it's really hard not to vote for Piece Of Me. but Perfect Lover and Why Should I Be Sad are sooooooo good...

Surmounter, Sunday, 25 May 2008 16:28 (seventeen years ago)

It's really hard not to vote for "Heaven On Earth."

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 25 May 2008 16:38 (seventeen years ago)

I immediately voted for Piece of Me but now I feel bad for not voting for Get Naked (I Got A Plan).

musically, Sunday, 25 May 2008 16:46 (seventeen years ago)

i don't think so, alfred (the awesome italo-synth intro can't deliver more than it promises, i often skip it)

"get naked (i got a plan)" for me

impudent harlot, Sunday, 25 May 2008 16:53 (seventeen years ago)

so ppl like that song a lot, i'm learning... i have to re-listen. i usually skip it :/

Surmounter, Sunday, 25 May 2008 17:05 (seventeen years ago)

The only blah song is "Gimme More."

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 25 May 2008 17:09 (seventeen years ago)

heaven and earth, the freescha song

akm, Sunday, 25 May 2008 17:11 (seventeen years ago)

on earth, rather

akm, Sunday, 25 May 2008 17:11 (seventeen years ago)

totally into Gimme More. it's so full and throbbing and WHINY

Surmounter, Sunday, 25 May 2008 17:15 (seventeen years ago)

that's like the solid track to me. not the best, definitely not the worst

Surmounter, Sunday, 25 May 2008 17:15 (seventeen years ago)

Gimme more is probably the track i listen to the most on this album. It takes a lot less effort to enjoy than most of the other tracks.

Christyles, Sunday, 25 May 2008 17:27 (seventeen years ago)

wau

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Sunday, 25 May 2008 17:31 (seventeen years ago)

radar no contest

J0rdan S., Sunday, 25 May 2008 17:32 (seventeen years ago)

Heaven On Earth

Tape Store, Sunday, 25 May 2008 18:10 (seventeen years ago)

get naked

The Brainwasher, Sunday, 25 May 2008 21:47 (seventeen years ago)

apparently she's working on a new album now

The Brainwasher, Sunday, 25 May 2008 21:51 (seventeen years ago)

i knoW! wtf? that's soon

Surmounter, Monday, 26 May 2008 01:06 (seventeen years ago)

cleeeerly Heaven On Earth

A B C, Monday, 26 May 2008 01:28 (seventeen years ago)

I have no idea, anything but hot as ice and maybe oohooh baby are so fantastic its scary. I'm even loving why should I be sad now. This album is so classic. My estimation of Piece of me is really hindered by it having been a single, I don't think it works outside of the context of the album, unlike Radar or Break the Ice. Radar's gonna be a single right? I'd probably say Get Naked, because it is the scariest.

I know, right?, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:36 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah, people are totally wrong for disliking Gimme more. Notable highlight of that song are the bursts of right angled laser keyboards at the end and the wonky Danja corkscrew vocal/pitchbend solo. The lyrics are so perfect too, way creepier than Piece of Me, the publicity/celebrity as voyeurism/exhibitionism tangled metaphor is so elegant ("they keep watching")

I know, right?, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:41 (seventeen years ago)

I don't think there's any point voting Heaven on Earth when Kylie did a better version of that song (ie the ONE) at pretty much the same time.

I'll probably Get Naked because right now I really love the way the slowed down vocal bits kinda bubble up from under the groaning synths.

I know, right?, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:44 (seventeen years ago)

If she is working on another album, I hope it's with all the same people!

Blackout II essentially.

I know, right?, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:45 (seventeen years ago)

"Gimme more" is simple but it's got a great mood. One of my favourite tracks of hers. "Hot as Ice" might be the best "pop" song here and "get naked" is the weirdest but my choice would go to "break the ice" or "why should I be sad"...
tough one as almost any song here could be my favourite britney track outside this album...

AleXTC, Monday, 26 May 2008 14:02 (seventeen years ago)

Hot as Ice!

Finefinemusic, Monday, 26 May 2008 15:24 (seventeen years ago)

I think I might be the only person who likes "Ooh Ooh Baby" best. It's the "baby baby baby baby baby baby bay-beh"s toward the end of the song that do it for me.

I love "Toy Soldier" and "Get Naked" almost as much, though.

!Alicia!, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 01:14 (seventeen years ago)

ok i did it: piece of me. too hard but i did it.

Surmounter, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 01:56 (seventeen years ago)

this is impossible to choose, but leaning towards Why Should I Be So Sad. Definitely not Gimme More. It got killed by massive overplay in the gay clubs.

danzig, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 02:09 (seventeen years ago)

The only blah song is "Gimme More."

The only blah great song is "Gimme More."

daavid, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 02:31 (seventeen years ago)

no!

Surmounter, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 02:34 (seventeen years ago)

that is a terrible thing to say

Surmounter, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 02:34 (seventeen years ago)

It is "Piece of Me". I'm still hearing it blasting out of earphones on buses and on street corners and EVERYWHERE I GO, even when I'm not playing it myself.

edwardo, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 03:25 (seventeen years ago)

piece of me is like a drug, definitely

Surmounter, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 03:28 (seventeen years ago)

I voted Radar over Piece of Me, mostly cause "On my radar" sounds a lot like the word amaretto.

