Actual critical opinion of Blackout (not made-up Army fanfiction):
Quote:
It wants to be danceable, sexy, and a defiant response to the media shitstorm. It's not even that danceable.
Quote:
Sighing, panting and smouldering her way throufgh a dozen digitized come-ons, she maintains the fiction of a robo-pop nymphomaniac while all around her, Rome burns.
Quote:
Right down to its utterly garish cover, Blackout is utterly disposable and ultimately forgettable.
Quote:
The biggest failure of these songs, and the most confusing thing about this album, are the melodies.
Quote:
Sadly, there is nothing left to discuss about her music career except its correlations with her personal life, which has become nothing more than a time-lapse movie of an alternate universe where Madonna fell apart four albums into her career. Spears isn't back so much as still here, frozen as she was when we first found her.
Quote:
It appears that what she's doing on Blackout is attempting to co-opt the same sexual vibe of Justin's FutureSex/LoveSounds, a trick that proves she either hooked up with the wrong producers or is simply not as talented a musician.
