People who think Glory is Britney's 'baby' are the same who think Britney Jean is 'her most personal record'

[MyAccountGotBanned]

Glory was just the record label chasing trends. It was great. Solid album. I don’t think Britney had more influence than say Femme Fatale or whatever …

 

Britney Jean I think was more Jamie Spears and was more lyrically Britney than any other album. Full of lullaby simple lyrics that lacked a bridge

Agreed! And I LOVE glory!  BUT.. she even said in an interview that she named it glory because she was tired of recording the album and her son said to her that it would be a glorious day when it was over! Even if she did like a lot of the songs ect... I don't think she enjoys the process. Not like she used to anyways..

You’re being a bit dramatic, she said on the set of Make Me that she wasn’t happy with her previous album and wanted to be more hands on with her upcoming one. She said in interviews how it was fun getting to record all the heel walking and clapping. I’ve recorded sound effects like that before and it is fun so can definitely see her enjoying the process, her voice sounds alive in the recordings compared to Femme Fatale. Also if you know Britney well, she listens to a lot of mid tempo music. She even said she is inspired by a lot of Sade so when the album is so chill, it makes sense.
 

it’s not like she didn’t have good days during these past few decades, Britney worked hard on this album and she was proud of it, you can hear her feel comfortable talking about it. She got to belt out and utilize different vocals. I think it’s a slap in the face to disregard all that just because it’s released during Jamie Spears’s reign.

To me, it is a good pop album but it definitely isnt her best or in my top 5. It's too monotonous to me, it has too many slow/mid tempo tracks which Britney will never sing 100% live so what is the point of that? It's better for her to focus on her strenght and release more upbeat songs she can perform on stage and give it a more appropriate treatment. 

Ofc, it's a step up if we consider her previous work (BJ) her involvement was obvious but she kinda got late to the tropical tribal sound trend. I don’t mind if she follows trends or not, as long as she embraces it at it's 100%, the album was totally ignored and left out by the 1st month after its release. 

Looking at it in perspective, it was a good work and we dont have to like everything she does, at least, it brings variety in her discography as a whole.

I don’t really listen to these two albums... I do love Invitation and Man On The Moon though... that’s it. 

[.:Circus:.]

Yeah, I don't like Britney Jean very much. I used to though! I remember her twitter account followed me after Britney Jean came out and replied asking me what my favorite song was. I said Tik Tik Boom at the time... I now know that album was mostly not her singing though, and the tweet to me prob wasn't her... it was still fun being a naive 15 year old and not knowing

Oh bull****. The truth is: it seems that after she spoke most of you act like she hadn't had a good day in 13 years. Yes, it's pretty much obvious that most of it was a ******* nightmare but she did looked "happy" and like she was enjoying herself during the Glory Era. It's pretty much obvious that through out the conservatorship she was controlled and **** but from BJ we can see that she didn't promote anything and during Glory she genuilly seemed to be liking to give interviews and performing some places outside of Vegas. 
IMO this "freedom" and "creative control" they gave her during Glory is what made her to feel something like freedom again that made her want to start fighting again.

Britney fans need to gather it up and acknowledge that nobody outside of the fandom enjoyed this album as much since you did not lie at all OP

that's an unfair reasoning, because under that logic, then she enjoyed more making FF or Circus, just because they had more commercial success "outside of the fandom", which I'd find harder to believe

She definitely did not enjoy recording FF since everything the team was doing was against her wishes and interests. However, I still feel that Circus was the last album besides Glory that she enjoyed recording. I am literally not tripping because I once read an interview where she called Circus 'her baby' and since then, I have never been able to find that interview.

Whereas to your point, I didn't mean that Glory enjoyed little commercial success due to people outside of the fandom disliking it. But if you go to polls of general pop culture forums in threads which ask 'Which Britney Album Is Your Favorite?", most of the polls have Glory has some of the least voted ones. There was also a thread on another forum asking if Glory was a good album for Britney to finish her discography (due to rumors of her retiring) and most of them said no and called the album, a record full of Selena rejects like the OP said. Besides fans and critics, I don't think the GP enjoy this record as much.

I like it, but i miss r and b britney

[Peter Pan]

I don’t really listen to BJ with the exception of Don’t Cry. I’ve never heard her talk passionately about this album. I listened to it in full the other day just to see if my mind had changed. But I’m sorry this album is really really bad. 

However I have heard her talk passionately about Glory. I like when she did a track by track commentary as well. I believe she does like (parts) of the album. She was obviously really into DYWTCO. I mean it’s no Blackout or ITZ but it’s a solid album IMO. Best out of the conservatorship era.

Yall really going to start turning on everything that she did post 2008? Really? This is not it

But them being good or bad, successful or not has nothing to do with how Britney feels about them. BJ could've very well been her most personal album at the time, and Glory "her baby" at the time even if nowadays she might feel different.

I don't recall Britney talking that fondly about Circus, despite those short interviews and FF she did mostly magazine publications, describing it just like a fun record, and praising Max and Dr Luke etc.

I did not come here to be attacked 😂

So Britney was lying ? 

 

She seem real excited about the album & label it her baby. I don’t think it was force upon her, but I guess we will never know 

[Prince Ali]

To be honest I think she really liked Glory.. just cross check interviews from BJ era to the ones from Glory era you can see how more passionate she was towards Glory.. she might not had input to ALL the tracks but for me, the passion for Glory was felt throughout the album.. 

she overall felt more happy in 2016, so maybe creating Glory was part of it? 

 

[Moscow]

Well, I think BJ is completely forgotten by the GP and also by fans - I can't believe her team put this under her Discography but to be honest I love Glory - yes not like ITZ or Blackout or even Britney but I do listen to it occasionally especially the new songs like Mood ring and Matches - I also feel she had control over this album but yes Britney if comes back needs to shape up! She's not a regular pop star she is MF Britney Spears! 

[Cherry Bomb]

Private Show & What You Need are worse than BJ IMO...Just Like Me can go as well. other than that it's a solid album for me.

[3Pney]

Imo glory is one of her best albums. Its on my top 3 with ITZ and Blackout.

 

Looks like im the only one who really likes this album
