That NME review is glorious.

Seriously no US reviews yet?

Others have probably asked this question already, but was the myth of a disco stomper just a myth?
No. God Control and I Don't search I find seem be those stompers

Is the evening standard still even a thing ?
No. It's a pube trying desperately to be a bouffant

Same here! Like someone mentioned beforehand, these reviews/scores are just among one person's opinion. Granted, they are a critic, but we do know that critics can really be off the mark. They may influence a small minority, but for the most part her fans are going to buy her new music. From what I've read here so far, it's not too bad, and she's had far worst reviews.
They're not too bad? They're positively glowing! Yes there are criticisms of her age, hair etc but the music is shining through.

Apparently 2 stars from evening standard. ‘Redundant and utterly uncool’.
A friend sent me this, I haven’t seen it myself and it’s not online yet.
Any review that scores it that low at this point, with all the other reviews we have so far, clearly hates her and her music and shouldn't be reviewing a Madonna album in the first place. With all the glowing scores so far, in spite of some of the clear hatred for her in some of them, yet the music is undeniably good, a 2 star review is from some cunt with an agenda and it's rather transparent, wouldn't you say?

Alternative (record of the week) counts.. hope M is featured in that section because that 84 is great.
other than that, the ugly 2 60s from RS and telegraph, the 80 from guardian and 80 from Q mag..
The Times counts too, no?
-
Telegraph reviewer completely missing the point. The other reviewers clearly 'got' this album, whereas this guy reviews her age. Dick head.
-
The Daily Express, sorry after 13 years here still don't know how to post a link, have written a piece online about the reviews so far for Madame X
They haven't reviewed it themselves buy summarise it's strong, bold and she's not playing it safe. It's a positive round up of all reviews so far.

I'm a bit worried about these two
NME have been very positive since Medellin came out, so hopefully they are excited about the album

The Guardian review irritated me.
Which of these reviews so far count for Metacritic?
All but the sun and mirror, as far as I know.
Still The Observer, NME, Telegraph, Mojo, Attitude to come from UK

How we know it’s a 5-star from the Sun?
Because I read the paper in Tesco this morning and it scored 5 stars

btw.. the mirror who called the album "bleak" gave it five stars..
Bleak just means the tone. It's not bad a bad word to use, imo. In fact described as Bleak kind of excites me. It creates a mood

I flicked through the Sun this morning they have the review already posted but give her a mark of 5 stars which is glorious. They won't use this for Metacritic, but it shows how much this album is loved by the reviewer.
Interestingly the Sun review isn't from Dan Wooton, who we know from the listening party loved it and couldn't wait to review it... so I wonder where his review will appear? He does write for the Sun, doesn't he? I'm not going mad, am I?
-
Fuck! That guardian review. He absolutely despises her and goes in for the fucking kill, doesn't he? It says a lot when, after tearing her to shreds he has no option but to give 4 stars because the album is that good. Testament to the treat we are about to be served.
He has had no other option but to bend the knee, here.

But Radio 2 has been playing Medillin a lot and they're owned by Radio 1, so it makes no sense
He kinda shaded Radio 2....
He absolutely did. His career is over. He'll be blow jobbing old men for bingo money by the end of the year. Mark my words.

Her GLAAD speech was absolutely beautiful.
It was. And if anyone found anything to be triggered about, then Jesus Christ!
Incidentally, she did save me. In every way you can save a (gay) person. The same way she saved a lot of people. So she can say whatever the fuck she likes.
-
Scott Mills is a funny looking cunt. He says she's not good enough for BBC Radio 1?
That says a lot about the DJ's and listeners of their sister station BBC Radio 2. Also, some tracks get played on BOTH stations so the clueless fuck has contradicted himself and has made himself look even more like a tit, if that was even possible.

I do hate the fact that she helped extend the careers of pink, Gaga, etc when they should've been over by now
And they absolutely would have been over had it not been for Madonna cutting the blue print

I think so too! She made 40s look so effortlessly vibrant.
I would think the older you get the MORE you have to say.
Absolutely, they were calling her Grandma at 33. She made 40 acceptable, she will make 60 acceptable and then 70, 80...
It's true, I hope society appreciates her for this

I remember during a bedtime story review, I have the clipping somewhere, they closed the review by referencing her age and saying something like, at 36, while aging, albeit slowly before our eyes, she still has something to say. Something in that tone. lol
Begone she made being 40 acceptable.

Oh, nice! That reviewer also gave like five songs perfect 10s so I am anticipating that review very much, as well as MOJO’s.
We know Dan Wooton loved it from the Sun. I'd expect a track by track review from him on Tuesday. He can't hold his own piss so expect him to gush about it when the embargo is lifted

Great rating from Q, they gave 3 stars to American Life at the time...
Their other rating from memory:
Ray of Light 4 stars
Music 4 stars
American Life 3 stars
Confessions 4 stars
Hard candy 3 stars
MDNA 4 stars
Rebel Heart 3.5 stars
Actually quite consistently good.

Not so sure about The Guardian, especially when it comes to movie reviews. They were trying really hard to hype "A Star is Born" and they gave 4 stars to "Pet Sematary" which made me go to the cinema and see it. It was terrible! One of the worst horror movies I have seen recently.
Well ASIB did get hyped by most critics, but in terms of Madonna releases I'm hoping for a thoughtful piece from them
Terrific new Guardian editorial about ageism and Madonna

This is a great piece. Even called put their own review of MX.
