Britney - Britney Spears

Some of you who have read some of my other opinions may know that my wife and I sometimes challenge each other to write opinions on things we would normally steer well clear of. Well, it is challenge time again, and this time I have entered the world of pop music Britney style. I am cringing as I put the CD into the drive, and I feel that I may be scarred by this experience, but in the name of honest reviews, I will put my doubts to one side and give you all my honest and truthful opinion. You have probably guessed that I am no Britney fan, I just think she is pushed in our faces far too much, although I have to admit that I thought she was pretty foxy in her ...  Read the complete review

Now I am definitely not the world's biggest Britney fan, as although I like a lot of her early stuff I am not at all fond of some of her most recent albums. When Britney released her first album in 1999 she was only 18 years old. I myself was only 9 years old and so her pop stance to music really appealed to me. To be perfectly honest I think that this style of music suited her much better than some of her later outings. To date Britney has released six albums in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2007 and 2008. The album I am going to review today is her third album, which was entitled Britney. This album saw her make a move away from the bubblegum pop style songs that ...  Read the complete review

I've always been a big fan of Britney but I'll be the first to admit I was a bit wary of her new single. I mean, where's the chorus? Where's the routine Max Martin crash, boom, bang chords? But it grew on me so I decided to buy her album and hope it was as good as the previous two. So, I was pleased to discover that in my opinion it is infact loads better than the previous two. It's more R&B influenced and shows her working with different producers. Here's what I think of it track by track: 1. Slave 4 U As I said...weird! But it grows on you. Its certainly different from the type of songs she usually sings but its still ...  Read the complete review

Now I am no Britney fan, quite the opposite. When I went shopping with my best friend he decided to buy me a copy of Britney’s self titled album. For some very strange reason he thought I actually liked her. He disappeared for five minutes to get it without me noticing. There I was putting on an Oscar worthy performance shouting, “Max, I love it THANK YOU!” when really in my head I was thinking, “why couldn’t he have just bought me Alicia Keys?” Anyway I had heard the Neptune’s produced some of this album so I thought why not just listen to it! I am a huge fan of the Neptune’s (And Pharrell Williams ;) but ...  Read the complete review

I rather like Britney Spears. She is unremarkable in every way, other than her appearance. Her concerts are badly mimed and only worth their fee to watch the aerobic-style antics from the out-of-rhythm diva. Her voice is substandard, but recognisable. Her albums are generally made up of 3 hits and a load of old dross. Still, there's something steely and determined about her. Pre-breakdown, she was the darling of the pop world, churning out 4 hits a year, and showing her peers how its done. This was the third of four albums from that era. The album opens with one of her biggest hits to date. I'm A Slave For You is a sexed up suggestive track with an ...  Read the complete review
