Butter9 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I don't understand this line from Spin . Madonna's Rebel Heart is actually much closer to that of former VMAs combatant Courtney Love, a Bad Girl who has alienated casual fans over the years with her unwillingness to age out of her brattiness, but is beloved by her more rabid fans for just that reason. If she's going down, she's gonna go down bitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butter9 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I don't know if this has been posted . Music Review: Madonna's 'Rebel Heart' Is Lovely Madonna, "Rebel Heart" (Boy Toy/Live Nation/Interscope) Madonna's 13th studio album, "Rebel Heart," beats with romance and rebellion. At 19 tracks, it's an overstuffed triptych through the iconic performer's life, careening between uplifting dance tracks, like the percolating "Living for Love" — her 44th No. 1 on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart — and corrosively bitter tunes such as the Avicii-produced "HeartBreakCity." Songs such as the largely acoustic "Devil Pray," which will stylistically remind many of "Don't Tell Me"; the achingly vulnerable "Joan of Arc"; and the deceptively double entendre-filled, lilting "Body Shop" course with vitality and showcase some of Madonna's best singing in years. While the majority of the material falls solidly in the positive, some of the tunes undoubtedly meant to sound fierce and liberating just feel tired, like the electro-clash braggadocio of "Bitch I'm Madonna," featuring Nicki Minaj, and the tedious X-rated bump-and-grind of the Kanye West-produced "Holy Water." In perhaps her most complex album, Madonna seems determined to plant a flag for her 30-plus year career, even giving a crash course in Madonna-ology on the self-referential "Veni, Vidi, Vici," featuring Nas, during which she playfully incorporate phrases and titles from past hits. At its best, "Rebel Heart" pulsates with a vibrancy that reveals both the sour and the sweet in Madonna's extremely complicated life and leaves no doubt that she still has a lot more to share. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2015/03/09/arts/ap-us-music-review-madonna.html?_r=0 Edited March 10, 2015 by Butter9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!! http://www.ranthollywood.com/2015/03/10/rebel-heart-is-madonnas-best-album-since-confessions-on-a-dance-floor/ With ‘Rebel Heart,’ Madonna has made an album that follows the tradition of albums like‘The Velvet Rope’ by Janet Jackson and ‘Butterfly’ by Mariah Carey. It is, in every sense, a self-proclamation album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ciccone Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 She has remained at 70 on meta even with the addition of the AV Club's B- and Spin's 6. This must mean that some of her higher rated reviews are weighted more heavily on Metacritic's formula, as the actual average is now 68.1...

If she's going down, she's gonna go down bitching. I'm a Courtney Love fan, but I don't understand that either. I guess because both Madonna and Courtney don't do just ballads/AC music? But Madonna is a lot more professional than Courtney, so it doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, in every sense, a self-proclamation album. Madonna has done albums in this tradition many times. Like A Prayer and ROL spring to mind as the most obvious choices but Bedtime Stories and American Life are also very self relevant and personal in their own way. Madonna has been wearing her heart on her sleeve musically since she began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
