No surprises at the moment and I'd say the songs appearing so far are ones that appear at the bottom of my album rank too, but I feel all get too much of a hard time. I actually feel like 'Private Show' and 'Clumsy' actually work as part of the album and I'd in fact go as far as to say I like their placing on the album tracking-list. 'What You Need' is a brilliant album closer, especially but not only for the "well, that was fun!" at the end of the track.

 

'Better' remains my least favourite on the album and is probably the one track void of any Britney personality, so I'd prefer that to be next out. I don't understand why 'Just Like Me' is disliked so much; I can handle "one of the least favourites" but some seem to genuinely not like it. I'm sure it was well-received upon album release!

If 'Change Your Mind' doesn't at least come top 5 I'll be pissed.

15| 'Hard To Forget You' >> AVG. 7.09

 

 

Best Score: 10 | Rob Spears, Nick F1

Worst Score: 2 | blacksquare, London81

 

Possibly a little low for my taste, it was one of my least favourites when I first heard it, and I still think it possibly shouldn't be more than a deluxe track, but it's gone up in my estimations a lot. I particularly love the pre-pre-chrous part ('Oh, yeah, baby you got me misbehaving, and I don't even know what is right'). However, it's not a huge loss that it's this low - I'd never put it top 10 for example, but it's the first song with a 7 average so is generally liked here!

 

Also contains possible Gaga references.

No Liam! Just Like Me is dull as dishwater in comparison to Better, which is full of personality and flare!

OMG at that cover :o :wub:

HTFY is to low, as WYN ;(

Very pleased with the outcome of this so far!

'Hard To Forget Ya' is great.

 

On most of her other albums it would be a highlight but here it is around my 11th or 12th favourite so I can't really moan. So many good songs are going to have to sit at very low placings :(

I really need Just Like Me to leave before anything else now!!!

Ps - HTFY is a major grower, I adore it now. Solid 9/10.

I agree, it has Britney stamp on it but still it's just 8/10 for me.

14| 'Just Like Me' >> AVG. 7.28

 

 

Best Score: 11 | Regina,

Worst Score: 4 | Loucaé, Cremey

 

I'm not one of the best people for this commentary, as I find 'Just Like Me' to be totally flat, and I'd have this right at the bottom with 'What You Need', above Private Show. On this fabulous album, 14 is still too high for this, but Regina saves it with her generous score.

 

'Just Like Me' is so stunning! I really don't get why it gets hated on so much. I mean, I'd understand comments about it being the weakest on such a strong album, but there seems to be a lot of actual hate towards it, which baffles me. :lol:

I don't HATE it. It's not jarring like What You Need, I just find it offensively meh.

yes so happy to see that out.

 

As Joe said, i don't hate it but it just sticks out for being nothing!!!

Sticks out for being nothing?! :(

 

It's such a sad, dark and emotional song and something only Britney can pull off tbh! So beautifully heartbreaking!

13| 'Mood Ring' >> AVG. 7.67

 

 

Best Score: 10 | blacksquare, NickF1, Cremey, Euphorique

Worst Score: 2.5 | Joe.

 

Up next at #14 is the sensual and smooth DJ Mustard produced jam, 'Mood Ring'. 'Mood Ring' was delegated to "Japanese Deluxe Track" only. What I want to know is... WHY!? It's genuinely single material! If you think the sensual jams like 'Breathe On Me'/'Touch Of My Hand'/'Early Mornin'' from 'In The Zone' and bring them right up to date in 2016, I'm sure this is the closest you will get! This is just an "initial impression" rate. We'll be doing another rate of this in about 6 months or so, so you have plenty of time to listen to it, in the mean time!

 

omg yes Mood Ring...that cover :wub:

 

Thought this will end top 10 tbh.

Sticks out for being nothing?! :(

There is nothing dark on it or emotional for me lol...the song starts and ends in one note...even chorus doesn't help it.
