Posted by: Cremey 10th August 2016, 10:33 PM

'Till the World Ends' has to walk this, surely? Can't think what else would have an average of above 10!
Maybe 'I Wanna Go' or 'He About to Lose Me'? Preferably the latter...

Posted by: Tyler 10th August 2016, 10:46 PM

THE WINNER OF THE PRE-ORDER FOR GLORY IS JOSEPHSTYLES

QUOTE(JosephOdell @ Jun 14 2016, 12:21 PM) *
This is actually my second EVER listen to this album ohmy.gif first time since 2011 drama.gif so these will almost be like first impressions to me, for the non-singles!

10.0 Till The World Ends
This still just grows and grows on me strangely! It's such a huge banger and it ends up stuck in my head now. "Keep on dancing till the world ends" is my fave part.

11.0 Hold It Against Me
I remember when this got released almost OA/OS in the UK, it was pretty much unheard of at the time it seemed and it was all over the entertainment news from what I recall! Felt a real sense of excitement about it. I remember downloading it on iTunes too, pretty great memories of this song wub.gif That's what gets it the 11 over Till The World Ends, which I normally find quite hard to separate from this!

10.0 Inside Out
omg YES I am absolutely loving this, I don't remember it at all but that chorus is really great!! Think I'll be revisiting this a bit.

09.5 I Wanna Go
I love the pure joy of this song, the whistling is addictive and not irritating like it can be in many other tracks (looking at you, Maroon 5). Plus I will forever think of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1oGtuIhGLw iconic performance now. If radio got on board with this in the UK, I have no doubt that it would've been a huge smash, incredibly infectious and the UK public seem to love a song with whistling laugh.gif

05.0 How I Roll
Not enjoying this as much as I'd like on first listen, it's got parts I enjoy like the "bum bum bum ba da dee" etc. parts but the male sounding voice is a big no-no, feels a little bit tacky sad.gif

09.0 (Drop Dead) Beautiful [Ft. Sabi]
Loving this chorus, I imagine it would sound incredible in a club setting too! Think this could've made quite a good single actually, surely would've at least charted top 200 in the UK unlike Criminal drama.gif Sabi's part compliments the rest perfectly too I think.

08.5 Seal It With A Kiss
Another strong chorus, although unlike the previous track, I think I'm glad this one remained an album track because I don't think it could've done any better than what we got. It's a very solid album track though, starting to wonder why I never revisited this album after my first listen sad.gif

08.0 Big Fat Bass [Ft. Will.I.Am.]
I think this one may end up as a grower? It's fun and I like it a fair amount but compared to the two before it, in fact, I'm not really sure if I can compare it, they're very different lol. I do like will.i.am normally though and his rap is just as shit as usual and therefore iconic *_* Apparently this was used during S Club 7's comeback tour while they changed between songs at one point laugh.gif Pity I wasn't able to recognise it at the time lol. Having said all that, I ended up bumping it up from 7 to 8 by the end because it will be the album track I remember the most I'm sure, so job done I guess? laugh.gif

07.0 Trouble For Me
Solid album track, it's pretty good, but probably my 2nd least favourite so far. The intro music reminds me slightly of Meghan Trainor's Me Too laugh.gif

09.0 Trip To Your Heart
Liking this one a lot, feels like a nice change of pace after all the bangers we've had so far, but still in-keeping with the dance-pop sound rather than a casual piano ballad in the middle or something haha. A track I'll be returning to a lot I'm sure!

08.5 Gasoline
I wasn't too sure at first but I was positively bopping to that chorus by the end *.*

09.0 Criminal
I feel like this song gets a bit of a hard time in singles rates, it's always been one that stood out from this album for me, sure it's not one of her best ever but amongst her other singles, it stands out in a good way. Her vocals are pretty solid on it too. However, it's not one I've gone back to much recently, and in terms of the flow of the album, it does stick out quite a bit, so it doesn't get the 10 it would've had a while ago.

