    It seems like I will be the first person to piss on everyone's parade. I'm very happy most of you seem to love it, but it's not my cup of tea.

    My biggest issue with the entire record are THE LYRICS. I didn't bother with the bonus tracks yet.

    Girl Gone Wild - 2/10

    Benassi throwaway. Easily her worst single and lead track in the history of her career. Half-assed vocals.

    Gang Bang - 5/10

    This could have been amazing. The spoken vocal is fairly intriguing. In fact I really enjoy the sampling and production. However that last minute or so is such poorly executed camp that I don't even know where to begin.

    I'm Addicted - 5/10

    This isn't terrible. Uninspired lyrics. Sort of reminds me of a William Orbit track that was probably dusted off from the Music era.

    Turn Up The Radio - 7/10

    Pleasant vocal delivery. This is basically Solveig-by-the-Numbers. This sounds practically identical to "Hello". I can see this becoming a single.

    Give Me All Your Luvin' - 6/10

    We all know this. The "pre-chorus" or whatever is quite good. Still sounds better suited for Katy Perry.

    Some Girls - 2/10

    This is a fucking mess. Some interesting production bits bump this up a point.

    Superstar - 3/10

    Solveig sounding though he had nothing to do with this. Very summery, could be good if it had a complete re-write. What's up with these fucking lyrics?? It sounds like she brought this to her Mercy's pre-school and they wrote it as a class during a history lesson.

    I Don't Give A - 3/10

    Fairly shit. Almost ridiculous enough that it could work but it doesn't. The production and the chamber choir are a good idea but again it would need a complete re-write to be tolerable. Nicki's rap in the middle works very well, it should have been given to her.

    I'm A Sinner - 6/10

    A bit retro. The instrumentation during the verses reminds me of "Beautiful Stranger"/"Amazing". Not awful, not good.

    Love Spent - 8/10

    Now we finally have a track that is worth repeated listens. The reminds me of something that she would have done during Music if it weren't for the lyrics echoing the recent divorce. This track is the most "Madonna" of the bunch if that makes sense.

    Masterpiece - 7/10

    Pleasant.

    Falling Free - 9/10

    Her best recorded vocal since the Ray of Light years that I can recall. Parts of this remind me of something Imogen Heap would record. The only song that I cannot fault in the lyric department. Mature. If the whole record went down this route it would have been amazing.

    Of course I will but it to support her, and give the HQ version a spin to form a solid opinion. I'm still looking forward to the tour very much but as a whole this album offers me nothing to want to revisit on a regular basis bar the last three tracks.

    i was about to buy floor seats for Yankee Stadium but the hassle getting there from NJ is just too much for me.

    Same here, with the PATH and subway ride it would take me the same amount of time to go to AC and Philly. As historic as this performance may be I'd much rather drive 2 and half hours to see her in an arena. I'd rather not see her in a stadium setting anyway at these prices.

    Are you freaking out right now?

    My biggest issue is that she's spreading herself too thin to create anything with substance. Between W.E., the gyms, the MG clothing line, the other clothing line coming down the line and the fragrances it all feels like she's grasping at straws to remain in the public eye when in reality she's Madonna. She doesn't need any of this. She's already an icon and in my opinion all of these endeavors (bar films/directing as she's always had interest there) are making her look desperate for relevancy.

    Couple that with a song, that while fun in theory, sounds like a Katy Perry leftover. I thought that the "let me appeal to the kids" schtick was over, but it seems like it's still in full swing. "L-U-V MADONNA!" coming from a woman who has penned some of the greatest pop songs EVER just doesn't sit right with me. Here's to hoping that William Orbit brings some maturity to the table.

    I'm not quite ready to write her off any time soon, but she's not making it easy.

    Songs she should retire:

    Music (it was perfection for Confessions, she should have left it alone for S&S)

    Ray of Light (same arrangement the last two tours)

    La Isla Bonita (see above)

    Shit she NEEDS to drag out:

    Open Your Heart (I don't care how...but no fucking rock version please)

    Deeper and Deeper (original version)

    Rain (original version)

    These would be lovely:

    Oh Father

    Intervention

    How High

    Nothing Really Matters

    Gone

    Alison Goldfrapp: 'Madonna : Yuck.'

    Oh my :lol:

    First off, COADF and Supernature are two different animals really - and to still be discussing this almost 5 YEARS later is stupid. These interviewers need to think up better questions, but obviously they are trying to get a rise out of her.

    Secondly, its no secret that Alison is a fucking pretentious bitch...however all of you seem to forget that Madonna is too :rosey: The fact that some of you are willing to boycott Goldfrapp for making comments against Madonna is more than a bit ridiculous. If you don't enjoy their music, fine, but saying "I like them but she insulted Madonna! I hope you fail!" is not very rational. This isn't elementary school :confused:
