Madame X is a smart album... such a welcome moment after the hodge-podge frantic cheesy mess of the last one I was burned alive in this forum some month ago telling that the two last albums were bad. I m soooo glad that she is finally releasing something soooooo inspiring. There is no filler. 0% I wont tell names

karbatal Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 I love Rebel Heart but MX is another different dimension. It would be like comparing Bedtime Stories toe ROL.

You're right. It's like a totally different woman. Rebel Heart was very vulnerable, insecure and sensitive. Madame X is hostile and PISSED. In a really effective, intense way.

It's the male anecdote of the NYT profile. All how dare the rich white woman be political and thank God for the beats of Mirwais and Mike Dean (the men). I found the review completely dismissive even if positive. Comparing her/pitting her against to Whitney, Ariana, JLO, Michelle Obama (who has a ghost writer for everything and that is fine)...it all annoyed me.

dollhouse Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Thats awful. Madonna made probably best record of her career and they throw her under the bus like this?

Dindi Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Rock and pop should never really be compared side to side. Pop by definition should sound more current. And even so, Madame X is hardly a conventional pop album. Should Bruce album get the top spot, prepare for more negative headlines about Madonna.

What plan? You're always so doomsday and panicked about everything. So what if she gets #2. Count your blessings. You guys care way too much about silly crap like this. Newsflash, people have been frantically writing nasty think pieces about Madonna since the 1980s. Madonna's polarizing reputation is baked in. The only time she sort of won the Miss Congeniality contest was maybe in the late 90s/very early 2000s. Since then it's been the same thing. Madonna is this, Madonna is that. Sometimes she makes it out pretty unscathed (COADF, Hard Candy), other times it's a bit of a disaster (Rebel Pork). Life goes on. The LA Times review probably won't count. If it does, whatever.

Simo9jo Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 The Variety review sounds like someone who has no idea about music, why are these people writing music reviews? The comparisons and musical genres the writer cites are not accurate...do some research. Why not mention that she co-produced? She always does, but is never given credit.
