Britney Spears – Circus

Circus sounds like a rush release aimed at erasing whatever it was Britney Spears (or her handlers) was trying to do at the time with Blackout (which actually did a good job of moving forward away from the teenybopper stuff she could never seem to get away from and was a very strong pop album) since she reportedly had little to do with the whole project and it was a credit to the producers more than anything – Circus is indeed a “comeback album,” but the problem is that she appears to be adamant in coming back on her own terms this time, and it’s a step backward from Blackout…much less of a dance-oriented album and a more well-rounded but outdated and meandering one, which is a problem because if Britney Spears has a strength, it’s dance-oriented music.
