  1. Fair point. The new RH fits better in the context of the new album and as an album closer, so I can see some logic behind her choice of changes. However I still don't think it is the better of the two, and the Avicii sound is what she asked for, that's like saying, Ray of Light is a William Orbit record.

    ... maybe she just wanted some songs that she could get her guitar out for on tour :semifunny:

  2. Sorry but there is nothing that could convince me that the original Rebel Heart demo is not the best version. There was a general consensus among fans on different boards that the song should've been lead single or second single and with good reason, it had all the ingredients of a perfect pop song. The album version simply has no bang, and no power.

    "Best" is obviously subjective. She wanted to make a Madonna record, not an Avicii record.

  3. ooops... it's here...

    BEAUTIFUL SCARS demo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BEAUTIFUL SCARS final

    REBEL HEART first leaked demo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> REBEL HEART final

    WASH ALL OVER ME all demos leaked >>>>>>>>>>>>>> WASH ALL OVER ME final

    BORROWED TIME demo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BORROWED TIME final

    i really don't get why they tried really hard to remove any Avicii sound in these demos (except BS)...

    GHOSTTOWN for 2nd single after hearing all of this...

    No. All finals are better than demos. Even BS Im getting into the new version. i think we are just too used to the old ones. But from a start to finish sonic journey, all the final versions are awesome.

    Not sure about singles, theres so many that are great. Im thinking Inside Out coudl be a single.

  5. From people's comments thus far, I predict that this will join LAP,ROL, and COADF to give her a critically acknowledged masterpiece in four consecutive decades!

    Not saying that I think those are her best albums, and Music received basically the same acclaim as ROL. However the critical consensus is that she has three unassailable masterpieces, one 80s one 90s and one aughts. Now, she may very well add a fourth.

    I hope so too - the thing is that what the general public and critics consider 'great albums' are really only an assessment of the strength of the singles. Not every song has to be amazing (everyone expects some fillers), but the singles must be amazing. And the singles must sell. It will be interesting to see what singles we get from RH. I think WAOM and Messiah could be singles if they get the right mix.

  6. According to LindebergBoy in the Madonna-Infinity forum, who seems to know what he's talking about, the newly leaked demos are mislabeled.

    "Living for Love" is actually demo 3, while "Messiah" is demo 4. Both are earlier demos than the ones that leaked in December.

    The new "Wash All Over Me" demo is demo 3, i.e. a later mix than the ones that leaked in December. Demo 4 (Avicii's final mix) remains unleaked.

    interesting. although the new LFL demo sounds closer to the final than the December demo.

  7. If I had to bet, I would guess that the surprise sample of an old Madonna song at the end of Holy Water would be "your love's coming down like.... rain!" from Rain, but if anybody knows what it is, don't tell me if I'm right or wrong cuz I wanna be surprised. :D

    that would be great.

    in the background of the HW demo you can hear 4 minutes playing, but i dont think that's it, as the rumour is that it is a 'classic' song, and 4 minutes is too recent.
