Well i'm almost 20, tall, blonde, work in and office but its slow at the moment so i thought i'd give review writing another go. Sure i used to make more money on here though... 6p for something which took an hour and a half to write is depressing.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a HUGE fan of Madonna's. She was all I listened to as a child. I bought, listened to and loved every other album she made and I though this would be no exception. Boy was I wrong...
It starts off great with the fantastic 'Music'. Fantastic song. After that it goes downhill so fast that I wasn't sure if it would ever stop.
All other tracks on this album, with the exception of 'American Pie' and 'Don't tell me' are tuneless, bland, totaly unoriginal pieces of crap.
I mean, come on. What does she expect? She used to be the most fantastic singer in existance. But now she seems to have given up. The songs on this album are a huge letdown after the fantastic tracks from earlier on in her career. Who can forget 'Like a Virgin' and 'Holiday', or the more recent 'Frozen' and 'Beautiful Stranger'? And I have to mention this even though harly anyone remembers it but what about 'Human Nature'? That was truly one of her best songs.
All the songs on this album sound the same. If it wasn't for the odd decent songs ('American Pie', 'Don't tell me' and 'Music' then it would be possible to believe that its all one big boring song.
And what happened to the controversial 'What it feels like for a girl'? Fantastic video, fantastic song, well, the remixed version that was released. The album version is, to put it frankly, as bad as the rest of the album.
Well, I'm sad to say it but this album is a disapointment. Its like Madonna only made the effort on the songs she planned to release and couldn't be bothered with the album songs. This is not what I've come to expect from her, on all her other albums all songs have been high quality.
This album also includes the first cover version Madonnas done (well, the first I've known about). I didn't really think of Madonna as the kind of person who'd do cover versions. Normally her songs are original. Its not that its a particularly bad song, in fact I quite like it but this seems to be the song that has transformed Madonna. Her musci is now quite unoriginal and her songs sound like something that comes from a crappy manufactured band.
This album has definately made me look at Madonna in a different light. I definately won't be rushing out to buy her next album. In fact, I'm considering selling this one because I've only been able to force myself to listen through it twice.
I'm hoping that maybe this was a one off, that at the time she was very busy. It could be possible as she was pregnant and planning a wedding at the time it was released. I realy hope that this is what happened because it would be a shame if we have heard he last of Madonnas good music.
All of the songs have quite fast beats, but very little tune.
Anyway, that'll have to be the end of my opinion because I'm finding it difficult to write in detail as I've only listened to the album twice. I tried to listen to it while writing this but it was putting me off.

I have to agree with you. I don't really like her cowgirl phrase just hopes it passes quickly.

I agree with you - Madonna's music has become pretty bland - her earlier stuff was so much better. There are some good tracks on here but they are all down to the production and nothing to do with the actual quality of the songwriting. Let's face it, though - Madonna could fart in a can and people would still buy it just 'cos she is who she is!
The new millennium saw a change in Madonna as, ever at the forefront of popular music ... more
trends, she took the earth mother vibes ofRay Of Lightand transposed them to the heart of the dancefloor. The end product,Music, is a wondrous mixture of the familiar...
