RyanLOct 31, 2007Britney knows what she excels at and she delivers it here on Blackout. Most every song is a get out of your seat and dance groove. Those looking for personal, introspective lyrics have come to the wrong place. Maybe on the next album.

PatrickNov 5, 2007I don't know why MetaCritic lists this album as "61". The album has got GREAT reviews, practically across the board. This album is not a disappointment, it's a party from start to finish and only ONE song "Hot As Ice" I would consider filler. Pop album of the year!

J.MMar 24, 2009Overall there are a lot of great tracks on the album, but when listening you get the feeling she just doesn't care about the music anymore.

Sep 5, 2010i think this is her best job, in her worst moment, gimme more (single) is powerful and had the "it's britney B***h" that become in a unforgetting line

Sep 13, 2010Britney's comeback album definitely was great but lacked some of what her previous albums had. On "In The Zone" Britney did a song with Madonna and it was the best. Black out is good Standout tracks: "Gimme More" "Why Should I Be Sad" and "Piece of Me"

Dec 8, 2013This is pretty fantastic for a Britney Spears record. Through her then personal struggles she managed to put out an original and classic dance album in which any of the tracks could be a hit single. Download: Every track except "Hot as Ice", "Why Should I Be Sad" and "Get Back" (and definitely not "Everybody" found on the deluxe edition).

Nov 19, 2021Very strong album from Britney once again. Some say her best album to date, I wouldn't say that, but it's certainly up there! Good.
-
Feb 25, 2022The production in this album is fascinating, and something Britney never did before. Almost every song is a smash. Combines futuristic and nostalgic sounds. Very unique pop record. Very fun listen to. The lyricism though is pretty generic, except of in songs like "Piece Of Me" which we never heard from her before.

ClintMNov 2, 2007buck the naysayers ... the album is choc full of songs to shake your @$$ to and beats to bob your head to. I mean, seriously, if I only bought music from artists whose personal lives I related to, I wouldn't own more than a handful of albums! the songs are well crafted for anyone w/an ear for ELECTRO-POP/DANCE music. and I'm one of those people!

JosephA.Oct 31, 2007It's a very good album and easily the best one she's put out.

kdNov 1, 2007This isn't a bad pop album. It definitely beats the latest by the likes of Rihanna and Gwen Stefani, but doesn't have the continuity and enjoyability of Madonna or Nelly Furtado.

MikeyJan 11, 2008Great Album, with the exception of "Heaven On Earth"...But, Obviously, Not Her Best Work.

Sep 19, 2011Even if it's hardly Britney's effort, Blackout is a surprising comeback packed with cleverly produced, club-ready dance tracks that are heavily influenced by the electropop and synthpop genres ("Freakshow" has a striking dubstep influence) and about as catchy as the flu in December.
-
Mar 22, 2012Not the best album of Britney Spears had the ability to earn top marks in both the critics and admirers of the critique of pseudo-singer (not the fans, for their opinion should not be taken into account). From there we see the level of artist. No more comments.

Oct 21, 2017Um super comeback após uma fase difícil, Blackout é sem dúvida um marco na indústria musical. Foi responsável pela popularização do eletropop, junto com X de Kylie Minogue, que reina até hoje.

Jun 10, 2022Britney Spears changed pop with electronic sounds and would deliver several of pop's greatest hits.

The biggest failure of these songs, and the most confusing thing about this album, are the melodies.
-
Poetry it's not. Still, there is something delightfully escapist about Blackout, a perfectly serviceable dance album abundant in the kind of bouncy electro elements that buttressed her hottest hits.
-
For every hot, of-the-moment track, though, there's something like the nonsensical 'Hot As Ice,' which was co-penned by the thoroughly talentless T-Pain and might have worked two albums ago but just sounds retrograde here.
