I remember playing "The Beat Goes On" and making my stepdad listen to it because of the crackling effect. I thought something was wrong with the CD!

I’d honestly never heard - or heard of - the All Seeing I version of The Beat Goes On before today in this thread, so I found Britney’s cover to be such a ‘funky, cool, avant-garde’ outlier in her discography for ages. It’s such an oddity for the album it’s on, but it sounded so ahead of its time and like a sneak preview of some of her later, post-teens material. For me, it was an early sign that she was going to be a pop star unafraid of risks.
I've never listened to the album in full but then again I'm not really a fan of any of the singles.
I understand Baby is an absolute classic pop song of course, but I can probably count on two hands how many times I've listened to it in the past 10 years, it's personally a single of hers that I generally don't have any interest in revisiting frequently (don't kill me).
The first two eras don't really do much for me (bar Lucky and Stronger), it was the Britney album and I'm a Slave 4 U that got my attention.

I just don’t understand. Like I can’t comprehend. My mind isn’t able to process this.
Speaking of From the Bottom of My Broken Heart, did you guys know about this song?
They use the exact same melody for the chorus (1:06) and apparently got away with it because nothing happened, it was a hit all over Latin America I think and I used to love it as a kid but had no idea about the Britney sample until a few months ago when listening to her debut. It’s still a bop and a half though.

Yass, this is a 2000s classique in Mexico.
Her nose is outside too. Plus it’s far from anyone so the mask is pointless anyway.
The Spotify retconning of making I'll Never Stop Loving You and Autumn Goodbye part of the album should be annoying and a slight on my childhood memories, but just...isn't. They are great additions.
It's a nice album, but ...Baby One More Time isn't avant garde at all ddddd but poptimism, I guess.
At least they didn’t lie with the last bit.
The locals may have hammered it to death, but it's still one of the best pop songs + videos of all time. What a legend.
