8.1

“Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today we revisit the pop star’s singular 2007 album, her oft-misunderstood comeback and a defining cultural artifact of the dark, trashy, celebrity-driven essence of the aughts.”

Femme Fatale (Deluxe Version)

8.0

“Click to listen to Britney Spears’ "Till the World Ends" Britney Spears is pop music’s stealth avant-gardist. For years, critics have dismissed her as a cipher with a wisp of a voice. But from the minute she burst on the scene — heralded by the keyboard power chords of ". . . Baby One More […]”

“Britney may have left the psych ward, but on Circus, she proves she’s still a freak. The clubby, adventurous pop on her sixth album — her first since getting committed and losing custody of her kids — would have made a fine follow-up to 2003’s In the Zone. "Toxic" producers Bloodshy & Avant hit pay […]”

Blackout

7.0

“Well, this is unfortunate. While judges debate her child-visitation rights, Britney Spears has released an album whose title seems to have been inspired by a major flirtini binge. On Blackout, she’s singing that she’s "so damn high I can’t come down," anticipating a night of "dancing tabletop," and issuing a proclamation that’s enough to make […]”
