It has the same combination of sweetly sentimental ballads and endearingly gaudy dance-pop that made One More Time.
-
Like it or not, the songs penned for Britney by Swedish producer Max Martin, the man behind the even more successful Backstreet Boys, get into your brain like ketamine.
-
Just because the Britney Spears Empire was not built on actual artistic merit doesn't mean the singer can't craft -- or have crafted for her -- a snappy and utterly enjoyable pop record.
-
Oops!... I Did It Again proves beyond a doubt that Britney Spears is The One.
-
There may be no more audacious piece of music this year than Britney Spears' assault on the Rolling Stones' ''(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction.''... the remake is at once preposterous and winning.
-
Spears' new album does sound exactly like her last one.
-
This time it's the cover of '(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction' that grabs the headlines. The surprisingly credible version limbers into life with Britney chatting away to her pals on the phone.
-
Under the cheese surface, Britney's demand for satisfaction is complex, fierce and downright scary, making her a true child of rock & roll tradition.
-
Saturated with choruses too well designed to be written off as anything less than calculatedly brilliant.
-
As she evolves, Spears is wisely sticking with age-appropriate material that her teen constituency can bond with.
-
Oops! does succeed in making Spears sound sexier and meatier -- and not that innocent -- as its team of top-shelf producers (particularly Max Martin and Rodney Jerkins) supports her adenoidal vocals and breathy hiccups with bottom-heavy arrangements that provide a bit more thrust and pump to the proceedings.

47 minutes of homogenous power pop...