07.0 Up n' Down
I'm very familiar with this intro purely because of it always starting once I've listened to Criminal laugh.gif The song isn't bad but I think other songs do this kinda thing better on the album for me.

06.0 He About To Lose Me
I prefer the verses to the chorus in this one, the verses feel like they're leading to a much better chorus. Assuming it's not her singing that part either because it sounds nothing like her although I could be wrong! heehee.gif

09.0 Selfish
Really liking this, best bonus track of them all for me. Incredibly infectious chorus and solid production, think it should've been on the standard instead of something like Trouble For Me which is more average.

07.5 Don't Keep Me Waiting
Quite enjoying this and I like the fact it's something slightly different and less dancey than the rest of the album but it's not left a massive mark on me other than "enjoyable".

08.0 Scary
First ever listen for this one! Definitely think it was worthy of at least international deluxe status instead of any of the above four bar Selfish. Pretty great song!

Sorry the comments aren't that perceptive throughout, maybe it'd be better if I were more familiar with it all heehee.gif It will not be 5 years until my next listen though I can assure you!!! Really enjoyed the entire album, just further emphasises that I need to spend time getting familiar with all of her albums.

You don't deserve it for the hate you gave 'How I Roll' thoughhhh... mad.gif

(Joseph, pm me your email when you get a chance. Can I gift to other countries? Is that a dumb question? Poor me. Congrats again!)

17. SCARY
TOTAL POINTS: 96 // AVERAGE SCORE:6.00



WELL, I didn't expect this to come last! I thought it was a fan favorite on here! Anyways, 'Scary' is an extended bonus track on 'Femme Fatale's release in Japan and a few other exclusive markets. 'Scary' was written by Britney Spears, Fraser T. Smith and Kasia Livingston. This track, while not the best on the album, is still an incredible pop moment for the album. The production is a nod to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller', but it hasn't seemed to THRILL Buzzjack (ok bye).

It's very telling how strong of an album 'Femme Fatale' is when you consider that THIS is the worst out of 17 pieces (BJ's rate had 13 songs and the last average was barely a 4.00 :') ). Hopefully 'Glory' will take that route instead of the 'Brenda Joan' train to falling off the charts and puzzling critics. Bless ha, poor Brenda.

Posted by: Jonjo 11th August 2016, 12:05 AM

'Scary' is SO under appreciated. I blame this entirely on people not really being as familiar with it as the rest of the album though. So I kinda expected it. But seriously peeps, show it more love wub.gif

Posted by: Addy K!ng 11th August 2016, 12:22 AM

Yay congrats Joseph

Posted by: Tyler 11th August 2016, 12:33 AM

16. Big Fat Bass (Ft. Will.I.Am)
TOTAL POINTS: 98 // AVERAGE SCORE: 6.125



LET ME ASK A QUESTION. WHY ARE YALL HATING ON MY GO TO DRUNK AF SONG AND LIKING "IT SHOULD BE FLOPPING EASY? Oh wait that came in last on the BJ rate. And I guess was one of the first singles to go out of her discography. LOL, oh yeah we all just detest Will.U.Not. Props to the Britney stans on exhale saying they would find his house and beat him up if he ever even looked at Britney Spears again, to the point he blocked almost 50 members in 2013. Lmfao, and y'all think I'm crazy! (I organized it)

Big Fat Bass is actually a great track if you take it for face value, a party stomper that makes you want to twerk like a crackhead when it comes on at 2am in the club. SUCH a stomper that you stumbled into that club without paying, because you're on the way to the taxi and no amount of mates can stop a drunk 6'5 tower of MESS that acts like a 4 year old at a toys r us, anytime Britney comes on. (Unless it's pretty girls, we don't know her).

IMMA STOP. #justiceforthwonlygoodthingwilldidwithbritney)

AND DO NOT MAKE ME GIF YOU AGAIN, BAL.

