8 and 9 are pretty much even for me although obviously apples and oranges. Not bad albums per se but BJ lacks any identity/warmth (or any real Britney vox ) aside the odd flicker such as "Alien". Plenty of bops though, disposable as they are. BOMT obviously has a few towering highs with the singles but everything else has aged so poorly I rarely bother with it even though the songs are catchy and passable for their time. OIDIA does the same thing much better on the whole.

I guess I should give Britney another spin,

8. Baby

Technically Blackout is the better album I guess but I’m going by what I still listen to these days and that tends to be FF. I want more Max and Brit sugary pop bliss.

Also I didn’t realize how over I was In the Zone. Last time I properly listened to it must have been in the 00’s oop. It just hasn’t aged well at all for me. I Got That Boom Boom.

 

[Iguana]

What in the FRESH HELL is THIS?!

Like @Baby It’s Cold OutSynk said, it's aged about as well as Aaron Carter

 

[Sheena]

In The Zone is fucking tremendous. There was at least EIGHT singles on it. And yes, I include ME AGAINST THE MUSIC

It's just ME
[croak]And ME![/croak}
*PARP*

 

[Halli]

slightly OT but her next albam being her tenth and being free should be quite a moment

 

[Devil]

Like @Baby It’s Cold OutSynk said, it's aged about as well as Aaron Carter

I’m sorry but lies babe. As @Sheena said there is like a solid 8 singles on that bad boy. And I’m including ‘Showdown’, ‘I Got That Boom Boom’ and even ‘The Hook Up’ in that, let alone the obvi ‘Breathe On Me’ and ‘Touch Of My Hand’.

Even @funky the snowman liked it in his review of her albums (what a thread)

 

[Dark Carnival]

Glory deserves a bit more love.

 

[POP!]

I wish they released "Breathe on Me" outside the US and "Boom Boom" here as the fourth singles. She was really on a roll with back to back UK #1s for it to be kind of thrown away with the GH.

 

[POP!]

Glory deserves a bit more love.

It doesn't have the highs of Femme Fatale or Circus as far as the conservatorship era albums go, but there is plenty to love on it, and it really was marked improvement from Britney Jean. It kind of reminded me of the direction Selena went with Revival and would go with Raw.

 

[RJN]

Me Against the Music
I Got That Boom Boom
Showdown
Breathe on Me
Early Mornin'
Toxic
Outrageous
Touch of My Hand
The Hook Up
Shadow
Brave New World
Everytime

I bolded the ones I listen to regularly. So 8/12. Such a good album and anyone who doesn't see it (@All Iguana Xmas Is You and @Baby It’s Cold OutSynk) probably just don't want Britney to be free

[POP!]

"Don't Hang Up" is another favorite from the ITZ era, I love it. It's the grown woman energy she emulated in 2003.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Glory deserves a bit more love.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

BREATHE ON ME would have been an easy top 5 hit in the UK for her.

 

[Devil]

Oh easy. I would’ve thought ‘Boom Boom’ for the US and ‘Breathe on Me’ for the rest of world would’ve been the easy fourth singles. Given the terrible sales market and ‘Everytimes’ rather great sales for the time, I’d have said an easy fourth top three in the UK and even probably a top five for ‘Boom Boom’ if they’d mined it as the fifth in Britain.
