    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Britney Jean is far from being Britney's most personal effort, the 10 songs on this album blatantly show that this was nothing but a promotional tool for her vegas residency, as none of these songs sound like Britney was even there to record them. However, its infectious melodies and hooks led me to come back for more and it has become her only album associated as a guilty pleasure, because though the songs are good, they are not sung by Britney in their entirety.… Expand

    This is by far Britney Spears’ best album. It’s personal, introspective and beautiful tracks like “Don’t Cry”, “Alien”, and “Passenger”, are where the album truly shines and radiates a mature, vulnerable Britney we aren’t used to seeing. But the album also perfectly keeps the quintessential Britney image that we all love with songs like the bold “Work **** and the sexy “Tik Tik Boom”.This is by far Britney Spears’ best album.

However, at times the album drifts off into generic and vapid tracks such as “It Should Be Easy” and “Body Ache”. But overall it is a great album and is my favorite she has ever done.

    “Britney Jean” is a solid album with a lot of Good songs
    She co-wrote every song so Even though the song is about dancing and fun she's behind the writing
    The best tracks are: Alien, Work **** and Perfume

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my least favorite album of Britney Spears. Why? Because in most songs, Britney doesn't even sing. Along with that, the production is mediocre to bad. Sure, I like some songs in the album like 'Perfume' and 'Don't Cry', but that doesn't mean that the rest of the album is good. Songs like 'Body Ache' have really aged badly and songs like 'Chillin With You' are just straight out bad on first listens. Even 'Alien' has a noticeable glitch in the middle and that is all in part of will.i.am's production. No wonder people hate on this album, it would've been way better if Britney was actually fully present on this album and the production hadn't been dated.… Expand

    As if it wasn´t bad enough to here a full album not being able to recognize the singer's voice, this is just a set of forgetable edm tracks, without a sense of meaning. It´s a big disappointment, especially after the powerful "Femme Fatale".

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After the dance inspired fun that was 'Femme Fatale', Britney released an album that was generally recognised as one of her weakest. In hindsight, there is alot to like on this album. 'Work B' is an addictive, throbbing banger with Spears speaking in a british accent. It was and still is weird and wonderful. Other tracks that stand out are 'Alien', 'Body Ache' and 'Tik Tik Boom', albiet a very questionable rap from T. I. Most other tracks are happy to stay in a certain lane that was similar to all music of that time. The production wasn't half pushing the envelope as her previous, nor her vocals (which have been speculated) didn't seem totally her. With mostly half hearted tracks and not much in lyrical content. It was definitely not a personal album, but there are fun moments to be had here.… Expand

    El MAYOR problema de este álbum es la horrible producción de las vocales de Britney, el álbum tiene buen sonido, pero la mayoría las canciones son planas u horribles y no transmiten nada, lo más rescatable de 'Britney Jean' es “Perfume”, siendo fácilmente la mejor canción de el álbum, también tiene otros temas buenos como “Alien”, “Work **** “Body Ache” y “Tik Tik Boom”, siendo lo másEl MAYOR problema de este álbum es la horrible producción de las vocales de Britney, el álbum tiene buen sonido, pero la mayoría las canciones son planas u horribles y no transmiten nada, lo más rescatable de 'Britney Jean' es “Perfume”, siendo fácilmente la mejor canción de el álbum, también tiene otros temas buenos como “Alien”, “Work **** “Body Ache” y “Tik Tik Boom”, siendo lo más rescatable, este es sin duda alguna el álbum más mediocre de Britney Spears.… Expand

    The best thing on this albums are the lyrics. Britney said that this is her most personal albums and the lyrics show us that.
    But the rest is bad. I can't believe that Britney Spears released this album. The typical will.i.am sound doesn't sound good on her, the album has glitches, and that mess with MM. Without a dount, Britney's worst album to the date.

    Is a great album!, very underrated, work **** is the better lead single, perfume is the perfect ballad, and alien is very slowly and perfect

    I'm really into Britney Jean era! Yeah, maybe autotune is too loud but except this? I see no bad things - vibe is everything.

    will.i.am should stay at least 20 feet away from Britney, some boring album with cookie cutter EDM beats falsely advertised as "personal" when Britney herself didn't even care about it.

    Simplemente PÉSIMO. El peor disco de Britney hasta ahora. Work **** es el peor de sus singles. Los visuales son terriblemente básicos. TERRIBLE de principio a fin!

    this album is a lot better than everyone made it out to be. yes, there are some holes, but overall this album is amazing. it may not "sound" like britney, but i can assure you that every song is a straight up banger. my top 3 songs include til its gone, alien, and body ache.

    Album has many dance jams ("Work **** "Til It's Gone", "Tik Tik Boom",...), but for me it's missing something, but I don't know what exactly.

    Britney Jean is heavily bad vocal produce by Anthony Preston and has a very bad generic sound thanks to will.i.am.
    Lyrics could be better, because the loneliness theme fits well with Britney, but it is like Britney left the album alone.
    Only good songs of the album: Alien (includes a glitch!), Perfume, Don't Cry and Hold On Tight. Passenger and Brightest Morning Star could be better.    Britney Jean is heavily bad vocal produce by Anthony Preston and has a very bad generic sound thanks to will.i.am.

    uma bomba eletrônica de péssima qualidade e mal produzida. Uma vergonha pra música pop, miss Britney se aposente logo.

    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.
