Britney Spears' new CD? Save your money

The new Britney Spears album "Blackout" (Jive) is terrible. But how could it not be?

After all, music was never really the strongest part of the Britney Spears package in the first place. She was more about, well, packaging - the look, the videos, the personal life, everything that surrounded the music.

So now, in the midst of all of her personal turmoil - the custody battle, the substance abuse allegations, the wobbly public performances - did anyone really expect "Blackout" to be some sort of artistic leap forward? Of course not.
