My rankings based on what I've heard so far:
1. Make Me 2. Just Love Me 3. Private Show 4. Clumsy
I love the vocals on Clumsy and I even like the song, just not on the level of the other three. Potential radio fodder though? Maybe.

I just cant connect with her this time around. I understand she's trying to do something different. Im just not really feeling it. None of these songs are amazing. She needs dr luke and max martin back.

She needs dr luke and max martin back. and maybe DANJA (even though 5 of his songs weren't used on Circus but I digress since Britney and her team tend to not use the good shit anyway)

Well so far I'm very, very happy. I can't wait to hear Clumsy tonight, I'm staying away from the leaks.

Can't tell too much from that LQ clip of "Clumsy" yet but I just hope it doesn't have that stuffed-nose helium voice from "Private Show". It still boggles me that anyone OK'd that, especially since the song would be a solid A had it not been for that. It just removes any trace of sensuality/sexiness.
"Make Me" is still one of her hottest singles in years though and up there with the stuff on ITZ/Blackout, but I won't be surprised if this era ends up with the same fate as BJ. There just seems to be absolutely no hype or interest this time around and the album is out in 16 days. Luckily there's SPS on her side these days.

She needs dr luke and max martin back. Considering she sounds way more invested in these tracks than she has in FOREVER, that alone is good enough for me. I'd rather her try new things than give us another generic club banger.

If there was no hype or interest how did Private Show manage to hit Top 5 on iTunes? She's doing Carpool Karaoke, VMAs, iHeartRadio Music Festival, etc. Girl bye.

And two of those are after the album drops. Chill lil girl, I like Britney. I'm just saying this is her most under the radar release yet, she could rely off press statements to build hype for "Circus" and "Femme Fatale", and she at least did that strange desert thing on GMA for BJ. The bulk of the GP have no idea this is coming out.

The bulk of the GP have no idea this is coming out. I'm sorry, but this literally makes no sense. Are you insinuating that "that strange desert thing," which is a really polite way of putting it, was better promo than all of this? BBMA's Jimmy Kimmel Prank Ryan Seacrest interview Weekly promo tracks released Carpool Karoke VMA's iHeartRadio music festival This is absolutely, literally, the most promo she's done for a project since In The Zone. And given some of the things on this list, I guarantee there's more to come - Ellen, GMA, etc. Whatever your opinion of the music, you can't deny she's putting herself out there in a way she simply has not in over a decade. Unrelated to this, but I also think the negative vocal comments are strange. People hate producers putting effects on her voice, so we get tracks with real and raw Britney vocals, unfiltered and PERFECT IMO, and now people complain that they don't like her voice? I know she has a polarizing voice. I love it, I get it if you don't. But it's undeniably HER voice, not a computer, not another singer, on these tracks. This era is literally what fans have been begging for.

Wow at Clumsy-- did not expect it to sound like that based on the comments. It almost has a country-ish twang to it-- it reminds me a little of Beyonce's Daddy Lessons. Her vocals sounds really great here too. She's 3/3 for me so far!

Private show is worst on album so far to me. It just screams album filler in my opinion.

My body was truly not prepared to experience Britney in her FULL vocal glory on this album! I'm in love with her all over again!

This era is literally what fans have been begging for. I definitely agree and like the fact that she's getting back out there on the promo fromt, I'm just saying that at this point it feels like a lot less hype this close to the release date compared to those. But it's apples and oranges at the end of the day because her career in '08 and '11 is different than it is now and she was still riding off radio/the GP's goodwill. Per the vocals, there's a clear difference between PS and MM. But I'll leave it at that- Moving on, just listened to "Clumsy" and I'm back on board. She really wasn't kidding about the melodies this go round, this could actually work as a single

I could hear Kesha on Clumsy. I kind of like it... It's odd but odd enough to work?

So I was having stan daydreams, and thought what if the REAL reason 'Make Me' was delayed because they never got a chance to get Britney and James Corden together to do a Karaoke Carpool... omg would you not die if she did something like that? That would be the best promo ever. I shouldn't even entertain such a thought but :'(

I was really liking Clumsy then the "beat dropped"? Something is really missing from that part because once it is over, I start liking the song again.

Queen of Malboro lights I was really liking Clumsy then the "beat dropped"? Something is really missing from that part because once it is over, I start liking the song again. Mte The HQ made me appreciate it a bit more, but the drop is super underwhelming and it doesn't really go anywhere. The barely there bridge bothers me too. The producer must have done a rush job on the vocal track because the vocal loop goes slightly off beat in places. I feel like it'll be a ton of fun in the club though.

I just realized that, unless there's something that hasn't been announced yet, this will be her first album since Blackout without a TV special leading up to it. Obviously I Am the Femme Fatale was, erm, concerning, but For the Record is iconic and the I Am Britney Jean special was actually one of the few things done well that era. I wonder if there was one planned, but it got canned along with the original Make Me... video.

If there was no hype or interest how did Private Show manage to hit Top 5 on iTunes? She's doing Carpool Karaoke, VMAs, iHeartRadio Music Festival, etc. Girl bye. And two of those are after the album drops. Chill lil girl, I like Britney. I'm just saying this is her most under the radar release yet, she could rely off press statements to build hype for "Circus" and "Femme Fatale", and she at least did that strange desert thing on GMA for BJ. The bulk of the GP have no idea this is coming out. I'd say BJ was her most under the radar release. And the desert thing was the day BJ came out. The day Glory comes out she's doing Karaoke and VMAs that weekend, so..

Yeah... I think some of you guys are clutching at straws. Make Me is great, the rest just isn't quality material. Clumsy is EDMinaj rubbish, that drop has no tune!
OBVIOUSLY will reserve full judgment for the album, but for a campaign/project that I would imagine has quite a significant budget behind it, this all feels so amateur.
