    Tiene canciones bastante memorables, con sonidos diferentes a sus albúmes anteriores, aunque no tiene referencias personales, siento que no hace falta como dicen algunos "críticos". Entre los sonidos del pop durante el 2016 este álbum fue un gran diferencial y escapista.

    A welcome departure from her previous works. She sounds fresh, engaging and improved. Slumber Party, Love Me Down, Just Like Me and Just Luv Me are outstanding tracks.

    best pop album of 2016! not even lying, of course there were great pop/rock or R&B albums, but this is the best pop album of 2016, it is nearly pop perfection, sad it didn’t have more music videos for Liar or Change Your Mind for example… it was a comeback!!! but it wasn’t promoted as good as it should’ve been… YOU ROCK BRITNEY

    "Glory" is an appropriate name for this project that marks Britney's comeback after a three-year hiatus, in a very satisfactory way. It's a good album, with many fresh bops, including the infectious dancefloor hit "Slumber Party".

    Britney redeemed herself with this album. She changed her style and she did perfectly. The vocals and the production are on point, she sounds great and they clearly listened to the fans complaints.
    The highest points of this album are Make Me, Slumber Party (the original version without Tinashe), Just Like Me and What You Need (Which was the perfect end for the standard edition)

    Glory es el noveno trabajo de la aclamada y a la vez odiada princesa del pop. Y es que nadie en sus inicios le adjudicaba ni dos o tres años de relevancia y prevalencia en la efímera y oscura industria musical, ni mucho menos haber marcado toda una generación en aquel entonces; y solía ser aun más atacada por no poseer “talento”. No por nada las criticas no dudaban en escatimar el hacerGlory es el noveno trabajo de la aclamada y a la vez odiada princesa del pop. Y es que nadie en sus inicios le adjudicaba ni dos o tres años de relevancia y prevalencia en la efímera y oscura industria musical, ni mucho menos haber marcado toda una generación en aquel entonces; y solía ser aun más atacada por no poseer “talento”. No por nada las criticas no dudaban en escatimar el hacer hincapié sin descanso en la falta de este. Y es más, Britney había logrado ser en parte más reconocida por el indiscriminado uso de autotune sin pudor alguno en cada uno de sus trabajos, tomando a favor esa característica y transformándolo en una especie de marca personal al igual que su forzada voz grave de gemidos sensuales de bebe afónico.

    Glory abre con Invitation, una producción alejada del EDM que venía explotando anteriormente, que nos invita a esta nueva faceta de Britney sensual. Con ritmos ligeros RnB contemporáneo y Britney cantando sin tantos retoques robóticos computarizados, confiando en sus habilidades para dejar algo de autotune en segundo plano. Al igual que en Make Me y Just Luv Me, enseñan el lado más sensual de Glory que nos sumergen en sus fantasías y deseos.

    En Better y Hard To Forget Ya, Britney recupera y actualiza su excentricidad de diva del pop y nos recuerda que ella no por ha sido nombrada con un título noble de realeza del pop. Mientras que en Do You Wanna Come Over?, si bien podría ser una de las referencias más explícitas en cuanto liricas rozando lo aversivo, es una producción solida que nos recuerda al legendario Toxic en los cautivantes acordes de guitarra cerca del puente, sin perder identidad propia o querer recrear aquel épico himno. Con Change Your Mind (No Seas Cortes), Britney adopta un sonido latino y algo de español, pidiendo a su amante que no se preocupe por ser cortes, que solo vaya directo a la acción. Y con Clumsy vuelve a jugar brevemente con los beat electrónicos dubstep. Con Private Show, Britney hace recurso de analogías teatrales para poder ambientarnos, que ella está a cargo del entretenimiento “-Pull the curtains until they close, I'll put on a private show”- mientras entrega las vocales más rescatables y sinceras en años, una canción Do Woop sazonada con evidentes influencias a lo Mariah a lo largo de la pista; podría ser considerado una especie de Circus parte dos. Y What You Need, una composición uptempo mezclada de soul con gospel, en la que Britney trata de revindicar sus habilidades vocales una vez más, sacando a relucir todo el arsenal de sus adorables y consistentes graves. El punto más fuerte de su voz. Y Liar es quizás una de las mejores canciones dentro del álbum, Britney vuelve a relucir por su voz con una producción pop brillante que nos cuenta sobre el hartazgo a las mentiras de su amante.

