1. Gimme More - 10
“IT’S BRITNEY BITCH!” This line is so f***ng iconic! That beat, her voice, everything is so sexy

 2. Piece Of Me - 10
Brit’s kind message to the media. I love how it just tells the truth about how the media treats the celebrities.

 3. Radar - 8
The song that came back later! I like Gaydar, I think the beat is sickening

 4. Break The Ice - 10
The intro aaaaaaa. Everytime I listen to this song I remember the record sessions, she chewing on the ice, her voice
The video was kinda meh but It was such a difficult time for her 

 5. Heaven On Earth - 10
I LOVE this song! When my bf and I started dating I used to send the lyrics to him <3 It’s just so cute
I got a feeling this will be one of the first ones to be out, so I’ll give a high score because I want to save it <3

 6. Get Naked (I Got A Plan) - 11
Back to the slutiness of this album I LOVE THIS SONG! Her voice is just so sexy in this song
I will take a space on my 11 to say that this album is one of the sexiest masterpieces ever made thank u

 7. Freakshow - 10
The intro, I love every beat of this album!!!!!!!

 8. Toy Soldier - 6
I can’t hate any song on this album, but this one is definitely one of my least favorites. Still a good song tho

9. Hot As Ice - 7
YEAH YEAH YeAhhHH! LIVING LEGEND YOU CAN LOOK BUT DONT TOUCH iconic

 10. Ooh Ooh Baby - 4
This song has a different kind of beat from the rest of the album, I’m no expert but it feels different
It has a Cabaret vibe

 11. Perfect Lover - 4
Shouldn’t been a bonus track imo

 12. Why Should I Be Sad - 5
It’s cute, but I guess it could’ve been a bonus track as well

 13. Outta This World - 5
Cute bonus track, it’s on the right spot

 14. Everybody - 8
YAAAAAS this song deserves more than being a bonus track, I LOVE it

 15. Get Back - 9
Again, it deserves more than being a bonus track! That beat

1. Gimme More - 10
A defining career moment.  The song that began the catchphrase "It's Britney, bitch!" It bops, it slays, it makes you wanna dance. Gimme Gimme More.  
2. Piece Of Me - 9.5
From the moment I heard the lyrics in this song I was in love with the shade Brit was serv-ing.  An anthem.  You don't want a Piece of Britney bitch   
3. Radar - 10
The song was so good it was on 2 albums.  
4. Break The Ice - 9
This track can make you hot hot hot hot   
5. Heaven On Earth - 7.5
She's cute but not a fave
6. Get Naked (I Got A Plan)- 9
Get Naked Get Naked Get Naked Yes Take If Off......Great deep cut.  This song bops  
7. Freakshow - 10
This just makes me wanna get my FREAK on   
8. Toy Soldier - 11
Not sure what the best part of the song is cause it's all so good.  Slay me Britney  
9. Hot As Ice - 10
This song is Hot like Fire   
Did you notice she says Can i get a witness?  Inspiration for Katy?
10. Ooh Ooh Baby - 10
A bop! A banger! A song!  Ooh ooh baby, your filin me up with your song.  
11. Perfect Lover - 7
This is one of the few songs I forgot
12. Why Should I Be Sad - 7.5
Another one of the few songs I don't visit often
13. Outta This World -  6
Ok this bonus track I never heard so this is a first impression rate. Wow the vocals are barely heard over the overblaring instrumental.  So far this is my least fave track
14. Everybody - 8.5
Never heard this bonus track before so this is a another first impression rate......it's a bop tho.......like how they used a sample but changed it up.
15. Get Back -  10
One o the best instrumentals on the album.  The song bangs and should have been a standard track. How did I hear this song but not the other bonus tracks?

1. Gimme More (7.5)
When this song leaked, it sucked me right back into the B Army, after I had taken a break following the release of In The Zone. At the time, it was unlike what most main pop stars were doing: it was unapologetic, robotic, sizzling, etc. It soon became one of the most iconic lead singles of all time, with the classic "It's Britney, bitch" being one of pop music's Top 10 phrases of all time in my opinion! I'd rate it higher, but, I've got to do my other faves justice.

2. Piece Of Me (8)
The biggest hit single from the album. Britney's Do What U Want moment. She snappedT! In all seriousness, I think it plays off "Gimme More" brilliantly: "If they want more, well I'll give them more." And more she gave. She did not hold back here. She ripped into the critics who were so ready to bring her legacy crashing down. And look who came out on top? It was Miss American Dream. x

3. Radar (9)
This song was passed around albums like a hot potato, but it still bangs. Should've been a smash, in all honesty. It had all the fixings for radio conquering, but alas. Pop was ever-evolving at the time. 

4. Break The Ice (10)
"It's been a while..." My personal favorite single from the album. The synths are godly, and we all know I'm a sucker for synths. It also gives me a very... nostalgic vibe? Around the release of the song, I was starting to date, starting to come out to more friends, starting to be more of myself, starting to 'break the ice' so to speak. So it's a very transformative song, in my experiences. Still one of my absolute favorite Britney songs, and singles, to this day. Not to mention, she invented anime with this video! Queen!

5. Heaven On Earth (6.5)
One of my least favorites from the album, but that's not saying much, because it's still a great song. When this is the weakest link, you know you're dealing with a very monumental album.

6. Get Naked (I Got A Plan) (9)
This song is a J O U R N E Y through space and time and sex and pleasure and lust and love. Futuristic Barbarella, belladonna of seduction, the shimmering synths create a fluorescent glow and catapult this banger into a galaxy far from here. It's like making love in the stars. Being vulnerable with the cosmos. Exploring desire within the macrocosm.

7. Freakshow (9)
We're reaching my favorite section of the album. This song is all about the peep show, Britney is showing us more of herself than we might've wanted to see, but she's the one in control here. On the right sound system, this song BANGS. Definitely laid the groundwork for pop in the late 00s, and early 10s.

8. Toy Soldier (10)
I think this song would've made a good enough single, but perhaps it was too ahead of its time. That chorus is the gift that keeps on giving, one of the most memorable from this entire album. Britney snapped yet again!

9. Hot As Ice (10)
Love the playful juxtapositions here with this song. She's having fun, she's playing up her bubbly persona but with that layer of sleaze that's present on the majority of this album. The backing vocals really take this to another realm, entirely. Living legend, you can look but don't touch!

10. Ooh Ooh Baby (10)
The guitars always struck me as really elevating this song to levels it wouldn't have gone with production similar to other songs found here. It makes it unique in this mix, and it remains one of my favorite vocals. The chord progressions are intoxicating, and the lyrics/vocals are very easy to single along with.

11. Perfect Lover (11)
"Are we ready? Are we ready, ready?" If Get Naked was making love in the stars, then Perfect Lover is f***ing in another dimension. This is my favorite song in this collection, it creeps down your body and really overcomes all your senses when you listen to it with the right frame of mind. The rap-sung lyrics scintillate against the sonic backdrop of warbles and electronic flourishes. Her smokey voice makes this THE stand-out of the deep album cuts.

12. Why Should I Be Sad (8)
Britney bares her heart and soul on this track, making it the appropriate closer for an album all about letting go of inhibitions. 

13. Outta This World (6)
Always been just a cute song, not much more to say on it.

14. Everybody (6.5)
The Eurythmics-sample really is an interesting choice, but ultimately, I can see why this was a bonus track.

15. Get Back (10)
THIS is the one bonus track that really goes off. I love playing it loud as sh*t in the car and just letting myself get into it!
