Britney Spears Circus album reviews are out and they are good, perhaps even great. The Britney Spears Circus album reviews all say that Blackout was a masterful album of amazing producing with nominal Spears vocals. This time around Circus has stronger Spears vocals.
Ann Powers LA Times says:
“Hackneyed as it is, “Baby” is a reminder that Spears is still a young woman trying to manage an impossible situation. But those aren’t the thoughts “Circus” is meant to raise, and in general the album does a bang-up job of pushing them into the background. And really, that tour is going to be great.”
Newsdays’ Glenn Gamboa states he never expected a Spears album this good:
“Circus” is overflowing with smart, savvy dance pop - the kind of hits that she has hinted at in the past with “Toxic” and “I’m a Slave 4 U” - that creates the perfect escapist soundtrack for these downsized times. All these accomplishments are made that much more incredible considering how low she had sunk - personally and professionally - last year with her string of tabloid-worthy exploits and the embarrassment of her clumsy train wreck of a performance on MTV’s “Video Music Awards…. Forget the release of “Chinese Democracy” as the year’s biggest surprise. “Circus” is a Britney Spears album I never expected to hear - one that matters.”
And AP says the vocals are awesome:
“Though “Blackout” was a gem, it seemed like the album was mainly due to the creative and technological wizardry of its producers, with minimal vocal effort from Spears. This time around, her pleasant yet thin voice comes through more clearly, not aided by as many layers and studio manipulations. She is also credited with co-writing two tracks.”
