    As if it wasn´t bad enough to here a full album not being able to recognize the singer's voice, this is just a set of forgetable edm tracks, without a sense of meaning. It´s a big disappointment, especially after the powerful "Femme Fatale".

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After the dance inspired fun that was 'Femme Fatale', Britney released an album that was generally recognised as one of her weakest. In hindsight, there is alot to like on this album. 'Work B' is an addictive, throbbing banger with Spears speaking in a british accent. It was and still is weird and wonderful. Other tracks that stand out are 'Alien', 'Body Ache' and 'Tik Tik Boom', albiet a very questionable rap from T. I. Most other tracks are happy to stay in a certain lane that was similar to all music of that time. The production wasn't half pushing the envelope as her previous, nor her vocals (which have been speculated) didn't seem totally her. With mostly half hearted tracks and not much in lyrical content. It was definitely not a personal album, but there are fun moments to be had here.… Expand

    The best thing on this albums are the lyrics. Britney said that this is her most personal albums and the lyrics show us that.
    But the rest is bad. I can't believe that Britney Spears released this album. The typical will.i.am sound doesn't sound good on her, the album has glitches, and that mess with MM. Without a dount, Britney's worst album to the date.

    Simplemente PÉSIMO. El peor disco de Britney hasta ahora. Work **** es el peor de sus singles. Los visuales son terriblemente básicos. TERRIBLE de principio a fin!

    Essa mulher é uma vergonha esse álbum é TOSCO
    uma bomba eletrônica de péssima qualidade e mal produzida. Uma vergonha pra música pop, miss Britney se aposente logo.

    Undoubtedly the weakest work by Spears yet,from the lyricism to the production and awkward vocal performances, BRITNEY JEAN is an overall mess.

    Britney Jean is meeh. However, the honest song writing is a cool thing but its musicality lacks traction.

    This album sucks. It has a short tracklist but it's still full of filler and try-hard songs! She should have stayed retired.

    Aunque ame a Britney debo decir que este album es el peor que ha podido sacar en toda su carrera, lo unico que me gusto de Britney Jean fueron sus singles (Perfume y Work B*tch) desde ahi el album no tiene nada bueno para ofrecer.

    Britney Spears trae su octavo álbum de estudio, y es todo menos un álbum de ella. Britney Jean suena genérico, robótico y sin vida. Spears prometía un álbum ''personal'', pero no hay nada de personal en todo esto. El álbum se siente más como un álbum de will.i.am que de la propia cantante. El álbum carece de sentido y de un concepto propio. Líricamente es bastante inmaduro e insulso. UnBritney Spears trae su octavo álbum de estudio, y es todo menos un álbum de ella.

Un EDM genérico, autotune por doquier, canciones sobreproducidas, otras con producción a medio hacer e incluso hay momentos en donde no es Britney quien canta sino una de sus coristas, Myah Marie. Los mejores momentos del álbum son en canciones como la mid-tempo ''Alien'' o la sobreproducida ''Passenger'', y aún así se sienten insípidas. Sin duda Britney Jean es el resultado de dos cosas, una agenda muy agitada y cero ganas de continuar con tu carrera, no fue una buena decisión grabar un álbum mientras planeas una residencia, y mucho menos dejarlo a mano de will.i.am quien se adueñó totalmente del proyecto. Britney Spears necesita un tiempo de descanso, es claro.

    Que album horrivel, Britney eu sou um grande fã seu mas esse album não da pra defender, claramente esse é o pior album da carreira da britney, só não ganhou "0" porque ainda tem faixas boas como Don't Cry, Perfume e Passenger

    I'm really sorry, but this is such a horrible album. There is no song that really stand out. Almost all of them are mediocre and terrible. Very weak album.

    I thought she would deliver, but it's a plain disappointment.. So called Princess of Pop failed again, after her 2 debut albums, she seems to lack a musical talent and creativity..

    Que es esto? De verdad, que tenga de puntuacion 50 es mucho, es un album terrible que no debio existir, solo se salvan (para mi) Alien, Work **** Perfume, Tik Tik Boom, Body Ache, Chillin' With You entre otras, pero de verdad, este album es pesimo, inclusive las que se salvan no son la gran cosa... Ms. Spears, nunca debiste lanzar esto uwu

    This album is about all things we don't wanna see in a artist: laziness and lack of talent. Full by song who are not either well written or produced, it shows us what a complete mess is.

