She finally delivers an album that's more fun than filler.
-
Unlike previous Britney albums, In the Zone has no filler and no shoddy cover versions, just 57 varieties of blue-chip hit-factory pop.
-
VibeA supremely confident dance record that also illustrates Spears's development as a songwriter. [Jan 2004, p.126]
-
Q MagazineA sprightly collection of provocative pop. [Jan 2004, p.122]
-
Especially without the aid of visuals, Spears remains a chilly nonentity who gets upstaged by her surroundings, but there are worse things for her to be than window dressing for some of the most state-of-the-art beats money can buy.
-
BlenderThis I'm-coming-out record is an unhesitant move from songs of the heart to songs of the groin. [Dec 2003, p.130]
-
SpinA hectic sonic pileup. [Dec 2003, p.130]
-
Despite inventive touches like zigzagging strings and humping-android hooks, too many tracks... are little more than wobbly, rhythm-based contraptions intended to advance Spears' sex-princess-on-the-loose image.
