Britney Spears - Femme Fatale

[croatiaxtina]

My favorite album of Britney. So good

[JeremySpears]

The North American fans kinda hate this album though, on the other hand this particular era was very liked and welcomed among her fanbase here in Latin America, for some reasons her hispanic fans loved this era a lot.

Love it or hate it, this was her last relevant era.

A lot of fans hate that album. As if she was ever about deep lyrics and meaningful pop music. It’s a fun, sexy dance pop album and that is what Britney is known for.

[Artoo]

I like it, and I don’t wanna call it generic, but there’s a lack of heart her other albums have.

[MrLeonix]

Some fans quickly label this album as straight dance-generic (and at parts I agree) but IMO not the entire album was like that:

[GetBack]

"Up 'n Down" is underrated!

[MrLeonix]

I rather think "Up N Down" is overrated, her fans are always praising it all the time and I don't get why, It's a nice song.

. . . but every time I listen to "Up N Down" I'm like:

. . . . yeah, that don't impress me much.

[JeremySpears]

Yeah I don’t get the hype over "Up N Down" either. I mean it is good but not THAT good.

"Selfish" is too underrated in my opinion. The instrumental is almost (I said almost ) "Blackout" level good.

[MrLeonix]

"Selfish" is too underrated in my opinion.

Yeah that one is definitely among the underrated along with "Seal It With A Kiss" and "Don't Keep Me Waiting".

[breatheonme]

I never understood the hate for DKMW, always liked that one.

Selfish and Trip to your heart are the two songs I never liked.

[JeremySpears]

"Trip to Your Heart" is horrible. One of her worst. That "ooooooooooooohhh" part alone makes my ears bleed.

Yeah DKMW is amazing.

[beredy]

He About to Lose Me is a hidden gem. It's like And Then We Kiss Pt. 2

[MrLeonix]

"He About To Lose Me" is one of the gems of the album but I don't think it's underrated, it's always been praised (like it deserves).

I never got the love for "Gasoline" though, it's very liked among the Britney fandom but for me it's not that special or anything.

[Erotica]

Trip to your heart is really underwhelming and the second worst track on the album.

[GetBack]

"Gasoline" is like the "Clumsy" of the album.

[breatheonme]

"Gasoline" is like the "Clumsy" of the album.

Hell no

[JeremySpears]

I like "Gasoline" and "Clumsy“ I-

"Inside Out“ is also kinda underrated these days. It’s pop perfection.

[MrLeonix]

"Inside Out“ is also kinda underrated these days. It’s pop perfection.

I have mixed feellings with it. I truly love the mysterious and dark atmosphere of the song, it's quite moody and interesting sound-wise, In fact I'd say it's among the more unique and emblematic songs of the album, it has a really cool nature and vibe but I feel like the writing and execution of the whole thing is quite awkward like it was recorded in a rush or something, sounds like Britney was spilling a bunch of words at parts, some lines don't really fit the music properly and her vocals were quite plain from a production / mastering view, I think the song could have been executed better. But overall it is a solid track and addition to FF.

[Erotica]

I like "Gasoline" and "Clumsy“ I-

"Inside Out“ is also kinda underrated these days. It’s pop perfection.

I like all three of them too.

[Mainshow]

"He About To Lose Me" indeed gets the praise it deserves.
I just wish Britney would have recorded the main part of the chorus as well.

[Mainshow]

Gasoline is like a 9/10 whilst Clumsy is more like a 1/10 for me xD

[mattsky]

I love Clumsy

[GetBack]

I love "Inside Out" but it had way too much going on in the production. It would be nice if they let her vocals stand out, it was the big pop vocal performance song in the album aside from "He About to Lose Me". The melodies are a bi drowned by so many things going on in the track.

Judging by the high note she hit in the second verse in "Sometimes", I think she could have sang the upper register of the "He About to Lose Me" chorus vocals. It sucks she only did the lower octave melody for the chorus.

[spiritboy]

I Wanna Go is one of the best songs she has ever recorded.

[MrLeonix]

"I Wanna Go" is a cute little generic bop, it isn't great by any means but I think it's harmless.

Despite the genericness of it I wouldn't remove it from "Femme Fatale" or as a single, I see why it's there and why It was a single so I can deal with that.

I think the verses are great and I like that spirit / nature of the song about "loosing inhibitions", however I think the song is way too much processed and I think if they had not treated her vocals that much or severely the song would have sounded miles better.
