[Britney Spears] Blackout vs. Circus
 

Which one is better? :innocent

I think "Circus" has a couple better tracks, but "Blackout" is overall a better album.

Blackout.

Circus, without a doubt.

Both are great albums but Circus gets my vote.

my love still for blackout

all the songs in blackout are good, but the good ones in circus are REALLY good.

Blackout is good but Circus is her best album

circus!

Black out ! I'm really impressived with it !.

I can't vote ;__;

as an album Blackout is a LOT better.
but as single-worthy songs, Circus owns. it just seems to have quit a few B-side materials.

Yeah, I agree.

Circus has some really good songs, but I like Blackout better as a whole.

I like Circus better, by far. The only standout tracks on Blackout were the singles.

they are better overall

but i'll choose circus cause she mix the ballad and dance but blackout is dance only

Blackout is an overal better album, but Circus has a couple of tracks that are better than any of the ones on Blackout.

i can listen to Blackout the whole way though except for Why Should I Be Sad, but with Circus there's a lot i skip.

I can only listen to 2 tracks from Blackout, the rest are total crap. Circus flows much better.

Blackout is her best album, so it gets my vote.

Blackout.

Blackout, circus started great but its mostly filled with garbage tracks.

When you replace certain album tracks with certain bonus tracks (Amnesia and Quicksand) Circus becomes the best album of Britney's career. :)

Circus. I downloaded all of Blackout, the ended up deleting most of the non-singles. Circus, I'm actually buying the actual album! I love pretty much every song.

Blackout has quite alot of outstanding tracks (all the singles, Toy Soldier, Ooh Ooh Baby) and in addition, the flow of the album really smooth. However, I only find the first half of circus interesting (exciting to some extend), the rest is just pure crap.More can be done to improve it.

BlackOut

Blackout!

Pierce of me, Radar, and Freakshow VS Circus, Womanizer, If u seek Amy, Mannequin, Amnesia, Phonography, Out from under, and the list goes, on. Circus is the most enjoyable album of her career in my personal opinion. I really love this album.

I agree, on Blackout WSIBS is the ONLY song I skip, and with Circus I skip many of them, I would have liked Circus more had all the "Bonus Tracks" been in the original tracklisting that some of the crap that is there.

Blackout is fantastic as a whole. Circus is iffy in spots (the "Radar" remix, "My Baby", "Lace & Leather").

Blackout got the most of my fav. songs after her depressed period

I don't get that though, I got my copy of Circus yesterday and Radar sounds just like the original so I'm wondering if the rip was got was different cause even Circus on my cd sounded nothing like the one I downloaded when the "rip" came out.

I have a different opinion from some people. I think the GOOD songs of BLACKOUT were much more outstanding than the good ones in Circus. However, Circus doesn't have any horrible/hideous songs like Freakshow, that were there on BLACKOUT as annoying fillers. The whole Circus album flows well, and follows the theme of its title, kinda like dark sexual circus songs.

I need some time listening to Circus to come out with an opinion though, since I first listened to it yesterday.

Interesting diversion in opinions...

Personally, I was rather disappointed in Circus. Blackout was amazing, though, and I listened to it the whole way through so many times. Circus is just...blech. I mean it has some great tracks, and sadly the bonus tracks are WAY better than most of the other filler, but overall I think it was just way too rushed. I think if Britney waited another year and polished the album a little more I would've liked it more. But it's not a bad album. I just like Blackout more.

I very much prefer Blackout, but I'm not suprised to see Britney fans liking Circus better.

I think Circus feels more like a Britney album than Blackout and it fits better in her discography, whereas Blackout is this different sidestep when her career was out of her handlers control.

Blackout is very consistent album, and I'm a big fan of both producers behind Blackout: Danja and Bloodshy & Avant. I really like the albums darker club & electro feel.

I think Circus has some problems: the album has lots of filler tracks & a lot of the better songs have been left off the album only to appear on as bonus tracks. excellent tracks like Phonography & Trouble are not on the standard tracklist and yet Radar from Blackout is?
There are some really good tracks on Circus too tho, like Mannequin.

the "Radar" that leaked with the rest of the album a while back is fanmade.

the only reason "Radar" is even on "Circus" is because Jive promised the producers it would be a single, and when it wasn't released, they put it on the new album to, I guess, match the royalties the producers would've gotten with a single release.

I saw Radar as single material, it just sucked that there was only 3 single releases from Blackout.

and as far as the album, I listened to both my own cd rip and the one I downloaded when it leaked and it sounds completely different, I meant by pitch and such as well.

I chose circus bevcause I like SO many tracks from it :) while blackout was ok lol

P.S. circus is the first english album i bought in ten years LOL

LOL I was never able to get into it. If I listen to the full album in order, after Break The Ice finishes, it comes an hiatus in the album that I really can't enjoy, and I only start enjoying it again with Hot As Ice. I can't stand Heaven On Earh, Toy Soldier, Get Naked and Freakshow.:no

^"Get Naked" and "Freakshow" are probably the most out-there tracks for me, and they really give Blackout an almost abstract, artistic feel that I really love. I'll give you "Heaven On Earth" even though I really love it, but disliking "Toy Soldier"? :no :laugh

Blackout

Circus...

(i actually merged Circus and Blackout together heheh)

Blackout

blackout <3

Circus
man Re:Star, your sig's freaking me out

Circus is the better album for me. Blackout is a mess and even though I wasn't sure abt the tracks in Circus during the first listen, it's grown fast and I like all tracks except maybe 3 of the album. And even those, I can bear with :D

I think Circus is better than Blackout.. I love If U Seek Amy, Shattered Glass, Womanizer, blablabla..LOL

ah i enjoyed circus more~

I like Blackout more.

I really like the song Break the Ice, it's a pretty hot song.

Circus.
I didn't really like Blackout, it was too monotone and the tracks weren't that good.
Circus had some really good songs.

Circus was way better.

Circus

I like Circus but only by a BIT more, Blackout is sooooo good too

Blackout had good songs in the first few tracks... up until Heaven on Earth, then it starts getting montone... =.="

Circus was really good too but there were surprisingly quite a number of ballads/slow numbers. Though If U Seek Amy is sooooo awesome~

I choose Circus!

I know I love the ballads.. there were none on Blackout so I was so excited for them.. I LOVE Out from Under. & have you heard the European bonus track Quicksand? Best ballad by her since like, Everytime

I didn't manage to get (okay I mean download) the European version... the one I got had Amnesia, Phonography and Rock Me In as the bonus tracks. Is Rock Me In a bonus track? lol.

But if it's as good as Everytime then whoa Quicksand must be really good... youtube-search time!

Haha don't expect like an uber ballad though cus it's like a medium tempo song but I just REALLY love it!

Wow did Lady Gaga compose this as well? Cos it has her style in the song! I wish I had downloaded a version with this instead... -__-|||

Gaga just co-wrote it with the composer.. but yeah it's pretty good eh?

^ :yes Mid-tempo ballads with a touch of techno like in Circus are a breath of fresh air honestly!

AGREED haha!

I love both, but Circus is just perfect!

Circus, of course

Blackout, but I love them both - Britney's best albums, IMO, even though they aren't her most famous.
