Guest Borderline Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Can we get some love for this wonderful album? I always thought of Bedtime Stories as being a more mature version of Erotica. I absolutely adore this album. It's so sensual without being seedy. It's absolutely lush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madonner Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I couldn't agree more. It's absolutely fantastic. Although at first I didn't like it. But the more I listened to it, the more I loved it. It's up till today one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5iVe Elements Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I love it. You can say I'm a Ray of Lighter but this is one pre-RoL album (aside from TIC) I can listen to in full and truly enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrozenEyes Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I love this album. One of my favorites. From the videos to the songs And it's not very in your face, but has this cool hypnotic vibe throughout. Great album to just chill out to. VERY VERY VERY underrated. The only clunker for me is the IRBYL and DS. One of my favorite non-singles from the album are Love Tried To Welcome Me and Sanctuary. I bet they would have had great videos.

Guest Madonna Bowie Prince Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I consider to be the more light, more romantic version of Erotica. I love it, but the gritty (erotica) always wins imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madonner Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 My favorite songs from BS are "Human Nature", "Bedtime Story" and "Sanctuary" - it's a real gem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coked Up Baby Boy Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 If it wasn't for the Kylie sounding clunkers on this, the album would be one of her best. However it is a BIT up and down in places. The good parts are incredible, the bad parts are very average. Overall though, i do like enough of it, and it features some of my all time favs from her, Secret, Human Nature, Sanctuary, Bedtime Story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promise to try Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I like it, but the difference betwwen this album and others, is that I like it as an other albums, not only as a collection of songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crux Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I was listening to this in my car on full whack last night...and although it's not my favorite M album, there's some mighty good gems on there. The slower songs are really quite beautiful. "LTTWM", Sanctuary", "Forbidden Love", "TAB" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jordywind Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 its a hidden gem, most songs on the album arent well known or had huge commercial success but i think that adds to its charm when you listen to it! xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjc Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Possibly the most different of all her albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 It's a great album, it's just not one of her strongest. There's some great tracks: Secret, Inside of Me, Sanctuary, Human Nature. And there's also a clunker or two. It's a so-so album. I love it, I just don't play it as much as the others. Also, some of the leftovers (Honesty, Let Down Your Guard) are pretty cool too.

Guest Not4Pussies Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 not the strongest album but has some gems on there that ill always love LTTWM, Sanctuary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrozenEyes Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Question. What is the Human Nature mix that has a loud "BAM" throughout the song and occasionally over explicit lyrics, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Question. What is the Human Nature mix that has a loud "BAM" throughout the song and occasionally over explicit lyrics, I believe. I'm not home to check but I THINK it's this... I could be wrong though 3."Human Nature" (Chorus Door Slam with Nine Sample) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannylex Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Love tried to welcome me, Human Nature, Inside Of Me, forbidden Love and of course Sanctuary are my favorites from this album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5iVe Elements Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Inside of Me is one of my most favorite M songs. To be honest (pun intended), I don't like It's Your Honesty. I'm glad it was a leftover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevermind Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Erotica followed by this was her artistic peak. FACT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crux Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I've noticed fans seem to ignore "Forbidden Love" quite a lot. Why is that? I LOVE it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I've noticed fans seem to ignore "Forbidden Love" quite a lot. Why is that? I LOVE it. It's cool, it's more memorable as a track on STR than it is on BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrozenEyes Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 ^^^I agree. It's oddly more difficult for me to enjoy the song, since there is FL on Confessions too which I ultimately love more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Confessions one is superior to the Bedtime snoozefest (which i do adore, sometimes...) Fakt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I fucking LOVE BS. "Survival", "Secret", "Inside of Me", "Bedtime Story", "Take A Bow", "Human [effin] Nature"....how could anyone hate this? BS is the intimate, more adult Madonna album - I agree with some of the people who have described it as a sort-of anti-Erotica, where the sex is there but it is dealt with in a more "under the covers" manner (pardon the pun". The production work on this record is some of Madonna's best, and I especially love that she managed a unique sound in the songs despite using popular producers. LOVE. One of my fave Madonnz records.

promise to try Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I've noticed fans seem to ignore "Forbidden Love" quite a lot. Why is that? I LOVE it. it should have been the thris single in the US, after TAB, and left BS only as a maxysingle for the discos. And I also don´t like that COADF has another song with the same name, it´s like the first one never existed...and it´s beautiful, it´s another missed opportunity for her to have a top ten hit...I guess she didn´t care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjc Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Soo nobody likes Secret? I think it's one of her best songs, I love all her mmm mmmh songs lol I love Secret. Remember back in 1994 when it entered the charts at Number 5 here in the UK which was her highest debut for a long time and was so expecting it to go to Number 1 the following week.

Love Spent Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 'Sanctuary' is one my favorite songs. Totally lush and poetic. Love the Walt Whitman quote too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest groovyguy Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Along with "Erotica" and "American Life", this album is probably Madonna's most underrated album. R&B sounding and the most self-reflective Madonna album at the time. Amazing album with brilliant tracks like Survival, Secret, Bedtime Story, Human Nature, Sanctuary and Take a Bow.
