johnnox Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I think Erotica is one of the most fluid albums of her career. I dont like every song, but it flows so well.

coco Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 american life / hard candy / i'm breathless (if it counts) I think Erotica is one of the most fluid albums of her career. I dont like every song, but it flows so well. +1
GimmeSomeMo Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 This thread has made me realize that none of Madonna's albums have any OUTRIGHT SHIT songs on them (barring Don't Stop from BS that is unlistenable). That said, the records with the most meh songs have to be either Erotica (still love it though) or Hard Candy (still think it's despicable).
loomer Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 True Blue only has 2 or 3 filler tracks but on a short hit filled album they really stick out. Yes. What's on there is not only "filler" but a putrid abomination. And I don't get why the ghastly White Heat is so venerated.
jonski43 Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 For me, it's ROL. I would be happy if the album stopped after Shanti Ashtangi. It would have been a really tight album then.
erotica blu Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 For me, it's ROL. I would be happy if the album stopped after Shanti Ashtangi. It would have been a really tight album then. ROL is over stuffed. Has to Be should've made the official track listing.
loomer Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 She had a lot to prove on ROL, hence the length.
GimmeSomeMo Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 She was trying to make an opus (and succeeded).

Guest bluejean Posted October 12, 2011 Posted October 12, 2011 I think all of her albums have afew filler tracks, but none stand out as having more filler than others. 'Music' has the least filler imo (and this was why she only wanted 10 tracks) and yet its far from her best album. Sometimes the filler tracks add to the flow of the album. To use Ray Of Light as an example I would consider Shanti and Little Star to be the filler on there, but yet they are integral to the overall flow of the album and the story she is telling. I don't skip them when I listen to it as a whole. It's the same as when you go to a live show, she could do hit after hit but it would be overkill. You need those duller moments to make the highlights really sparkle.

saint rose Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 American Life... the whole album was a filler
IslandBreeze Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 American Life... the whole album was a filler But because it was not a commercial album then it is ART. I don't hate it but it is inferior to everything else she's done. I think it should have been called B-Sides and sold with a Deluxe version of "Music" (if they cared enough to release Deluxe versions).
Titty Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Definitely American Life.... In my countdown of all Madonna album tracks the number 1 track on American Life does not even get into the Top 50
Chuck82 Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 All these flop fans hating on the stellar American Life. (the only filler in that album is the title track) Thanks
erotica blu Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 All these flop fans hating on the stellar American Life. (the only filler in that album is the title track) Thanks Not even that baby.
loomer Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 But because it was not a commercial album then it is ART. With THOSE lyrics?
IslandBreeze Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 With THOSE lyrics? Yep, American Life is definitely her nadir. Or maybe I didn't get what she was NOT trying to achieve. A-R-T can be so complex and the juxtaposition of the lyrics and the progressive sound was JUST...
Guest bluejean Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 This thread has made me realize that none of Madonna's albums have any OUTRIGHT SHIT songs on them Very true. I think what's also interesting is when you hear those leaked demos its very obvious why most of those songs weren't included. Apart from Has To Be, Animal, Like A Flower and afew others most of the excluded tracks are pretty weak.

Apart from Has To Be, Animal, Like A Flower and afew others most of the excluded tracks are pretty weak. Yes! I can totally see why she left out these: Ain't No Big Deal -> first single? No. I Can't Forget -> very cheesy! Gone, Gone, Gone/Revenge -> great songs, but the production is poor in comparison to other tracks from Ray of Light Run/Like a Angel Passing Through My Room -> one word: OVERRATED Little Girl -> don't know what to say about this The Game -> I think think the final version is better! Keep the Trance -> can't compete with the other tracks... Triggering -> I freakin' love this song! But it needs a better production...I think a more elaborated version could've been a hit single!
