I feel like it would be much more appreciated if it had better sales/single success, it's definitely not Britney's worst album and it has a lot of good tracks on it. Nothing really screams filler and it's pretty consistent. Is Britney Jean as bad as it's made out to be?
Its a solid piece of work. Not a masterpiece but not trash like other people make it out too be. Its better than a lot of other recent pop releases which I wont name.
It has a few great tracks (Alien, WB, Perfume & maybe Passanger) but the fact the rest are not simply fillers / bad but downright TERRIBLE, makes it a bad album.
It's not up to par with what Britney can actually deliver.
Neither was Femme Fatale but no one seemed to bash that album.
I'm wondering if it's because it had success that most pop girls strive to get nowadays, 3 top ten singles and a platinum certification. The amount of good songs on FF and Britney Jean is roughly the same amount to be quite honest.
