Amazon.co.uk Review
Poor old Britney Spears hasn’t exactly had a good time of it lately, what with her recent lackluster MTV performance and dubious appearances all over the tabloids. Blackout, her fifth studio album, is being touted as a bit of a comeback album, the title allegedly alluding to how she is "blacking out" all negative media coverage and focusing on getting back to form. Backed by an array of superstar beatmakers--Bloodshy & Avant, Pharrell Williams, T-Pain, Danja--Blackout presents a soundtrack that brims with trashy new-wave ‘nowness’. Tunes veer from the highly infectious "Freakshow" and "Toy Soldier" to the unconvincingly lascivious "Get Naked," "Ooh, Ooh Baby", and downright uninspiring ("Radar" and "Hot As Ice")--with some inroads into dirty disco ("Heaven on Earth") along the way. The tunes aren’t bad, but the brittle, robotic soundtrack does start to feel dated and dull, especially when Britney’s vocals are so intensely processed they feel equally starchy and disinterested. Comeback album it may be, but "Blackout" doesn’t point towards any clear future for Britney--nor for pop music in general. --Danny McKenna

CD Description
'Blackout' is the fifth studio album by pop superstar Britney Spears. A sassy selection of upbeat electro-tinged pop classics-in-the-making, this album tips it's hat to acts such as Mantronix and Girls Aloud whilst not alienating Spears' core fanbase. Includes the single 'Gimme More'.

Customer Reviews

Fantastic Electro-Pop
Never though I'd say this but I actually like this album. I like it enough to give it 5 stars.
Okay there are a few downsides like Britney's voice received a major make-over with layered with echoes and overdubs. The album may not go into my "best ever collection" but it will be blaring in my headphones for few weeks - that's for sure. This album would be a great at a party or just relaxing in the comforts of your own home in front of the stereo system.

But overall a great album.

AWESOME!
Best album she has ever made - and I don't say that lightly! Full of upbeat tracks and personal lyrics ('Why should I be sad?' track 12 - 'sent you to Vegas with a pocket full of paper' a reference to FedEx's infamous trip to Vegas that resulted in her divorce) it well and truely beats you with a stick and leaves an impression!
Best songs - 'Break the Ice' - next single? 'Radar', 'Ooh ooh baby', 'Perfect lover'
Buy this album or miss out on the best comeback in history!
