Feb 3, 2022its a pop perfection, a pop bible cause the whole album its interesting and the song toxic its one of the best pop songs from all the time
-
Feb 5, 2022This honestly feels like the 2nd best album or 3rd she has ever made, she has creative freedom over this one, showed her creativity and displayed it, with iconic hits like "Toxic" and sad ballads like "Everytime" this is a masterpiece!!!
-
Apr 4, 2022This album is a masterpiece plain and simple. Every track is iconic and way ahead of its time.

JoeJDec 21, 2005with a sexually charged album ending with a vulnerable and soft ballad, Everytime, Spears might be more talented and sensible than we thought. This is the first thing to better things for her.

JakeNov 23, 2003With overtreated misogynistic pap by such overrated "bands" as Wilco, Flaming Lips, and Radiohead, it's nice to see a poweful, prominent woman figure put out wonderfully convoluted yet catchy tunes! Go Britney!

RyanAdamesNov 19, 2003I have Brit's last 2 albums and this one is by far the best, great songs like shadow and evrytime show her soft side, while the hook up and boom boom show that she can still make great dance beats. she is a inspiring artist and although her vocals arent as great as whitney or mariah this cd proves Brit still has her spot in Pop life.

StephGFeb 18, 2004LOVE it! It is definitely her best one yet.

JudithCFeb 25, 2005Britney FINALLY delivers a groovy and sexy record that'd fun to listen and to dance on at parties. Excellent!

JohnNov 19, 2003Great album. I love almost all of the songs on it.
-
-
Sep 10, 2011She turned sexy for this. In a good way. She wrote 8 of the 12 standard edition tracks, like "Brave New Girl" - in my opinion the best track on it. The only bad thing about "In the Zone" is the vocals that sometimes get lazy, like in "Breathe on Me" and "Early Mornin'". Should've been more powerful IMHO.

Dec 8, 2018One of the very few cases (including Britney's herself in here) when, no matter how long it be, the work will remain current. It's 2018 and Toxic could be released today or tomorrow. Such a timeless magnificent work.
-
Feb 16, 2020i got the urge to revisit this album and its **** incredible. idk how this hasnt become a cult classic
-
May 11, 2020El mejor album de Spears DE LEJOS! Ninguna canción de relleno, cohesivo, excelentes visuales, fresco y atemporal! Lo único malo es que se limita a 4 sencillos teniendo tanto potencial! Realmente muy buen álbum.

deccMar 7, 2006Good stuff definetly a step up from the teenage pop and some of the stuff ws even more r&b but this album does not show up the vocal ability we all know she has!!
-
-
BorisFSep 24, 2006after sheds the "good girl" image she releases her best work to date no longer afraid to talk about her sexaulity she slams out some of the best power pop, and dance records since madonna she shows her in song writting growth with her growth as a woman a smash pop sensation that only britney can bring!

eoghancSep 5, 2006this is a gr8 album!! mi fav song 'i ot dat boom boom'!!

EnzoPOct 31, 2008Very good album. It proves that even Spears can write good lyrics and sing more serious stuff.
-
-
MatthieuRNov 25, 2003Not bad. Not as good as her previous efforts (not as fun and catchy), but good nonetheless.
-

frozenfireDec 21, 2003this cd show's mandy moore's true inclination to good music unlike other artist her age.

NormanG.Oct 26, 2007The only passable Britney album... its the only good album she has released and the one that shows herself as who she is and shes not pretending anymore.

J.MMar 24, 2009At the time this was her strongest album to date, still it could have done better.

LindsayHNov 22, 2003I love it!

Mar 30, 2011In the Zone is Britney's sexual, exploring, and hypnotic album. It really pushed sexual image into another level. There is only one track that did not fit on the concept, its the Madonna-inspired Brave New Girl. This time, Spears sounds more natural, effortless and sexual without forcing herself. The success relies on her and the producers.
-
Sep 19, 2011It's not Britney's most innovative album, however, what makes In the Zone an appreciated effort is Britney's contribution ("Everytime" is a heartfelt ballad that flatters Britney's fragile and soft, but soothing vocals) and the album's solid production.
-
Jun 29, 2012A great effort by Britney. As a huge fan of hers it was great to see how involved she was with the making of this cd. Standout tracks are: Toxic, Early Morning, Everytime and Breathe on Me.

Oct 21, 2017Britney retorna mais madura e envolvida no seu trabalho como nunca, fazendo um dos CDs mais incríveis da música pop. Trazendo músicas que entraram pra história como "Toxic" e "Everytime", além da super parceria com Madonna.

