    Now that the dust has settled, where would RH rank in your all time M albums list?

    I think it says a lot when people were like "Who's Nas?"

    Also there is a difference between:

    "I like the demo version of this track, I'm glad I have the opportunity to listen to it."

    And

    "OMG she ruined the album the demos were so much better. I don't know why people like the album as it is. Everyone knows the demos are better. You're just stupid if you think that shitty album versions are better than the demos. FACT! Fuck black people music! Demos!! Wahhhhhhhh!!!"

    ^ I've been flippin' corrected! :biggrin:

    I'll take your assessment on the quality. She does look strong though.

    There's a good basis, my assumption that she's just learnt the skill is based on the bent arms and legs, and also her head pops out when she's supposed to be in a handstand position ( I'm a gymnastics judge, so I see these things right away :lol: )

    The roundoff is pretty good though. :)

    Interesting discussion here...

    I just don't see how some of you can put super vintage, super dated sound albums over albums like American Life, Confessions and Rebel Heart! I think with each generation pop music gets more polished and perfected. Some of the 80s stuff is unbearable to listen to because of the amount of cheese!! But that's just my opinion so don't burn me please! :lmao:

    As far as I'm concerned, "new" doesn't necessarily mean "better". It can, but it's certainly not a rule in any way. I mean : there is current music out there that is unbearable to listen to because of the amount of cheese too, yet it has nothing to do with the 80s.

    Also, the amount of music that samples or rehashes stuff from previous decades is impressive - it's been going on for years now, it's all about recycling, and a 2015-ish doesn't change much to a piece of music that comes from an 80s track.

    Of course there's some amazing (brand new) music being produced nowadays too; in my opinion, the year of production of this album or that one is not that important : music is music, and that's it. What makes the difference is whether the artist is willing to make it sound "current" at the time it's released or not - and that's what will contribute make some music sound dated after a certain amount of time.

    I also don't see how some people here put Rebel Heart at the bottom of their list. It just puzzles me. The album has 19 single worthy tracks that are fun, lyrical, catchy, spiritual, provocative, sexy, you name it!!! Her vocals are gorgeous! Production is on point! It's the best shit she's ever done and it's current! Plus, it's in the era that IS HAPPENING TODAY RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES!! We are lucky to have Madonna staying on top this long and putting out music that is absolute bliss to the ears. How can some of you dwell on past albums for dear life is beyond me. Yes, her first albums are classic gems for sure! Legendary and nothing can ever take that away! But Rebel Heart is a work that comes from this woman we've all been following for years and her legacy is most evident specifically in this album! And this era is not even over yet. The tour hasn't started. Madonna still has a lot to offer for the world to celebrate. Then some of you put Rebel Heart at the bottom of your preferred Madonna albums. Without hating on me, or just saying my post is dumb, please, for the love of god, explain to me this crazy madness! Because to me Rebel Heart is number one for 3 reasons: music is amazing, the era is amazing and it's representative of who Madonna is today.

    I see your point. There's a couple of contradictions there, though : on the hand, you say : "It's the best shit she's ever done" and on the other hand : "How can some of you dwell on past albums for dear life is beyond me".

    Well, if people dwell on certain albums, it's basically because they think it's the best music she ever produced, as simple as that.

    I think the whole Rebel Heart era is very exciting, it's always great to see her back, performing, promoting her stuff, going on tour. I really enjoy a good part of the songs on the album. But if you asked me what is the best music Madonna ever released, it's not Rebel Heart that comes to my mind, although it's very fresh is my memory.

    I like Erotica, American Life or Madonna a.k.a The First Album better. Not because I have a soft spot for those as a fan, but because I think the music is better on those. But that's just me :)

    Katypatra, now I love your passion for Madonna and always think it is wonderful when young people love Madonna. Your enthusiasm is fantastic. However, you are doing exactly what you are telling others off about. Criticising other's choices and trashing certain records. Calling older albums super dated, super vintage and unbearable cheese for example. Harsh words indeed. Plus why can't people just accept other's views and not get personally offended. Ditto with people completely trashing records because it is not their style. Does not mean the music is dreadful, just not what they individually like.

    I mean, Like a Virgin is a special wonderful pop album to me - yet the majority of people have put it as their last choice. I don't feel offended, annoyed or want to tell them off - that is their view that they have every right to have. Rebel Heart is magnificent to my ears and I also loved MDNA - her last 2 albums. Just enjoy it all if you can and don't worry about who loves what.

    Couldn't have said it better :)

    Fuck that! Madonna wouldn't give a shit about that old queen grandpa thinks she wants/needs new fans, young fans. What do you think all those apps for the past two music videos were about?! She is basically screaming at you old farts get with the fucking times!! And all you can do is complain about a single cover?! Like who gives a fuck about single covers?! lol

    Well, Madonna seems to care enough to come up with one.
