonable, brainless dance music.
Cons: Where are the melodies? Lousy singing, and the beats aren't particularly hot either.

The last few years have not been kind to Britney Spears. Since 2003’s “In The Zone” saw her take on a club-ready dance sound and produce a handful of smooth pop grooves, she’s undergone a career and personal flat-line encompassing a ...

Pros: danceability, production
Cons: a few missteps

If I were inspired to make a list of people I wouldn’t want to be in life, Britney Spears would certainly be at the top of the list or at the bare minimum in the top five. At 25 years-old Spears has sold (according to the RIAA) over 31 million albums in ...

Pros: If you like to dance, I guess this is for you. Gimme More.
Cons: If you're coming to hear Spears singing, you IS warned.

Well, she's back whether we care or not. Britney Spears has not released a studio album since 2003. Over the past four years, Britney has gone over several scary transformations. The predictable disaster of a divorce and custody battle with K-Fed, she ...

Pros: dance-oriented, extremely catchy, production, nothing too skippable
Cons: vocals aren't great, not for those who dislike her or mindless pop music

It’s Britney, b!tch! Those three words not only are the first you hear on Kentwood, Louisiana’s own Britney Spears’ first studio album since 2003, but they seem to capture the attitude of the material present as well as the way in which the 26 ...

Pros: Good album and worth listening to.
Cons: Bad publicity might mean fewer people willing to listen.

OK I guess I'll be a brave one and actually write a review here. Yes, sometimes I have been known to listen to Britney, although I usually won't admit that in such an open forum either. Oh well guess sometimes all our little secrets need to come out. ...

Pros: Production is pretty good. You will dance...
Cons: But dancing to this comes at a price: your soul.

In my initial attempts to write about Blackout I had a lot of trouble with the use of possessive language. Stating that the album is Britney Spear’s first in four years implies Britney’s ownership of the music on the disc. The logical next ...

Pros: Pop masterpieces, A-list producers
Cons: Britney's presence or lack thereof

I'm hurt. I'm caught in between of how many stars BLACKOUT should get. Yeah, it's the best Britney album she has ever put out... But where is she on this record? Where's the voice we all know? It's like a robot trying to impersonate Brit was put ...

Pros: Good pop songs, good dance tracks, nice production...
Cons: A few boring filler, Spears isn't the best vocal talent (but we already knew that)...

Say what you will about her, but you have to admit that Britney Spears has a talent for making headlines. Sure, the headlines may be about her lack of underwear, child custody problems, pregnant younger sister, or overall bizarre behavior, but ...

Pros: Britney's trademark sound, consistency, most songs
Cons: Most notably "Why Should I Be Sad" due to its bland sound

Much has been said - true or not - about Britney Spears as of late. The former good girl has become a hot commodity in the past year for a hungry tabloid feeding frenzy culture, from shaving her head to her multiple trips to rehab. But one area the ...

Pros: Maturing
Cons: Copycat

It's BRITNEY, b*tch. What kind of b*tch are we dealing with by 2007? Gimme More is a mid-pace dance ditty. It just demands more, it doesn’t' convince you about the thrill of it all. What more? A morose item. Beats don't vary enough to keep your ...
