    Britney, the self tilted album from Britney Spears shows the maturity from her teen pop sound that she strated her career with. Britney seems to be less focused on the “ generic pop hits” that will top the billboard 100 and more abou the lyrical content in her songs [ hence her writing six songs in this album and with only one of the singles charting well on the US billboard 100 chart].

Britney seems to be less focused on the “ generic pop hits” that will top the billboard 100 and more abou the lyrical content in her songs [ hence her writing six songs in this album and with only one of the singles charting well on the US billboard 100 chart]. I must say Britney is not completely grown up and a women but she is almost there and this was the right step in her new sound and maturity.

    - My favorites from this album are
    - I’m not a girl, not yet a women
    - Slave 4 u
    - Anticipating
    - Bombastic love
    - Where you take me

    Least favorite
    - Boys
    - Lonely
    - I love rock n roll

    Not a huge fan of Britney’s “ pop rock songs “.

    É um album otimo, porem tem algumas filers, mas é muito bom, I'm Slave 4 U acaba sendo a melhor faixa, é um bom album mas ela tem outros melhores. Overprotected é otima tambem

    A small step backwards from her previous album. Good tracks: Overprotected, I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet a Woman. The latter track sais it all, but i can't say she ever matured (became a woman) in her music. That's not to say her music is bad.

    Best Britney album. She does some new stuff while still keeping her patented little pop songs

    even if it is sometimes catchy, the result is just an ordinary pop record, with poor vocals and simple production. and the ballad "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" is absolutely awful

    It's enough of a reinvention to suggest that Britney will know what to do when the teen-pop phenomenon of 1999-2001 passes for good.
  2. While she's been guilty of gluing sure-fire singles together with rotten fillers on her previous two albums, Britney uses this opportunity to take the odd risk and adds a welcome edge to her sound.
  3. An unmitigated drag.
