This album very much led up to and prepared the world for the sultry vocals and lyrics of Miss Queen B.
The hits that we hear by other RnB artists at the moment, are nothing more than copy cats of the low blue/jazzy tempo of "In the Zone". This proving that Britney really does lead the pack, and leads it well!
This album is great as it's totally unexspected, Britney's self titled album "Britney" still seemed very naive and forced, as she was still leashed by managers and producers excpecting the pop princess to sing purely "pop".

But this album is a breakthough album, especially with toxic, which revealed an array of vocals that we'd never seen, which later gained Britney her first Grammy.

5 Stars.
