Guest Lum Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'm just curious. 'Cuz I love the album, but I see a lot of M fans that pretend it doesn't exist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluejean Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Yes it is, even Madonna referred to it as an album once. It's as much of an album as Batman is a Prince album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Jan Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Of course it is an album ! It was music from and inspired by Dick Tracy and it was all Madonna tracks. Anyway, even if people did not like that style of music ( I personally loved it ) how could you not acknowledge a Madonna album that includes the iconic Vogue.

jonski43 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 It's one of my least listened to albums by M but I still like it. Back In Business is fantastic. Sooner of Later should have been a single. I love He's A Man too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love He's A Man too. Jonski, Back in business, Sooner or Later and He's a man are probably my 3 favourites as well from that album. Especially Back in Business, I just love that song with a passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic_system Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 It's an album and it's a masterpiece. Back in 1994 (Q interview) she said it was her favorite album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 of course it's an album (even if the majority of the community here, don't know why, doesn't think so and often ommits it from our various album charts....)....one of my favourites.... all wonderful track....i love BIN, she sings it with such a force and passion....but he's a man and More too... and the sweetness of WCYL?

johnnox Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Its a studio recorded soundtrack album, but I don't really think of it as a 'proper' release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 it's not a soundtrack album...it contains 3 songs (out of 11, 12 if you consider NIFY part 1 and 2, two different tracks) from the soundtrack.... and what is a "proper" release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnox Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 The title of the album is I'm Breathless: Music From and Inspired by the film Dick Tracy. That makes it a soundtrack album of sorts. A 'proper' release is something like Like A Prayer or Erotica, not an album inspired by a film. In MY opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetiver Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I always took it as a proper release, Dick Tracy has indeed his own Soundtrack, without any M. tracks. It has been recorded in a studio, all brand new songs, it is indeed inspired in Dick Tracy, as every album has an inspiration. It has always been a "bastard" son album but i have to say i love it, for me Back in Business and He's a Man my favourites on the album, leaving aside Vogue of course the Masterpiece of the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acko Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 A concept album rather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Yes a concept album but still a "proper" release and like cosmic said, one of her favs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just put on He's A Man as it's years since I've listened to it. It's soooo good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistachristopha Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 yes, its a proper album, i dont understand why people don't consider it an album, when even madonna does. why we're at least, let's say ray of light isn't a proper album either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernatural Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 It's an album it just as a specific theme/ concept/ idea and is also a movie tie-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horn Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 It's an album and outsold AL, HC & MDNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolidayGuy Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 It's a concept album- an album of all-new material, is how I like to put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonoka Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 lol So here we go again with this annual discussion. How many times did we already have a thread like this? The fact is that many consider it a studio album, many don't. There will never be an agreement within the fan base regarding this topic. End of story.

Phineaspoe Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 It's an album and outsold AL, HC & MDNA. Haha what a way to put it in perspective. Yes, it's an album, and I love it!! Hoping for another one, one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HaveASit Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Well, it has Vogue, Hanky Panky, Now I'm Following You, Sooner or Later, Something to Remember and More. So, yes, I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 for me its a soundtrack , its too heavily tied with the movie (which is soo boring) LAP EROTICA are the real albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomwiggz Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Although I agree that it's an album, the fact that it's all inspired by that one movie sort of takes something away from it for me. Almost like it had to be only one thing. I understand what a concept album is, but this almost seems like "if we could put more songs into this movie these would be them"...and I'm not so into the movie anyways. It's an album, I just don't look at it as a Madonna album, almost like an album she was enlisted to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
