Goddamnit, this is my website and I'll talk about Britney whenever I want.
On November 18 2003, my childhood sweetheart Britney Spears released her fourth studio album, entitled "In The Zone".
For those of you out there who are not very familiar with me (be very thankful, trust me...), I have a genuine appreciation for Britney's talents. No, contrary to popular belief, that's not just some wordy way of saying "I'd do her" after wiping drool off of my face. I can recognise and respect the skill and production values shown in her albums. Really.
Perhaps if there is enough interest, I'll explain my reasons in more detail at a later date but that's beyond the scope of this update. Here are some of my initial thoughts on In The Zone after maybe 3-4 complete listens:
- The album has less sugar-coated pop than her previous three, leaning more towards club-friendly beats, often bordering on hip-hop. I don't like this.
- Despite the dance/clubby majority, there are still some melodic compositions worthy of her former producer/songwriter, Max Martin. Particularily songs like Showdown & Toxic. I like this.
- Britney co-wrote 7 of the 13 songs on the album. She's still got a way to go, but her song writing skills are developing nicely...
- Madonna, you stupid talentless hack: Leave poor Britney alone and go back to writing children's books. You're a bad influence, Madonna, and I don't like you.
- Max Martin: Britney apologises for whatever she did to you to piss you off. Can you please come back for album #5? kthxbye.
Feel free to head on over to forum.pantsnetwork.com if you feel like saying a few words on the subject.
Maybe you agree with my initial opinions of the album - maybe not. You may think that Britney is better off without that sexy mastermind Max Martin, or you might think that Max is better off without Britney. Heaven forbid, there might even be someone who doesn't approve of (or even understand or comprehend) my feelings towards Britney.
All I have to say to that is: "Bring it on..."