Posted by: Addy K!ng 11th August 2016, 01:05 AM

Oh no...i love BFB

Posted by: JosephStyles 11th August 2016, 01:12 AM

I have a soft spot for will.i.am jams tbh and this is no different :')

Posted by: Jonjo 11th August 2016, 01:31 AM

'Big Fat Bass' did not deserve to be so far down! It should've been top 10. I'm actually kinda surprised it's as low as it is tbh. I know we're not fans of will.i.am, but this is such a TUNE. Deserves much more love. </3

Posted by: Tyler 11th August 2016, 02:40 AM

ATTENTION: Apparently iTunes doesn't allow you to gift pre-orders. Since that is the case, I will be gifting Joseph 'Clumsy' at midnight. He will be gifted 'Glory' (DELUXE VERSION) as soon as it's available to buy/gift.

THE RUNNER UP (Out of whoever posts the most out of; Oliver, John James, HausofKubrick or Rob Spears.) will be gifted the STANDARD version of the album as soon as it's released. If a poster that didn't write a commentary doubles the highest count out of our star commentators post count, they will win your copy of 'Glory' instead, (just in case y'all flop on me. And don't worry, spam posts will not be counted). The runner up will ALSO be gifted next weeks autograt!

If you have any questions ask in here! If you have ALREADY PRE-ORDERED 'GLORY' PLEASE LET ME KNOWN ASAP!

Posted by: Rob Spears 11th August 2016, 05:25 AM

I've already pre-ordered Tyler. Don't worry about me! biggrin.gif

15.DON'T KEEP ME WAITING
TOTAL POINTS: 100.5 // AVERAGE SCORE:



This is what I want to hear when someone says Britney meets rock. This track seems to get overlooked by a lot of fans and I think that's mostly because it sounds like nothing on the rest of the album. When Britney first started recording 'Femme Fatale' she wanted a more rock and pop grit style in her music. This idea got cancelled because her label found it to risky. Tracks such as 'Don't Keep Me Waiting', 'Inside Out', 'Trip To Your Heart', 'Trouble For Me' and 'Gasoline' are an example of the type of sound she was aiming for. The only single Britney had a hand in picking out of the first three singles was 'Till The World Ends'.

"Don't Keep Me Waiting" is an underrated track by fans because it wanders out of her normal realm of music.

14.(DROP DEAD) BEAUTIFUL (FT. SABI)
TOTAL POINTS: 110 // AVERAGE SCORE: 6.875


(Everyone take a second and realize 34 year old Britney is killing Britney in her twenties).

I can't even listen to this song in peace without thinking of Bal.

http://s1373.photobucket.com/user/tylaaah1/media/9B1BAA6C-1F0E-4BA8-9AE4-5881144A64C6_zpsgsoye7ej.gif.html

Song would be great without a rap talking about some damned steamed vegetables. Delete Sabi and this would BE the single choice after 'IWG'. I edited the song to not include Sabi. I'd be embarrassed to let them hear Sabi's last cry for relevance.

Posted by: Joe. 11th August 2016, 08:44 AM

Gosh I really don't like any of the songs to leave so far.

Posted by: Cremey 11th August 2016, 08:57 AM

Congrats Joseph!

Can't believe Big Fat Bass is so low 😭 I knew some people didn't like it but didn't know it was that unpopular! It's one of the besttt.

y'all better get ready for the kick drum~

(The other ones out so far are horrendous, so no complaints at those going!)

Posted by: Addy K!ng 11th August 2016, 03:29 PM

DKMW right where it should be...I like the production but that's about it.

Beautiful though deserved couple of places higher!!

