WeatherBOI Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I've held this opinion for a while, it always struck me that there was something that made Break the Ice better I played it in my high school's gym once during a game of kickball and it ramped up the game, so maybe that's some bias lol. What do you guys think? Link to comment
Roxxy Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 It's not. It could be though. But the mastering of Break the Ice is not good. Even with The Singles Collection remastering - it's still not polished enough. Toxic's production is far superior and with the new remastered version, it sounds smoother. They really did a good job with The Singles Collection. Link to comment

But thanks for saying this! I do think it's overrated and I honestly don't get why people are living for it. It's not a bad song but it's certainly not one of her best. Not even in the Top 10, if you ask me. Link to comment
Fenixxx123 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I kind of agree with you Link to comment

S0ggyBiscuit Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I agree, I'm glad someone had the courage to acknowledge this... Link to comment
Barmy86 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Negative. Toxic is a masterpiece I think it’s her most played recurrent song. Even now it sounds fresh. Link to comment
HardToForgetYa Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I think some of the fans are ""tired"" of Toxic because it is so huge that even today it's everywhere (not everyone can achieve that) but i personally love both songs, so i can't pick one Link to comment
Super Mods Puppy Posted February 18, 2020 Super Mods Share Posted February 18, 2020 I listen to Break the ice more but I can still appreciate Toxic. Link to comment
MissSpearsSaysSo Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I remember hearing BTI on radio. It sounds amazing and fresh every time. Link to comment
Avatar Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Break The Ice didnt really get a far shot, with not having a music video and Jive not supporting Britney at all during the time. She didn't want it to be a single if I remember correctly? Hot as Ice was meant to be the 3rd single...also why BTI was ignored up until POM Residency. And I also prefer BTI to Toxic . Some of you never had to play "In The Zone" on repeat for four years until Blackout was released and it shows. Link to comment
jordeezy river red Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Why didn't they bring the beat back after the breakdown?? Like... The song is epic and they just kill it at the end. Pisses me off. I prefer the demo. Link to comment

You're right. I wasn't. I was listening to Britney because I stan. I only really reconnected with In The Zone a few months before Blackout was released cause I was preparing/conditioning myself for the comeback. I overplayed Blackout already to the point that it's even more sickening to me than if I listen to Toxic. But even without all of that, I still think Toxic is better than Break the Ice. ❤ Also, love your avatar. I mean, yes I love Avatar - the show and that is why I love your avatar. Haha!

Britney was played out for 6 years at that point for me I actually let myself not play out Blackout, it's still slightly fresh for me besides the singles (I skip Piece of Me most of the time). Toxic is a better song that BTI. It just lost its allure for me. I overplayed it before it was even chosen as a single. Link to comment
Roxxy Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 @Avatar Taste! ❤ I only played In The Zone for about a month or two after it came out I was just 14 at the time so it was hard for me to connect with the sound. That's why I stuck with Britney throughout the entire breakdown. I only really started appreciating and connecting with In The Zone in 2006 cause I was already 17 at the time and ****** awakening and all that sh-t. You skip Piece of Me??? Omg! I also feel the same way but with Radar! That was the one song I played on repeat for about the entire gap between Blackout and Womanizer. I even had RadarRoxxy as my username in a gaming forum I was on at the time because I stan. Link to comment
redacted statement Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I agree. However, I've been enjoying "Toxic" more and more as of late. My feelings towards it used to be pretty lukewarm, but these days I'm kinda lovin' it. Still... I don't get why so many old threads keep getting bumped. Link to comment
