Disadvantages: none in particular

...to understand the reason behind the enormous status he has gained in his native Argentina and the whole of Latin America.

Advantages: Excellent pictures inside
Disadvantages: No Rain

...with this album is that it is missing many a Madonna hit. The ones I would have added would have been Rain and American Pie (Madonna's ninth number one). Rain is a masterpiece and American Pie is pritty bad, but it did get to number one. 1. Deeper and Deeper (7" Edit) 2. Erotica (Radio Edit) 3. Human Nature (Radio Version) 4. Secret (Edit) 5. Don't Cry For Me Argentina (Radio Edit) 6. Bedtime Story (Edit) 7. The Power of Goodbye 8. Beautiful Stranger (William Orbit Radio Edit) 9. Frozen (Edit) 10. Take a Bow (Edit) 11. Ray of Light (Radio Edit) 12. Don't Tell Me 13. What It Feels Like For A Girl 14. Drowned World / Substitute For Love 15. Music 1. Deeper and Deeper (7" Edit) This is my favourite Madonna song on the album. It is an absolute floorfiller with disco strings, pom-poms and guitar riffs. This is one of the rare occasions Madonna sings... Read review
