    Having the distinct displeasure of hearing the first putrid thing released by Ms. Spears, I have to say while it still could use some ingenuity, this second outing is certainly a better album. The title track is infectious, and an excellent pop song, but like many moments when there are attempts to make Oops! an ongoing story of sorts, it has a cheesy moment that ruins the song.

    Britney's first two albums show just how manufactured she was. Britney was always great. She got amazing with In The Zone and then on... Although there are some gems on this album like 'Stronger' , 'Can't make you love me' , 'Dont Go Knocking On My Door' and 'What You See Is What U Get' it cant help but be dragged down by the filler.

    Spears' sophomore album, which was critically one of her best, and featured the self-titled single that everyone and their mothers know. The album is headlined by such songs as Oops...I did it again, Stronger, and Lucky, with each one reaching the top 15 in the US Billboard 100 charts. Though those songs were popular, and I think they are catchy, the album does have its flaws.

Though those songs were popular, and I think they are catchy, the album does have its flaws. (I can't get no) Satisfaction is a word-for-word cover of the original Rolling Stones song, and it just comes off as awful personally. Also, the last track on the album, Dear Diary, is very, very stupid, in my opinion. Buy it to relive some nostalgia, but be aware this is the early 2000's, and bubblegum pop is just as cheesy as you thought it was.… Expand

    The best songs on this album all have exactly the same formula...basically the 2 verses then a different middle bit and then the end chorus which is the original chorus repeated about 3 times with the middle bit played under it. The rest is either too mushy or just not good enough.

    A nice europop record with a lot of sweet ballads. Better than the first one, Oops! i did it again and stronger are the best tracks from this album....

    'Oops' is just a letdown in comparision to 'Baby One More Time'. It's so same-y, sound is so repetetive here. Three out of four singles, and collectively like 5 songs on this album follows the same production path and elements as the title track. And yes, "Oops I Did it Again" is a really good song, but making it 5 times is not good. I enjoy "Stronger", which is similar, but out of all of'Oops' is just a letdown in comparision to 'Baby One More Time'. It's so same-y, sound is so repetetive here.

And yes, "Oops I Did it Again" is a really good song, but making it 5 times is not good. I enjoy "Stronger", which is similar, but out of all of other "Oops"-sounding tracks it's much more distinctive, and as title suggests, stronger. "Lucky" has a great message, but I wish it could have original sound... Other songs there are forgettable and boring... Worst Britney Spears album.… Expand

    Spears' new album does sound exactly like her last one.

    It has the same combination of sweetly sentimental ballads and endearingly gaudy dance-pop that made One More Time.

    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.
