You can bet on it. I would say they will push for a new album to be ready by 2029.

Why are Japan releases delayed? Is it due to the added packaging? Seems odd to me.

Well he’s getting what he deserves. His book reviews are in the toilet. He’s entitled to his opinion but the “review” was definitely vindictive. Its called FAFO.

Well, I bought the Afterhours edition this morning on iTunes and hopefully others will do the same thing so we can keep the numbers up this week. I'm sure before it's over with there is going to be a full remix album or an album with the 8 tracks M discussed with Graham Norton. I don't think she would have mentioned them the WAY she did if they weren't in the forefront of her mind, but that doesn't mean Warner will fund anything if they don't feel the need, but I would think they would because it would sell.

It showed up for me at like 8am EDT on the dot, which is weird.

Oh, I know it's cheap, it's not the price that's the issue for me, it's that I don't need that many digital versions of the album - maybe I'm just weird cause I'd like all of the CII stuff in the same exact place in my library. I have definitely supported her in sales this time - bought at least 2 copies of everything physical except the Absolut cassette thing cause it was just... odd. TBH this is the first time I've ever bought any digital music. Now, if she releases a total remix album and even if it's download only then I'm definitely here for it.

It's about Joan, no question, but I don't think it's as harsh as it comes across. It seems like in the first half of the song she's more angry - perhaps this is the younger Madonna and in the second half she seems more at peace but still has some strong emotions. As far as saving her dad's emotions, honestly, at this point of his life he's probably not really listening to her albums and probably never really has all that much.

Not there yet and it's one I won't be purchasing. I would rather just buy the remixes TBH. I did purchase the intrumental yesterday because it is genuinely unique, but the Grindr, Icon, video, etc. is just bloat that offers items you can get elsewhere. I'll hold out to see if a defninitve edition surfaces later on. At this point I don't think Warner could go wrong with a phyical release with the 16 track CD, a CD with the remixes, and a CD with the instrumentals. A 3 disc set would sell.

100% That tour shot the album into the stratosphere. I think we can all agree that Stuart is a genius and they work well together and frankly if I were Madonna I would keep him around to be executive producer on all future projects. I think he's one of the few producers this century that can be real with her and she respects his opinions.

1. "I Feel So Free" 9/10 2. "Good for the Soul" 10/10 3. "One Step Away" 9/10 4. "Bring Your Love" (with Sabrina Carpenter) 8/10 I prefer the After Hours mix and think it would have been better on the album 5. "Danceteria" 8/10 One of the best on the album, but I have to deduct some points because some of the names she drops no one knows who they are and the real magic is in the hook 6. "Read My Lips" (with Feid) 7/10 This would be higher if Feid wasn't present - I don't think his part is at all necessary and takes away from the track 7. "Everything" 7/10 Brillaint except for the "I dont f*ck with it" is totally uncessary and is distracting 8. "Love Sensation" 9/10 9. "Love Without Words" 8/10 10. "Bizarre" (with Martin Garrix) 9/10 11. "School" 7/10 Just a classic Madonna album track that seems to reuse previous ideas a little too heavily. This could have easily been on REBEL HEART 12. "Fragile" 10/10 13. "My Sins Are My Savior" (featuring Stromae) 10/10 14. "Betrayal" 8/10 15. "The Test" (with Lola Leon) 8/10 16. "L.E.S. Girl" 9/10 Average: 8.5 out of 10

It is.

I have everything so far except: Spotify vinyl TikTok vinyl Grindr vinyl Bilt vinyl Red vinyl with 7 inch BYL single Baby pink vinyl - ordered from FNAC to the US so who knows how long that will take I bought everything except the Absolut set because - meh. I plan to do some sort of fun framing of the 12 track version of the vinyl since all of the covers are different colors.

I haven’t listened to the 12 track version yet but I’m curious to hear how the transition from Everything to LWW is. I do find it weird that LS isn’t on it. Personally I would have kept the track list intact and ended the 12 track version with Fragile. As others have stated I understand why she does this but I don’t like it. It’s one of the reasons REBEL HEART wasn’t better received because the “deluxe” was the real album. The standard doesn’t even deserve to exist. Oddly enough though the stores I happened to be at today only had the 16 track CD. I don’t even think some retailers stocked the 12 track CD at all nor have I seen it offered by Amazon.

I like it, too but I see why it’s a bonus track as it doesn’t really fit with the tone of the album.

I located it but it’s not letting me access it. I did find it on YouTube It samples Hung Up and it’s better than I expected it to be. It beats Super Pop anyway.
