1. Womanizer

 

I remember absolutely HATING this song the first few times I heard it. I was expecting Gimme More Pt. II and this was so not it. I saw the video, and it kind of made the song for me. This was a really smart choice as the first single because it's loud, it's cocky, and it's addictive. Once I started liking it, I became hooked. 9/10

 

2. Circus

 

This is what I expected the first single to be like, it's the perfect description of the album. It's fierce, it's provocative, and it has a lot of bravado. I like the domineering sound of the verses, and the prechorus has this amazing build up that leads into a fun and in your face chorus. The production, the lyrics, the melody are all just amazing. 10/10

 

3. Out From Under

 

Instantly my favorite off the album. It's funny because to me it's a no brainer that this is one of her best songs. A lot of people feel differently, and that leaves me dumbfounded. The lyrics in this song are just so sad! I love Britney's voice in this one. I like the play with words in the chorus, the verses pretty much sum up heart break, and the emotion in the bridge gets me every time. It's bloody brilliant I say. Bloody brilliant. 10/10

 

4. Kill The Lights

 

After the first three songs, this one is in a weird place. Sometimes I can appreciate it and sometimes I'm let down. Ultimately, I think I like it. LightsCameraAction. PureSatisFaction. I keeEEl the lights. enough said. haha 7/10

 

5. Shattered Glass

 

I love it. It reminds me of Stronger Pt II. I like the intro, I love how she says gla-eeeh-asss. I like when she drops into "was it really worth it..." The music is interesting, her voice is appealing, mastered pop perfection. 8/10

 

6. If You Seek Amy

 

LOVE this song. Lol it's classic britney, and I love that at first I didn't like it because I didn't understand why she was talking about going after amy. BRITNEY YOU MAKE NO SENSE! NEXT. lol but once it clicked, it's just pure shameless fun. BIGGEST PET PEEVE THOUGH: people figuring it out ages later and thinking they practically came up with the play on words. lord have mercy. fun song. fun message. 9/10

 

7. Unusual You

 

I really like this song! It's so melodic and eerie, but definitely in a good way. I love the line "didn't anyone tell you you're supposed to break my heart? I expect you to, so why haven't you?" I like the way it builds up, and this is one of those tracks that I think works because it's britney's voice. It's just so interesting and catchy, and part of it is because it's britney. The only thing I would change about in this song is at the very end... something along the lines of her finally realizing what she expected actually happens. I know, I know, way to be a downer. But the whole track gives me this feeling of uneasiness, so to have her walk on the line and finally begin to think that she's safe and then WHAM! Oh, I guess not. Would totally break my heart, but in a whoah! type of way. I'm not making any sense. lol 9/10

 

8. Blur

 

This song isn't bad. It's not annoying. It's just not identifiably britney. Anybody could have recorded this song, and it doesn't bring anything that I felt was missing from the rest of the album. Personally, I resent this song because I feel like it took the spot of Phonography. Phonography would have made a bitching number 8!! 6/10

 

9. Mmm Papi

 

Okay, so when I first heard this song I thought it was AWFUL. lol it screamed gimmick, and I thought... wow it's not even catchy. SO WRONG! lol this song is amazing, like really amazing. It's just so fun and not in the way I expected. The instrumental is probably one of the best of the album. I like Britney being stupid and coy. It just works. And that makes us lovi! Owww! 10/10

 

10. Mannequin

 

I LOVE this song! At first listen, I just thought it was a lot of sound. Too much, and not enough at the same time. But when I pulled up the lyrics and really listened to it--looovvvveed it! Cool lyrics, cool sound, love it all together. And I love her voice! I can't even coherently explain why I like this song so much. 10/10

 

11. Lace & Leather

 

This is a decent song. It's fun, the lyrics are playful, and it's catchy. Kind of in the same boat as Blur, though. Trouble should have been here. Totally. Sorry, Lace & Leather. 6/10

 

12. My Baby

 

I detested this song. Like would not play more than 4 seconds of it because it was so bad. Then I realized it's because I hate the first lyric: "tiny hands... yes that's you..." lol terrible. The rest of the song isn't that bad, and I can appreciate her wanting to have a song for her baby. If you replace all the references to it being an actual baby, it could be a much cuter song in love song form. Personally, I would so replace it with Quicksand in a heartbeat. Quicksand was jipped. GRRR! Quicksand PWNS My Baby. 5/10

 

13. Radar

 

Seriously? Seriously? Radar was barely good enough for Blackout, but to put it on this too? If anything, they should have put Toy Soldier on here, or Get Naked (or Get Back). All suitable options. Personally, I would have gone with Amnesia. 0/10

 

***Phonography

 

I LOVE this song. I think it would make a great fourth single, it's just meant for radio. The puns are delightful, the beat is infectious, and it's just all around a great track. Britney, please release this. It's such a fun dance song. Who knew a song about phonesex could sound so good? 10/10

 

***Quicksand

 

I really wish this was an album track. I like it more than 2/3 of the album (okay 7/8's), so still a little bitter that it's a bonus track in like Japan only. This is gold. The music is fantastic, the lyrics are fantastic, and the chorus is deadly catchy. The Bridge is the best there is. She should get an award for best bridge in a song EVER. 10/10

 

***Trouble

 

Tired of typing. good song. love you love you long time. 9/10

 

***Amnesia

 

I like this song. It's not my absolute favorite, so I'm okay with it being a bonus track. 7/10

 

 

 

Overall, favorite album of 2008. And 2007, for that matter. 2007 sucked, music wise.
