    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.

    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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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.

    Over a decade since its release, and yet the songs not only fail to sound outdated, but seem as though they could be released today and receive an overwhelmingly positive response.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

    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.

    Excellent album, Bible de la pop, cet album expĆ©rimental est un des meilleurs albums de Britney. Un mĆ©lange de sons et d'ambiance qui vous feront danser ou rĆŖver.

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

    One of the best and most innovative albums of all time. With hit songs like Gimme More and Piece Of Me, Ms. Spears proves that even at her lowest, she can still end up making some of the most exhilarating club bangerz.

    Depois de um perĆ­odo conturbado em sua carreira, Britney volta 4 anos depois do seu Ćŗltimo lanƧamento, ā€In The Zoneā€. Entre este perĆ­odo, 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 polĆŖmicas e muita confusĆ£o. Spears nos traz muito mais que nĆ³s poderĆ­amosDepois de um perĆ­odo conturbado em sua carreira, Britney volta 4 anos depois do seu Ćŗltimo lanƧamento, ā€In The Zoneā€. Entre este perĆ­odo, 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 polĆŖmicas e muita confusĆ£o. Spears nos traz muito mais que nĆ³s poderĆ­amos esperar para o seu retorno. Essencialmente com produĆ§Ć£o de Danja e Bloodshy & Avant, ā€Blackoutā€ traz o seu material mais maduro atĆ© entĆ£o, um Ć”lbum coeso do comeƧo ao fim; diferente do que vinha a acontecer em sua vida, ā€Blackoutā€ vem com mais acertos que erros.
    No fim dos anos 90, Britney Spears surgiu como um estouro teen, ao lado de seus amigos do ā€Clube do Mickeyā€, Justin Timberlake de N*Sync e Christina Aguilera. A faixa ā€Baby One MOre Timeā€, que traƧou o topo dos Estados Unidos por 2 semanas e o seu disco homĆ“nimo vendeu mais 25 milhƵes de cĆ³pias ao redor do planeta, mas agora em 2007, Britney traz como carro chefe, ā€Gimme Moreā€, com o forte bordĆ£o ā€Itā€™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 ā€Piece of Meā€, Britney diz que Ć© o sonho americano desde seus 17 anos e faz uma crĆ­tica aos paparazzis que a todo momento estĆ£o a clicando atrĆ”s de uma nova manchete nos tablĆ³ides e as pessoas que por este movito, julgam-lhe cosntantemente: ā€NĆ£o vejo problema em trabalhar e ser mĆ£e (ā€¦) vocĆŖs querem um pedaƧo de mim?ā€. Em ā€Radarā€, Britney tem o homem dos seus sonhos em sua mira, em ā€Break The Iceā€, melhor faixa do disco e em ā€Get (Naked I Got A Plan)ā€, Spears tambĆ©m tem o desejo de conquistar e entrar em sintonia com seu parceiro (ā€Eu nunca me senti assim, vocĆŖ deixou o meu coraĆ§Ć£o bater feito um sintetizadorā€ / ā€NĆ³s somos adultos agora, eu faƧo vocĆŖ descongelarā€¦ Vamos pegar fogo.ā€ ā€“ canta Britney em ā€Break The Iceā€). ā€Heaven on Earthā€ nos traz direto ao Ć³timo ā€Confessions on A Dance Floorā€ de Madonna, com uma inspiraĆ§Ć£o na era disco de Donna Summer e Giorgio Moroder.A Ćŗnica faixa assinada por Britney Spears, ā€Freakshowā€, Britney simplesmente diz que quer sacodir o bumbum na pista de danƧa e deixar as garotas morrendo de inveja, a faixa traz uma novidade conhecida hoje como ā€dubstepā€, recurso eletrĆ“nico que seria ainda mais ampliado em popularidade em sua faixa nĆŗmero 1 de 2011, ā€Hold It Against Meā€ e pelo multi-Grammy winner Skrillex. O Ć”lbum passa pelas nĆ£o tĆ£o Ć³timas ā€Toy Soldierā€, ā€Hot As Iceā€, ā€Ooh Ooh Babyā€ e melhora em ā€Perfect Loverā€ e ā€Why Should I Be Sadā€, a Ćŗltima assinada por Pharrell Williams e The Neptunes, que nos remete a Ć³tima ā€Boysā€ de seu disco anterior.
    NĆ£o Ć© a toa que ā€Blackoutā€ Ć© um dos discos mais influentes dos Ćŗltimos 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 mĆ£e, talvez mais madura e eternamente como a princesa do pop.    … Expand

    Blackout, considerado o melhor Ć”lbum de Britney pela maioria dos fĆ£s, Ć© sim, o melhor Ć”lbum dela, e talvez um dos melhores Ć”lbuns pop da dĆ©cada de 2000. Ɖ um CD que revolucionou a mĆŗsica pop, principalmente a faixa "Freakshow", que "inventou" o dubstep, e se ele nĆ£o existisse, a mĆŗsica pop nĆ£o seria como ela Ć© hoje. Todas as faixas sĆ£o boas, nĆ£o tem como escolher uma melhor.

    After a three year hiatus amid a mental breakdown, Britney Spears proved that she was still reigning pop royalty. Each track has its own unique sound, propelled by inferior production. By far her most adventurous work to date!

    Funny thing is that Britney recorded her (by far) best album while she was at her worst. Blackout is a really nice album and has made history in many cultures. It has those beats all over, but they're by no means generic and still really dance-able today. You hit the right spot, Ms. spears!

    Baby One More Time is her best album, just because is her debut album but this is definitely her most personal album, Britney Jean is just a waste of time... This is a truly comeback.

    This 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).

    I could list why every song on this album is just pure perfection, but it would take too long. "Blackout" is widely regarded as the most influential pop album in recent times, and rightfully so. Absolute perfection.

    Britney at her best.
    I love this album. Not a single track in Blackout disappoints me. She got there first before everyone else jumped on the electro-dance wagon in 2011. Futuristic, sexy, under-rated.
    My album of 2007.

    the world's biggest pop star has released one of her best records. out passing her In The Zone era, Blackout takes you into a world of fame, money, sex and glamour as Britney sings hits like Gimme More featuring Danja and lovey dovey ones like Ooh Ooh Baby alongside the amazing Piece Of Me and Toy Soldier

    Probably the best album that Britney Spears will ever produce. It's the only of her records that lacks a bit of the shallow and empty touch that In The Zone exceeded and Femme Fatale sums up in voice effects and over-production.

    Only time would be able to tell how much this would become the decade-to-come's most influential album.

Considering what Britney did before and what she has done after this, Blackout certainly puts itself apart from her other productions, for only one reason: its darkness. Different from the easy-going, glowing "Circus", Blackout has deeper tracks with melodies that are catchy and yet continue to have quality. Certainly influenced by a dark/struggle period in her life, Britney was able to create (since she is the executive producer of it) a cohesive and creative album. "Gimme More", "Freakshow", "Piece of Me" and "Heaven on Earth" are amazing. Incredible work.… Expand

    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.
