    First of all, Britney Spears wrote 5 songs on this album, that totally rock, and second of all she still got your money for the purchase of her CD. I think girls that think Britney is a slut are very insecure because they don't look like her or they are jealous. This album is amazing. Keep up the good work Brit!!!!!

    I love the whole CD, but even if the rest of the songs sucked, "That's Where You Take Me" would still be worth the price of the whole CD.

    In my opinion, this is Britney's best album. It stands out from her three others (four, counting My Prerogative) because of its dancey sound. The lyrics are more mature than Oops!... and ...Baby One More Time, the sound is a whole new dimension, and her voice is awesome. You can dance to this album, do homework while listening to this album, sing tracks from this album, or just In my opinion, this is Britney's best album.

    I just simply love this magnificent album. The tracks are both feminine and energetic. It seems that Britney has grown into a woman!

    The new album from Britney Spears, "Britney", is a widely varying and ultimately pleasing experience from start to finish. She is displaying a new maturation and talent that is more evident now than ever. And I think people like Anna H. here should be ashamed of themselves for making such ridiculous and hurtful comments that really should not have been posted in the first place.

    This album marks Britney's change into a young woman with more hard hitting songs and sexier vocals. She also wrote 5 songs on this album something that she hadn't done in her entire career. A mix of the new Britney and the old.

    A Britney amadureceu muito nesse álbum e deu de 10 a zero no quesito sensualidade do álbum. Os singles foram muito bem escolhidos e os vídeos são ótimos também

    Um dos melhores álbuns de Britney Spears. Os vocais do álbum são muito bem trabalhados, as músicas tem melodias incriveis, além de ser uma inspiração de muitos outros artistas

    Album de l'émancipation. Vraiment personnel (Overprotected, I'm Not A Girl Not Yet A Woman), cet album met en évidence une nouvelle Britney, qui souhaite se libérer de son monde où elle est prisonnière afin de montrer qu'elle n'est plus seulement "la petite fiancée de l'Amérique".

    I seriously do not understand why this album is so underrated. I agree that it's not britney's best work, but at the same time this album accomplishes so many anthems, such as I'm A Slave 4 U, Overprotected and Lonely. And it's a mark for her career, because it really separates the Britney from her past two albums, from the Britney of the albums to come.

    This album continues the search for her music growth. So many other gems didn't make the cut to the album, but at least we get dancing tracks that reflect a young mind in the center of the spotlight.

    This is one of her best albums. Now she's not a girl, but not yet a woman. Unfortunately was not well used, not releasing the best tracks. One of my favorites

    Still my favorite Britney album to date! It's sad that this was her first album to not have a top ten hit in the US, but I think the US wasn't ready for "sexy" Britney yet. The singles were successful in other territories, so maybe Americans were still trying to hold on to the "innocent" Britney. The album was released only a year and a half after Oops!...I Did it Again, so maybe it wasStill my favorite Britney album to date!

The album was released only a year and a half after Oops!...I Did it Again, so maybe it was slightly ahead of its time.It was definitely a transition album for her, though, with I'm a Slave 4 U and Boys having R&B and hip-hop vibes to them, but it still gave us those typical girl power/coming of age anthems that we love, like Overprotected, Cinderella (my personal favorite off the album, and one of the tracks that she co-wrote), I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman, and What It's Like to be Me. It's definitely full of songs that you will want to sing you heart out to in the car!… Expand

    Britney Spears demostró tener sonido un poco futurista, aunque se noto la influencia de Justin Timberlake en su producción y ritmo, britney cambia drásticamente de una chica linda y dulce, a una más sensual.

    Used to be my least favourite Britney album, now my absolute favourite. I love this album so much, every song is amazing and works so well with the theme. It's a perfect sequel to the "Oops!.. I did it again" era. My favourites on this album include "I run away", "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman", "Before the goodbye", "I love rock n' roll" and many more.

    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.

    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.
