How I Roll
This is where you start to notice that Britney is finally starting to get experimental with her music. She remains playful in this track, but in a way that I really enjoy. The song builds like, and reminds me of, Okay Delores by Dragonette. I love when she says "You can be my fuck tonight." I simply die. Haha. I also love the chord progression in this track and experimental electronic sounds her producers use. This song is simply good, on all levels. It is the epitome of quality bubblegum pop. It even sounds like it. 8.0/10
(Drop Dead) Beautiful
This song is just okay. It is built like a radio track. The only reason I don't really like it is because there is simply nothing novel about it. It can be sung by anyone and really has no Britney staple. Filler that's danceable, but still filler. 4.0/10
Seal It With A Kiss
This is another song that isn't really of any true quality, but it isn't as bad as the previous track. The chorus is pretty catchy, but it lacks a real punch. This is a quintessential bridge/filler song. I just wish it wasn't back-to-back with (Drop Dead) Beautiful. It creates a mundane mid-album patch that is pretty unneeded. Still, I don't hate the song, I just don't really love it. It's very ho-hum. 4.5/10
Big Fat Bass
I personally hate Will.I.Am more than lima beans, but this song is shockingly good. It builds like a euro-pop/Paul Van Dyk track. I love almost every part of this song, even her shrill the bass is gettin' bigger line. It has a slow crescendo to it (which you know I love), and is quality electro-orchestral in every sense. This song basically gives the proverbial fuck you to everyone who gives Britney flack for being hyper-synthetic. This song is not merely synthetic, it's a fucking prize-winning plastic sculpture. Nothing about it is real, per se, and it uses its holistic synthetics to its advantage. I don't love when Will.I.Am comes in at 3:17, but I can deal with it in this track. I like it more and more every day. 8.0/10
