She may be bald, and her parenting skills may be more backwoods than the celebrity-obsessed would prefer, but when it comes to her profession (singing pop songs, for those who have forgotten) you've got to give Brit a break. Not because her previous records have been flawless--for all its first-listen appeal, Oops! I Did It Again will drive even the most tolerant pop fiend bats after two repeats, and it's hard for long-term fans to overlook the unfortunate "I Love Rock N Roll" off 2001's Britney--but because, despite all the personal tumult, she's feeling the music like never before. Blackout is not a brilliant record for its vocals, though they're good in the cooing, sex-kittenish way we've come to expect (check first single "Gimme More," a monstrously catchy dance-pop number, for the requisite moans and sighs). But it is brilliant. And though the Neptunes, Bloodshy & Avant, and Nate "Danja" Hills do their trippy, thumpy, raved-up thing successfully enough to make you think so, the brilliance isn't in the production only. The crackling "Radar" gets under your skin not just because of its club-ready beat, a familiar element on this disc, but also from Britney's deliberate vocal haze; here she is interpreting how she ought to sound against the heat of this track, and pretty skillfully--she goes for pure vibe, and she gets it. And while the words to the seemingly autobiographical "Piece of Me" are enough to pull you in themselves--here we get to hear Britney refer to herself as "Miss Bad Media Karma"--they get a little something extra from our girl's newly awakened sense of what makes a song flow; she has the good sense to squeal. Is she a credible role model? Certainly not. Is her music worth hitting, as the old song goes, one more time? Absolutely. --Tammy La Gorce

 okay ..... November 4, 2008
This is a cd that would be appreciated by the 20 something, club going crowd. If you're into partying and you've got a good buzz on...i could see how this cd would be right up your alley. it would get you pumped up before a night out...esp single girls. I guess when you're married with a a baby..its hard to relate to this kind of music. But...if I was tipsy..I know i'd love it. Its kind of got a Gwen Stefani vibe to it. A little techno and hip hop. Its not bad but, lyrics mentioning My Space and making out at clubs don't exactly pertain to me. I wouldn't even call it a good work out cd...her greatest hits is better for that. This is just hands down a good party cd...nothing more.
over done October 20, 2008
I would say this album was way over produced, I would rather hear the real Britney. Her sound is a whole lot better
 Much better with the Bonus Tracks!! September 30, 2008
I ordered this CD at amazon.com over 2 months ago. It never arrived. I got a refund. So I googled it to see where else I could find it. I bought at a ebay.com and received it recently. I gotta be honest with you. The standard version's alright. But it's not for me. I think the Japanese Version is a completed version. The original one runs 43:43. This one runs 60:45. I like all four of the bonus tracks. But my favorite is Get Back.
One of her best works and one of the best albums of 2007! September 22, 2008
This CD is perfect. Britney explores a kind of eletro music which she has never explored before. Also, the name of the album defines it all: BLACKOUT is all about blocking the bad energies and let only the good ones make it through!
The CD kicks off with the amazing and very catchy "Gimme More", the opening single. We can hear a sexy Britney groaning and provocating shivers with this uptempo beat.
Next we have "Piece of Me", that won 3 moonmans in the 2008 VMAs for its video, including "Video of the Year" category! Very eletronic song and a real answer to the inconvenient paparazzis.
"Radar" is the forth and last single (radio single), produced by Bloodshy & Avant, one of the best of the album. Starts with a noise imitating a radar and talks about a guy who Britney can't forget and is gonna get anyway.
The third single, "Break the Ice", is the hottest and most energic, different from the other things she's done, even though as danceable as always.
Not as good as the Demo version but still great, "Heaven On Earth" is one of the only slow songs in "Blackout", about how perfect the loved person is. Very romantic one.
The most eletronic and dirty song, "Get Naked (I Got a Plan)" is a little bit repetitive, but good to dance in a party.
The rythm and beats of "Freakshow" are just incredible! A shame it wasn't a single... Such a waste!
In "Toy Soldier" the beats imitate a march, and it has all an army style. Good song, but ends when it's getting better!
The Demo was horrible but this final version rocks: "Hot as Ice" is amazing, awesome song! Here she claims that she is cold as fire and hot as ice, a living legend! It's true Britney, and we know it better now!
"Ooh Ooh Baby" is the BEST. Everyone I know loves this song and got it stuck in their heads for weeks. VERY catchy, sexy and outrageous.
The one which is not as good as the rest is "Perfect Lover". It is the only Britney song I don't like, by the way.
"Why Should I Be Sad" is the other slower, and I wished so much it would enter the album and it did! Besides, it fit perfectly to close it (in the american version). Fortunately, in this japanese edition, we still have "Outta This World", such a cute love song! It should have made it to the american version.
This could have been a success if well-worked: "Get Back". Should have been the first song, too. Its beats are great, definitely a must in the dance clubs.
"Everybody" was way better in the Demo, but interesting for sure.
This "Paul Oakenfold" is the best "Gimme More" Remix, so good that it comes to close this japanese version of the most awaited album by the QUEEN of pop: Britney Spears.
I love this CD September 9, 2008
I love Britney Spears, and this is her best album. Honestly, you have to give it a chance. I am definitely sad that it wasnt as much of a commercial success as other albums (of hers), but it is worth checking out and certainly a great CD.
