Better than Blackout and Circus?
Circus at least had memorable songs and was released when, you know, she was kind of still relevant.

Even Femur Fracture ended Boring.
In other news, let us continue praying/mourning for Katheryn, that persistent queen.

I don't really like "Private Show" and "Slumber Party," but I do like "Make Me...". My taste is probably different from most on POPGAF, but I was more a fan of the album as a whole and the album tracks that her team will never make singles. The bonus tracks are pretty good, too.
EDIT: I misread your post (thought you said you'd only heard Glory's singles), but I'll leave it. In general, I'm not super familiar with Britney's work either except the singles and her most recent albums (starting with Circus).

Million Reasons is a populist ballad whereas most of Lemonade is highly stylized and thus more polarizing. What kind of role reversal?

I like all of her singles except the ones from Glory, then again I just am not a fan of her.
I rated that a 1 out of 5 meaning I never wanted to hear that song ever again.
Yeah...this is temporary and associating the kkk with Katy "Resist" Perry...meanwhile Gaga made Joanne an album appealing to Trump voters?? Get your facts straight sis

_/¯Imagine thinking Katheryn's corporatist "RESIST" armband was anything more than an empty gesture.
If the civil rights movements were as "woke" as Katheryn, we would still have people chained to the cotton fields. A lot of the stagnation in civil rights and other social causes is precisely because a significant majority of the population is composed of mediocre white women (and men) who think they've contributed by wearing an armband after having made ableist remarks a few hours earlier, lol!

A few pages ago people were basically saying "John Wayne" was a ballad to racists.

listen to john wayne. you can stream it on spotify sis.
They like to call it "alternative facts"
I...enjoyed Glory for the most part, but the vocals were a big issue for me, especially in songs such as What You Want (that screeching was truly irritating and the song just fucking sucks), or Love Me Down. Less is more, and that's why the low-key tracks such as Just Luv Me, Mood Ring and Invitation work better than the rest of the album.
All in all, it could have been worse.
It could have been another Shitney Jeans.

Half of Glory is good while the other half is unlistenable. It's not the first time Britney has an uneven distribution of songs in an album, but she used to make up for it by having the 'good' side be a masterclass in pop. This time, it was trend-chasing drivel that had been peddled by the likes of Selena and Justin (with the exception of 'If I'm Dancing'), which is disappointing for someone whose name is attached to In The Zone and Blackout.
With great talent, comes great responsibility.

You trolling aren't ya mate
I disagree about that, the only pop album that Glory is better than in 2016 of the female category is Meghan's Thank You.To be honest, Glory is actually a good album with solid production that was able to stay in line with a lot of the pop music trends of 2016. IMO, some of the songs could have been radio hits if it weren't for Br1t-b0t 2.0's vocals bringing the whole thing down. A shame...
Rihanna literally having the most disappointing Grammy night of anyone in historih
At least she's in the company of legends.
tbh she didn't seem that fazed. She was having a good time, taking shots everytime she lost, dancing to Prince's music and enjoying the presence of her friends.
Historih will be kind to ANTi.
That shit put me fast to sleep before she even began singing lmao
Yes, Beyoncé blew a kiss to her. She will have good luck for the next 7 weeks!

Still so angry at Mariah's daydream snub.Rihanna literally having the most disappointing Grammy night of anyone in historih

Fantasy remix basically created a genre urgh!
Can't believe one of the most overrated artists ever (Adele) went on stage to then praise one of the other most overrated artists ever (Bey).
As much as I dislike Lemonade. It is ART and should have won.
Though sorry popgaf but Purpose was the bettah album! Most amount of good melodic songs.
Edit:
Katy is rising on itunes across the world yaya

I like The Suburbs (the song), Rococo, Modern Man, and Ready To Start from that album. Have never been able to get into the rest of that album.To the real music stans...
Is The Suburbs considered a good album? I can't get into it like I can Reflektor or the back half of Funeral. I find it so weird that the AOTY went to this album, but Reflektor went unrecognized.

I think Rihanna knew she wasn't going to win anything.