Sep 11, 2016that album is really amazing and strong, shows to us a new britney spears, more sexy and powerful than ever,this show really good and amazing songs like toxic,breath on me, i got that and others that make this a great album one of the best of 2004(if not the best)
-
Feb 20, 2021This is definitely Britney's best album so far (2003)! This project screams sexuality and, most of all, sensuality, like only she can bring. It's also her most cohesive body of work, something that has been used before to "attack" her albums, and clearly disappears on this one. Last but not least, this one definitely says "Hi, I'm Britney and im grown. Let's have some fun".

JosephANov 19, 2003Pretty damn good. The production is wonderful, the songs are fun and melodic, and Britney sounds sexy as hell. What more could you want from her?
-
-
Dec 23, 2011This Is Such A Massive Step From Her Last Album Britney! The Best Songs Are: Me Against the Music (Even Though I Hate Madonna!) (I Got That) Boom Boom Toxic And Outrageous! The Other Songs Are Fine, Just Not As Good As Those Tracks!
-
Dec 7, 2016It's sexy and seductive, with a few upbeat numbers thrown in for good measure. Far more timeless than you might expect. If she released it now (2016) it would be lauded by critics. The production is strong, her vocals are mature and the song writing is fun yet sensible. A very, very good album indeed.
-
Jul 14, 2012Strong and forceful personality, dance music, music with personality, good compositions, one of the best in Britney. Highlight for "Toxic," "Everytime," "Brave New Girl" and "Outrageous".
-
May 29, 2012A Pretty Good Album!
Only About 6 Songs Stick Out But That's Fine!
The Whole Album Is Very Pop.... Madonna Was Not Needed To Make A Good Song... -
Apr 24, 2015In my opinion, this is Britney's first good album. Most of the songs don't hold up very well on their own, but it works really well as an album. In The Zone is musically diverse, but it also has a nice flow to it for the most part, and it's actually pretty upbeat and fun to listen to. There are only a few not-so-good songs in here, which is certainly a step up from her last three stinkers.
-
Nov 21, 2016Ok first off, let's get this one straight: This is NOT the pop bible. I'ts a fairly consistent and interesting record though. Toxic is excellent. Very good:Breathe on me, Touch of My Hand. Good: Showdown, Early Mornin', Outrageous.
-
Mar 27, 2020It's an okay album. It has many nice songs (like its first three singles: "Me Again the Music", "Toxic", and "Everytime"). However besides the singles nothing is much memorable, and it's pretty old, and it got many nice drop-outs like "And Then We Kiss", which I'm in love with.

BitBurnNov 24, 2003Hell, when is she going to pose for Playboy or Penthouse?! I mean, the music is right up there! Sooo liberated and sexual!! This record is so sensual, so bubbly, homogenized. I really dig "breathe on me". Good disco vibe. And "early morning" is great. However, artisticlly, she's gotta stop pretending being Madonna!

Sep 17, 2019It did not age well, if it shows a forced album in many ways, unsteady vocals and the sequence is not good. But the album's good sensual proposition is clear, and he does it very well, with sexy and outrageous beats.
-
[Anonymous]Nov 18, 2003Disappointing. Tends to the atonal, when she should be sticking to her hook-heavy hits.

whitJan 4, 2004meh id say its average. surprisingly most of the songs have a good beat but the vocals are really weak and the lyrics... haha umm yea. but i will say its fun to dance to!

Jul 25, 2023Toxic and Breathe on Me are the highlights, good instrumentals and production but nothing special
-
PaulaSNov 20, 2003Britney Spears is a Wanna-Be-Madonna-and we all know there is only one Madonna. She couldn't sell the album on her own-so that's why she had Madonna on it. She can't even explain her songs to the public-like on Diane Sawyer-touch of my hand-give me a break. She doesn't really have a good voice either.
-
-
moejoeJan 30, 2004The ballads are horrible. Best song, by far, is Toxic--cool arangement, and her breathy singing actually complements the song. Otherwise, there are some weak attempts to snag some of Madonna's 'Erotica' and 'Ray of Light' mojo. She sounds unconvincing, through and through. But, you can dance to it....
-
-
OCuculizaMar 13, 2004If You like Hilary Duff, then this is the album you have to buy, because it was made by her teacher. Britney takes the teen pop too far to get her albums even worse than Duff´s. "Toxic" makes the album worth a little more, but that´s it.

vixiAug 11, 2004There are 2 good songs on this album and they are Toxic and Everytime. The rest are tired after one listen.

Quite the most lifeless and unloved record to be released by an artist of Spears' global stature.

SpinA hectic sonic pileup. [Dec 2003, p.130]

Unlike previous Britney albums, In the Zone has no filler and no shoddy cover versions, just 57 varieties of blue-chip hit-factory pop.