Posted by: Tyler 11th August 2016, 04:48 PM

13.HOW I ROLL
TOTAL POINTS: 110.5 // AVERAGE SCORE:6.906



BUM BUM BUM - BUDAH BIDAH BUM. 'How I Roll', a track produced by an iconic Britney staple, Bloodshy & Avant, leaves us WAY to early in this rate. The breezy production is accentuated with classic Britney ad-libs, which easily make it the most eccentric bop on the album. While the theme of the album stays on a pretty centered sound, songs like 'How I Roll' and 'Inside Out' help to break the monotony between electro pop club bangers. I'd also go as far to say, that this sounds like the most fun track on the album, when it comes to Brit's personality.

Posted by: Addy K!ng 11th August 2016, 04:51 PM

this one deffo deserved a top 10 placing...what up with BJ?!!

Posted by: Jonjo 11th August 2016, 05:04 PM

'How I Roll' eliminated already???? BUZZJACK. WTH? Come on sad.gif

Posted by: Joe. 11th August 2016, 05:28 PM

Nooooooo

Posted by: Tyler 11th August 2016, 06:16 PM

Posted by: Tyler 11th August 2016, 06:33 PM

STILL RECOVERING EMOTIONALLY, TBH. :')

12. TROUBLE FOR ME
TOTAL POINTS: 112 // AVERAGE SCORE: 7.00



"You know I can make your night, you wanna get it? You got something that I like, but I might regret it". LOL this is basically Britney's theme song for all of her exes. They are all trouble (aka shit, ok Justin has some great music but screw him, TBH) for her. This song on the album kinda marks where the album takes more of a rock-tinged change of pace, which brought us some delightful moments like 'Gasoline', 'Shellfish", "HATLM", "DKMW", etc.

This track is amazing in the versus and bridge, but the chorus leaves something to be desired. Regardless, this song carries it's own, adding identity, not filler, in an already unmistakably great pop album.

Posted by: Tyler 11th August 2016, 06:37 PM

PS- Have you guys noticed how much 'Me Too' by Meghan Trainor is a total copycat of 'Trouble For Me'??

Discuss.

Posted by: Addy K!ng 11th August 2016, 06:48 PM

Sorry!! Had no idea this had started! Congrats to JosephStyles biggrin.gif

Scary did NOT deserve to come last! Great song which should have been on the standard tracklist, it's better than a handful of songs

Big Fat Bass is awful laugh.gif Definitely my least favourite on the album. Such a deserved position. Thank god Glory has not been touched by will.u.not

Don't Keep Me Waiting is a nice song, it's always a nice surprise when Britney experiments with a more pop/rock sound

(Drop Dead) Beautiful is a nice album track. Should have got Kesha on instead of Sabi laugh.gif

How I Roll is a bop. Very K-Pop! Kinda lower than I would have expected.

Respectable position for Trouble For Me, a strong album track but nothing more for me

11.SEAL IT WITH A KISS
TOTAL POINTS: 116.5 // AVERAGE SCORE: 7.281



What a bop! 'Seal It With A Kiss' continues the lead singles promising use of watered down dubstep, which is the best kind of dub step. What really makes this track so great is the use of Britney's "oooh hoooo's" throughs the verses and a chorus that shines as an absolute moment on the album. "Say you're just a friend, I'm a little liar. When we play pretend, body is on fire!", Britney coo's over a chilled but pumping bass line. Absolutely love the lyrics in this song and the breakdown is the essence of a Summer jam. If this track was on 'Britney Jean' it would have made the top 4, easily. Lol.

Posted by: John-James 11th August 2016, 08:42 PM

Tuneeeeee!

Those "ah hah"'s are brilliant! The bridge is a masterpiece

Posted by: Umi 11th August 2016, 08:44 PM

'Don't Keep Me Waiting' is kinda cool. Chorus is a bit lazy (still like the second half, though!) but the middle 8 is really fabulous and the production is more intricate than you might expect. The new element added to the second verse is really great too.

'Trouble For Me' kinda creeps me out, though. Ever since someone told me you could relate the lyrics to her relationship with alcohol I've found it a kinda disturbing ode to her breakdown.

