    Dyanamite! This is Britney's best cd yet, and she doesn't get the credit she deserves. The people who gave the cd a zero either have bad taste, or didn't even give it a chance. The cd is edgy, and makes you wanna hit the dance floor. It's definately one of my top favorite cd's of all time. Your missing out if you don't buy it.

    My daughters love Britney. I also came to like her when I heard this album. It's funky, and she has spunk. She is one talented woman.

    definitely britney's best album. it's so electronica, kinda reminescent of madonna's ray of light at some parts. it's ethereal and sexy and with some strong beats

    I think that this album sounds very different and catchy. Britney spent more time on this album and it shows.

    I 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.

    Not bad. Not as good as her previous efforts (not as fun and catchy), but good nonetheless.

    Great singer, great album. All the people giving 0's probably never even listened to the CD.

    I think Britney did an awesome job with this album. It's different, it's herself. and it's great. And Susan B, you must be retarded! You said "Third times a charm" well too bad it's her 4th album. Maybe you should get the facts before you try bashing an artist. You're probably just a fat, ugly bum who has nothing better to do than make fun of probably one of the I think Britney did an awesome job with this album.

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

    A 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.
