mad4mad2 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 HOLD TIGHT yes hold me tight THE QUEEN just killed me!!
Urien Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Joan of Arc!!!!! JOAN OF FUCKING ARC!Borrowed Time is GREATHold Tight is GREATHoly Water is EPICSEX is SEX!Inside Out is GREAT (and doesn't sound like a rip off of NIN's Closer anymore)Body Shop is GREATIconic is ICONICVVV is GREAT and so is NAS!Graffiti Heart is LOVELY!ADDICTED! HeartBreakCIty! AAAAHHH!*breathes* Pretty much everything on the album is superior to every demo, but there are exceptions...WAOM - First demo is still the best. The album version is boring. Messiah - How can you hear Messiah (Demo 2) and not think it is the best one? The album version is back to being boring. So powerless. Rebel Heart - Don't get me started on this one. The first demo needed a little fine tuning, she could've kept the violin orgy during the chorus at least and made it longer than 3:20. This isn't a bad version per se (like the previous two) but it was still heartbreaking to listen to. Such a shame, shame, shame. Beautiful Scars - Dreadful disco. It was such a cute and sweet track, this one is really a case of less is more. Ugh.
ruey Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Yeah it's truly a shame about the Avicii productions. Rebel Heart went from being lead single potential to now sounding like a Miles Away redux, unfortunately. Most of the album is amazing though!
Platinum Gold Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Wow Nas's verse on VVV is everything along with the build up the instrumentation
Paul Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 ooops... it's here... BEAUTIFUL SCARS demo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BEAUTIFUL SCARS final REBEL HEART first leaked demo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> REBEL HEART final WASH ALL OVER ME all demos leaked >>>>>>>>>>>>>> WASH ALL OVER ME final BORROWED TIME demo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BORROWED TIME final i really don't get why they tried really hard to remove any Avicii sound in these demos (except BS)... GHOSTTOWN for 2nd single after hearing all of this... No. All finals are better than demos. Even BS Im getting into the new version. i think we are just too used to the old ones. But from a start to finish sonic journey, all the final versions are awesome. Not sure about singles, theres so many that are great. Im thinking Inside Out coudl be a single.
JoanOfArc Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Yeah, her inside camp is as secure the Mexican border. Fire the lot! I disagree, it's much more secure than M's music lol
ruey Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Autotune Baby is so fucking good.... I'm really enjoying it as well at the moment
Django Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 No. All finals are better than demos. Even BS Im getting into the new version. i think we are just too used to the old ones.

dramos520 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Autotune Baby is so fucking good.... It is! I'm surprised I like it after hearing the demo

But from a start to finish sonic journey, all the final versions are awesome. Sorry but there is nothing that could convince me that the original Rebel Heart demo is not the best version. There was a general consensus among fans on different boards that the song should've been lead single or second single and with good reason, it had all the ingredients of a perfect pop song. The album version simply has no bang, and no power.
Plasticlimbo Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Posting pic on Instagram in 60 minutes... And where is Avicii sound in these songs? Did she fire him or stg?

Urien Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) "Best" is obviously subjective. She wanted to make a Madonna record, not an Avicii record. Fair point. The new RH fits better in the context of the new album and as an album closer, so I can see some logic behind her choice of changes. However I still don't think it is the better of the two, and the Avicii sound is what she asked for, that's like saying, Ray of Light is a William Orbit record. Edited February 3, 2015 by Urien
Django Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Nice attitude you got there. The Avicii version doesn't fit in the album. I don't know what you expected? Anyways, you still have the version you like. Even if you prefer the demo, the album version isn't bad.
ruey Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 "Best" is obviously subjective. She wanted to make a Madonna record, not an Avicii record. Has Avicii's "Stories" tracklist been released yet? Maybe their songs will apear there in the Avicii sound
JoanOfArc Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I'm in bed. Couldn't sleep in all night. Listening Graffiti Heart with headphones on. Perfection

Even if you prefer the demo, the album version isn't bad. I conceded to that point already. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but at the very least I feel she should've kept the climactic violin driven chorus, if not for the first chorus, then for the final chorus. Meh, still a fantastic album.
Roland Barthes Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 I love the ending of the new mix on Beautiful scars the man singing "you got to love me" with the bass and violins it's beautiful, i wish it was longer

Meh, still a fantastic album. YES, IT IS STILL A FANTASTIC ALBUM apart from those 4 songs with Avicii they have butchered... What i don't get is if they can preserve the Avicii sound in ADDICTED (which is almost untouched from the demo), why not with those other 3 very beautiful songs? Anyhow, I am replacing them on my playlist with the demos... they are in high quality anyway... there, problem solved...
magodonna Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I'm so overwhelmed with emotion...it's one thing listening to demos BUT When listening to MADONNAs intended and finished work of ART I feel nothing but love and joy! I love Her so much.