"Me and you were a disaster
And you're only a danger to me
But the party ain't the same without you
That's why you're so good for everybody else
But you're trouble for me"

I know it's just a generic song about a guy who's bad for her but that part is so vague about it, it makes me uncomfortable.


'Seal It With A Kiss' is a top 5 on the album! Probably 10/10.

Oh, I'm incredibly happy about this. But I don't like how far 'Criminal' has gotten, just because it was a single sad.gif It's so... beige in comparison to everything else on the album. </3

'Inside Out' is nowhere near my favourite (in fact I think it's bottom 3!) but I grew to appreciate it (although I disagree with it's top 10 finish ph34r.gif)

Posted by: JosephStyles 11th August 2016, 10:26 PM

That is a pretty good top 10 actually!

My review of He About To Lose Me wasn't *too* glowing at the time but apart from the singles, it's probably the one that's stuck with me, I can remember the chorus so well!

I'm going to reveal up to #8 tonight. #7- #5 tomorrow. And the final 4 on Saturday. Want to have this done by Sunday at the latest to not interfere with the video rate.

We will be doing the 'Circus' album next. As Bal and a couple of others have been begging for it since before the 'Brenda Joan' rate back in late Spring. Hopefully after that we will have had the proper amount of time to fully digest 'Glory', but, never do a rate the same week an album comes out. Stans are blind for at least 24 hours. Fact.

10. UP N' DOWN
TOTAL POINTS: 118.5 // ABERAGE SCORE: 7.406



If you told me 'Up n' Down' would be beaten by 'Selfish' and 'He About To Lose Me' out of the 5 bonus tracks I'd laugh at you and say "I wish". With that being said, it still beats serious fan favorites like 'Seal It With A Kiss' and even the almost fourth single '(Drop Dead) Beautiful'. Noticeably enough this track was the only bonus track to reach the top ten on iTunes in the US, the week 'Femme Fatale' released. It even outpeaked 'I Wanna Go', which hit #7 on iTunes while UnD hit the top 5 and stayed in the top ten for 3+ days. (HIAM and TTWE contained the top 2 spots).

While a solid song and an amazing bonus track. I feel this bassy throwback to the more mature moments of the 'Britney' album, is finishing right where it should be. (Well, just switch out TTYH with SIWAK).

Posted by: Addy K!ng 12th August 2016, 05:31 AM

I loved this since day 1 and never understood why it ended up as bonus track!!

09. TRIP TO YOUR HEART
TOTAL POINTS: 119.5 // AVERAGE SCORE: 7.468



POOR BRAVE 'Trip To Your Heart', FINALLY MAKES THE TOP TEN. We have done two rates before this for 'Femme Fatale' and poor brave Jonathan and ha influence, TBH :') . I used to loathe this track, it was one of the TWO Britney songs I loathed. And though I still think it's a less blessed cousin of 'Heaven On Earth', I have come to enjoy this dreamy ballad. My biggest dislike is Britney's jarring vocals from an overdose of vocoder in the verses. BUT, then that chorus warmly rushes over you and even though Britney seems barely present besides that shining chorus, it's still a track worth while. It's not my favorite, but I understand the love around it. Now, if Britney recorded that TODAY, with her refound passion, I'm sure it would be a 10/10 moment.

Posted by: John-James 12th August 2016, 07:49 AM

Trip To Your Heart is nice but I find it a bit Radio Disney

Up N Down is very catchy but probably my least fave out of the deluxe tracks

It's strange because Up N Down sounded so current in the UK at the time. There were loads of songs in the charts that were using samples of old dance tracks & it just fit right in. I think if they'd have realised that and released that over here rather than I Wanna Go, she'd have had another hit.

