    Unlike her previous albums, this one doesn't contain those songs that make you instantly want to skip to the next track. While it still sounds like all the talent is in the producer's twiddling the knobs, they did a very good job of twiddlin' this time around.

    Britney is awesome and will always be awesome. Ive been listening to her ever since baby one more time came out and this album is even more amazing than all of her other work. Everyone out there hating on her needs to get a life and chill the fuck out. She'll grow out of this awful post-divorce funk and her hair will grow back. This album will bring Britney back! GO BRIT!!!!!

    Britney'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"

    First, I found it irritating, forgettable, and boring. Different from her previous work. As I listen to it again, I realized that it is entertaining and danceable. Futuristic at its best and shows that Britney will always hire the best. So, the album is Britney's best for me.

    This and Kylie Minogue's 'X' are two of best examples how good and understated modern electro-pop can and should be.

    Even 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.

    A famous magazine considers this the fourth best album of the decade 2000-2009. It was recorded in & out of the rehab and you can actually hear that Britney wasn't in the best conditions to record, but she still made the best comeback & amazing dance tracks. "Freakshow" features elements of dubstep, too.

    Not 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.

    "Blackout" is, without a doubt, Britney's best album. It was released during the roughest time of her live, and when her image was very damaged because of her erratic behaviour (in fact, "Blackout" is the only Britney album that hasn't reached the number 1 spot on the Billboard 200 list).

However that shouldn't have affected anyone's vision of the album, and "Blackout" is the most cohesive and meaningful album that she has ever done and, judging by her later efforts, that she will ever do. She didn't do any writing for the album (and she has never been a very productive writer), but the songs really fit her story, so she must have some good choosing skills, or very good writers working for her. The whole album is a statement, and a very effective one. It opens with "Gimme More" and the iconic "It's Britney, **** and is followed by "Piece of Me", one of her best songs ever. It is really sad that her situation was so out of control that she couldn't properly promote or perform these songs, because most of them were extremely mainstream and hits waiting to happen, and not every album has that and maintains it's quality. It is ironic how Britney could deliver her best album in her worst moment, making it to be her most ignored record. Some may say that it's overrated. I don't think it is, at all. I think she couldn't give it the attention it deserved. Highlights: Get Naked (I Got a Plan), Piece of Me, Radar, Hot as Ice… Expand

    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.    … Expand

    Blackout, considerado o melhor álbum de Britney pela maioria dos fãs, é sim, o melhor álbum dela, e talvez um dos melhores álbuns pop da década de 2000. É um CD que revolucionou a música pop, principalmente a faixa "Freakshow", que "inventou" o dubstep, e se ele não existisse, a música pop não seria como ela é hoje. Todas as faixas são boas, não tem como escolher uma melhor.

    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.

    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.

    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 la segunda biblia del pop de Britney Spears, demostrando que podía innovar de nuevo en la música, a lado de Danja siendo un excelente equipo, crearon así uno de los álbumes más influyentes del siglo XXI, aunque en su tiempo no fue tan valorado por el público, actualmente es una obra maestra que muchos han intentado copiar.

    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.
