In The Zone was a piece art in its self, but Blackout is on another level when it comes to overall quality. Each track syncs into each other, and even though Britney did not have much lyrical input into the songs. Her voice, and natual star quality still shines in that signature Britney-ish style. Her vocals are being compared to the Baby One More Time cd, but I hear a far better, and stronger quality. It seems odd for me to say this but through her trials, and tribulations this year alone. This album is not only a comeback back album, but also her difinitive record. She has finally reached a point in her career where its not just about taking it to the next level, but its also about taking risk. Britney sure did take a risk with this record, and she came back on top,
