Britney Spears - In the Zone - {Japanese Edition} (2003) [FLAC] (log/cue/cover/tracks)

Code:
Spears' most sexual offering to date, In The Zone was also Britney's most musically diverse album, featuring producers such as R.Kelly, Roy "Royalty" Hamilton, Bloodshy & Avant, and Moby and also, an increased artistic input by Spears herself compared to her other albums. After the release of the album the critics ignored "Toxic" and focused their attention on "Breathe on Me" and "Touch of My Hand". Both songs have lyrics that are sexually suggestive.

The album had a mixed critical reception, although the positive notices were stronger on this outing. Stylus Magazine gave the album a D and even blamed her career choices saying, "Ultimately, In the Zone suffers greatly from Britney's uneasy transition from teen tart to sexually powerful woman. Had Britney been in charge of her career direction instead of mercilessly prostituted by her management, she might have been able to produce something with some semblance of musical vision." The Guardian praised the albums melodies and her effort giving it 4 out of 5 stars and writing, "Unlike previous Britney albums, In the Zone has no filler and no shoddy cover versions, just 57 varieties of blue-chip hit-factory pop. There is southern hip-hop, deep house, Neptunes-style R&B, the ubiquitous Diwali beat and, most importantly, oodles of Madonna."
