THE WINNER OF THE PRE-ORDER FOR GLORY IS JOSEPHSTYLES

 

This is actually my second EVER listen to this album :o first time since 2011 :drama: 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: 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 this 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 :lol:

 

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 :(

 

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: 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 :(

 

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 :lol: 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? :lol:

 

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 :lol:

 

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 :lol: 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:

 

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: 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.

CONGRATULATIONS. ( We couldn't decide between Joseph, Oliver, John James and Bal so we used random.org :') )

 

I WILL PICK A SECOND WINNER OUT OF THE OTHER 3 THAT POST THE MOST DURING THE RESULTS!)

omg!!! No way! Thank you so much guys :o I really enjoyed commenting on the album as I listened through and I am really thrilled to be the winner, especially in such an incredibly tough field. Well done to everyone else and best of luck for the second prize!! Ahhhhhhh :wub:

Congrats Joseph!

 

And congrats and good luck to the runners up!

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

 

Seriously though, congrats! It was a really hard choice. We almost put all of you in random.org, but I think it was better we actually did some work and dwindled it down! :lol:

Thank you guys :wub: :wub:

(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.

'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:

Yay congrats Joseph

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.

Oh no...i love BFB

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

'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

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!

I've already pre-ordered Tyler. Don't worry about me! :D

Ok thanks! Just wanted you to know we appreciate you taking the time to write a review, and just being an amazing regular. :heart:

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.

Aww Tyler, it's a pleasure.

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.

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.

Edited August 11, 20168 yr by Tyler

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

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!)