I don't really blame them for still releasing I Wanna Go here to be honest. I remember thinking that still could have been a hit even after TTWE didn't see much success here compared to the rest of the world. I will say that them picking Criminal for the UK instead was a sillier decision as much as I love that song

08. CRIMINAL
TOTAL POINTS: 122 POINTS // AVERAGE SCORE: 7.625



Here we have our first single casualty, 'Criminal' was the fourth single lifted from the album and though it's the worst ranking it single, it still lands safely at a very respectable position of #8. 'Criminal' marked Britney's first ballad release since 'Everytime' (unless we are counting Rob Spears' favorite video of all time 'Someday (I Will Understand) ). The single failed to set much of anything ablaze chart wise, but was still a nice change in pace from her usual high energy up tempos.

This song was a clear fan favorite upon release, but, it has probably aged the worst in conparison to the rest of the album. Still a shining moment on the album. Serving us some renaissance flute teas for ha peasants after being SLAYED by such a terrific pop album.

Posted by: John-James 12th August 2016, 02:27 PM

I love Criminal, some days this is probably my favourite single wub.gif It was a strange decision though, I think there were other songs on the album which probably would have been easier to make a hit single

Posted by: Tyler 12th August 2016, 02:32 PM

Especially since she was still killing it in the USA/ South America.

If 'Inside Out' were picked it would have done great in the States (at least top 20). That sound is basically what is huge on the radio today, really ahead of its time.

Posted by: Joe. 12th August 2016, 02:33 PM

10/10 production, that electric guitar layered with the chorus is heavenly and you haters will deal.with.it. Even though I ADORE 'HATLM', I'd say this is definitely my favorite bonus track! I would say it should have replaced a certain song on the album... But, I really think the whole standard listing is great! Selfish & HATLM should be standard tracks 13 & 14, and you guys obviously feel the same! Three cheers for a collective great taste in music, peeps.

6.INSIDE OUT
TOTAL POINTS: 129 // AVG SCORE: 8.062



THE BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM AFTER 'TTWE' AND YOU WILL DEAL. 'Inside Out' was a track produced by the brilliant, Billboard and is my favorite album track from Britney since 'In The Zone' (hello Breathe On Me + Touch of My Hand), UNLESS we are allowed to count 'Amnesia'. This song breaks up the constant pop bangers and provides a nice change from the dance floor noise, along with Trip and HATLM. Bow down.

05. HE ABOUT TO LOSE ME
139 POINTS // AVG SCORE: 8.687

'He About To Lose Me' is one of several bonus tracks off Britney's 7th studio album, 'Femme Fatale'. This beautiful stripped down ballad is quite a change in pace in comparison to the rest of the album. Britney sings about a lover basically not fulfilling her needs emotionally and physically and it makes for quite a haunting contribution to the icons list of stunning slow jams. The track pulls a similar vocal layout to 'Early Mornin' as we see Britney not pulling the heavy lifting in the songs chorus. This may be a bit off putting to some fans, but I think it works extremely well as a final product. The song received great reviews from critics, non fans and even the pop icon, Kylie Minogue, citing the track as her favorite song on the album.

04. I WANNA GO
TOTAL POINTS: 140 // AVG SCORE: 8.750



SHAME ON ME! 'I Wanna Go' was the third single lifted off 'Femme Fatale', and outside of most European markets, marked another smash hit for the undisputed princess of pop. The song peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became her biggest radio hit of her career, peaking at #1 on pop radio and top 5 on the overall radio chart. This was pretty remarkable considering the only promotion she did for the single was the music video (featured above). It should also be noted that 'Femme Fatale' is her only album to produce 3 top ten hits on the Billboard charts. Slay a bit.

03. HOLD IT AGAINST ME
TOTAL POINTS: 141 // AVERAGE SCORE: 8.812




Where do I begin with this? The song which kick started the FF campaign! 'Hold It Against Me' was your standard, trend setting pop song! Not too many people were brave enough to delve into dubstep and bring it together with mainstream pop. But Britney did, and boy... isn't the result just, magnifique??? Taking your generic EDM pop banger and meshing it together and infusing it with dubstep was an interesting move for pop music in general at the time

But ofc, controversy struck the Britney camp when Bellamy Brothers criticised the song for being similar to their song 'If I Said I want Your Body Now' but Luke, Martin, McKee and Billboard threatened to sue for defamation and libel but the case was ruled out when the Bellamy Brothers apologised.

