Madame X album general discussion

Maybe she wanted to build up the album with stronger songs when the album is released and she is right, but nowadays people are getting bored so fast, most of them saying Medellin it's ok but nothing wow and WTF is that Future song and it's sad because they already think this is how the albums sounds... Anyway... 

I think she was pursuaded to follow a steaming campaign from her new PR firm which I understand-ish....she obviously wanted God Control as a lead and who can blame her....she filmed that sing first before anything else but she has kept it under wraps.

I agree. The other material on the album are far superior to what's been released thus far. 

Im loving these songs Madonna is a genius once again but I can't help feeling a tad diappointed she hasn't used other songs for the promo campaign as I think the public would of liked them better.  

It's like the album tracks are so special, unique magical and so her...but she gave the most generic songs to the public, the ones which are the least special.

A strange decision.

My ratings for the songs other than the already released ones:

10/10 Faz Gostoso - a total summer bop. Meant for a sunny day outside or a hot night in a latin gay bar.

10/10 Crazy - cute midtempo bop. Love her Portuguese here again.

12/10 God Control - literally disco perfection. Adore it to pieces. Best song on the album.

10/10 Bitch I'm Loca - if Bitch I'm Madonna and Medellin had a baby, here you go. A total bop and I love that they have their trilogy. 

11/10 I Don't Search I Find - so brilliant, it deserves a score above 10. Second best after God Control.

08/10 Come Alive - cute, very mellowy. I can vibe to this easily.

09/10 Killers Who Are Partying - very interesting track. Definitely feel the Fado influence. I think this one will sound better live though because of the instrumentation.

10/10 Extreme Occident - this is a beautiful little gem. I love how pure and innocent her voice sounds here. And the production throughout parts of the song make me feel like I'm traveling around the world. Lovely.

08/10 Batuka - love the production and it's very tribal. Might need a few more listens to grow though.

10/10 Looking For Mercy. This is gorgeous. How did critics not like this that much? This is such a mellifluously beautiful track. I love lush tracks where she's introspective and personal like this.

So overall ranking for me so far (seeing as the bonus tracks aren't available):

01 God Control

02 I Don't Search I Find

03 Dark Ballet

04 Medellin

05 Looking For Mercy

06 Faz Gostoso

07 Extreme Occident

08 Bitch I'm Loca

09 Crazy

(Soltera)

10 I Rise

11 Killers Who Are Partying

12 Come Alive

13 Batuka

14 Crave

 

15 Future

I love the experimentation behind this album and this WILL end up on my top 5 favorite albums of hers with SEVERAL repeated listens! She's introducing several listeners to sounds that they don't normally listen to, and she needs to be commended for that AND MORE!

Madame x the strategist....I feel somehow she has done it brilliantly this time.

Has she? Keeping the strongest songs from the public when promoting her new album? Don't you think something like God Control or I don't search I find would of gone down a storm at the Eurovision and generated far more interest for Madame X over Future ? 

Hate to be critical this album is amazing but just my thoughts.

I don’t understand why there are threads for songs that are not officially released yet and people are commenting on them based on illegal sharing that is violating the copyright. I find it quite incoherent.

Oh I'm excited don't get me wrong just surprised that the songs she has put out to form the promo before release are not the strongest....but the era isn't over yet !!

Vinyl HQ Rip, except Faz Gostoso

It's literally less than 4 days untill we all get the album, I'd say it's not worth it listening or downloading any 'leak' specially if it's a questionable vinyl rip.

You're 100% right. Even I skipped (for first time) through a lot of the released songs (except Medellin) thinking for first time I don't like any of this new stuff. Now hearing the stronger tracks I'm like WTF?! What are they actually thinking releasing mediocre tracks first?

I’ve been waiting for this for 4 years and this kind of Madonna for almost 16 years. I have the deluxe album and the double one pre ordered. I’ll listen to this until my ears bleed.

I had high hopes but wasn’t expecting THIS. This album is insanely good! As mixed as it is in terms of style, it all comes together amazingly well. I’m almost speechless. I usually don’t like to say “the best since...” but this album IS the best in a long time imo.

I don't know why, but I feel really sad that M's fans are listening to the leaks after last time and how upset it made her . After the RH leaks we should respect her and WAIT.

Encouraging leaks and sharing amongst 'fans'...I swear she must hate her fans sometimes. We are literally a couple of days away now. Can we not just enjoy the album as she intended?

I am frothing at the mouth reading everyone’s reviews and love for the album! I am (painfully) waiting for the official release on Friday for my first listen with a bottle of champagne, but please keep the reviews coming! Almost there 🤩

We don't share anything. I didn't share anything to anyone, not even to my closest friends. I just listened for myself because there are only 3 days until the official release. We didn't do anything wrong. 99% of us already pre-ordered many formats of the album. 

I think it's quite an exaggeration. It's like you're living in US and the album is released in NZ and say: wait until 00:00 AM in your country, otherwise Madonna will be so mad on you. Really. We are not a month or months in advance.
