    Britney 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.

    metacritic needs to post more reviews - like the AP review that called it a "triumph." it is a better "all the way through" listen than futuresex/lovesounds. this has no lame ballads (except maybe the last song, but even that isn't so bad) and amazing production on basically every track. she can't sing, but she never could, so who cares about that. the producers make her voice metacritic needs to post more reviews - like the AP review that called it a "triumph." it is a better "all the way through" listen than futuresex/lovesounds. this has no lame ballads (except maybe the last song, but even that isn't so bad) and amazing production on basically every track. she can't sing, but she never could, so who cares about that. the producers make her voice do cool things, and the beats are hot.

    I wrote Britney off a few months ago. I wasn't going to buy her album until someone suggested it to me. I love it, shamelessly. It is that good. The beats + her voice, the oversexed lyrics, the word play from all her paparazzi coverage...LOVE it. I can't wait to listen to it again.

If you want to squabble anymore about this and as a consequence of this give poor Britney a 0, please do this on gossipmsn. There's lots of fools like you there. As Rob B excellently states: "Her Music????" What are you people talikng(?) about. She doesn't write a thing. She's a product" I am sorry. Let me be like you. Britney's vocals are not as good as they used to be and therefore I give an 8/10 based on good, light-headed and entertaining music that will indeed rush clubs as alot of other average club music has done. Nicely produced. Expand

    Despite her best efforts - Britney has not destroyed her career. This album is surprisingly good. Scratch that great. for what it is - you can't get much better.

    Depois de um período conturbado em sua carreira, Britney volta 4 anos depois do seu último lançamento, ”In The Zone”. Entre este período, Britney Spears simplesmente casou, separou, teve filhos e passou por um momento delicado em sua carreira: teve toda sua vida exposta e era constante flagrada se envolvendo em polêmicas e muita confusão. Spears nos traz muito mais que nós poderíamosDepois de um período conturbado em sua carreira, Britney volta 4 anos depois do seu último lançamento, ”In The Zone”. Entre este período, Britney Spears simplesmente casou, separou, teve filhos e passou por um momento delicado em sua carreira: teve toda sua vida exposta e era constante flagrada se envolvendo em polêmicas e muita confusão. Spears nos traz muito mais que nós poderíamos esperar para o seu retorno. Essencialmente com produção de Danja e Bloodshy & Avant, ”Blackout” traz o seu material mais maduro até então, um álbum coeso do começo ao fim; diferente do que vinha a acontecer em sua vida, ”Blackout” vem com mais acertos que erros.
    No fim dos anos 90, Britney Spears surgiu como um estouro teen, ao lado de seus amigos do ”Clube do Mickey”, Justin Timberlake de N*Sync e Christina Aguilera. A faixa ”Baby One MOre Time”, que traçou o topo dos Estados Unidos por 2 semanas e o seu disco homônimo vendeu mais 25 milhões de cópias ao redor do planeta, mas agora em 2007, Britney traz como carro chefe, ”Gimme More”, com o forte bordão ”It’s Britney **** uma faixa dance urbana que a distancia ainda mais a cantora do universo teen que a consagrou e aproxima Britney das divas pop Kylie Minogue e Madonna. Em ”Piece of Me”, Britney diz que é o sonho americano desde seus 17 anos e faz uma crítica aos paparazzis que a todo momento estão a clicando atrás de uma nova manchete nos tablóides e as pessoas que por este movito, julgam-lhe cosntantemente: ”Não vejo problema em trabalhar e ser mãe (…) vocês querem um pedaço de mim?”. Em ”Radar”, Britney tem o homem dos seus sonhos em sua mira, em ”Break The Ice”, melhor faixa do disco e em ”Get (Naked I Got A Plan)”, Spears também tem o desejo de conquistar e entrar em sintonia com seu parceiro (”Eu nunca me senti assim, você deixou o meu coração bater feito um sintetizador” / ”Nós somos adultos agora, eu faço você descongelar… Vamos pegar fogo.” – canta Britney em ”Break The Ice”). ”Heaven on Earth” nos traz direto ao ótimo ”Confessions on A Dance Floor” de Madonna, com uma inspiração na era disco de Donna Summer e Giorgio Moroder.A única faixa assinada por Britney Spears, ”Freakshow”, Britney simplesmente diz que quer sacodir o bumbum na pista de dança e deixar as garotas morrendo de inveja, a faixa traz uma novidade conhecida hoje como ”dubstep”, recurso eletrônico que seria ainda mais ampliado em popularidade em sua faixa número 1 de 2011, ”Hold It Against Me” e pelo multi-Grammy winner Skrillex. O álbum passa pelas não tão ótimas ”Toy Soldier”, ”Hot As Ice”, ”Ooh Ooh Baby” e melhora em ”Perfect Lover” e ”Why Should I Be Sad”, a última assinada por Pharrell Williams e The Neptunes, que nos remete a ótima ”Boys” de seu disco anterior.
    Não é a toa que ”Blackout” é um dos discos mais influentes dos últimos anos, em um mundo ainda pre-Lady Gaga, Britney Spears representa o pop dos anos 2000 com muita ousadia e se reafirma como uma mulher agora mãe, talvez mais madura e eternamente como a princesa do pop.

