I'm Like a Ringleader, I Call the Shots

I'll be posting my list of the best albums of 2008 next weekend. One that will surely make the cut is Circus, dubbed Britney Spear's official comeback record.

Circus came out earlier this month - it's been in constant rotation on my iPod. The album is definitely Britney's best work: truly mature dance music. Yes, I like some dance music - no, it's not all bad. When you think about it, pop and dance music encompass a lot of the cornerstones of Glam: over-the-top videos and big stage shows. There are scantily clad women - and pounding drum lines. If you're open-minded, maybe you'll give Ms. B. Spears a shot. The world is bigger than your backyard, Poison and the Sunset Strip. Just saying.
