Britney Spears - Blackout

Much better with the Bonus Tracks!!

I ordered this CD at amazon.com over 2 months ago. It never arrived. I got a refund. So I googled it to see where else I could find it. I bought at a ebay.com and received it recently. I gotta be honest with you. The standard version's alright. But it's not for me. I think the Japanese Version is a completed version. The original one runs 43:43. This one runs 60:45. I like all four of the bonus tracks. But my favorite is Get Back. September 30, 2008

One of her best works and one of the best albums of 2007!

This CD is perfect. Britney explores a kind of eletro music which she has never explored before. Also, the name of the album defines it all: BLACKOUT is all about blocking the bad energies and let only the good ones make it through!

The CD kicks off with the amazing and very catchy "Gimme More", the opening single. We can hear a sexy Britney groaning and provocating shivers with this uptempo beat.
Next we have "Piece of Me", that won 3 moonmans in the 2008 VMAs for its video, including "Video of the Year" category! Very eletronic song and a real answer to the inconvenient paparazzis.
"Radar" is the forth and last single (radio single), produced by Bloodshy & Avant, one of the best of the album. Starts with a noise imitating a radar and talks about a guy who Britney can't forget and is gonna get anyway.
The third single, "Break the Ice", is the hottest and most energic, different from the other things she's done, even though as danceable as always.
Not as good as the Demo version but still great, "Heaven On Earth" is one of the only slow songs in "Blackout", about how perfect the loved person is. Very romantic one.
The most eletronic and dirty song, "Get Naked (I Got a Plan)" is a little bit repetitive, but good to dance in a party.
The rythm and beats of "Freakshow" are just incredible! A shame it wasn't a single... Such a waste!
In "Toy Soldier" the beats imitate a march, and it has all an army style. Good song, but ends when it's getting better!
The Demo was horrible but this final version rocks: "Hot as Ice" is amazing, awesome song! Here she claims that she is cold as fire and hot as ice, a living legend! It's true Britney, and we know it better now!
"Ooh Ooh Baby" is the BEST. Everyone I know loves this song and got it stuck in their heads for weeks. VERY catchy, sexy and outrageous.
The one which is not as good as the rest is "Perfect Lover". It is the only Britney song I don't like, by the way.
"Why Should I Be Sad" is the other slower, and I wished so much it would enter the album and it did! Besides, it fit perfectly to close it (in the american version). Fortunately, in this japanese edition, we still have "Outta This World", such a cute love song! It should have made it to the american version.
This could have been a success if well-worked: "Get Back". Should have been the first song, too. Its beats are great, definitely a must in the dance clubs.
"Everybody" was way better in the Demo, but interesting for sure.
This "Paul Oakenfold" is the best "Gimme More" Remix, so good that it comes to close this japanese version of the most awaited album by the QUEEN of pop: Britney Spears. September 22, 2008

I love this CD

I love Britney Spears, and this is her best album. Honestly, you have to give it a chance. I am definitely sad that it wasnt as much of a commercial success as other albums (of hers), but it is worth checking out and certainly a great CD. September 9, 2008

My honest opinion-Great production creating intense bass to make up for Britney's no talent!

I think the rest of the reviews speak for themselves-It's a fun album. I was shocked at how well this album bumps! I love bass in my music and the album has plenty of it. I was entirely turned off of listening to it when it first came out because of what a wreck loose Britney was. I thought it would show in her music but because of her A+ production it didn't. I never have been a fan of Britney Spears but I did like her previous album 'In The Zone' for it's cluby tracks "Toxic" and "In The Zone" again, another great production.

It's worth a listen so turn up your dial and make the bass full blast because you can't help but nod yer head! That is my honest opinion. However, Britney still can't sing so I meant 3 out of 5 stars (not 4-they will not let me change it) on production alone. August 31, 2008

Britney Spears - Blackout

This has some nice songs, including, my favorite, The Billboard Hot 100 hit 'Piece of Me'. According to Nielsen SoundScan, Grammy winner Britney Spears is one of the best selling artist in pop music. --In March 2008, Britney Spears was on the CBS sitcom 'How I Met Your Mother', it was seen by 10.6 million viewers and according to Nielsen Media Research was the most watched episode in the shows three year history-- that puts her in company with Senator Hillary Clinton, who in the 2008 Presidential Primary race received more votes than any of her rivals, and more votes than any other Presidential Primary candidate in history) August 7, 2008
