About two months ago, I discussed that week’s recent Britney Spears’ antics with a good friend of mine. We both agreed; she was [is] a complete dumb ass. I know pretty harsh words, but we both agreed she was becoming more and more vexing. Okay, you may be wondering why we even care. Well, I think we began to wonder, too. Let’s see; was it her amazing singing voice? No! I guess we just thought, “She is a good entertainer.” Yeah, but so are a lot of strippers, too. Well, at least the patrons who frequent strip joints would probably agree that their entertained. Essentially, we both thought she was throwing away her career. We were disappointed. Of course, she did not renew our confidence with that pitiful VMA performance, just tragic. To put it plainly, “we didn’t expect much from her next supposed comeback album.” I said, “This album will fail; it will be a flop; Britney’s career is over.” Well her career may fail, but it won’t be because of ‘The Blackout.’ In fact, ‘The Blackout’ is a lot better than I expected. Nonetheless, it did take a few spins in my CD player, before I thought, “you know this is not that bad; in fact it’s produced really well.” What do I like about ‘The Blackout?’ The sound, it has great beats that make you want to jump on the nearest stripper pole. No, actually I think the sound is catchy, it makes you want to move [dance] it's electric--yes, you will want to boogie woogie. This is a pure quintessential dance album. It is nowhere near Madonna's 2005 hit 'Confessions on a Dance Floor,' but it's a close second. 'The Blackout' is my newest guilty pleasure, and trust, I have plenty. It’s also pure raunch, too. It is girls gone wild meets Jenna Jamison porn. If you can get past Britney’s tone deaf voice as she breathes and whispers over every track, then you may be able to enjoy this album. Download these; ‘Get Naked,’ ‘Radar,’ ‘ooh ooh Baby,’ and ‘Break the Ice,’ I don’t think you will be disappointed.
