    This album seems to be very good, when you start playing the first track I really feel like an alien , a very good music , but in an album that is not even good. The second song for me and also good . Perfume then forget it . After that you get a drastic decline that began in the second song and rose slightly in the third and died from the fourth . The weakest point of this album and I canThis album seems to be very good, when you start playing the first track I really feel like an alien , a very good music , but in an album that is not even good. The second song for me and also good . Perfume then forget it . After that you get a drastic decline that began in the second song and rose slightly in the third and died from the fourth . The weakest point of this album and I can say that the production , Dirty Beats that hurt the whole body in the most violent way possible. In some letters we can indentificar and understand a little better the Britney on this album , maybe this is the highest point of the album . I believe that clean up the beat of some music and replace a 6 songs the better album . This album is not as bad, some songs make me not a negative average.… Expand

    Spears is an artist who has always had an incredible production team behind her, and before this record was released she had never had a bad album. Unfortunately, 'Britney Jean' fails where her other records have flourished.

Unfortunately, 'Britney Jean' fails where her other records have flourished. It is incredibly flawed, none of the tracks seem to piece together and though songs like 'Alien' and 'Work ****' are admittedly strong tracks alone, in the mish-mash production that runs throughout this record, they are lost gems. Other songs that stand out amongst the wreckage are 'Til It's Gone' and 'Passenger', these nod slightly towards the album fans and critics alike would certainly hope to hear from the pop icon; however as a whole the record just doesn't seem to work. There is no defending the low points of this album that come in the form of robotic, badly written hook-ups with will.i.am or the cringeworthy "duet" with Spears' sister Jamie Lynn. It does say a lot that a Britney album is still quite an exciting thing in this decade, however there is not much to get hyped about with this one.… Expand

    Very poppy and upbeat album from the 90s teen star Britney Spears. Full for energy, but unfortunately often it gets too too much with the bass, it takes over the song and it is tiring. Mixed emotions about this one.. The more I listen to the songs, the less I like them. The songs I actually can cope with is "Perfume", "Alien" and "Don't Cry". Generally: Not impressed.

    Raw emotion at its finest. Coming in strong with her 8th studio album, Britney Spears delivers some of her most uncut and personal songs to date. With heart throbbing ballads like "Perfume" and EDM anthems like "Work B**ch", this album is truly a showcase of the versatility of Ms. Spears. Britney Jean is arguably the best album of 2013.

    Quelle catastrophe! L'album se voulait être "le plus personnel de Britney" cependant on échappe pas à la mauvaise production de will.i.am qui fait de cet album qui s'annonçait bon, une répugnante copie de ses propres travaux. Le triplé It Should Be Easy, Tik Tik Boom & Body Ache en milieu d'album gâche le tout.

    Soulignons tout de fois la présence de Perfume, un titre qui met en avant la voix de Britney et qui est probablement le meilleur titre de la chanteuse depuis presque 10 ans. Coup de coeur également pour Don't Cry, Brightest Morning Star, Hold On Tight & Now That I Foud You.    … Expand

    One of the best Pop albuns of world. Don't follow the Britney Spears's genre, however, it's yet a great one. Work **** shows the best of the album. It's for sure, if you buy Britney Jean, you'll have no regret.

    Que es esto? De verdad, que tenga de puntuacion 50 es mucho, es un album terrible que no debio existir, solo se salvan (para mi) Alien, Work **** Perfume, Tik Tik Boom, Body Ache, Chillin' With You entre otras, pero de verdad, este album es pesimo, inclusive las que se salvan no son la gran cosa... Ms. Spears, nunca debiste lanzar esto uwu

    A bad album, never heard anything so bad in my life .
    Britney you lack talent to make good albums actually something you almost never met is talent.
    His album is less than virtually everything heard in my life , never will recover me an album so rubbish like that.
    I 'm ashamed to say that hearing this, I would rather be deaf than hear another bad job of these .

    Very mediocre album with very few above average songs. Favourites include Work **** Til Its Gone and It Should Be Easy.

    A mixed bag.

    Starts off really well with William Orbit's fantastic production and Britney's solid vocals on opening track, Alien. Lead single, Work **** packs a punch with its pounding beat and Britney doing her fun British accent. Next comes a Sia-penned ballad called Perfume, which is one of Britney's best ballads of all time. It Should Be Easy is awful with its dated production and    A mixed bag.

Next comes a Sia-penned ballad called Perfume, which is one of Britney's best ballads of all time. It Should Be Easy is awful with its dated production and featuring Executive Producer of the album, WillIAM. Tik Tik Boom is repetitive and not of Britney's normal standard - it should never have made the final cut. Body Ache has some fizz, but nothing spectacular. Til It's Gone is forgettable - another WillIAM mess. Passenger is a decent song, but should Britney really be recording Katy Perry's rejects? Surely she deserves better than that. A duet with her sister on Chillin' With You is one of the worst songs Britney has ever recorded. Don't Cry sounds like it belongs on a flop girl band's album. Brighest Morning Star is too sentimental and reminds me of the terrible song, My Baby, she recorded for the Circus album. Hold On Tight is boring and sounds like another Katy Perry reject. Now That I Found You is another mistake - a Eurovision-type song that probably wouldn't even win. A Perfume remix adds nothing to the album.

    Britney made a huge mistake spending so much time on her Vegas residency whilst recording this album in a rush and not caring about the low quality. WillIAM's production is - on the whole - bad. The song choices were not great. Maybe 3 or 4 tracks deserved to make the final cut - the rest is trash.    … Expand

    Unnecessary hate.
    At least not so much.
    The controversy of this album isn't solely on Britney, she was rebelling for her freedom and people should've supported her basic human rights.
    Still has good songs on it and..

    Unfortunately the wait was in vane... A poor album that show us a lazy Britney. She needs to get personal and let us remind that she's actually a good singer.

    Aunque ame a Britney debo decir que este album es el peor que ha podido sacar en toda su carrera, lo unico que me gusto de Britney Jean fueron sus singles (Perfume y Work B*tch) desde ahi el album no tiene nada bueno para ofrecer.

    The worst album of Britney, has good songs like Work **** Alien and Perfume. But the others are pretty bad.

    His weakest and most exhausting album so far, the only song to be saved is "Perfume" and "Work B ****". Britney does not innovate at all

    This album sucks. It has a short tracklist but it's still full of filler and try-hard songs! She should have stayed retired.

    The alien, blank dead-eyedness of Britney Jean is frightening, because it feels like it’s all will.i.am trusts Britney with.

    Play this album from start to finish and it’s hard not to feel that at the core of its cheaply gratifying genealogy is nothing but misery.

    Backed up by masters of electronica David Guetta, Diplo and Swedish House Mafia’s Sebastian Ingrosso, they all make sure to drop a storm of ugly, trite and utterly soulless EDM breakdowns and dubstep drops whenever they can.
