    It's a discussion that is more complicated than people are making it seem. Everyone wants to oversimplify everything. The question of whether transwomen should be allowed to use the same clinics that are used for women's health issues, for example, is a legitimate one.

    So true, not a social media type issue for the outraged mob wanting to shut down any actual discussion

    I think “Dark Ballet” has the most promise, but the overuse of vocoder on the Joan of Arc quotes makes you strain to understand the words and “Supreme hoodie” isn’t known well enough to make sense to most listeners.

    Cant argue here, the hoodie part l can get past as its got multiple interpretations and hoodie is enough to invoke KKK imagery. The vocoder distorting the most meaningful lyrics of the song by trying to be shocking just alienates the listener. I am looking forward to a live version that can be understood.

    So ... my only disappointment here is that we had heard rumors that all of the footage being shot this year was for something “long form” ... so, this was it. I thought “long form” might be longer (think ToD or IGTTYAS) ... or else a full visual album.

    Not saying in any way that I am disappointed in this result ... I am just trying to come to a point of peace in accepting this may have been the last of the visuals ... unless we do get the “batukadeiras by the ocean” video and Faz Gastoso is filmed. (However, the latter is still rumor and the former could very well be for tour backdrop visuals at this point — we really don’t know.)

    We have been SO spoiled this era already. It is just going to be difficult to accept when the goodies stop being delivered, you know? Hope I am not sounding ungrateful — I am SO SO grateful. But it’s just my brain’s way of trying to prepare for famine as it appears the feast may be winding down. (Think of the opening of ToD when she is speaking about the end of the BAT. “I just hope I’m in a safe place when it happens.”)

    Happy with anything, they have been shooting footage of everything for many years and it has always resulted in nothing at all. Surprised they saved this till now, it would have been perfect to release as part of the album launch for media to use to augment their mostly boring interviews.

    Great video. Thanks for sharing.

    I love I Rise and I think it is a perfect album closer. You follow Madame X's journey across the album, showing us a world in disorder, both outside and inside ourselves, exploring introspective topics such as love, desire, loneliness, as well as society issues like gun control and political reform. But in the end with I Rise, we finish the record on a anthemic note, bringing together the personal and the political, and giving us at the same time a call to action and an ode to perseverance. 💗

    This is a perfect way to end the album, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

    well put, 100% agree

  5. I was waiting patiently but plans foiled for Australia. Local store has no copies of the deluxe edition, no poster, promo. Lucky they had the standard edition placed at the back of the normal display. The Bruce Springsteen album was all over the shop in stands and with his full back catalog!

    Planned to listen to good quality on CD as l explored the 32 page booklet. 

    Anyone able to get the deluxe edition in Australia?

    It works for Daft Punk

    It works for many songs and l love it, especially a nice repetitive chorus. But l dont feel it works here despite what it may be intended to symbolize. Easily removed in edit, l love it otherwise but always hope for a wide audience for Madonna.
