May 24, 2011Sexy, soothing and inspired. The first album Britney delivered that was a great pop album. It sounded current and modern.. It still does - 8 years later.

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!

Sep 2, 2012I love this album and the fact that Britney actually put some effort into it. In the Zone is, in my opinion, her magnum opus, although most people prefer Blackout over it. My favourite tracks are Toxic and Touch of My Hand!
-
Dec 21, 2012One of Britney's most amazing albums. the tracks are amazing with great vocals, beats, and lyrics. standouts include Me Against The Music, I Got That (Boom Boom), Breathe On Me, Toxic,and Outrageous. There could have been at least another ballad.... but hey? It's mostly dance so it's all good!

Mar 24, 2013A Major Comeback From Britney! Another Amazing Album! Toxic, Shadow, And Everytime Are Timeless!
-
Nov 4, 2013Easily one of Britney Spears' best albums. (JK It is her best!) With the taste of your lips I'm on a ride, you're toxic I'm slippin' under...THE LEGENDARY MISS BRITNEY SPEARS
-
Dec 10, 2013her best album so far, this is an amazing pop album with elements of Hip Hop and R&B. toxic is definitely the song of the decade, 'me against the music' with MADONNA is such a great song and everytime is one of the most beautiful ballads i've ever heard. 'the hook up' makes u wanna dance like never before, it's magical!!!

Jun 15, 2018A masterpiece, I love all the songs. This album and Blackout are the best of Britney. My favorite songs are Toxic, Shadow, Oustrage, I Got That Boom Boom, Me Against The Music, Everytime. There is no bad song.

Feb 16, 2020i got the urge to revisit this album and its **** incredible. idk how this hasnt become a cult classic

Nov 21, 2011Best album of the decade
-
Jan 28, 2017Um dos melhores albuns de todos os tempos, meu segundo preferido da britney só perde pro circus, como nao amar um album que tem "Toxic" "Shodow" e a lindissima "Everytime"
-
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.

Nov 27, 2013Disgusting!! Crude awful and gross. Britney and One More, were flirty and fun, this is just dead and off-putting
Not even any really nice melodies. Like some idiots playing with a computer program with a bunch cheap effects.
The best song is hold it against me, were a fine chorus barely survives an onslaught of special effects.
Dead, gross, dumb. -
annpMar 3, 2004It sucks just like the rest of her cds
-
-
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....

rosaliegJan 8, 2004how is that slut gonna say anything about christina when she's such a big fat slut that nobody likes .Christina is just being herself not some wanna be madona bitch crack whore

opeth(wreath)Jan 26, 2005Its stupid why would you even listen to an arist that doesnt write her own songs, you must be retarded to like this.
-
-
DelegateofHellOct 4, 2005She Sucks so badly and with such commetment that I give her -10. What the hell she thinks???? She is selling music or trying to get people notice that she is a girl too by exhibiting her body!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-
[Anonymous]Nov 18, 2003Disappointing. Tends to the atonal, when she should be sticking to her hook-heavy hits.
-
-
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.

JohnnyBNov 17, 2003Oh my goodness, this album is pure crap. It's as if Ms. Spears keeps getting worse and worse. She needs to step it up I mean she's filthy rich, take some vocal lessons or learn to play an instrument. Please do something cause this same shit is getting old.
-

KenCNov 18, 2003Pure ass.

EthanHNov 19, 2003I loved her three previous albums, but this is one of the worst cd's I have ever heard. This album doesn't even deserve a zero rating, more like a -2.

Aug 30, 2016One 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. Collapse
-
Aug 31, 2019In The Zone un álbum perfecto. Trayendo nuevos ritmos para la princesa del pop, contando con nada más y nada menos que con la reina del pop Madonna, con ritmos urbanos, baladas que te llagan al corazón como Everytime o Shadow, el iconico himno Toxic, una obra maestra en toda su expresión, donde Britney demostró sus dotes como escritora.
-
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
-
DaniloLJul 2, 2006this album is fantastic ! the best yet.
-
-
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.
-
-
pikatosMar 20, 2005I shall vote her for ten points as her music is fantabulous and the way she blends her music is worth listening guess what will be her next album that will rock the whole world.

angelDec 3, 2003This album is the best album that she has let out.. she has grown up and it is about time that people see that and leave her alone when she try's to grrow up.. nobody ever complained about Christina Aguilera trying to be ghetto!

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!!
-
-
JasonLJun 30, 2006This is Britney's best album. She is an incredible artist. Britney is a true performer and she doesn't bash other female artists like she's better than them. Britney is talented, real, beautiful, and humble. She is also giving. This album is amazing.

JeffMNov 18, 2003Each song is amazing. Britney has put together a fierce, dance club party record. Thrown in are her 2 strongest ballads to date. Best Pop Album of the Year!

-
-
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!
-
-
BrittanyJoDec 11, 2003I thought it was an awesome album. I bought it the first day it came out and i listen to it everyday. I love her music. I like her way better that that slut christina aguilera. Britney Spears is a great artist!

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!
-
-
ChrisKJan 7, 2004This CD suck!!! She is nothing but a pure ho. Some of the songs are about his her tuching her self and Moaning while she does it. Thats not music. Anyone can moan and put a beat behind it. She needs to do something with her life.

Awards & Rankings
-
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.