But enough of that and back to the song. I don't care that many people don't rank this quite as high as I do, but I absolutely love this and it's my 3rd fave on the album behind 'Trip' and 'How I Roll' (yes I prefer it to TTWE!!)! So it's positioning in this rate is perfect for me. The video is also underrated nowadays.

02. GASOLINE
TOTAL POINTS: 144 // AVERAGE SCORE: 9.000



Well, well, well, Buzzjack has made what seemed to be an overlooked album track (in comparison to 'Inside Out' or 'He About To Lose Me') and proven it to be the most popular song on the album, outside of the anthemic and life changing, 'Till The World Ends'. The guitar driven pop jam was produced by Dr. Luke & Blanco and many fans quote the song as being very reminiscent of 'Toxic'.

Gasoline was used in a November 2012 commercial for Spears's perfume "Fantasy Twist". Giving the fan favorite an amazing visual to match the music.

01. TILL THE WORLD ENDS
TOTAL POINTS: 146.5 // AVERAGE SCORE: 9.156



"Till the World Ends" is a song recorded by American singer Britney Spears for her seventh studio album, Femme Fatale (2011). It was written by Kesha Sebert, Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald, Alexander Kronlund, and Max Martin. Gottwald, Martin and Billboard produced the song, while vocal production was handled by Emily Wright. "Till the World Ends" is an uptempo dance-pop and electropop song with an electro beat. It opens with sirens, and has elements of trance and Eurodance. The song features a chant-like chorus, and lyrics in which Spears sings about dancing until the end of the world. "Till the World Ends" received comparisons to past hits by artists like Kesha and Enrique Iglesias. Some music critics deemed it a catchy dance track and complimenting its anthemic nature.

"Till the World Ends" was treated with different remixes, most notably the Femme Fatale Remix, featuring rapper Nicki Minaj and Kesha, which was released on April 25, 2011. The remix adds a rap by Minaj at the beginning, new vocals by Kesha, and a dubstep breakdown. The Femme Fatale Remix received positive reviews from critics, with most complimenting the diversity of the group and Minaj's rap. "Till the World Ends" charted on the top-ten in several major music markets, including Australia, France, Ireland, New Zealand, Sweden and Switzerland. The Femme Fatale Remix propelled the single to the top five on the Canadian Hot 100 and the US Billboard Hot 100. However, "Till the World Ends" became her second lowest peaking single in the United Kingdom (cuz they dumb).

Britney also used the SMASHA to help promote "Twister: Dance Beat". Where she surprisingly looks more into it, than the actual video.

QUOTE
07.5 Till The World Ends

Great Party track gets you up in the mood, its very Kesha-esque but Britney does make it her own. However like most Kesha penned tracks it does get quite tiresome after about 10 listens. The production is on point in places but patchy in some.

10.0 Hold It Against Me

Well it was the first single for a reason the breakdown still KILLS me not even kidding this is EPIC pop and it was so succesful for a reason tongue.gif Still cant get over the breakdown and the killer beats and her voice. The slow chorus works amazingly well its so cohesive.

11.0 Inside Out

This song is Hot. Its just brilliant, its a real mid tempo but you could bust some serious moves with it. Production is flawless and I love the vocal distortion in the chorus. Apparently, Make Me sounds like this which is great news if its true!

08.0 I Wanna Go

Production is kind of generic but it such feel good song and although I haven't heard it in a club, I can imagine it being incredible! Such a strong catchy chorus. Also love the video, F** YOU, F*** YOU!

09.0 How I Roll

Very K-POP, always remind me of like Bubble Pop or something similar. I loved the snippet of this when it first came out and I still love the full song. Its so slick and the production is amazing! So many things going on at once but still blending as one into a cohesive sound.

