Amazon.co.uk Review
17 at the time of this release, Louisiana's teen dream Britney Spears works her guts out for every vowel and yearning growl on this impeccable slice of middle America. Partly produced from the same stable as the Backstreet Boys, Britney's songs have a strange, submissive twist: the full title of the mind-blowing debut single should be "Hit Me Baby One More Time." Obviously "Hit"'s got an okay slang meaning now but the song and much of the mood of this album strikes a direct line to the Ronette's "He Hit Me And It Felt Like A Kiss" in its desperate need to keep a boy by her side. Britney may be the young front for some middle-age money-makers but that's beside the point. She puts her life into this record; whether you like her teen pop or not, that dedication cannot be ignored. i--Charlie Porter/i

...Baby One More Time
The first album form Britney! The beginning! On this record, Britney shows all her pop talent! There's not doubt about her sucess and how important ...Baby One More Time is to start her pop carrer. The album includes the mega #1 single ...Baby One More Time and huge hits as Sometimes, (You Drive Me) Crazy, Born To Make You Happy and From The Botton Of My Broken Heart. ...Baby One More Time is a collection os great pop songs, a essential record for every Britney and music fans!

A very good album from Britney
I have all the albums from Britney, and this is definately a good one. I am not going to analyse the songs, but my personal favourite is Sometimes, and I like Crazy second to that (I prefer it to the remix). br / br /I have written reviews for all her albums and they are all excellent (with the possible exception of In The Zone).

Britney makes the greatest debut album of all time!
selling over 30 million copies worldwide, this is Britney Spears' greatest commercial album to date and also with so many positive reviews for the album it is also one of Britney's most highest acclaimed albums only matched in equality with as many positive reviews with Blackout in 2007(!!), it was because of the instant love and acclaim that it sold millions within a mnth of its release date in the summer of 1999(oh i remember it well) and this summer will be the exact 10 years since its initial release which i find to be quite something!!. br /Since the release of the stunning (and arguably one of the greatest songs ever)...Baby One More Time (breaking records when topping the charts worlwide) she has released hit uopn hit after hit, and now (with the release of Circus) there is cetainly no stopping this starlet (now Queen of Pop. music). br /the sound of the album still remains fresh and exciting even ten years later which is why we all love Britney, on a plus she also makes vocal expressions that will even make Christina jealous, and still today Britney is an astounding unique individual that shows genuine love and care in her music no matter the controversy and critisism that surrounds her at the moment. br / br /I will Be There is the most beautiful song and most deepest song i have ever heard which is why it is one of my all time favourites of all her songs and songs in general, it is deep meaningful and strikes out from the other 11 songs on the album. br /(You Drive Me) CRAZY is certainly the most thrilling song on the album or certainly the most glorified after ...Baby One More Time. br /Sometimes is another beautiful unique number that strucks a chord with me, it is an amazing vocal range reflection and certainly is the most identifyable on the album. br /...Baby One More Time is still fresh, exciting and adrenaline fuelled that makes this the greatest pop song since Thriller/Billie Jean and Beat It(courtesy of MJ)and Like A Prayer/Into The Groove/Vogue(cheers to Madonna), thrilling and exciting it is one of the greaest and immortal songs ever created. br /Soda Pop is a reggae sounding song with a fantastic upbeat tune and fulfilling sound that makes a fun filled listen. br /I Will Love You is just pure, simple and stunning again providing contrast for the album. br /From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart, the most melancholic song on the album and just about the most sweetest thing you could ever listen to. br /The Beat Goes On is unquestionably one of the best cover songs out there and arguably one of the most successful due to it being attached to so many advertisements and trailers out there, keep a close ear. br /Born To Make You Happy, another stunning single release of the album. br /Deep In Your Heart is another unique sounded song that makes you feel great on the inside. br /while,E-Mail My Heart is more upbeat and catchy. br /finally, Thinking About You just makes you smile on the inside!! br / br /that was an overview of my favourite songs from tha album (all of the album)which just shows how unique this diamond multi-platinum, that everyone must have. br /overall-11/10 over perfection!! br / br /Britney and Blackout match this in terms of uniqueness and sheer power and epic sound!!, which makes her albums so very special indeed. br / br /Baby One More Time-11/10 br /Oops...I Did It Again-9/10 br /Britney-11/10 br /In The Zone-11/10 br /Blackout-11/10 br /Circus-11/10 br / br /thanks Britney!! br /

Where it all began
This album launched Britney's career back when she and I were both teenagers and my how things have changed... br / br /Britney Spearheaded the American bubblegum pop movement and made it her own at least here in the UK and fine examples of this are on this CD and the majority of it is very good, if you like your pop manufactured. br / br /Out of the twelve songs on my version of the CD, I'd say that only three of them are a bit rubbish. br / br /"Soda Pop" is the first offender, it never was my favourite song on the album and never will be. The only thing I'd recommend about it is that it doesn't sound like Britney at all. It's a bit reggae ish in comparison to the rest of the album, with it's slick production. Having said that, it does stand out in a good way. br / br /"From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart" and "E-mail My Heart" are also the other offenders for the fact that they are boring mush. On "E-mail My Heart" Britney sings for her lost lover to contact her via the Internet, something you can't REALLY imagine her doing - at all, seeing as most kids these days are using MSN, Facebook or MySpace to communicate to each other. br / br /"The Beat Goes On" is a worthy, playful edition and serves well as a closer to this now pop and media phenomenon we know now on a first name only basis. br / br /Nearly fourteen million people have bought this CD, however I wonder how many would actually admit to owning one. It makes me feel very old (and somewhat embarrassed) to admit to liking this...

Gosh, she's so young!
Looking at the date on the sleeve this album was made in 1998/1999. The sleeve photos (apart from the more adult/serious front cover) show a very young - and innocent-looking - Britney, wholesomely smiling her cuteness at the world. If we only know what was going to happen to the poor girl... br / br /Still, this a review and not a social commentary, so here goes. A very polished album of Britney's solo songs (apart from her duet with Don Philip on 'I Will Still Love You') which burble along pleasantly, if a little blandly. This is pop, not mind-engaging Prog rock, though, and aimed at a very different audience by the marketing men. Dance floor stuff for teenage fans (and younger) to shake their stuff (too young to have a 'booty'?!) to, and it's very good at what it does. br / br /I won't discuss individual tracks, as there are many more knowledgeable reviewers around than me, but there are few deviations from the formula; the final track, Sonny Bono's (I assume, I don't know the track) 'The Beat Goes On' is a bit different, and this is tucked away at the end so it doesn't clash too much with the mainstream pop of the rest of the album. br / br /A good first album, and despite being a bit targeted and manufactured-sounding it is a pleasant listen. There are far worse ways to pass 46 minutes and 17 seconds (according to my MiniDisc player) than the disc called '...Baby One More Time', and I'm glad I bought it.
