Advantages: Reflection Disadvantages: A tougher year than most, for me
It is always nice at this time of the year to reflect on the year gone by, and I have contributed to this category ever since someone (Zoe, I think) first started it. This year it has turned out fitting that my 250th review should coincide with the end of the year, as it means I can reflect on my last 12 months and not have to worry about writing something more creative!

Advantages: Polished and meaningful electronic pop Disadvantages: Not disposable enough for some, not sophisticated enough for others
"Ray Of Light" is the 7th album by Madonna and was released in 1998. It won 4 Grammy Awards, marked a change in musical style and helped revive the Material Girl's career.

I enjoy the reflective and meaningful lyrics present in the album that show a more intimate side of Madonna, although they are never going to win any awards. Overall the tracks are fairly ...
