Amazon.co.uk Review
As Brit and her fan base grow older, it's perhaps inevitable that Miss Spears's third album would be one of those difficult "coming of age" affairs. Luckily IBritney/i manages to carefully mix the more "credible", Prince/adult style tunes (thankfully there are only two--"I'm A Slave 4 U" and "Boys")--with the more formulaic pop anthems that have made her great ("Anticipating", "Cinderella", "Bombastic Love" and "Let Me Be"). The pressures of "growing-up" and the adolescent gripe of being taken seriously, seems to a dominant theme which runs right through the album from the, "...I need to make mistakes to know who I am" lyrics on the N'Sync-style "Overprotected", to the appropriately titled, "I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman". Perhaps Britney's street-wise maturity explains why there's no power ballad on the album, with the lower songs like "That's Where You Take Me" and "When I Found You" still having a bit of a swing to them. In true Britney album style, "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" is the obligatory rock cover of the Joan Jett classic. Winding the album down, "Before The Goodbye" is a Hi-NRG powered track (in the style of Dana International), which would make an excellent Eurovision entry given the chance. While this album might suggest a slight shift in musical direction for Britney, there's plenty of material on here that will appeal even to the most conservative Spears fans. --IJohn Galilee/I

 Well done Your Royal Highness, Britney S. Queen of Pop!!!!!! June 4, 2002
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This album is very different to anything Britney has ever done before - it's better!!! A lot of people say this album is rubbish but Britney deserves a pat-on-the-back for being so daring as to break away from her trademark poppy formula, even if it isn't as successful as her last two albums. Britney's first album sold 22,000,000 and her second sold 20,000,000. This third, and best, album has sold 14,000,000 but I think it'll sell more because it's only being around for eight months. Tracks like I'm A Slave 4 U really get things going with her new R'n'B sound which we later hear in her new single, Boys. Britney still manages to maintain her poppy signiture with tracks such as Overprotected, Anticipating and Cinderella. There is only one ballad on the whole album - I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman. This was a big hit in the UK and deserved to be because it's just amazing!!!I Love Rock 'N' Roll is a cover version and is well done. Bombastic Love and Let Me Be are two short tracks that are more R'n'B pop than just pop.pSo what you waiting for? Buy this album NOW!!!!!!
Britney Is Brit's BEST Yet! October 25, 2001

The highly antcipated 3rd album Britney from the infamous Britney Spears, is definitley this talented singers best as of yet! The album is a more mature, harder pop, with twists of RB, Rock, and Funk/Dance. The first single and track, I'm A Slave 4 U, produced by the funkalicious Neptunes, mixes RB beats with smoothe vocals to make it an awesome song! Next theres Overprotected, which is definitley one of the best on the album. Its a hard pop beat produced by Max Martin (did most of Baby... and Oops... albums) and written by Britney herself, as well as Cinderella. Next theres the sole ballad on the album, I'm Not A Girl..., penned by Dido, which is by far her best yet. Then theres RB influenced songs such as Boys, produced by the Neptunes as well, Lonely, produced by Rodney Jerkins as well as Let Me Be, which all sound great as well. Then theres Thats Where You Take Me, and Bombastic Love which are Pop/Dance influenced as well, with great lyrics and beats! Brit did an awesome cover of the Joan Jett classic I Love Rock N Roll, another produced by Rodney Jerkins, which is also more RB, which actually lives up to the original. Finally theres What It's Like To Be Me, which was produced by Britney's boyfriend Justin Timberlake from *N'SYNC, and Wade Robson, their choreographer. The song is like a rock opera, with Justins vocals in the background. The 2 bonus songs, including Before The Goodbye, produced by BT(Pop), are great as well. All in all, this is an all around GREAT album, and a defenite MUST-BUY! Britney shows off her new styles and sounds in this provocaticve new album, which is the best she has ever done!
Fantastic, fresh and totally unmissable!!!!! January 19, 2002

