Britney’s albums after Blackout have all been lackluster (opinion)

[bitbitboi]

WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE 

Seriously guys, stop with these threads with outrageous titles just for clickbait.

"Circus" is basically quintessential Britney, if you don't like it you're denying Britney's POP roots.
"Femme Fatale" is a banger from beginning to end, the kind of record any queer person would want at some point from a main pop girl, let alone the QUEEN.
"Britney Jean", the only weak link in her impeccable discography for obvious reasons, is not even half bad.
And "Glory"... Guys, I swear, I don't know if you are in your teens or are just new fans or whatever but trust me, this record is mature and a fantastic treat to get from her at this point in her career. If you don't like it or don't get it, give it a chance. Listen to it with time and concentration, read the lyrics while listening, maybe start from the end to the beginning to change it up a bit and get surprised. I'm so proud of Britney for having recorded that album.

I looooove Cirus and Femme Fatale, but I agree that they did not amount to the perfection that is Blackout.... Britney Jean was a joke ruined by the senseless production of Will.I.Am and off-putting vocals of Myah Marie. I love Glory, but it's one of my least favorite albums of hers.... 

[Theonetheonly]

I feel they played it safe after blackout and the creativity and pushing boundaries died - she takes a backseat now and is happy to do that.

If anything the albums before Blackout get too much praise because of the influence of the performances and overall eras. Stop hating on Circus, Femme Fatale and Glory. They're all amazing, especially Glory.

Lackluster doesn’t mean they are bad though, it just means the are missing something. A fire, a passion. All Britney’s albums are good. Blackout just has an energy and an attitude that it’s predecessors have not.

Agree, hope it doesn't make me a bad Britney fan but I feel the same. Although I would say for me BOMT through to, and including, Circus feel like the old Britney. I loved and still love Circus, there are some crappy tracks and it doesn't have a flow like other albums but there are some absolute classics. For me it's Femme Fatale onward that I'm a bit meh on. Not saying they're bad or I hate them or anything but they don't have the same energy. Obviously Glory was a huggge step up from Britney Jean and I liked it a lot, but just missing something that the first 6 albums have IMO.

not even Britney herself had that much involvement as fans fantasize 

It was basically Danja's team who crafted most of the songs and she just went and recorded them, like she's done with other albums 

She was the executive producer of blackout

I figure it’s because she was given the most creative freedom on Blackout. From what I can gather her team didn’t have much involvement in the record until after she recorded most of it.

 

She didn’t have no team, Larry was gone, Theresa Whites left halfway. Jive didn’t care anymore so basically it was up to her and she did that. Producers said she paid them out of pocket after the sessions.

I enjoy her albums post-blackout but I understand your point. That special touch has been gone since her life changed 

Yeah, the same. I prefer the “New Britney” music and Gimme more made me a fan fan, but I can see where he is coming from. During quarantine i listened to the whole Britney catalogue with her real voice and completely understand what he means by the “touch” reference. Even though there are times in the New songs where you are like “Oh there she is “ it is Just not there. And I m not talking about performing, Just the Music itself. 
 

LOVE Glory though! So much! Its after Blackout if not alongside with it. Feel like people dont understand the project. Its the closest with the “Britney touch” that we Have had in Years. There are lot of leaked stems out there and once you hear them you cant unhear them. 
 

And about the sound of Glory - we know that Brit is not Trendsetter anymore but she made a very fresh and for me so far timeless album with Glory - I listen to it to this day. I Have days When I Enjoy Just luv me, invitation, slumber party, mood ring, make me kind Of chill sound.

Then Im like Clumsy, Hard to forget ya, so you wanna Come over “partying” in my car :D 

And I also appreciate what she did with Private show, What you need and I love both of the songs (minus the voice and not the real instruments - would be much better and artsy fartsy).

And let’s not forget about Man on the moon, Change your mind (no seas Cortes), better and coupure electrique which are on of the best Britney post blackout songs!! 

[Rojo]

Omg, I was going to make the same thread about how all albums after Blackout are weak because she lost her creative freedom after Blackout. Circus was a transition. 

[WorkBishStan94]

I somewhat I agree with you. However, Glory and Femme Fatale are great pop records. Circus was definitely safe however I think she needed that at the time. It was a good “commercial pop” album. Yikes Britney Jean. Should’ve never happened. Point blank. They should have just released Work B as a stand alone or a new greatest hits.
