  • Britney has impeccable taste. She also fought for "Breathe On Me" to be a single but her dumbass record label was set on "Outrageous" since day 1

  • Not this sounding better than the rest of that album

    Britney and BT (guy who produced this song) had some kind of falling out and his songs ended up being excluded from the album. I’m glad Slave was the lead single but I do wish BTG had its moment to sh

Oh ****, I remember these. 'Britney' could've been on that same creative Britney caliber that 'In The Zone' and 'Blackout' are had the kookier stuff made it. 

The album was also made to be called "Shock Your Mind" apparently. 

Re-release the album as "Britney's Version" with Before the Goodbye for radio and add all the unreleased tracks + Intimidated mother :jonny3:

And remove Bombastic Love

I cant hate on Bombastic Love cause of the iconic intro to the Overprotected music video

I never get the appeal of I run Away 

 

These two immaculate bops

 

 

 

for what I read, they replaced both song when they decided to merged the Crossroads album and the Britney Album

When I Say So is such a banger!

 

Tell Me (Am I A Sinner) is more stale, but lyrics hit a bit harder. Almost seems like she's talking about JT

Cinderella  should’ve been a single instead of rock&Roll and Goodbye, IRA and When I say so should have been on standard edition.

i had to downvote for this slander of the best song on the album.

Don't like the title but I also don't like the fact they named it Britney either so. 

Maybe '"What It's Like to Be.......Me" would've worked better cause it'd tie in nicely with the other two albums at the time AND the 'me' from Overprotected before the beat kicks in.

Yes! Before The Goodbye is one of my favorite b-sides/bonus tracks along with I Run Away, Quicksand and Amnesia. 

I am also surprised these were downgraded to b-sides/bonus tracks as they all are single-worthy!

That would be a better title for sure. Or some lyric from a song on that album could work too. Like, "What's a Girl To Do" for example

I love this song, I play it a lot, but not some people acting like it deserved lead single status of IAS4U :rip: ATRL is really crazy sometimes. 

 

It's a cute 2001 bop that was rightfully left in that year

Who said that? I said it should've been a single over Boys or I Love Rock & Roll, and I stand by that.

 

This song sounded like nothing on american pop radio back in 2001/2. It would've slayed the European charts, that's for sure.

It would have been the perfect transition into her adult pop star career.

Britney did an interview and was quoted as saying his songs weren’t good enough to make the album, and BT confronted her about it and she told him she was misquoted and never said that :skull: So we’ll never know what actually happened, but I do feel bad for BT because  he was very complimentary towards her in that one Rolling Stone interview and was paid dust basically.

I doubt Britney would've said that considering she just revealed Before The Goodbye is her favorite song. More likely media spreading fake news like they always do

OT: Britney is a masterpiece album. It’s time we acknowledge that. The fact that her unreleased tracks were better than some of her peers’ singles :deadbanana:

I think it was a misunderstanding because her label really wanted more Crossroads and pop like Bombastic Love on it. I think she probably meant her label didn't think BT's tracks were good enough.