Britney has taken a more mature approach with this album. If you loved her first two, you'll love this even more! It is a very eclectic album, with aspects of rock to smooth r'n'b!brThe fourteen unmissable tracks are:br1 Slave, the first single taken from the album. Very sensual and beaty. 10/10br2. Overprotected, the forthcoming single, an excellent pop song song reflecting the smash hits- Oops I Did It Again and Baby One More Time.br9/10br3. Lonely, an excellent track, written by Britney where she expresses more of an attitude with any of her songs. 10/10br4. I'm Not A Girl, the soundtrack from her new movie, an co-written by mega diva 'Dido'. One of few slow songs on this album. 8/10br5. Boys, produced by the Neptunes, similar to slave, again very sexy and sensual! 8/10br6. Anticipating, written by Britney, with a feel of the 60's. Fresh pop sound! 8/10br7. I Love Rock'n'Roll, heard the original? Don't bother, Bitney has truely made this track her own! 10/10br8. Cinderella, one of the weaker tracks, but still a great pop song! 7/10br9. Let Me Be, another song written by Britney. A great track, you just don't want to get out of your head! 9/10br10. Bombastic love, like the music being played at the beginning of the 'Overprotected' video? That music comes from this excellent, but cheesy track. 10/10br11. That's Where You Take Me, very r'n'b orientated, written by Britney. If you love Janet Jackson, this song is bound to impress you! 9/10br12. When I Found You, an excellent slow song (not as slow as track 4!) Britney really challenges her vocals on this one! 9/10br13. Before The Goodbye, on the album, it says that this song is a 'bonus track' and it sure is. A slow song, remixed to a cool summer anthem, great! And she wrote it! 10/10br14. What It's Like To Be Me, a likely single, as Britney sings with boyfriend Justin. Not as good as some of the tracks, but it has strong enough material to pull out a Number 1! 8/10.pHere was my review, it's down to you. Don't miss this album!
OOPS she did it again! October 10, 2001
10 out of 14 found this review helpful
Britney's third album is a mixture of new territory, and a harder but safe Jive sound. Among the diverse tracks are the cool and sexy 'Slave 4 U' and 'Boys' Both produced by the Neptunes, and the results are amazing, this really shows that britney CAN work her magic in a mature area. Tracks like 'Overprotected' and 'Cinderella' are hard beated typical Jive songs, but nether the less, they are corkers. Also near the end are some slick RnB/garage felt tracks such as 'Let Me Be' which is something new from Britney. Overall we have hard beat pop songs, some RnB tracks both slick and hard beat stuff. Also we have hip-hop meets club tracks among ballads and the 70's felt 'Anticipation'. This is definately a mature Britney and definately a huge smash.
Excellent but not well performing CD! January 22, 2002

Well this is Ms Spears third album since her debut came out in 1999. After the great Oops I did it again ( YES I LOVE HER POP MUSIC!) she released I'm a slave for U as the first, more mature, single of the self titled 3rd album. That was probably not the best idea she ever had. Because instead of making the fans interested in her new CD some were frightened by the new Britney. Well they should have bought the album after all. Once they listen to it they will understand: The old Britney is still there! Examples? The catchy Overprotected and (probably her hardest song ever) lonely, which is one of my favorites. I personally love I'm a slave 4 U and the other Neptunes track Boys. The Dido written I'm not a girl not yet a woman is similar to Don't let me be the last to know and you can actually say it is the only balld on this CD! Other Up-Tempo songs are Cindarella, the 70s Anticipating and the awsome duet with her boyfriend what it's like 2 B me. ...brSome mid-tempo songs, you can dance to them too, are When I found you and That's were you take me. brAll in all I have to say: Believe me! This CD is awsome and does not contain any fillers or bad songs! So for all that were scared of Slave: just listen to it! It is the No1 pop record out there!brWell done Ms Spears! Till your next CD
