    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.

    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 Over a decade since its release, and yet the songs not only fail to sound outdated, but    Rarely does a pop album deserve a 10/10 rating. This is that album.

    Over a decade since its release, and yet the songs not only fail to sound outdated, but seem as though they could be released today and receive an overwhelmingly positive response.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. Nothing is more iconic than the opening line of "Gimme More", which sets the tone of the album: "It's Britney, b*tch."

    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.

    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. Fun, bubble gum pop that you can't help but dance to. "Radar" "Piece of Me" and "Gimme More" are stand outs but the best is "Toy Soldier" which should be a HUGE dance club hit.

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

    So much about Britney's actual "blackout". This version of her public life is splendid enough to make me hug it for the rest of my musically-inclined life. Its her best album since her debut and deserves more credit. As she sang in "Why Should I Be Sad?", "it's time for me to move along/it's time for me to get along".

    "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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It's Britney **** that says it all... there's something magical about it that you listen to it in 2016 and it still sounds fresh and avant-guard, No other Britney album will reach the standards this one set!

    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.

    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.

    This is one of those albums we are going to listen in the future and say: that was what pop looked like. Britney gives us this "Britney B**ch" persona which we dive in during the whole album.

    I was never a fan, except for the bounciness of Toxic & the pathos of Something, I never gave much thought about Ms Britney, that is, until she shaved her head. What a great show of defiance!

    Hmm. never liked britney b4, but some of these songs are, i grudgingly admit, quite brilliant, and very avant garde. 'piece of me' is better and more futuristic than a lot of electronic bands (Digitilism, Underworld, etc.) which was a shock.

    i actually think this album is fun, different and artfully crafted to kiss off her image as a bad parent, drug addict, trainwreck and forces us to realize why we loved britney before....her music...not her voice, her music. i think this is a great way of proving she hasn't gone completely crazy!

    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.
