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.

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

Trip or Up N Down to be out next please :P

 

I was right!!! :lol:

Oh no!! Only just seen this now, wasn't on Buzzjack much yesterday. :cry:

 

Is it too spammy to comment on each song so far in it's own post in a bid to up my post count? :kink:

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 thought about doing the same! :lol: I just commented on them in one post in the end

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

(Totally ok to comment on every song seperately, as long as they aren't just consisting of a heart emoji and a period. Lol)

Unfortunately, no. But! You are currently in the lead!

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.

I love Criminal, some days this is probably my favourite single :wub: 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

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.

Not a huge fan of Criminal, it's okay. Should never have been a single. Video is ok.

Criminal feels out of place on the album I think but it's a nice song. Definitely hasn't aged very well though :(

Criminal :wub:.

 

Oh wait I should add more than just emoticon and dot. :P

 

On serious note, me loves some Britney innocence pop song and this one falls into that category for me :wub:

This rate feels like a testament to how good Femme Fatale was. A song as good as 'Trip' only 9th is crazy. I have absolutely no idea what songs are left, by the way.

COMPLETELY SHOCKED & STOKED AT THIS DOING SO WELL! Such a BOP, and it seemed to be so under appreciated on here in the last rates for the album! BOOM BOOM BABY, PICK YOU UP IN MY MERCEDES. GONNA BE A LITTLE SHELL FISH!

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.
