I just downloaded the new video to this. I love it! Has anyone else seen it yet, or heard it? What do you think...

It's ok. I haven't seen the video.

I prefer "Showdown" fromt he album, I dont think "Toxic" will gain Britney any new fans or win back old ones.

I like Boom Boom from the album but Toxic is great. The video wasn't what I expected (Not sure what I expected to be honest) but it's superb. Has the video hit these shores yet? When is the single out?

I really like this, Briteny seems to be entering darker pop regions. It grows on you.

I've got the album, If you had told me 5 years ago that I would end up buying a Britney album I would have laughed at you.

It's a good album. Not the greatest album ever but it's a good direction for Britney to be going.

Toxic is the best track on the album, IMO

I agree

I've always been a bit of a Britney fan (going to see her in concert in May!! although I'm sitting at the back because her fan club bought the tickers for the whole front half of the arena!)
I have to say that this album isnt as good as the others. There are a couple of good ones, but I think she did the bubblegum pop thing much better. In her last album there were songs that were more grown up (overprotected and i'm not a girl to name two) but were still britney style. I get the feeling now that she's trying to be controversial. Unfortunately I dont see her regaining the popularity she had in the first place now.

I do like the video to this, I think she looks good. I'd heard that it was very controversial because it was so obviously aimed at Justin (she poisons her boyfriend/lover in the video), but I didnt see it to be honest. I think the media are just clutching at straws!

I think its good thatn she is moving forward.

But she was the pop princess, for about 6 months in 1999 she was IT. How do you come back from that?

I don't see it either. Always trying to stir up drama.

i really like this song. the first time i heard it i wasn't sure, but it definately grows on you. one of the best she's done imo. the guitar bit on the chorus sounds a bit like Girls Aloud Sound of the Underground.

is the rest of her album crap? what are the good songs on it?

I like all of her songs on the album except the Bhangra remix of Me Against the Music. It seems pointless.

Well with 2 fast tracks I just wonder if it's going to be a slow one next. There is quite a good one on the album called 'The Touch of My Hand' but I'm not sure she'd release it as it's seems to me to be about masturbation in the absence of a boyfriend. A line from it is "Another day without a lover, the more I come to understand - the touch of my hand."

Other faves of mine are Boom boom, Showdown and Shadow.

The album is also available from cd-wow.com for £7.99!

I like it, but I think I prefer "Me Against The Music". I like the "Old Bollywood" style string (best way I can describe it), but then again, that makes it sound alittle too like the start of Linkin Park's "Faint". The Rock N Roll style guitar, that sounds similar to the one used in alot of Girls Aloud tracks, drives me to distraction for some reason, don't know why, can't stand that sound on modern pop records.

It has a certain quality about it, but I think it faffs around alittle too much though, too many overly long pauses and changes in sound. Sounds like the producer is showing off a bit too much. I'm guessing this one isn't produced by the Neptunes, is it, anyone know?

I'm not a Britney fan but I'm first to admit that this is a really catchy song, think itss her best in ages. She might not be stufed after all.

I didn't like the new album at first, but after having it in the car for a week I really like it.

Tracks like Toxic, Outrageous, Shadow, Brave New Girl & Everytime are growing on me.

Don't like Britney so much with the red / black hair in new video though.

Plus I'm seeing Britney in May at NIA row 20 me thinks.

um, its not brilliant, but its definitely not bad. I wouldnt say that there are any appalling songs on there, most are capable of at least being fairly successful singles. Its a lot more grown up, and I dont think that some of the other songs are as catchy. Personally I think that Toxic and Everytime (a ballad that I'm pretty sure she'll be releasing) are the best on there.

It's a grower, I like how she has played back to some of Justin's videos.

Really like this song. Everyone said she'd never beat "...Baby One More Time". I don't think she has. But she's very close. Video and song are brilliant.

...Baby One More Time was like a pop milestone, it is hard if almost impossible to beat. But a true and long term artist does break that barrier.