    Glory es el respiro que la carrera de Britney venía pidiendo a gritos luego de haber tomado un camino tortuoso saturado de producciones electrónicas hechas solo ganar más público en las pistas de baile. Y luego del estrepitoso tropiezo que fue Britney Jean, Glory se siente más logrado y sin tratar de querer enganchar desesperadamente alguna canción en listados populares. Una Britney que sabe sus limitaciones como sus puntos fuertes es presentada en cada composición; y si bien puede llegar a ser pretencioso, absurdo y la mayoría de las liricas son explicitas a más no poder, provienen de una mujer madura que no necesita demostrar nada. Glory nos expone a una Britney divertida y atrevida sin miedo a expresar sus deseos carnales. Es el trabajo de una princesa del pop que ha logrado convertirse en un icono legendario con el paso de los años.

    The problem with this album was the missed opportunities. This record have great tracks like Slumber Party, Better, Private Show and one of the best songs in Britney's career: Make Me. I feel an amazing improvement from her past record (Britney Jean), it just feels more mature and fresh. Nothing relevant in the vocal aspect, something regular when we talk about Britney.

    Glory traz uma Britney já conhecida só que ao mesmo tempo reinventada e com uma segurança, talvez, nunca antes vista em nenhum de seus trabalhos. Além do pop, o disco transcende por alguns estilos diferentes, como o R&B, batidas eletrônicas, um country sutil em Just Like me e batidas de funk em If i'm dancing.

Além do pop, o disco transcende por alguns estilos diferentes, como o R&B, batidas eletrônicas, um country sutil em Just Like me e batidas de funk em If i'm dancing. Agregando a isso, a artista canta em francês e se arrisca no espanhol, o que agrega ainda mais para que o disco seja tão glorioso. O disco inicia fazendo um convite a todos os ouvintes, deixando claro que eles são os convidados de honra da paté cesa do pop para essa experiência. De modo geral, o disco fala sobre um relacionamento e algumas fases que passa essa relação. Nas primeiras músicas e possível ver uma garota admirada e louca de amor por um homem, até então a mesma vê-se sendo correspondida. Em Just Luv Me, começa os primeiros sinais de que essa relação não é tratada da mesma maneira por ambos, só que ela não se importa. Quando o disco começa a mudar a história e essa garota descobre o verdadeiro homem, perde-se um pouco o poder e a vontade de continuar escutando o disco. Algumas canções começam a ficar repetitivas, até que chega a musica que muda tudo isso, Liar, uma das joias preciosas desse álbum. A música transcende poder e raiva diante a situação. O final do disco foi muito bem pensada, não deixou um sentimento de tristeza, e acredito que seja a intenção dela. As últimas músicas mostram que essa mulher não abaixou a cabeça para a vida e continuou levando sua vida, curtindo,dançando e se divertindo. Apesar de ter algumas letras que traduzem o mesmo significado, o álbum não fica enjoativo, isso porque algumas músicas importantes foram colocadas em posições estratégicas. Pra mim, algumas canções como, Private Show e Clumsy poderiam ser retiradas do disco que não faria falta, além disso, acrescentaria Mood Ring, que ainda não entendo como uma das melhores músicas ficou fora da versão oficial do disco. Glory não é o melhor, muito menos o pior disco da Britney, longe disso, ele veio para mostrar o quão segura a princesa do pop está novamente, deixando aberta a possibilidade nos próximos trabalhos, desde estilos musicais a até mesmo línguas diferentes serem cantadas por ela. 78/100… Expand

