    GLORY, as everything Britney has ever released, is innovative and just proves how the legendary princess of pop doesn't need to follow any hype or trends - she creates her own.

    amazing, so fresh, smart and relentless, her voice sounds better than ever, man on the moon is such an epic song, the violins makes me so emotional. liar and if i'm dancing are dancefloor anthem. if you mixed in the zone, blackout and femme fatale the result is glory

    Album of the year. Lemonade who? It's Glory, **** People won't take Britney seriously as much as Beyonka but only because Britney is just being herself, a strong, sexy woman who just being fun and flirtatious. She doesn't need to fake about cheating husband just to create a story for the whole album. She's not interested to talk about some politics stuff, female empowerment whatsoever -Album of the year. Lemonade who? It's Glory, **** People won't take Britney seriously as much as Beyonka but only because Britney is just being herself, a strong, sexy woman who just being fun and flirtatious. She doesn't need to fake about cheating husband just to create a story for the whole album. She's not interested to talk about some politics stuff, female empowerment whatsoever - she just want an album which general public can forget about all the stuff for a while and enjoy her music and dance with her!

    My fave tracks off the album are Make Me... (feat. G Eazy), Slumber Party,Love Me Down,Man On The Moon,Just Love Me and Do You Wanna Come Over. The whole standard album is just so good, you just cannot pick your favourite! There's zero filler on the album! Shockingly, the tracks on the deluxe are beyond amazing! Change Your Mind, Liar, If I'm Dancing, Coupure Electrique should definitely be on the standard version!    … Expand

    This is the best album of the year. You can see that album has been creating really long, not like Britney Jean and anyway this is new sound for Ms. Spears. Anyone would find minimum 2-3 song for himself.

    What a great album! The best way to take away the bad taste of "Britney Jean" is present this great album . Britney is more present than ever in this modern production , the standard version should cover all 17 songs . Coupure Électrique is sublime.

    Glory is finally here and it's the best thing from Britney in many years. The album is very different sound-wise, Britney vocals are in the right spot and were very well explored. The songs range from club-bangers to soft tracks, caressing the ears. Glory is a great piece of art.

    Perfeito, um dos melhores álbuns de 2016, se não o melhor do gênero pop.
    Realmente Britney soube se sobressair do seu Britney Jean que não foi muito bem aceito.
    Mas realmente ela se superou.    … Expand

    Melhor álbum da Britney desde o In The Zone!
    Inesperadamente, a sua voz está limpa, clara e perfeitamente sexy e nós podemos sentir a Britney "de antes" novamente entre nós, sentir a emoção dela no estúdio e não apenas alguém que realizou a gravação.
    "Ela fez de novo" e nos deu essa maravilha!
    Com certeza, o melhor álbum de música pop de 2016.

    I love the diversity in musical style that this album has! There's standard pop tracks (Man On The Moon), spanish influence (Change your mind),there's electronica (If I'm Dancing), there's soul (What You Need), there's tropical house (Love me down, Better), there's mid tempo pop RnB (Like Just Luv Me and Make Me), there's Reggae influence (Slumber Party, Love Me Down), Country (Liar),I love the diversity in musical style that this album has!

    Without a doubt the best pop record released this year. The album is extremely cohesive yet each track has its own unique flare and power. Britney sings masterfully on each track with backing vocals, falsettos, ad-libs and more. The lyrics are flashy and entertaining for the most part while also incorporating heartfelt themes in tracks like "Man On The Moon", "Invitation", "Just Like Me",Without a doubt the best pop record released this year.

Not only is it a wonderful pop record, it's a pop record with substance. It's a pop record that's distinctly Britney in a very good way. This album will definitely remain one of the best releases of the year and the best pop release this year. It's fun, it's meaningful, it can be sad and it can also make you dance and scream your lungs out. Britney is back and this album proves why she'll always be that ****… Expand

    This is Briney returning to her prime. We haven't seen an album this good from Britney since Circus. Femme Fatale was way too overprocessed and Britney Jean lacked a solid production, and it turned into a disaster. With Glory, Britney is cool and confident, and her vocals really shine through at points on this album, unlike previous LP's.

    Without a doubt, the best album of Britney Spears' career, in which the Princess of Pop bets on new sonorities, stepping on a terrreno fleeing the pop mainstream, but who can captivate everyone. Deserves Album Grammy Awards the year without a doubt!

    It's a good album. Britney helps composing 7 songs and runs away from the usual pop singers that are completely feminist, socialist and fundamentalist. Britney wants to sound just like Britney this good joke to make music.

    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.
