Your personal album reviews of “Confessions II”
stevo208 replied to Shut Your Mouth's topic in Confessions II discussion
I decided to take a break from listening to CII this weekend. Ive played it over and over for a month. Im having withdrawal, but I cant wait to have it in my ears again. I dont think I will ever tire of hearing this album. -

Same. Loved this performance. I wonder if it will get on streaming or a new digital variant including it? -

stevo208 replied to ThomasW's topic in Confessions II discussion
Has anyone who managed to order the Tik Tok vinyl from the Madonna US store had them shipped yet? I managed to sneak an order in to a US address but the status still says preparing for shipping 2 weeks after my order. I have reached out twice to yhe M store but no response. -
Your personal album reviews of “Confessions II”
stevo208 replied to Shut Your Mouth's topic in Confessions II discussion
I feel ready to review this. I Feel So Free - what a way to introduce the album to the world. I loved this from the minute I heard it on the teaser the day she announced the album. 10/10 Good For The Soul - feels very RoL album. Love the lyrics and melody line. My only complaint is that it feels too short. But that means there is scope for an extended version! 10/10 One Step Away - very 90s with the tinkling piano line and the production is excellent. Also, her strongest first 3 track opener ever. 10/10 Bring Your Love - this was the only one I played before the album so everything was a surprise. I liked this immediately. So many nuances to the production, and in the context of the album, sandwiched between OSA and Danceteria, this fucking slaps. Best first single for me since Hung Up. And l love after hours remix too. 10/10 Danceteria - was expecting to Love this and I did. The first 5 tracks and the strongest I have ever heard on any album. I felt that first time listening, I still feel it now after over a hundred full plays. 10/10. Read My Lips - was expecting to dislike this based on the fans reactions from the film. I loved it. Its great lyrics and melody and she loves a latin vibe. Was expecting Spanish lesson but thankfully this is glorious. I want a version without Feid. He was unnecessary. She had this nailed. 8/10 Everything - the first thing that struck me was the weird pronunciation of the lyrics in the verses. And I loved the experimental vibe. It really struck me here that each song so far doesn't run the same structure or production in verse/chorus/bridge - they really made sure you heard something new throughout each track and I still hear new things now, little effects or lines. 9/10 Love Sensation - fans comparing it to Get Together made me think I wouldn't vibe with this. Get Togetehr is OK, and I dont hate it but never play it. I see the similarity, but LS is glorious. Its immediate and warm and stands out as the only real love song on here. A bit like Rain on Erotica. Love this. The vical.effexts seem 'compressed' but that's a choice. I'd prefer a clearer vocal, but that is a minor quibble. 10/10 Love Without Words - at this point I definitely thought this album should have been called Erotica 2. Its certainly the sister album to that masterpiece. The production again shines through here. Pure magic. 10/10 Bizarre - that melancholy melody only she can do and do so well. Id be interested to hear a remix that was less EDM and more chilled. But this is a favourite. 10/10 School - cant lie..this didn't grab me at first..it has definitely grown on me so much! I am yet to skip a song and wake up with this in my head a lot. Very experimental. Very Dita. 8/10 Fragile - stunning. Gorgeous. And at this point you know she has blown it out of the water and delivered potentially her best album ever. 10/10 My Sins are My Saviour - belongs in 1992. That voice! The vibe! My only complaint is that this needs to be longer. 9/10 Betrayal - loved the lyrics immediately and the sax. Not surprised to hear Mirwais influence on here. Stuart does it better though. Miles better. 8/10 The Test - really interesting lyrics. The lyrics are better than the melody, and for me the only track that feels like something is missing. 7/10 L.E.S. Girl - what a surprise for her. Wasn't expecting a track like this but what a perfect way to end this incredible album. I felt very lucky and emotional at this point 10/10 Overall, this could become my favourite madonna album. Anyone who rates this less than a fucking 10 is missing out. Id currently place it behind Erotica as my favourite album.as im trying to factor in recency bias. But it won't leave my top 2. No skips at all. She really brought it this time..after my first listen at midnight, I sat in candlelight and just exhaled and thought wow. Completely overwhelmed. This album is a masterpiece. It needs to be listened to from beginning to end. Three Madonna albums have that for me: Erotica and RoL and now CII..how lucky are we to get something this powerful and incredible after so long into her career. She did lose my these past few years, but she really has me back now. Forever. Til the end. Thanks for coming. -

Your personal album reviews of “Confessions II”

3 weeks in and I know this album is in my top 2 now. And will remain there. I cannot believe we have a masterpiece from her over 40 years into her career. When I sit back and think about it I feel quite emotional. I wanted this so much from her. I needed it. It has kept me fed since the day I heard it. And I will dine out on this for years. And im so glad to share with people on here who clearly feel similar and have been so overwhelmingly positive about this era. Ive loved seeing each and every one of your comments and reactions to it. I have loved every day since she announced it.