    "Glory" was the best album of the 2010s in my opinion. Now this one was a comeback! Britney herself said that she was very involved in the process which she hadn’t been in a long time (probably since "Blackout" which was released in 2007) and she called it her "baby". "Glory" picked up where Britney‘s magnum opuses "In the Zone" (2003) and "Blackout" (2007) left off. Those two albums were"Glory" was the best album of the 2010s in my opinion. Now this one was a comeback! Britney herself said that she was very involved in the process which she hadn’t been in a long time (probably since "Blackout" which was released in 2007) and she called it her "baby". "Glory" picked up where Britney‘s magnum opuses "In the Zone" (2003) and "Blackout" (2007) left off. Those two albums were experimental (for Britney’s standards), she tried something new with them, she was involved in the songwriting and production process and they were her sexiest works. All of that is exactly what she did with "Glory" as well, which is why it ranks at number three in the list of her best albums right after those two masterpieces that I mentioned above. Vocally it is Britney‘s best album since "Britney" (2001). She’s no Whitney Houston but she does show off what she can do with her unique voice on this album on songs like "Private Show" or "What You Need". Now don’t get me wrong. I LOVED "Circus" (2008) and "Femme Fatale" (2011). They were two excellent pop albums but "Circus" felt a bit rushed and maybe uninspired (?) in some parts, while "Femme Fatale" was a great dance pop album but it Britney wasn’t involved in it at all and lacked personality. "Britney Jean" (2013) was lacklustre but not terrible either. It did have its gems but it was definitely her worst album. So "Glory" was a HUGE improvement. For the first time ever Britney sang in different languages; French ("Coupure Électrique"), Spanish ("Change Your Mind") and even a made up language in "Man on the Moon". It‘s a pop album overall but it plays with R&B ("Make Me..."), doo-wop ("Private Show"), electronical music ("Clumsy"), latin pop ("Change Your Mind"), pop-rock ("Liar"), tropical house ("Better"), experimental pop ("If I‘m Dancing"), reggae ("Slumber Party") and burlesque sounds ("What You Need"). Songs like "Do You Wanna Come Over?", "Change Your Mind", "Make Me..." and "Mood Ring" bring back the sexy Britney that we know and love. "Coupure Électrique", "Mood Ring“, "Love Me Down" and "Do You Wanna Come Over?" also remind me of the iconic dark dance sound that "Blackout" had.
    "Just Like Me", "Liar", "Just Luv Me" and "Man on the Moon" are the deepest songs on the album and could be autobiographical. All in all "Glory" is pop perfection and the return of the "old" Britney.

    One of Britney's best albums! The songs are very good and you can notice Britney really wanted to release this one.

    Following the Britney Jean debacle, we were treated to a solid musical comeback by Ms. Spears for her ninth studio album.

This album is surprisingly lengthy, experimental, and vocally interesting. This predominantly mid-tempo record is certainly a reprieve from the back-to-back dance hits for which she is known, but Britney pulls it off beautifully. The following are highlights on the record:

    Make Me
    Slumber Party (album version, minus the unnecessary Tinashe collaboration)
    Man On The Moon
    Change Your Mind
    Liar
    Just Like Me (Very interesting vocal delivery; Britney is singing with her natural deep register, and singing along with a guitar-- the track appears to be largely a cappella. One of the most interesting songs she has ever done, both lyrically and vocally).

    Tracks to skip:

    If I’m Dancing (the working definition of the word “cacophony”)

    Private Show (painful vocal delivery and cringe-worthy lyrics)

    Do You Wanna Come Over? (This promo track and clear single-contender suffered enormously from the chaotic, off-key chorus of men haphazardly shouting in the background. Sans that highly unpleasant and recurrent disruption, this would’ve been a solid pop track).    … Expand

    The fact that Britney waited too long to release this album because she took her time and not wanting an immediate hit or following a contract, and coming from the selfless Britney Jean, it's an upgrade in 180 degrees, it's experimental, probably her most experimental album. She may discovers a new Britney in this one.

