    talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, **** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it...

    This album sucks. it's still full of filler and try-hard songs! She should have stayed retired. "Witness" was so much better than this.

    Worst album I've had heard in my life. Clumsy is the worst, never heard anything worst than this song.

    It's Britney's best album in years, it does not beat Femme Fatale, but it's still pretty good. Pity that Britney let lose some good songs like Love Me Down, Change Your Mind, Liar, Just Luv Me ... really every song of the album deserved to be single, except for Private Show and What You Need, which are the worst of the album. 9/10

    Es un album en el que los sonidos son muy repetitivos, pero hay canciones que tienen una buna letra, otras que son muy bienas, y otras definitivamente que a mi parecer son realmente malas.

    Uno de sus mejores albumes sin duda alguna, de los mejores de su año sin duda alguna

    Este álbum é definitivamente o melhor de sua carreira, com a valorização de seus vocais e uma sonoridade muitos mais agradável do que a de seus antecessores, Glory prova que Britney Spears sabe realizar trabalhos de muita qualidade

    excelente album, es algo diferente a lo que estabamos acostrumbrados de ella, pero es muy experimental e innovador, tiene sonidos muy frescos y ambientales que te relajan cuando la escuchas, Britney Queen

    Still releasing the best pop music in the industry nearly 20 years after her debut. Nobody else has done that and nobody else will.

    Best album of Britney Spears, every track sounds perfect and unique.
    Moreover, we can hear an optimal mix between sound effects and Britney's real voice, and we all know how amazing is her voice!
    The only flaw is that the best tracks are located in the deluxe edition (Liar, Change your mind), but it doesn't matter! Welcome back, Britney!

    "Glory" is for sure one of the best albums Britney has ever released. We can understand the emotion and the feeling in all the songs. It has a more RnB vibe, though, there are some pretty good pop-dance tracks, such as "Do You Wanna Come Over?" and "Slumber Party". I was really surprised by the quality of the Deluxe Edition tracks, which are better than some of the Standard Edition ones."Glory" is for sure one of the best albums Britney has ever released.

I was really surprised by the quality of the Deluxe Edition tracks, which are better than some of the Standard Edition ones. The production here is incredible, the track-listing is on point ("Invitation" is a good opener and "Coupure Electrique" the perfect closer) and the vocals are better than ever, even though we can clearly hear the auto-tune in some tracks, which can be annoying. My personal favorites are "Change Your Mind", "Liar", "Coupure Electrique" and "Just Luv Me".

    A solid album, that with better promotion and a better song chosen as the lead single, it would have been a commercial success    … Expand

    While Britney may not write about political stances and deep opinions (hello from 1998: she never has), she still holds the record in being capable of making fun, dance-worthy pop. Britney's personal touch, aside from her ad-libs, is in the music itself. Much like "Britney", "In The Zone", and "Blackout", you can feel Britney's signature touch and her personal style throughout all of "Glory".

    Britney Spears showcased her voice very well on Glory. Glory is easily one of the best Britney album she has ever made. 2016 is definitely Britney and Glory's year and I think this album deserves more recognition.

    Britney Spears is back with her winning pop-perfection formula with standout songs like "Slumber Party", "Liar", "Love Me Down", "Man on the Moon" and "Change Your Mind". It is finally time to forget her "Pretty Girls" days and recognize her influence of a pop-star that never ages.

    She recovered very well of the Britney Jean era. GLORY is the saviour of pop in 2016 for me. People lose time comparing female artists albums, they forget BRITNEY SPEARS is a must listen to in the industry.

    This album makes me (ooh)... WOW! It's incredible, but very underrated by critics. There's a different sound, a sexier Spears, It creates a wonderful atmosphere, especially with Make Me... and Slumber Party. If she sponsored more the album instead of the Residency it would be a big popularity.

However, Although Spears may not be as relevant in the music scene in the sense that she is not starting twitter beefs with others and deterring her fans with her purposeful pop (cough cough Katy Perry), the songs on this album see Spears happier and in a better place creating the music that her fans have appreciated her for. Since this albums release, certain albums have been labelled as part of the Britney B***h trinity. These album are of course In The Zone (2003), Blackout (2007) and Glory (2016). Why? This is because these albums are the creme de la creme of her career. This album is probably her strongest comeback yet and thus implements her title of The Princess of Pop.… Expand

    En lo personal, no es el mejor álbum de Britney, ella pues haber hecho algo mejor. Los ritmos no tienen nada innovador y las letras son simples. No fue de mi agrado.

    So is Britney releasing another album really worth it? Absolutely. After the success of ‘Blackout’ and ‘Circus,’ and then the mediocre success of ‘Femme Fatale,’ there was a lot of pressure to be able to top those continuously with every album, and it’s unfortunate how one album saw a lot of people turn their backs on Britney.

After the success of ‘Blackout’ and ‘Circus,’ and then the mediocre success of ‘Femme Fatale,’ there was a lot of pressure to be able to top those continuously with every album, and it’s unfortunate how one album saw a lot of people turn their backs on Britney. It’s kind of the same situation with Lady Gaga when she released ‘ARTPOP’ the same year as Britney released ‘Britney Jean.’ The music business isn’t so much about the music these days, but more over who’s selling more, and who’s got the longest #1, and OK, ‘Britney Jean’ wasn’t the best album, but Britney has given us so much over the last decade and a bit, so I’m glad to see this album turning heads and making others question themselves as to whether it was right to turn on Britney in the first place. This album is quite the pop masterpiece, and of course it is too, as it only comes from the only reigning princess of pop. Britney Spears, again once showing the other girls how it’s done.… Expand

    This is certainly the most confident, creative and most hard-worked album since In The Zone or Blackout, two Pop gems.

'Invitation', that clearly is an invite to us, translates into a simply but softly romantic demand. Then we have some reggae in 'Slumber Party', having a mix of fun and a Oops... I Did it Again nostalgia with 'Clumsy', and a sexy latin dance with No Seas Cortés. An amazing track, featured in the Japonese's editions, 'Mood Ring', features a personal meaning to it's lyrics and a catchy sound. There are some sounds that didn't went along very well, like 'Private Show', although it deserves a credit for at least trying to create a unique sound. This album is everything that Pop needs right now, and a listen is extremely recommended.… Expand

    Sorry I can't handle she never sings live so I think It's useless to give even just a point (of 10) to her. I'd like too see really talented people making music instead of her..

    Although it marks no significant shift in style--she’s still mining the same pop-R&B seam--it’s undoubtedly a better effort than its predecessor.

    Like Britney herself, Glory is a fascinating if flawed listen--while she remains very much a singles artist, this is her most successful record in a while, and still contains glimpses of why she remains so compelling, 18 years into her career.

    Glory is no masterpiece, but it’s a marked improvement on 2013’s ‘Britney Jean’, a messy attempt to merge thumping EDM tunes with supposedly reflective midtempo songs.
