'Femme Fatale' is FLAWLESS! Every song is ****in' FLAWLESS
I can't @ Britney slaying all the other gorls so effortlessly. I really didn't think she could top 'Blackout' but she ****in' DID IT!
Her best album, best album of 2011 ... I don't see any album coming out this year topping this one tbqh.
Just an absolute pop masterpiece
My faves: "Inside Out", "(Drop Dead) Beautiful", "Criminal", "Hold It Against Me", "Gasoline" & "Big Fat Bass".
Britney has 10 years worth of material to collect money from. It would be more interesting to see how much Britney brought in her third year and adjusting it to 2010 dollars. That would be a fair comparison.
After lots of listens and final judgment, this is my review of Femme Fatale.
1. "Till the World Ends"
(I've let my feelings be known about this song, and I've made it obvious that I'm not a fan. I like my Britney to sound exactly like signature Britney sounds, and for my taste this has too much of a Ke$ha influence [even if she did write it]. The "oh oh oh's" are way too much for me, and I think it's one of her worst singles she's released). Rating: 3/10
2. "Hold It Against Me"
(As soon as I heard this song I was a fan. The vocals aren't too over layered and it doesn't sound as compressed as the previous track. I love the grinding pop/dubstep/house feel in the song and find it to be a great track. It's not her best single by any means, but it sounds like a signature Britney song sounds and that's what I love about it). Rating: 8/10
3. "Inside Out"
(Wasn't sure how I would feel about this track after hearing the snippets, but now I know for sure that I LOVE it. It's Urbaney Reminds me of the Blackout era and she sounds great on the track. I know it's a midtempo, but I think it could work as a single! Really strong song). Rating: 9.5/10
4. "I Wanna Go"
(This song MUST be released. The hook and melodies are infectious. It gives me this Kylie Minogue vibe, which for me personally, is a huge plus. The whistles in the song are so, so addictive and I think if released this could be her biggest hit from this era. It's a great pop song and a classic Britney track). Rating: 10/10
5. "How I Roll"
(On the first listen of the snippet, this song gave me Robyn teas and I had high hopes. After listening to the final, I felt a bit let down. For me the song really doesn't go anywhere or take Britney to any new heights and is just a cool, verging on lackluster, kind of rap track from Britney. Not my favorite, hugely disappointed in Bloodshy & Avant, not their best work). Rating: 4/10
6. "(Drop Dead) Beautiful" (feat. Sabi)
(Hands down my favorite track on the album. It reminds me of Blackout a lot and I think the hook is just amazing. I get down to this song, I can't help but whip my hair and start going dance crazy when I listen to it. I personally think this would be a HUGE single if released, but I've noticed that some fans don't like it. I don't think Sabi brings it down, even though I think the song would've been just fine without her). Rating: 10/10
7. "Seal It With a Kiss"
(This song is a really nice, light pop track from Britney with those cute little "ooh-oh ooh's" and I like this side of her. I don't think it is one of the album's strongest, nor do I find it single-worthy, but at the same time I find it appropriate to include a song like this on the record. It's cute, but for me it's nothing special. Could have growing potential though). Rating: 7/10
8. "Big Fat Bass" (feat. wil.i.am)
(Okay, so I'm just not a fan of will.i.am. I find everything he writes/produces or sings as an artist is always way too much and comes across as trying too hard. This song isn't a song that I can really dance to just because I find it so annoying and I don't think will.i.am brought out a new side of Britney that I was hoping he could show us. It's just really dry for me and one of the worst tracks on the album). rating: 3/10
9. "Trouble for Me"
(As soon as I heard the beat of this song kick in, I was immediately reminded of J. Lo's "On the Floor." Despite the slight similarity, I like that the dubstep on this Britney track goes much harder. She sounds GREAT on this record and it's already a classic Britney favorite for me. This was the surprise track of the album in my opinion and I was really, really pleased with it!! Looove). Rating: 10/10
10. "Trip to Your Heart"
(This song wishes it was as great as "Heaven on Earth" from the Blackout era. It's nowhere near as good as that song, but I think they were trying to go in kind of the same direction with this song. It's really nice, but kinda falls flat as a track when looking at all of the songs on the album as a whole. Not my favorite). Rating: 5/10
11. "Gasoline"
(LOVE the way her voice sounds on this song. It's got a really great guitar sound on it and it serves it's purpose as an album track. I don't see it being released or even really being a fan favorite, but I really enjoy this and won't find myself skipping it anytime soon when listening to Brit). Rating: 8/10
12. "Criminal"
(This song screams Madonna for me, really reminds me of her. The intro to the song reminds me of playing Zelda or Final Fantasy and I love that. She sounds great on this song and it's one of her stronger vocal tracks on the album. One of my favorites). Rating: 9/10
OVERALL SCORE: 7.2/10
(In my opinion this album is not better than Blackout, but over time it could grow on me and that opinion could change. However, I love that it's much more similar to the Blackout era than her previous works and I really think she sounds great on the majority of the album. The album's weakest tracks lack true substance and are a bit too compressed and generic for me, but luckily it's stronger tracks show my favorite side of Britney and will be playing on my iPod and iTunes a whoooooole lot. It has more stronger songs than it does weaker ones, and in the end I think the Femme Fatale era is going to turn out to be her strongest in a long time and I'm excited to see what more is to come).

Sabi brings the song to a whole new level. They don't know what they're talking about.
I like the album. I just don't see how it is "epic". It sounds like other stuff out, as in it doesn't stand out. HIAM was very new sounding and set it up for FF to be very different. I feel like HIAM raised my expectations for the album. I think there are parts of FF that make it rival Blackout. But what made Blackout such a good album was how it was one of (if not the first) mainstream top 40 albums to be purely dance. That's what made Blackout so great...connecting dance to mainstream. So even if FF sounded as good as Blackout, it could not be as epic as Blackout. I do not see FF as a game changer.
"There's a countdown waiting for me to erupt
Time to blow out
I’ve been told who I should do it with
To keep both my hands above the blanket
When the light’s out
Shame on me
To need release
Un-un-uncontrollably"

Gurl Trip To Your Heart is like a whirlpool, if you are afraid to near it, you'll never get sucked into it...