    It's Britney's best album in years, it does not beat Femme Fatale, but it's still pretty good. Pity that Britney let lose some good songs like Love Me Down, Change Your Mind, Liar, Just Luv Me ... really every song of the album deserved to be single, except for Private Show and What You Need, which are the worst of the album. 9/10

    Es un album en el que los sonidos son muy repetitivos, pero hay canciones que tienen una buna letra, otras que son muy bienas, y otras definitivamente que a mi parecer son realmente malas.

    Best album of Britney Spears, every track sounds perfect and unique.
    Moreover, we can hear an optimal mix between sound effects and Britney's real voice, and we all know how amazing is her voice!
    The only flaw is that the best tracks are located in the deluxe edition (Liar, Change your mind), but it doesn't matter! Welcome back, Britney!

    "Glory" is for sure one of the best albums Britney has ever released. We can understand the emotion and the feeling in all the songs. It has a more RnB vibe, though, there are some pretty good pop-dance tracks, such as "Do You Wanna Come Over?" and "Slumber Party". I was really surprised by the quality of the Deluxe Edition tracks, which are better than some of the Standard Edition ones."Glory" is for sure one of the best albums Britney has ever released.

I was really surprised by the quality of the Deluxe Edition tracks, which are better than some of the Standard Edition ones. The production here is incredible, the track-listing is on point ("Invitation" is a good opener and "Coupure Electrique" the perfect closer) and the vocals are better than ever, even though we can clearly hear the auto-tune in some tracks, which can be annoying. My personal favorites are "Change Your Mind", "Liar", "Coupure Electrique" and "Just Luv Me".

    A solid album, that with better promotion and a better song chosen as the lead single, it would have been a commercial success    … Expand

    Britney Spears showcased her voice very well on Glory. Glory is easily one of the best Britney album she has ever made. 2016 is definitely Britney and Glory's year and I think this album deserves more recognition.

    Britney Spears is back with her winning pop-perfection formula with standout songs like "Slumber Party", "Liar", "Love Me Down", "Man on the Moon" and "Change Your Mind". It is finally time to forget her "Pretty Girls" days and recognize her influence of a pop-star that never ages.

    She recovered very well of the Britney Jean era. GLORY is the saviour of pop in 2016 for me. People lose time comparing female artists albums, they forget BRITNEY SPEARS is a must listen to in the industry.

    This album makes me (ooh)... WOW! It's incredible, but very underrated by critics. There's a different sound, a sexier Spears, It creates a wonderful atmosphere, especially with Make Me... and Slumber Party. If she sponsored more the album instead of the Residency it would be a big popularity.

However, Although Spears may not be as relevant in the music scene in the sense that she is not starting twitter beefs with others and deterring her fans with her purposeful pop (cough cough Katy Perry), the songs on this album see Spears happier and in a better place creating the music that her fans have appreciated her for. Since this albums release, certain albums have been labelled as part of the Britney B***h trinity. These album are of course In The Zone (2003), Blackout (2007) and Glory (2016). Why? This is because these albums are the creme de la creme of her career. This album is probably her strongest comeback yet and thus implements her title of The Princess of Pop.… Expand

    This is certainly the most confident, creative and most hard-worked album since In The Zone or Blackout, two Pop gems.

I Did it Again nostalgia with 'Clumsy', and a sexy latin dance with No Seas Cortés. An amazing track, featured in the Japonese's editions, 'Mood Ring', features a personal meaning to it's lyrics and a catchy sound. There are some sounds that didn't went along very well, like 'Private Show', although it deserves a credit for at least trying to create a unique sound. This album is everything that Pop needs right now, and a listen is extremely recommended.… Expand

    Although it marks no significant shift in style--she’s still mining the same pop-R&B seam--it’s undoubtedly a better effort than its predecessor.

    Like Britney herself, Glory is a fascinating if flawed listen--while she remains very much a singles artist, this is her most successful record in a while, and still contains glimpses of why she remains so compelling, 18 years into her career.

    Glory is no masterpiece, but it’s a marked improvement on 2013’s ‘Britney Jean’, a messy attempt to merge thumping EDM tunes with supposedly reflective midtempo songs.