08.0 (Drop Dead) Beautiful

I was never sure on this one at first to be honest but I have grown to really like it over the years. Sabi's verse (or should I say Kesha) is actually not that bad. Thee chorus after the drop dead bit is epic an enjoyable one at that.

07.0 Seal It With A Kiss

Not amazing like some of the other songs on the album but very enjoyable nevertheless. I love the "Uh Uh Ooohhhh"s in the chorus and the "Ah Hah"'s throughout the song are probably my favourite parts. Slightly generic chorus but it has a strong melody meaning it becomes quite addictive.

01.0 Big Fat Bass

I honestly hate this song. I have a very love-hate relationship with will.u.not to begin with but this song is dire. I guess if it was a solo song then it would be listenable but I can't stand the distortion that will.i.am places on his vocals. So annoying!

06.5 Trouble For Me

The instrumental to this day has reminded me of something but I still can't think what it is. It's a good song and quite a different to the other songs on the album. If i'm honest, it's one of the weaker songs on the album because it lacks a strong melody for me and the melody that is has feels really forced and awkward.

06.0 Trip To Your Heart

Always reminded me of Heaven On Earth this one which is a good thing. I love the transition from the verse and chorus but I find the chorus slightly disappointing and weak. It's very childish, almost like it was from a nursery song or something laugh.gif Maybe it's the instrumental which is like a triangle or something similar.

10.0 Gasoline

I can't believe this was never a single! Such a waste! This song is incredible, such a powerful chorus with an incredible catchy melody and powerful beat. I love the almost grit-like vocals during the chorus and then the heavenly high notes. Even the verses are catchy! Love it!

10.0 Criminal

I actually think this was a good single but I can't say I'm surprised it never set the charts on fire. It's almost chill and laid back and thats what I like about it. Lyrically, I quite like the song, I guess a lot of people can relate laugh.gif The chorus is quite infection for a song that doesn't have a powerful beat or rhythm.

05.5 Up n' Down

Never really got this one, I've noticed a lot of people love this and wanted it to be a single but it's a fairly average song to me. The chorus is catchy but it irritates me that it's not sung entirely by Britney and instead is this random males voice. It's quite repetitive and I get bored of it quickly.

09.0 He About To Lose Me

Now this is good song! There is something about the way she sings in the chorus but I absolutely love it! (Probably because it's not Britney! laugh.gif ) The verses are nearly as catchy as the chorus who those "Ah eh eh eh" at the end of each line.

9.0 Selfish

I can never decide between this or HATLM as to which is my favourite deluxe track. Now first let's talk about that intro! Already epic! I love the La La La's during the verses, I'm always a sucker for those. The guitar during the chorus is probably my favourite part of the whole song, love it! The chorus is infectious, just can't help getting the melody stuck in your head.

07.0 Don't Keep Me Waiting

I appreciate that she tried something different with this song and kind of went more Rock-Pop but I prefer a lot of the other tracks frankly. I must admit that the pre-chrous is incredible and honestly one of my favourite parts on the album. The vocals during the chorus also remind of Britney/ITZ which I appreciate. Also when I'm impatient I can use this song to make a reference which I always enjoy doing hah! tongue.gif

Best possible winner out of the two, for sure! I really like 'Gasoline', but don't particularly love it. TTWE is a complete and utter banger though wub.gif

Congrats John-James cheer.gif

TTWE is pure magic. One of my favourite all time Britney tracks.

I could see it being a 6. Maybe 5ish since there is so much (unnecessary) hate for 'Private Show'.

Aww that's lovely, well done Joseph! (love your handwriting, Jonjo *.*)

You guys are amazing.


But death at How I Roll's position. Absolutely gutted I couldn't take take part.

Posted by: Euphorique 7th September 2016, 04:57 PM

Did I not vote for this? Ugh! I hate missing rates

He About To Lose Me is my favorite anyway, and Til The World Ends is a deserving winner!
