This is arguably Britney Spears’ best albums to date. Definitely her most accomplished and mature, the songs are a fuse of pop and R&B. The CD has a Madonna (Ray Of Light era) or Kylie Minogue-ish feel to it, especially on the song “Breathe On Me”. The song “Toxic” is probably the best song on the album, even better than the almost classic “Me Against The Music” featuring Madonna. The two bonus tracks on this edition of the disk are awesome. The are becoming my favourites out of even the non-bonus songs. The bonus songs (I don’t include the “Me Against The Music” remix, because it is a standard bonus on all disks) are “The Answer” and “Don’t Hang Up”. Both songs are really good. They both have more of a pop feel, especially “Don’t Hang Up”. I find “Don’t Hang Up” to be the better of the two bonus disk, but “The Answer” fits in more with the vibe of the rest of the CD. The 2 bonus tracks included on this edition of “In The Zone” are worth the extra bucks. Highly recommended, even if you get the standard edition. ENJOY!!!!!

In the year of 2003 Britney returned to the music scene from her wild year of antics with the infamous MTV kiss with Madonna. In November 2003 Britney released her stunning Cd `In The Zone’. Britney released her best album yet. She transformed herself from a sexy young teenager to a provocative young woman. In the Zone takes listeners though a journey of different styles of music. From Hard hitting dance tracks, to dirty ghetto Hip Hop to viby trance tracks to beautiful peaceful ballads. This album shows Britney at her best. This album made critics label her “The New Madonna”.
Me Against The Music – This is the lead single from the album. It is the infamous duet featuring Madonna. It is a hard hitting club dance track any is very different from what is on the radios these days. The track is just about being in a club and being oblivious to everyone and freestyling. This is my 2nd Favourite track on the album and one of my favourite songs of all time. 10/10(I Got That) Boom Boom – This track is an Up-tempo Hip Hop track perfect for the clubs. The track has also has an Indian vibe to it. This track features the Ying Yang Twins, which gives the track a dirty ghetto, feel to it. This song is my 3rd Favourite song on the album, and is one of the best Hip Hop songs I have ever heard. 10/10Showdown – The famous UK producers Bloodshy & Avant produced this track. It is a great sexy dance track which features Britney whispering “I don’t wanna be a tease. Would you undo my zipper please” This track is done very well. Again very unique. 9/10Breathe On Me – This song is very club-savvy orientated and is one of the most sensual tracks on the album. The song has a HOT beat and is reminiscent to Kylie’s Can’t Get You Out Of My Head. This track describes the intensity of a relationship so hot that they don’t even need to touch, just breathe. This is my Favourite track on the album and one of my favourite songs of all time. I can automatically see this song go #1 in Europe if it is released. 10/10Early Mornin – The second this track commences you will automatically know that it is Moby produced. This track is very sexy and has a trance feel to it. The song is very vibey and is about the next morning after a big night out. 7/10Toxic – This is the second single from the album which is produced by Bloodshy & Avant. The song is HOT and fits Britney perfectly. The track is a hard hitting dance track which could easily be used as the theme song to Alias or the next bond movie. Critics are describing it the best song Britney has released since I’m A Slave For You. I love this track so much because of its uniqueness. 10/10Outrageous – This is a typical R&B penned track. The second the song commences you will automatically realise it is R Kelly produced. This song is again perfect for the clubs and has an Indian vibe to it. The chorus is very catchy. 9.5/10Touch Of My Hard -This is the most sensual song on the album. This song is a beautiful dance ballad reminiscent to Madonna’s The Power Of Goodbye &. This song is an ode to (…). The song is Britney’s most mature song to date and has a sexy vibe to it. This is definitely a stand out track on the album. 10/10.The Hook-Up – Redzone, the famous team behind the Britney/Madonna duet, produced this track. This song has an R&B reggae feel to it and is fairly uptempo. This Is what we call a filler track and one of the less memorable on the album. 5/10Shadow – This track is a beautiful ballad produced by The Matrix. This is very reminiscent to Avril’s I’m With You. This track shows Britney’s vocals at its best. 9/10Brave New Girl – This song brings back the days Britney was innocent. In every album she has to bring out the stupidness in her. She has done exactly that in this track. This track is very pop driven and could be used as the theme song to Legally Blonde. I personally think it is The worst song on the album and one of the worst songs I have ever heard. 1/10Every Time – This track is absolutely stunning. Britney shines in this tale of heartbreak. This is definitely one of the most beautiful ballads ever written by not only Britney herself but of all time. The simple harmony makes you feel the words and the pain Britney has felt. This is a Guy Sigsworth produced ballad. 10/10Me Against The Music (Remix) – This is remix to the First Single. The song was remixed by Peter Rishi and an Indian vibe has been added to it. The song is still very clubby and is probably one of the best remixes I have ever heard. 10/10The Answer -Produced by P Diddy. The song has an R&B mid tempo flow to it. I really liked this song, but I was disappointed at the same time. When I heard the idea of Britney & P Diddy working together I was expecting an up tempo R&B track, although it was completely the opposite. 9/10Don’t Hang Up It is a mid tempo track and again has an R&B pop flow to it. This song is about Phone Sex. This song was produced by the same team behind Brave New Girl. I personally don’t like this song and think she should never work with Brian & Josh again. 3/10.ALL IN ALL I LOVE THIS CD AND I DON’T THINK IT COULD HAVE GOTTEN ANY BETTER. THIS ALBUM IS VERY UNQIUE AND IS BRITNEY’S BEST ALBUM SO FAR. OVERALL I GIVE IT A 10/10

