Ugrade U is GLORIOUS and so is Ring The Alarm. Kitty Kat is shit, with that I agree, but Suga Mama MORE than makes up for it. Britney has never recording anything with half as much soul, sex and sass as Suga Mama. God knows she's tried.

Ladies, calm down.

Here's a review of the album.

Britney Spears maximizes her pop appeal in 'Circus'

USAToday.com: Britney Spears' three-ring life is on display in new album Circus. She shines best on the dance tracks.

Britney Spears confesses to her exhibitionism on the title track to her album Circus (* * * out of four, on sale Tuesday and now streaming on imeem). It's what feeds her hunger for the spotlight even as she's driven to distraction by the constant scrutiny.

She gives raspy, robotic voice to this duality over a series of electro-pop grooves aimed at maximizing her pop appeal. This is the album that's supposed to get her career back on track after last year's Blackout began her recovery from a train-wreck life that has included custody battles and public breakdowns.

To a point, it works as artistic rehab. Britney is in control as the dismissive ex on hit single Womanizer and the hot boy magnet on Radar. She seems most at ease when she's playing the teasing tart. But there's plenty of tension underneath that blithe spirit.

Kill the Lights finds her snapping at the omnipresent paparazzi like a piranha baring its teeth at fingers pressed against the fishbowl. If U Seek Amy mocks onlookers' morbid fascination with the downward spiral of celebrities.

Spears tosses in a couple of ballads along the way, but these really aren't her forte. The slew of top-flight producers - including Max Martin, The Outsyders, Danja, Bloodshy & Avant and The Underdogs - bolsters her vocal variety of echoes and gimmicky effects, but they don't really help the breathy Out From Under or saccharin Unusual You. She shines much better on the dance tracks, especially when she's in naughty-girl mode on Lace and Leather or trying to come out of a morning-after fog on Blur.

The pop star frequently has been written off, and here she again shows her resiliency. She knows who she is as a singer, and she doesn't waste time searching for artistic direction or overthinking her appeal.

Considering the daggers that come out whenever she rears her head, her ability to laugh at her foibles - and other people's reaction to them - is one of her more endearing qualities. Of course, you can't always tell whether she's doing it with tongue in cheek or smiling through gritted teeth.

Excellent :D
