I love listening to Madonna when it sounds like she has a cold. Whether singing or talking I love it.It's the standout track on MDNA for me. I love the sound of her voice, even if it's because she had a cold when recording it.
-
Why are many here insisting that if she were to tour with b-sides it would be an unplugged styled tour? Madonna would create the same lavish tours she always has with a less recognizable set list of songs.
-
After Drowned World, I thought she would always be daring in her set list. Now it seems to be seventy-percent the new album and everything else a hit or semi-hit single.
-
I love Falling Free. It's very pretty and much needed.
-
Pud is keeping his secret. You want us all to create amateur Madonna walls that look inferior to yours?
-
How? Personal software? Or you went to a printer?I printed and did it myself. Even has the Sire logo on it!!!
-
So it's a agreed! We're all moving in to Pud's house.

Simplicity is the secret to timelessness.Yes!! It's so simple and yet so perfect. This still looks cool in 2015, it's just timeless

I love reading about Madonna as a creative. No one thinks of a photo shoot as a creative exercise for the subject. But it really is.
-
I wanna move in. That's awesome. Of course my photo would be from the SEX-Erotica era. -
He has a small penis. Moving on.

I didn't think this thread would become a thing. And now that it has I'm embarrassed that my true feelings about Rebel Heart are surfacing so soon. I rather say nothing negative about it. And save my venom exclusively for MDNA. But what Rebel Heart has taught me is that Madonna is no longer seeking to prove anything to herself nor her critics musically. She is too comfortable making the music that is expected of someone in her genre.While it's true that Rebel Heart has an "everything but the kitchen sink" approach sonically, I don't think it lacks a theme or an overall feel. In the end the album is a lot like her 90s work in that its a very thoughtful, poetic piece of work. I love MDNA but it doesn't feel like an album that she spent a lot of time with (let's save your MDNA trashing for a more appropriate thread E Blu, I'm not in the mood to read it AGAIN ). I think most of her work is consistent with its themes though. Hard Candy actually feels like a consistent album thematically, and so does Confessions & American Life. MDNA is an outlier.
I think RH just has a lot of different musical styles on it, which is not a bad thing at all and I applaud her experimentation with that. That doesn't necessarily mean that Madonna phoned it in, which is what your first sentence seemed to imply. That, to me, sounds like an outrageous claim considering everything we NOW know about this album.
-
Though musically superior to MDNA, Rebel Heart is another example of Madonna going through the motions. It feels shapeless. Any number of songs could be selected and sequenced. Nothing about it feels concentrated. Maybe Madonna is better when she has less options to work from in the recording process. She seemed to think everything was a good idea this time around.MDNA perhaps. What makes you think that about Rebel Heart?
-
It was clear my statement was directed at MDNA and Rebel Heart.I'd like to know how her COADF and Music incarnations lacked identity as well.
-
Kurt, I will always prefer 90's Madonna over any of her incarnations prior and after.Sorry, but MDNA and RH are not alike as far as their sounds go. Sonically, RH is cohesive and there are central themes that run through the album. She's never been so vulnerable and open as she is on RH and the production is very "full" and lush. As I mentioned before, melodies, song structures and chorus' approach her 80's peak......there is nothing catchier than an 80's Madonna song. It's a proper album in every sense!
They lack identity.They're completely different albums. I don't see anything in common with them at ALL.
-
You have no taste. She made a proper album with Erotica. Rebel Heart and MDNA feel too similar to each other.I have to say, I think her hooks, melodies and bridges on RH completely slaughter Erotica.....yep, I went there. In that regard, Erotica was a step down from her 80's glory. RH has some of her strongest since the 80's IMO.
-
My preference will always be a producer's home studio (Erotica and Confessions). Something causal yet focused on a definite sound.
-
No.Closer to American Life maybe.
No.Kind of like American Life, loved by fans, hated by the critics
It is.No. Erotica was more sophisticated.
-
I no longer care who the producer is. If Madonna does not have a strong opinion about the musical direction of a project. Who cares? When Madonna made Erotica, Shep Pettibone said, she was specific about what she wanted the sound to be. They found the style in the recording process.

Holy Water would make my track listing.
-
My favorite song.
-
Inglewood, California. I think they purposely under stock these days. Because physical releases sell less.Which Target? Where? Did they have enough copies?
-
Yes.im confused, the one who scanned your copy was an employee right?
Never thought I was breaking up his boredom or if he was mildly interested.He is supposed to know if it's new.. anyhow, i think he is just making conversation with you
