Not excactly thinking 10/10 but I think Shattered Glass is way better than a 6. The scratched bit towards the end is PRETTY annoying though.

I hate that I can't rate stuff :angry:

The concensus on Popjustice is that Circus is VASTLY superior to Hard Candy in almost every single respect.

It's quite literally, terrifying.

It's SO lovely to have new Britney tracks, and unlike blackout we also have proper performances and music videos (and maybe even a tour!?) to look forward to!

Im glad it's not just blackout 2.0 It manages to sound unlike anything she has ever recorded before, but at the same time it still sounds toally 'Britney.' I don't know how anybody could say it's better than the unlistenable mess that is 'Hard Candy!'

Whilst being undeniably poppy, I almost feel like it does it in a way that playfully takes the piss out of itself, as it's still underlined with those dark blackout style beats and cheeky lyrics. It's kind of hard to explain, and I'm probably just over analysing, but I feel like it's just giving a nod back to her bubblegum roots, then the beat get's all 'trippy' and it reminds you of the new Britney sound again.

ANYWAY, once again, Britney raises the bar.

One statement from a Popjustice member:

Hard Candy is simply an awful album...every song on Circus is better than anything on Hard Candy (with the exception of 4 mins)

:manson:
:lmao:

No I find it very hard to rate stuff so I never do it.

It literally is a non-stop barrage of "Britney has reclaimed the Queen of Pop crown from Madonna". "This shits over the unlistenable mess of Hard Candy" etc etc.

Like seriously...W...T...F????

These Jessies were probably in the nursery when Dear Jessie was released.

I'm not a huge fan of Hard Candy, but it's hardly an "unlistenable mess". Besides which, Confessions On A Dance Floor shits over the unlistenable mess of Britney's entire career so it's all rather pointless!

And how can anyone say it's not "Blackout Part 2" - that's EXACTLY what it is.

Yup. The only difference is a couple of ballads thrown in.

Shit ones.

Excuse me but this is far from Blackout. Circus is much more pop whereas Blackout clearly is electropop.

Oh, come on. I've only listened to half of it, but most of them sound like they could have come straight from "Blackout". As River said, the only ones that don't are those godawful ballads.

Oh Mats, most of the tracks sound *exactly* like Blackout stuff.

The fact that they even shoved Radar on this one again is another inidication.

Exactly. "It's not Blackout 2.0" yet Radar pops up on the tracklist and Womanizer sounds like a Blackout B-side (so does half of the album).

I don't think it's anything like Blackout, the beats and instrumentation is totally different this time.

The Hard Candy vs Circus discussion is ridiculous. Personally I think HC is rubbish because I expect a lot more from Madonna. Britney could never top Blackout in the first place because that album is brilliant so I no bars raised, this new album is still very good though!

Er... What kind of language is that? :bradleh: Is it a side effect of listening to Britney?

It's an incredibly weak album apart from a couple of songs
