I can totally get the Scarface reference for the video. I can’t wait for this! It’s like Hung Up x Deeper and Deeper.
-
I don’t feel like there are any fillers on the album. Sure some songs are better than others but as a whole the who album works together.
-
First impressions - the album kicks ass. It definitely feels like a classic Madonna album. ie. something only she could produce/release. Still need a few more listens to really appreciate the songs but on only one listen this is how I rate:
Medellín (with Maluma) - 9
Dark Ballet - 10
God Control - 10
Future (ft. Quavo) - 8
Batuka - 8
Killers Who Are Partying - 8
Crave (ft. Swae Lee) - 10
Crazy - 8
Come Alive - 7
Extreme Occident - 8
Faz Gostoso (ft. Anitta) - 10
Bitch I’m Loca (ft. Maluma) - 10
I Don’t Search I Find - 9
Looking for Mercy - 10
I Rise - 7
Bold were the ones I wanted to listen to again first.
Faz Gostoso and Bitch, I’m Loca are

I don't like the male voice
it feels more like a feat. Madonna song.
Yeah I agree. I think he's a bit too prominent and dominates the song overall that she comes across as a feat rather than the main performer. It's not a bad track but the weakest for me so far. Her parts and the music itself are great but I can see why it was a bonus track.
7/10

Who's the male voice?
is it Youssou N'Dour?
And D’Santiago brought together Madonna and Kimi Djabate, an Afrobeat musician from another former Portuguese colony, Guinea-Bissau. He recorded a bonus song for her album titled Ciao Bella.

BTW is that a Fatman Scoop vocal sample?

Physical CD > Itunes Flac > Spotify/Apple (Although you can increase the bitrate which might be the same as Flac?)
That's my understand but happy to be corrected.

Out of the 3 bonus tracks this one is my favorite!
At first I was a bit taken aback because I did listen to the demo quite a lot and I actually really like it. After a couple listens though I think the official version is an improvement and definitely a lot more "layered". I love the flute and the kicked up bass. It does sound like the same vocals though which I think she could've have re-recorded or adjusted slightly on some parts. (A bit too high pitched but that's only a minor criticism.)
10/10 for me. Would've happily had this on the album proper.

4 hours to go! Can't wait to listen on spotify as i get ready for work then in my headphones as i sit on the bus for 45min on the way to work!
My commute is an hour so should give me enough time to get through it!
-
Forgive me friends but I've cracked and decided to listen to the 3 bonus tracks. Simply because I don't expect them to be officially available tomorrow on Spotify/Apple Music.
Still leaving the album proper for tomorrow though.

Reviews like the Uncut one just serve to remind us that no matter what she releases she’ll always have her haters who’ll dismiss her no matter what. Having a look at their website / reviews they seem more wanky and pretentious than Pitchfork. I didn’t think that was possible. Fuck ‘em.
-
Almost there. I won’t listen at midnight but I’ll be up early and listen on my way to work. Can’t wait! The comments and positivity from people who’ve listened already is really promising!
-
Bullshit. Someone’s been watching too many TV shows and movies.
“Two black cars” a whole swat team for copyright infringement. Pretty sure they send a letter first.
-
I had a look at the “top albums” on metacritic and they are so wanky.
-
Waiting until the album comes out officially. The only thing I download now are demos/unreleased songs that aren’t available on streaming services.
-
There’s only like 4 days until it comes out. I’ll wait for it to come out officially.
-
This is great! Can't remember the last time she had a full length prime time interview in Aus! Hopefully it's the entire hour!
-
Crave - 11
Dark Ballet - 11
Soltera - 11
Medellin - 10
Future - 9
I Rise - 8.5
They’re all different and I love them all. Can’t wait for the album.

"English" would have made more sense. Anguish is somewhat manageable...
I don't know cos the following line is "god is on my side" which is definitely a Joan of Arc reference and JOA fought against the "english" i thought?

I thought it was "English" not "anguish".

The use of the term rape as a metaphor is to describe the massive violation of oneself in a different context. Hence the definition of metaphor. Fuck these simpletons.

i was raped man and i think the way she uses the word rape is tacky and tasteless and cringe, she should retire it because having a lukewarm interview on the new york times isn't the same as getting raped... end of
So her experience wasn't "rapey" enough for you. Seriously fuck off. This isn't even a Madonna issue. Honestly how the fuck do metaphors help rape victims. It's like saying people can't say "killed" in case you know someone who was murdered. Rather than focus on actual victims and their problems lets focus on the insignificant. The "right" wing do it too. You can't use war as a metaphor because its offensive. This shit really fucking irks me.

That said, I think Madonna is overreacting and to publicly shame someone like that is nasty. Maybe she had a bad day, did the label send her numbers for albums presales or something.
I genuinely liked you back in the day but you have legit turned into a proper fuckhead. This comment alone is the epitome of cognitive dissonance. Fuck off back to the other shore and the riverwide circle jerk.
Your attempts at being an intellectual are so pathetic I can understand why you're such a miserable human being.
Before hearing Vogue you probably didn't even know who Bette Davis or Marlene Dietrich were and now you have the audacity to look down on Madonna for not meeting your absurd expectations. Seriously go fuck yourself.

There was headlines about the rape comment in the original article but they clearly didn’t have the intended reaction. Now they’re ramping it up with the second use of the term. They are clearly trying to get the SJW fired up. Fuck them.

I feel like this song will be the seed for the current pop stars - Ariana, Taylor, Miley etc.
Give it a couple years and this sound will be on the radio. Kind of like Hung Up was the precursor to Gaga and Kesha..