Mordy, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 03:35 (seventeen years ago)

I picked Heaven on Earth yesterday because I played it like a hundred times the first time I heard it. sort of wished I voted for Gimme More though, and Radar and Freakshow are really good too. ridiculously great album.

Roz, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 03:43 (seventeen years ago)

freakshow i love

Surmounter, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 03:44 (seventeen years ago)

Break the Ice ftw. Great song.

hyggeligt, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 12:22 (seventeen years ago)

i picked piece of me cause it reminds me in that meta (but in a more hopped on valium kinda) way of slave4U. it's AWESOME. that said, i don't know the rest of the record that well. :-( maybe i should give the rest of it a go and then come back (sign in under a diff name) and vote?

stevienixed, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 12:30 (seventeen years ago)

Get Naked (I Got A Plan) -> tell me this is britney spears having watch the tommy lee and pam video and slurring some sexeee words in my ears?

stevienixed, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 12:31 (seventeen years ago)

having WATCHED

stevienixed, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 12:31 (seventeen years ago)

"Get Naked" gets my vote but "Why should I be sad" deserves more love that it is receiving on this thread.

baaderonixx, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 12:36 (seventeen years ago)

that track is just awesome

stevie you have to listen to the rest of this!

Surmounter, Tuesday, 27 May 2008 13:30 (seventeen years ago)

i just got wowed by Break The Ice. what's new

Surmounter, Thursday, 29 May 2008 04:16 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

ILX System, Friday, 30 May 2008 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

ILX System, Saturday, 31 May 2008 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

Further proof that there are no real duds on this album.

!Alicia!, Saturday, 31 May 2008 23:46 (seventeen years ago)

strange results tho... heaven on earth is good but no better than Ooh Ooh Baby. and break the ice/perfect lover/why should i be sad got jipped :(

Surmounter, Sunday, 1 June 2008 17:07 (seventeen years ago)

Freakshow was screwed, but then I found myself too crippled by indecision to vote. This was a poll I cared about.

I know, right?, Sunday, 1 June 2008 17:58 (seventeen years ago)

BREAK THE ICE WUZ ROBBED

hyggeligt, Sunday, 1 June 2008 18:40 (seventeen years ago)

freakshow is so great. i had Break the ice in my head ALL DAY, the lead-in to the chorus part

Surmounter, Monday, 2 June 2008 01:23 (seventeen years ago)

u know T that's what happened to me with my Kim Deal vs. Kristin Hersh poll. didn't vote and then it was 1 short of a tie. mm mm

Surmounter, Monday, 2 June 2008 01:23 (seventeen years ago)

the lead-in to the chorus is so good. you think you've had more than you deserve with the synth riff and heavy beat and then that part comes in...

xpost

AleXTC, Monday, 2 June 2008 15:24 (seventeen years ago)

You get me ramz

I know, right?, Monday, 2 June 2008 20:40 (seventeen years ago)

=P

Surmounter, Monday, 2 June 2008 20:57 (seventeen years ago)

The bridge in Break The Ice >>>>> any other part of the song, but in the Kaskade mix they mess with the song and make the chorus amazing (although the bridge suffers)...if someone wanted to just drop their mix of the chorus to the album edit it would make the song 1000000% better.

musically, Monday, 2 June 2008 22:31 (seventeen years ago)

one month passes...

BREAK THE ICE WUZ ROBBED

got that candy zing (Tape Store), Monday, 19 October 2009 06:07 (sixteen years ago)

"why should i be sad?" is really great tonight

got that candy zing (Tape Store), Monday, 19 October 2009 06:13 (sixteen years ago)

it's always astounding

surm, Monday, 19 October 2009 06:14 (sixteen years ago)

nothing new to add : still a great album... (and I still don't agree with the poll results !)

AlXTC from Paris, Monday, 19 October 2009 11:40 (sixteen years ago)

one year passes...

Flawless album (accept shitty, unnecessary neptunes track at the end). I'd go with either piece of me or break the ice though.

prego, Sunday, 4 September 2011 00:01 (fourteen years ago)

why should i be sad is brilliant.

uberweiss, Sunday, 4 September 2011 10:02 (fourteen years ago)

these results are all wrong. the 4 best tracks (minus gimme more and get naked) are at the bottom.

uberweiss, Sunday, 4 September 2011 10:02 (fourteen years ago)

I never liked why I should be sad, I dont think it flows with the rest of the album. But I agree perfect lover and hot as ice should be way higher, all the danja tracks are awesome.

prego, Sunday, 4 September 2011 11:22 (fourteen years ago)

* why should I be sad

prego, Sunday, 4 September 2011 11:22 (fourteen years ago)

why should i be sad is like after the party. perfect joint to blaze after everyone's gone. it flows insofar as it reflects on the rest of the album. if get naked is sad, then why should i be sad is wondering why.

surm, Sunday, 4 September 2011 11:26 (fourteen years ago)

surm otm

best pop album of the 00s, absolutely.
