View Full Version : "Blackout" or "Circus"?

"Circus" is a great album, really well put together.
But I think overall, "Blackout" is a more solid album. Pretty much almost every single song on there could have been a single, it was such a great album, so catchy, I must've listened to it 1000 times over and over by now.
What do you all think? :)
Edit: The poll got messed up, ooops sorry, lol!

I prefer Circus 'cause there's more variety and the stand-out tracks are better than the ones on Blackout imo (Circus/Unusual You/If U Seek Amy/Mannequin). It's like classic Britney with a modern twist.

Blackout- when I wanna escape and forget everything
Circus - when I feel like caring.
I'm still getting into Circus.

I'd say Circus because it's more versatile. But both are great albums.

I havn't listened to Circus in full yet, waiting for the cd, but from the ones i heard, it's really good, it has more of a mixture than Blackout did

Blackout was ok for me. I liked about half the album.
I like Circus more. There are only 2 or 3 songs that I do not like.

Blackout is amazing. But Circus is classic Britney.

Blackout... easily.
I have attempted to like Circus but I have come to the realization that the majority of that album is just bad. It's a classic Britney album... 5 good songs and the rest are filler.

Definitely Circus. I only liked two songs on Blackout.

Hmm.. Perfect Lover and Break the Ice. I haven't listened to the album in months. I don't know, I just couldn't get into Blackout.

lol, wtf?
The album perfected modern electropop, plus it is a non-stop party from beginning to end... and to only like two songs from it's quite preposterous
"Gimme More, "Piece of Me," "Radar," "Get Naked," "Ooh Ooh Baby," "Freakshow," etc. Blackout is a thing of beauty.

Circus was not good.
She will never top Blackout.

While (almost) every song on Blackout was great... I always thought it lacked something even though I adore it. Circus is more versatile, I agree... There are still songs I want to skip but the good ones are REALLY good... better than blackout. So, its kind of a tie for me. Blackout I listen more without skipping around but Circus brings so much more to the table and I constantly find myself getting into more songs one at a time.
Overall, Circus is the winner because it has something for every mood.. ya know? Sexy Blur and Lace and Leather... To fun 80s pop Shattered Glass and Amnesia... Dance tracks like Circus and Mannequin... In your face songs like If u seek Amy and Kill the lights... ballads... etc etc.. Its a little piece of everything that makes Britney and pop music.

No, it didn't redifine sh*t. It was good for what it was.
I'm not hating on Britney, I'm stating the obvious.
How would her success or lack thereof affect me?
Delusional.
If y'all can't accept different opinions without feeling threatened and screaming HATER at every tangenting post, discusions shouldn't be allowed in this forum and worshipping would be the command to follow.

I loathe Blackout and I haven't heard Circus yet. I still listen to In The Zone, though. :love:
I feel Brit Brit creeping back into my heart at a snail pace, so I might ask for Circus for Xmas. :D

blackout by far. that would have been a better comeback album. it was so underrated commercially. prbs my fav album in the last few years.

with Circus each track is a hit or a miss
blackout was overall strong.

Wow, the differing opinions are split.
I decided to look at each albums tracks again. Here is how they stack up for me.
Blackout:
Gimme More
Piece of Me
Radar
Get Naked
Toy Soldier
Love Is (Not on the US album)
Circus:
Womanizer
Circus
Out from Under
Shattered Glass
Kill the Lights
If You Seek Amy
Unusual You
Mannequin
Radar (bonus track)
Phonography (bonus track)
Amnesia (bonus track)
Quicksand (bonus track)
Trouble (bonus track)
So there we have it. I like 6 songs from Blackout, and 13 songs from Circus!
:D

Circus.
Blackout was like a 2 year old trying to sing songs that a 25 year old would sing. Her voice sounded too squeeky, and "Why Should I Be Sad" basically outweighs any good songs on the album.

Ain't that the truth. Again.
I tried and tried, but it just didn't grow on me.

I'm still getting into Circus, but I think I prefer Blackout. There are more songs on Circus that I don't like. I like just about every song on Blackout, 1 or 2 excepted.

What is that song? Is that the same one we know as "Let Go"?

If I could only listen to one I'd pick Blackout and say it's better.
But Circus is cool for songs like If You Seek Amy and Shattered Glass. They're really different so it's hard to say one is better, Blackout is a better dance cd, Circus is a better cd in that it has more dimensions vs Blackout's 1, being robot voice dance tracks.

nah, "Love is..." is "State of Grace" . It was called "Love is..." on the demo CD.
"Love is a state of grace..." I think they just chose thee first lyrics as the title for some of those demo tracks.
"Been a while..." :laugh:

On Blackout I can't stand "Hot as Ice," and "Why SHould I Be Sad?" I love Circus, it has so much more fun songs and variety.

hmm this is hard because they're both pretty much the same damn album. Each song on both albums cancel one another out.
I choose Circus.

Blackout is definitely more solid. There are songs on that album I don't like very much, but I can listen it through from the beginning to an end.
Circus... I cannot listen the whole album. There's just too many bad songs on it. But she did try something new on Circus and I give her props for that.

I agree. After hearing Circus, I've listened to Blackout more. I'm gonna purchase it when Circus comes out.

I think CIRCUS is more well rounded but that doesnt mean its a better album, I realized!
I actually DL'ed some off BO and love the dance tracks. I really dont care for any song off CIRCUS...I Think people will be more into if they like pop but its still emotionless and "CLASSIC BRITNEY" but that never really worked for me.
I think BO was more edgy in its sound and DEF more dance worthy BUT listening thru the whole album yo know somehting is missing but its still fun!