    One of the worst albums of the year thus far. It shows absolutely no artistic growth, the lyrics are elementary, and the vocals are non-existent. All in all, a terrible album.

    Spears' sophomore album, which was critically one of her best, and featured the self-titled single that everyone and their mothers know. The album is headlined by such songs as Oops...I did it again, Stronger, and Lucky, with each one reaching the top 15 in the US Billboard 100 charts. Though those songs were popular, and I think they are catchy, the album does have its flaws.

(I can't get no) Satisfaction is a word-for-word cover of the original Rolling Stones song, and it just comes off as awful personally. Also, the last track on the album, Dear Diary, is very, very stupid, in my opinion. Buy it to relive some nostalgia, but be aware this is the early 2000's, and bubblegum pop is just as cheesy as you thought it was. Collapse… Expand

    A mixed bag.

    Starts off really well with William Orbit's fantastic production and Britney's solid vocals on opening track, Alien. Lead single, Work **** packs a punch with its pounding beat and Britney doing her fun British accent. Next comes a Sia-penned ballad called Perfume, which is one of Britney's best ballads of all time. It Should Be Easy is awful with its dated production and    A mixed bag.

Next comes a Sia-penned ballad called Perfume, which is one of Britney's best ballads of all time. It Should Be Easy is awful with its dated production and featuring Executive Producer of the album, WillIAM. Tik Tik Boom is repetitive and not of Britney's normal standard - it should never have made the final cut. Body Ache has some fizz, but nothing spectacular. Til It's Gone is forgettable - another WillIAM mess. Passenger is a decent song, but should Britney really be recording Katy Perry's rejects? Surely she deserves better than that. A duet with her sister on Chillin' With You is one of the worst songs Britney has ever recorded. Don't Cry sounds like it belongs on a flop girl band's album. Brighest Morning Star is too sentimental and reminds me of the terrible song, My Baby, she recorded for the Circus album. Hold On Tight is boring and sounds like another Katy Perry reject. Now That I Found You is another mistake - a Eurovision-type song that probably wouldn't even win. A Perfume remix adds nothing to the album.

    Britney made a huge mistake spending so much time on her Vegas residency whilst recording this album in a rush and not caring about the low quality. WillIAM's production is - on the whole - bad. The song choices were not great. Maybe 3 or 4 tracks deserved to make the final cut - the rest is trash.    … Expand

    An absolute zero over 10. Nothing to write about tbh. Everything that could go wrong in an album went wrong in Britney Jean. Lack of cohesion, rubbish songs, terrible vocals, lack of meaningful lyrics, poor songwriting, terrible/cliche production, terrible sound effects (like the autotune on the will.i.am featured song. can't be bothered to know the name).

    A bad album, never heard anything so bad in my life .
    Britney you lack talent to make good albums actually something you almost never met is talent.
    His album is less than virtually everything heard in my life , never will recover me an album so rubbish like that.
    I 'm ashamed to say that hearing this, I would rather be deaf than hear another bad job of these .

    A disaster. A truly terrible album lacking depth, creativity and soul. She needs to never make music ever again because this was absolutely dire. Jesus.

    This will be a short review of a truly **** album. DO NOT LISTEN TO IT. I wish I could given it a negative score because it deserves it but a 0 will have to do I guess. A really bore I changed halfway through to something else and then eventually listened to the rest so I could do my review.

    Britney Jean é um álbum ruim, do começo ao fim, parece que a Britney tentou fazer um álbum com sobras do Femme Fatale e virou isso um monte de música sem sentido a única coisa que salva no BJ é Perfume o resto não passa de músicas experimentais

    The alien, blank dead-eyedness of Britney Jean is frightening, because it feels like it’s all will.i.am trusts Britney with.

    Play this album from start to finish and it’s hard not to feel that at the core of its cheaply gratifying genealogy is nothing but misery.

    Backed up by masters of electronica David Guetta, Diplo and Swedish House Mafia’s Sebastian Ingrosso, they all make sure to drop a storm of ugly, trite and utterly soulless EDM breakdowns and dubstep drops whenever they can.
