Music Review: Britney Spears - Circus - Page 2

What a crock. If you really cared about the fans, if you really cared about the music and people enjoying this album, you'd release one album with all the songs. That's it. I would think that with all the trouble Britney has gotten herself into, legally, financially and mentally, not to mention all the controversy which has no doubt led people to scoff at her, they would make it simple for people to buy and listen to her music. I must be wrong.

My favorite tracks on this album are "Phonography" which has a great dance beat and will have you thinking about hands-free devices in a whole new way. "Kill The Lights" is another good dance song which I really enjoy and both songs are very reminiscent of the type of sound you heard on Blackout. There's been a slow progression towards ultra-modern dance songs by Britney, and I think her previous album was the epitome of it all.

A slower but much better song from the rest of the pack is "Unusual You". It's sultry and really quite beautiful. If another dance track isn't released as the third single, I hope this gets some radio play. The song "Rock Me In," which was written by Lady GaGa, is only on the deluxe album but is incredibly worthy of being featured in a commercial as it's a fun and kid friendly song.

Apart from the confusion of which album consumers should by, Circus is a return to the old Britney who's just a young girl that's made it big in the music business. It's no Blackout but it's cute, fun, somewhat friendly album (except for "If U Seek Amy", that song is a giant pun for naughtiness) and I recommend it if you're a Britney fan. If anything, buy it for Brit as a birthday present. She turns 27 today.
