    Monótono, cero reinvención, música plástica y sin contenido, el disco es HORRIBLE!

    I wanted to like this album, but I cannot. There are a few songs I like such as "Make Me..." and "Man on the Moon," but the rest I cannot tolerate.

    One word to describe this album is euphoric. This is Britney at her best. The style and vibe of this album are different from her previous work, but they are just as good as the music she made at her peak.

    Producer Mischke is probably going to be very much in demand after creating one of the best pop albums of the year. Despite some tracks that try too hard ('Private Show', 'What You Need'), the album is full of hooks and unexpectedly good vocals. It's not controlled by EDM, R&B, or pop.

    Pop veteran, Britney Spears, delivered an album that her fans been waiting for, a worthy follow-up to the one/two punch that were "In The Zone" and "Blackout." Britney got back to her bread and butter, tongue-in-cheek sultry tracks with R&B and Pop infused sound to them.

    One of the best albums by her in a very long time. It feels like Britney's more involved this time around. I really think she deserves more recognition.

    Her most cohesive album to date, it's a rare pop gem. After "Britney Jean" and the misfire that was, I thought Britney's career was over. Boy, did she prove me wrong. Returning with this bob, filled with great songs, such as "Love Me Down", "Make Me" and the haunting "Coupure Electrique", she's clearly here to rule.

After "Britney Jean" and the misfire that was, I thought Britney's career was over. Boy, did she prove me wrong. Returning with this bob, filled with great songs, such as "Love Me Down", "Make Me" and the haunting "Coupure Electrique", she's clearly here to rule. Sounding more involved and happy than ever, she seems to have been responsible for every single phase of this album's creation. She blends R & B with pop and sometimes EDM and it's beyond any doubt that she does it really really well. Also, it's probably her only album to not include any filler-songs. Almost everything here could be huge. From the retro heaven "Slumber Party" to the aggressively fantastic "Liar". Furthermore , her voice is incredibly genuine here and almost not processed at all. She's done huge progress and it's only fitting that we applaud her for that. The only issue is that the bonus tracks are so good that it seems sad they aren't part of the standard edition. It's club-friendly, it's modern, it's everything fans could have expected and more. It's like a lovechild to "Blackout" and "In The Zone", her other two best albums. Probably the best pop album of 2016 so far, it's so addictive. A must of this year! She really defied my expectations.… Expand

    Um dos melhores álbuns pop desse ano e tbm da própria. O ponto negativo e a falta de identidade do disco., o conceito ficou vazio. Algumas musicas são insuportáveis

    Melhor e mais maduro album de sua carreira, assim como o melhor album pop de 2016, musicas como "invititation", "if im dancing" e "coupure electrique mostrar que Britney continua sendo uma cama-leoa do pop.

    I really liked the whole album. It feels like she has put a lot of effort into it and I'm really looking forward to seeing her having fun on the stage again!

    Britney Spears nos surpreendeu com o melhor álbum POP de 2016.
    Desde o "Backout" não ouvíamos um álbum tão delicioso e glorioso como este.
    Destaques para "Liar, Slumb Party, Change Your Mind (No Seas Cortes) e What You Need".
    Um disco que todos deveriam valorizar...

    This album lacks soul and glory itself. Almost every song on it gives me the feeling that all miss Spears wants to do at the end of her career is "singing" in Vegas, raising children and putting out some intended-to-be-trendy songs that sound like her back vocalists actually sing them (or maybe that's the point actually).

    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.

    It's a great album, her songs are good for listening to them in parties and in the own house. These songs give the sensation that she was working hard for this album.

    This album makes me happy. After Britney Jean's flop, Britney's on the right track for pop domination (again) with this album. Really inspired by the new pop, great producers. For me, Britney's there to make me dance, I ask nothing more from her, and she's delivering with this "In the zone" inspired album.

    Шедевр, произведение искусства, творение Господа, эталон звучания поп-музыки текущего десятилетия, образец для подражания. Альбом вдохновляет юных дарований на последующую работу в музыкальной сфере, что не может не радовать.

    Britney é uma grande artista e ela deixa isso claro em GLORY, suas musicas com ritmos diferentes que se encaixam perfeitamente umas as outras, com certeza ela conseguiu a GLÓRIA.

    I'm really surprised by Britney's work on this album, wasn't expecting all the experimental sounds that goes perfect with her voice that she is actually using now, her fans have been asking for something like this and finally it seems like she did it, sex is obviously the motor of this album and i'm not complaining, we can hear a more mature Britney

    Glory is one of her best albums yet. Ever since 'Blackout', the gleaming EDM beats captures her energy she displays in the album. I consider this to be her reboot, her actual comeback to music ever since 2007.

    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

    I think this album IS good but it feels a little overrated by her fans and pop music fans. But it's underrated for the gp. Too Bad 'cause this is Britney's best album since Blackout

    Sinceramente Glory es un álbum que a la primera escucha, no te gusta y lo quitas en la canción 4, pero después empieza a engancharte hasta que te vuelves adicto a el, es uno de los mejores álbumes de Ms. Spears

    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.
