Britney Spears – In the Zone (A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

Britney Spears – In the Zone (Jive) I have to admit it. I like Britney Spears. No, before you ask, I am not a teenager. I’m a normal adult guy with, I hope, a wide range of musical tastes.

Liz Phair – Liz Phair (Capitol) Hardcore Liz Phair fans weaned on the spiky likes of Exile From Guyville and Whip-Smart have apparently reacted with disdain towards the latest album from the queen of alt-rock.
