  1. Yes! It's sick! If only this was a single instead of... anyway, THIS IS HARDCORE RAVEDONNA! :headbang:

    This would have made all of us very happy, but it wouldn't do well on U.S. radio at all. It's too techno/weird. It's a good buzz single though. They really need to let the public hear some of these the way they released "The Edge of Glory," "Hair," etc. from Gaga's album. In fact, TEOG only became a single because of the great response. So if they released something like IA to iTunes and it shot into the Top 10, radio might pick it up and it could become a hit. Who knows, maybe they're planning something like that in the coming weeks.

  2. This is what I'm saying. When Madonna does something right/hot/interesting, I will GIVE IT UP to her. I hope the rest of the album sounds like this. And honestly, I can get past the cheesy mainstream sound of GGW. But not those lyrics/vocals.

  3. I liked many of the remixes during the AL and COADF era. I also liked the Celebration/Revolver remixes, but that probably had more to do with the fact that I hate the original versions. The HC remixes did suck though. It's the only era where I don't own any of the singles.

  4. :thumbsup:

    They were by no means perfect, but sometimes I feel like Madonna fans are similar to housewives that get cheated on by their spouse and then only blame the mistress and not the husband. In the end, M is responsible for her career. If she has some disappointments due to her mistakes, maybe she will come back better next time.

    I mean you can blame "Warner Bros." for a lot things, but in the end it was just a revolving door of different people and executives. The same people who were making decisions for Hard Candy were not the same ones who were making decisions for AL, ROL, LAP, etc. Anyway, it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to listen to CS and 4M and decide which one would make a better single. The fact that the leaked version of CS was identical to the released version was reason enough NOT to release it as a single, let alone the lead single. Unfortunately, Madonna/Interscope wound up making that same mistake with GMAYL. Except, I think I like CS more? It's at least listenable if you ignore the lyrics and dated Pharrell sound. The hook is good.

  5. I remember both CS and GI2M being discussed as album titles, not lead singles. From what I recall reading, Madonna wanted CS and the label wanted 4M. I remember this vividly because while I had issues with "Die Another Day," "American Life," and "Hung Up" (DAD and HU went on to grow on me enormously), it was the CS rumor when I realized that Madonna had truly lost her good instincts.

  6. Meh. I was really just making a joke, but really, I don't believe there's anyone living today who's never liked anything Madonna has released prior to GMAYL. It's like statistically not possible. Unless it's a Nicki or M.I.A. fan. There's nothing about GMAYL that Madonna hasn't done before, and better. "Cherish" and "Beautiful Stranger" both have a '60s vibe, for example.

  7. I totally buy that Madonna wanted GMAYL and the label didn't. However the rest of that "review" is questionable. I doubt anyone at the label is pissed at M.I.A., and I doubt they'd remove her from the song. The album is done. Some of those descriptions sound whack, but that horrible "dog without a bone" lyric is definitely something M would write!
