Blackout 95/100
Best Tracks Gimme More, Perfect Lover & Break The Ice
Blackout is truly a pop masterpiece.The LP is full of gritty & dark danceable dark urban pop tracks. This is her most innovative and influential work to date. The production of blackout hypnotizes you to get up and shake your ass. The bass in songs like "Gimme More" and "Perfect Lover" are so amazingly sexy & intoxicating. Hats of to Brit for making a brilliant album in the darkest period of her life

Blackout 95/100
Best Tracks Break The Ice, Freakshow, Get Naked
Blackout is an extremely critically underrated album. It wasn't given a chance by the public because of the problems she was having back then. But this album is full of well produced and crafted songs with dance beats that just want to make you dance. It truly innovated the way pop music is today. "Freakshow" is built around the wobbler effect that dubstep uses & was among the first uses of dubstep/pop in mainstream music & the foundation for Britney's full dubstep incorporation in her 2011 single "Hold It Against Me" which in turn inspired many of the dubstep breakdowns we hear now on pop radio. All the sounds on the album still sound current to what's on radio today. Not one song on the album is boring. It is overall a cohesive electro pop gem full of urban inspired club banging beats.

Blackout
90 / 100
Top tracks: "Piece of me" , "Why should I be sad?", "Freakshow"
Blackout remains as Spears' most creative and innovative album yet, nearly a perfect Electropop record, it features influences of urban, dance, and dubset. As well serving as culture to Strippers, Anime world, and Club bangers. Its weird and unusual production is a highlight of the album usually involving and interpolating masculine vocals with Spears vocals on most songs, Despite Ironic, trashy, changeling, enthusiastic, sexy and party lyrics the album sets a Dark mood/vibe contradictory to the light-hearted lyrics which causes an interesing combination. The album is ballanced and Cohesive, "Gimme More" serves as the opening track of the album which is thought to be a song about sex turns out to be a song about fame and exposure as well as spears relation with the media, "Piece of me" the best track of the album offers and innovative one of a kind stellar production, the bizarre but impecable track is composed as Britney unapologetic mediatic anthem, "Freakshow" co-written by Spears serves as one of the most bizarre and creative tracks she has ever recorded. Spears served as the Excecutive producer of "Blackout". This brilliant album could be called an Electropop masterpiece, and deserves all the praise.

Though I disagree about your top 3 tracks, good review. Solid score, not really inflated or biased. (I think I gave Blackout an 85).

thanks
Well I think everyone is going to disagree with the top tracks..... because there are so many good tracks on the album that is so hard to choose..... to be honest I struggled choosing only 3 tracks.

Blackout:
This album came in one of the worst stages from Britney's career in the middle of the breakdown she came with this brilliant album. With heavy european dance vibes and some r&b elements that makes you think about her previous effort : In The Zone. This album includes some references of Britney life as Piece Of Me, Why Should I Be Sad?, Gimme More. The single are definitely some of the standouts from the album and actually the first single has because in such an iconic, who hasn't listened: It's Britney Bitch! Even thought some tracks weren't written by Britney, she made an excellent job as executive producer. The album is great however it got overshadowed by the personal issues that our Pop Princess was going through. It's without a doubt one of her best works to date and one of the best album from past decade.
Standouts: Gimme More, Piece of Me & Get Naked
Score: 90/100
KATY PERRY - LANA DEL REY - NELLY FURTADO
RIHANNA - ADELE

Blackout
59/100
Top Tracks: Gimme More, Radar, Freakshow
I don't really like the album, but it has some nice tunes. The singles are decent, but album fillers include quite a number of mediocre songs. The "It's Britney, bitch" line is iconic. Her lack of vocal capability is more than made up for by the magnificent production.
All in all, a good dance album.

Can I do a review for previous album?
The Fame Monster
42/100
Top tracks: Bad Romance, Alejandro, Telephone
TFM era has offered us some of the more interesting music videos in recent years. Music-wise, not my favorite album, although Bad Romance was one of the most interesting track of 2009. The album is hardly original or great, yet Gaga always finds a way to bring excitement to her music, and I like her for that.
I kinda wished it was a full album instead of an EP. That way, the album could have given much better than it actually does.
Nice dance album to listen to, nonetheless.
