Sorry, but I'm really not impressed with "Inside Out" either. What a dull, dull song. So repetitive and languid in melody, vocal and production. Absolutely nothing happens. There isn't even a middle-eight in a song that's crying out for some meat on its bones.

These are far from great pop songs. I can totally see why they chose HIAM and TTWE as the first two singles based on these latest two. They're dull as ditchwater.
i wouldn't call them "dull" exactly (there's MUCH duller pop songs out there) but i do agree with what you said on popjustice: none of these songs are as good as 'Toxic'.
That's what I was hoping for you see. I wanted lots of those BIG, classic pop songs. She has all these huge writers and hitmakers working for and I just can't help but keep thinking "This is the best they can come up with?".

They aren't awful songs or anything like that, but really...this is it? :confused:
do you still think 'Beautiful' is filler? Wait til you hear 'How I roll', 'Big Fat Bass' and 'Seal It With A Kiss'. :manson:
Oh dear. :lol2:

What about "Gasoline"? I keep hearing that it's another "Toxic"...
:rotfl: AS IF. It's an ok track.

After hearing the album once, the only songs I'd like to play again (first 2 singles aside) are: Criminal, I wanna go, Inside out, Gasoline and Trip To Your Heart. The rest of the album is filler.

Overall, a well produced album with very few strong tunes. Maybe it's a grower.

"Criminal" sounds very promising. At least it doesn't sound generic. I wish she'd put a bit more variety into her records.

I predict that How I Roll is gonna be my guilty pleasure from this album :shy:
Oh I quite like this one! It's odd, but in a good way!

From a poster on PJ:

"I Wanna Go is Hung Up '11 for Britney"

No. It isn't. It really, really isn't. :manson:

I understand you`ve already got the whole album? I just downloaded it, no need to help?

Haven`t heard it yet. Nice quality.

time for first ratings:

01. Till The World Ends 8/10
02. Hold It Against Me 7/10
03. Inside Out 9/10
04. I Wanna Go 9/10
05. How I Roll 6/10
06. (Drop Dead) Beautiful 9/10 guilty pleasure :shy:
07. Seal It With A Kiss 7/10
08. Big Fat Bass 5/10
09. Trouble For Me 7/10
10. Trip To Your Heart 8/10
11. Gasoline 8/10
12. Criminal 9/10

The production is pretty amazing but the verses of most songs are INCREDIBLY weak melody wise. The loons @ popjustice who say the album is filler-free are obviously delusional. The album starts well and ends well but the middle is rotten with filler imo. No 10/10 instant classics on this record but at least it's more consistent and upbeat than 'Circus'. There are no 'Mmm Papi's and 'Blur's here THANK GOD.

100% agreed. Great album anyway. I didn`t feel the need to skip songs. I guess it`s the first time in some period. ...'Progress' was the same

The bad:
No "growers" at all :( All of the songs quite instant, I were sang along since the very first listen :chuckle: And the sound IS very the same throughout the album, and rather like Circus.
Inside Out sounds like a rip off Circus sessions.

The good:
I do prefer albums with all the good songs even without 10/10, `cuz if there`s any 10/10 - you get a lot of shit with them. Always.
I liked the programming of her vocals here more than on Blackout or Circus. They seem clear and "sang", not talked.
It is overproduced in a very good way.




BTW I kinda liked Blur :shy:

absolutely! Her voice sounds more emotional and powerful despite the heavy use of vocoders.
