Excellent music news

Britney's new album is apparently excellent

"Faced with a public image in freefall, an artist has two options. One involves making music that harks back to your golden, pre-tailspin days with lyrics underlining your complete normality: the hope is that the public will fall for the ruse that nothing is actually wrong. The other is to throw caution to the wind: given your waning fortunes, what's the harm in taking a few musical risks? Happily, Blackout - an unfortunate choice of title, given the nature of Spears' recent travails - opts for the latter course, unleashing a torrent of ferociously distorted synthesizers, electronically treated vocals, snapping drum samples and bovver-booted glam rock beats. The results are largely fantastic."
