The rumored usage of a "Greyhound" sample, or possible imitation of the Swedish House Mafia sound, speaks to Will's (regrettable) influence over this project. It's exactly the sort of sound HE would be excited about. And perhaps Britney has convinced herself of his brilliance (and I guess I should just be happy that she seems to "click" with somebody, even if that somebody is a marginally talented lessor), but I think perhaps this is an indication of a betrayal of her previously-announced, Blackout 2.0, vision. I'd hate to see Britney (once again) compromise her own bright ideas in order to align herself with a producer/label who/that presumes to know better.
Will just loves to take the work of the legitimately talented and distill it down to a unpalatable soup of muddy loops with intermingling dirty bits. His bastardization of "Rebound" is an unforgivable offense.
"Let me layer this kick on top of this sample that already contains percussive bits, including a vastly superior sounding kick, and make things real ****ing messy. Yo, Chris, do you think I need to get clearance for this sample?" - will.i.am
I'd have to disagree, especially when compared to most of the rest of FF. Inside Out, How I Roll and HIAM are the trinity on the album for me TBH.
"How I Roll" could possibly be the best song on Femme Fatale. And yes, "Hold It Against Me" has been forgotten. I'd say "Trouble For Me" and "He About to Lose Me" are two of the best songs along with HIR.

How about we wait until we hear at least a clip of the first single before talking about this albums initial vision going down the tubes?

In regards to the SHM mention, Seb Ingrosso (aka 1/3 of SHM) is listed as a co writer on the track so I wouldn't be surprised to see that influence on the production of the track

Ohhhh yesss, HATLM is pretty amazing actually. Let me replace Inside Out with that.

'I Wanna Go', 'Gasoline' and 'He About to Lose Me' are the trinity of FF.
