December 15, 201311 yr the album is kinda one big ode to herself which is sad, but at least now she's not overhyped anymore.
December 15, 201311 yr XO will be the Mirrors of this album as a commercial force. Watch this space. Edited December 15, 201311 yr by ★ G R I F F ★
December 15, 201311 yr The way people react to it has put me off in all honesty. I think I would like her so much more if people didn't act as if she was Jesus or something .... God, I know! It's even worse on Twitter as well. :arrr:
December 15, 201311 yr Surely Britney's fans are the worst though?! I mean COME AWN get some perspective
December 15, 201311 yr Not really, I have barely seen anyone mention Britney lately apart from on here!
December 15, 201311 yr She hadn't made a good album until 4 (which was still a massive meh) but this is just NEXT LEVEL innit. I've been waiting for one of the big pop ladies to have their Ray of Light moment. Beysus etc.
December 15, 201311 yr Erm I think you meant to say B'Day is her 2nd best album tho? x she's been slowly LOSING the quality since then and then BAM. Murdering everyone on Friday 13th~
December 15, 201311 yr Glad they are releasing a physical format. Just 5 days and see if this is worth the buzz :)
December 15, 201311 yr Great album. I'm shocked that she pulled this kind of release strategy, but I definitely think it'll be worth it in the long run. I just really hope I get tickets to the O2 next year!
December 15, 201311 yr I'm hopefully seeing her at the O2 next year as well. I think tickets go on sale tomorrow?
December 15, 201311 yr With the exception of about 5 songs (XO, Blow, Grown Woman, Rocket, Pretty Hurts) I found the album pretty boring. I'll listen again, of course, but it's not really catching my appeal at the moment.
December 16, 201311 yr just on my first listen now. up until a few years ago i detested her. this record is pretty much going to cement my love. what a turn around.
December 16, 201311 yr 09 | Pretty Hurts 09 | Haunted 10 | Drunk In Love (feat. Jay Z) 09 | Blow 08 | No Angel 10 | Partition 08| Jealous 07 | Rocket 09 | Mine (feat. Drake) 11 | XO 09 | Flawless (feat. Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche) 10 | Superpower (feat. Frank Ocean) 09 | Heaven 09 | Blue (feat. Blue Ivy) Absolutely incredible. I need to work out if ARTPOP or this is my album of the year using AVERAGES. Edited December 16, 201311 yr by ★ G R I F F ★
December 16, 201311 yr My only criticism is that it should have been released in the summer where quite a lot of the songs remind me of that particular season. Edited December 16, 201311 yr by ★ G R I F F ★
December 16, 201311 yr In places this album gives me Erotica/Janet. teas. Which is quite clearly a very good thing. "Jealous" is everything. I'm just jealous. I'm just human. Don't judge me. EVERYTHING. Also 550-600k sold from Friday to Sunday in the US.
December 16, 201311 yr the album is kinda one big ode to herself which is sad, but at least now she's not overhyped anymore. I so agree with this! I barely like any of the singles she's released (I dislike almost all of them) but this album is something else!!. 'Pretty Hurts' is awful but I'm glad it's the opener so I can skip it right away.
December 16, 201311 yr Continuing to grow EVEN more. So amazing I feel I need to update my rate.. Pretty Hurts - 8.5 Haunted - 10.0 Drunk In Love - 8.0 Blow - 9.0 No Angel - 7.0 Partition - 11.0 Jealous - 8.0 Rocket - 9.0 Mine - 9.0 XO - 10.0 ***Flawless - 8.5 Superpower - 9.0 Heaven - 8.5 Blue - 7.0 Crazy good.
December 16, 201311 yr i think those thinking that the hype is off-putting is being a bit contrary considering most of the year we have to sit through the same attitude thrown at every other album going. the fact that this has attracted people from all sorts of demographics shows that surely it will be a good listen???? you don't get rave reviews for nothing! and tbh asking for a full good (nay, GREAT) album of cohesive work from one of the big pop divas these days is a VERY big ask, so when it comes along we're gonna grab it with our hands and place it firmly on the pedestal. it is what it is.
December 16, 201311 yr 10 Pretty Hurts 10 Haunted 10 Drunk in Love 09 Blow 08 No Angel 10 Partition 09 Jealous 07 Rocket 08 Mine 10 XO 08 Flawless 09 Superpower 08 Heaven 07 Blue Now I love most of her past singles like everyone else (Halo, Irreplaceable, Crazy In Love etc) but this really is her best album as a whole for me. So pleased that is seems as though XO is going to be the lead single for this era. Smash waiting to happen! Edited December 16, 201311 yr by .MIKE.
