    En el momento más oscurobde su vida logró brillar pese a que su vida personal estaba revuelta, blackout es el disco más influyente de las últimas 2 décadas y al no contar con ninguna balada simplemente es delirante

    Genuinely an impactful and solid pop album. Every song is great. The production is amazing and quite varied, as well as the vocal performance. Looking back it’s apparent just how impactful this album was. It ushered in a new sound to pop music, paving the way for artists like Lady Gaga, Kesha, Carly Rae, Dua lipa, etc.

    As a hardcore Brit fan I would say this is Britney's most revolutionary, seductive, personal and edgy album. Production is definitely ahead of its time... This masterpiece is for people who can truly appreciate and enjoy it.

    It is called the "Bible of Pop" for a reason. Britney Spears knows how to make dance and killer songs like those in Blackout. Like how can one not jam to the songs like Gimme More, Piece of Me, Break the Ice, or Heaven on Earth? One of the best albums I've ever listened, and the best album of Britney.

    This album is the hands-down best pop album of the 2000s. The iconic line "It's Britney **** sets you in the mood for this album like nobody else has done it before. All 14 tracks from this song are the best songs you will ever hear. Even the singles are perfect. Gimme More, Piece Of Me & Break The Ice. Just a Chief's kiss!

    The 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.

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

    So, 2007 and Britney Spears had a breakdown because of the paparazzi refusing to deem her a human being, and she recorded Blackout. Blackout is one of her most diverse and most insane albums of her entire career. It has no ballads, which always bring a Britney album down a level, and the lyrics definitely aren't the hit there.

    Fav Track: Piece of Me, Gimme More, Get Naked, Toy Soldier

  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.
