Wow, Britney Spears really surprised me with Blackout. On the other hand, that isn't saying a whole lot - a coherent album is more than most people expected. Now, that being said, I must admit that it's a pretty decent album - although not because it's Britney Spears. In fact, the tracks on this album could have been sung by a handful of other current artists and come out just as good (maybe better).
This album is so simple that it's very easy to review - lucky me! First off, there is not a shred of worth to the lyrics - 11 of the 12 tracks are about sex, and the one track that isn't, "Why Should I Be Sad", is probably the album's weakest track. Also, Britney's voice is barely audible on some tracks, or run through a vocoder until she's unrecognizable. Don't worry; it's not the end of the world, because it's not the voice we're here for, but the beat.
Britney has the most addictive and catchy beats on her album - you absolutely cannot help but get caught up in the music. It's a perfect set of songs for a club or dance setting.
Recommended Tracks: "Radar", "Break The Ice", "Hot as Ice"