    Best album Britney has ever recorded. Every single track is a standout except for Everybody, which is only a bonus track. Most songs are some of the best dance tracks you will ever find in a pop album. This is the album that Lady Gaga and others looked up to for their releases. Favourite songs include Gimme More, Break the Ice, Heaven on Earth.

    Um 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.

    Simply put, her most bold, edgy and dark work yet, he employs a wide spectrum of glorious synths and goes from an electronic, processed vocoder effect on some songs, to showcasing her amazing vocals effortlessly on others, like Gimme More.

    Com certeza o melhor álbum da carreira de Britney Spears. Mesmo em uma época conturbada de sua vida, Britney conseguiu entregar um material de altíssima qualidade. Blackout foi inspiração de álbuns pop de outros artistas.

    her most outstanding album to date. filled to the brim with r&b infused dance-pop (Hot as Ice, Gimme More, Toy Soldier, Break the Ice), buoyant synthpop (Radar, Outta This World), and the most fabulous song of her career thus far, the icy and sensual love song Heaven on Earth, which is a splendid hybrid of Donna Summer and Eurythmics-esque aural textures. A+ Brit

    Excellent album, Bible de la pop, cet album expérimental est un des meilleurs albums de Britney. Un mélange de sons et d'ambiance qui vous feront danser ou rêver.

    Point négatif: le choix du 1er single ainsi que les deux pistes qui clôturent l'album.

    By far, one of the best albums of the early 2000's. This is pure pop excellence. Britney truly delivered vocal talent and pure emotion with this album. Gimme More is the perfect start for this album, serving pure sex and attitude. Radar and Break The Ice are other top songs from this fantastic album

    Como em 1999, Novamente Britney revoluciona o Pop, desta vez ela trás o Electropop em uma forma sexual a la poli dance aonde todas as musicas te fazem querer dançar até o sol raiar, todas as musicas estão bem pessoais e bem profissional.

    It's Britney **** This is a great album that truly makes history in pop industry. It really express herself in that moment and adds an originality that few artists are capable of. Even though she abuses of the autotune, she still rules this industry.

    Rarely does a pop album deserve a 10/10 rating. This is that album.

    A nonstop party from the very opening line ("It's Britney, **** and continuing seamlessly until the album's conclusion consisting of a post-KFed kiss-off ("Why Should I Be Sad?"), Blackout is truly the consummate dance-pop record.

    Over a decade since its release, and yet the songs not only fail to sound outdated, but seem as though they could be released today and receive an overwhelmingly positive response. The music is timeless, and Britney at her best.

    Although this is probably the only CD wherein I fail to routinely skip any tracks; there are certainly stand-outs nevertheless:

    "Gimme More"
    "Break The Ice"
    "Heaven On Earth"
    "Ooh Ooh Baby," and
    bonus track "Get Back" shine even more brightly than the others.

    While there may not be a standout pop anthem a la "Baby One More Time," "Oops!...I Did It Again" or "Toxic," this album is by far Britney's most cohesive and mature material. It's not an album you purchase for the singles, but rather the experience of the record in its entirety.

    10/10.

    Britney's early career appeared unfocused. However, on Blackout, Brit seemed to have found her niche. Blackout blends elements of electronic and pop music to create beats that make Britney feel right at home. Nothing is more iconic than the opening line of "Gimme More", which sets the tone of the album: "It's Britney, b*tch."

    BRILLIANT. AWESOME SURPRISINGLY MODERN POP ALBUM

    This is the album that started all the modern pop trends we see today. Even though its call electro pop you can hear trap, dubstep and new wave on this album. It really is awesome and addictive filled with hedonistic lyrics and hyptonic dance beats.

    Blackout became in the most influential album of the 2000s decade, that still have impact the 2010s decade.
    Spears' album introduce dupstep and underground EDM music to mainstream pop, sound that was rejected in the beginning by the critics but was the objective that every other pop star wants to follow.
    Blackout is a perfect dance pop album, that includes low-key personal references

Generally favorable reviews - based on 24 Critic Reviews

Critic score distribution:
  1. Positive: 11 out of 24
  2. Negative: 2 out of 24
  1. The biggest failure of these songs, and the most confusing thing about this album, are the melodies.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