I’ve never been a Britney fan. Everytime someone mentioned her music I would think “yuck”. But then, when this new CD came out, I decided to get rid of those thoughts.
I was at the music store and decided to give it a try. I had heard it was not having commercial success so something was wrong. Turned out Britney Spears had grown and this album proved it.
It’s a blend of new sounds and grooves. Nothing like her previous albums.Forget all you thought you knew about this woman. Get rid of that prejudice! Even if you’re not a fan of Britney you should listen to this album at least once! Then you’re free to judge.

Being Madonna’s fan, i kinda liked britney. In fact, i have all her previous albums but i often listen to them. When the “In The Zone” album was out back in 2003 with its 1st Single Me Against the Music, I was impressed. Then Toxic was released and I So Loved it.

After watching all her TV specials, performances and the Onyx Hotel Tour (which is her best tour ever!), i definetely had to buy this album.

When i got it, i was like wooow, this is her best material so far, Its very fresh, has a lot of different music styles and its sound very mature (despite some lyrics).

Breathe On Me was going to be released as a single (and video), cause its the best song from the album and it would’ve been such a huge hit but it was Cancelled due to Catwoman movie who wanted Outrageous (which it all was screwed).

This is my personal review on the songs:

Me Against the Music – 5/5 (with the Queen of Pop Madonna)

Boom Boom – 4/5 (very hip.hopish and catchy)

Showdown – 4/5 (sexy, misteriously)

Breathe On Me – 6/5 (i think there’s no words to express this awesome dance track that puts u in a sexual dance floor)

Early Mornin’ – 3/5 (Moby Collaboration, pretty nice)

Toxic – 5/5 (awesome dance track and amazing strings, cant get that song from ur mind)

Outrageous – 5/5 (a great hip hop track produced by R. kelly)

Touch of My Hand – 4/5 (beautiful far east alike song about self loving)

Shadow – 2/5 (gorgeous ballad, but not my favorite)

The Hook Up – 5/5 (hot and warm track, makes u wanna dance)

Brave New Girl – 3/5 (very goofy Barbie song, but good to have some fun)

Everytime – 5/5 (Amazing stunning ballad about love breaking, 100% recommended – Shame they changed the original concept of the video [britney's suicide])

Me Against the Music Remix – 5/5 (a hot dance remix, Hindu style]

Bonus tracks: If u gonna buy the album, be sure u have at least the 1st bonus track which is amaaaaaaaaazing.

The Answer – 6/5 (awesome Im a Slave alike mid-slow track, very impressive, shame it wasnt included in the standard tracklisting)

Don’t Hang Up – 3/5 (not my fav, but its pretty cool).

After listening this album, i almost totally forgot about her previous albums (except Britney: Im a Slave 4 U & Boys). But its a shame how this album ended, the best tracks that was going to be furthcoming hit singles, were cancelled. So the ITZ based tour “Onyx Hotel”.

I recommend it 200%.
