This is around the time when Britney met Kevin. I was so happy for her that she found love, but it figures that he turned out to be a jerk. I love this album, every single song is amazing. This is an even more mature sound. It was great to hear more of her writing as well. "Everytime" is definitely one of my favorite ballads written by her. "Toxic" is definitely going to be a classic song. It's one of her best singles ever.

I never called her Britney before this album. I always said "Britney Spears." This is definitely her breakout CD. This cemented my love for Britney because she wrote six of the twelve tracks. One of my favorites that she wrote is definitely "That's Where You Take Me." A very beautiful song with depth to the writing, unlike "Dear Diary." This was a well crafted CD outside of three regressing songs "Cinderella," "Bombastic Love," and "What It's Like To Be Me." I especially hate WILTBM because she didn't even write that song.

This CD wasn't much better than ...Baby One More Time with material. 'Dear Diary' anyone? Some of these songs were pure pop trash. The songs that are still great are definitely
'Oops!..I Did It Again,' 'Stronger,' 'Don't Go Knockin' On My Door,' 'Don't Let Me Be The Last to Know,' 'What U See (Is What U Get)', and 'Lucky.' I also liked 'Where Are You Now?' as a ballad. It wasn't as good as the others though. She definitely matured musically in a way here though.

This song was on repeat in my room every day when I was a teen. These songs have a special place in my heart, because they made me happy when I was sad. The song I really dislike is 'Soda Pop,' but the most standout song is definitely '...Baby One More Time.' A classic Britney song, which launched pop back into the scene with a sexy schoolgirl leading the way. Not her best album though. It's good for sentimental reasons.

p.s.- I just realized Britney hasn't smiled on any of her covers since ...Baby One More Time. That's sad. She has such a beautiful smile.

Britney's back! She has proved that she can still come out with amazing music. This album is so good! Almost every single track makes me want to get up and dance. Any of them could be a single too. All killer, no filler.

There are a few tracks I like best though. Those would include 'Gimme More,' 'Piece of Me', 'Freakshow', 'Toy Soldier,' 'Hot As Ice,' and 'Ooh Ooh Baby'.
