Rebel Heart: A disjointed heretic temple with many enjoyable spots but many problematic ones too Madame X: A heavenly, captivating church with very little flaws My #1 favorite is Ray of Light, but The Perfect Album to me is Music. That 5+5 combo is without any fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 5+5 combo is without any fault. I’ve updated my rankings on my signature. Don’t be alarmed at the placement of MX. It’s a dynamite album that blows my mind and rocks my world. All of those albums leading up to MX are effectively 10/10 each for me. It’s just a preference thing, with some of those albums like Erotica having been ever present in my life like old friends. Madame X is as good as it gets. Any artist would do anything to have this in their catalogue, but Madonna just adds it to her already legendary catalogue.

I think it deserves a rightful place among her best albums ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungup Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 For me, Madame X stands with Erotica, American Life and Music as a very, strong and iconic album. Not same level as Confessions, Ray of Light or Like a Prayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugbyguy Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 9 hours ago, possiblymaybe98 said: Am I the only one that reeeally loves it? Out of so many tracks only 3 or 4 are trend-chasing, and Living For Love is her most underrated single ever, would’ve been a classic if it was released in the 90s. MDNA is the true stain in her discography, Rebel Heart is not. Your not the only one. I reeeally love it too. Love the production, the speaker splitting anthemic vibe of Iconic, the beats on Holy Water and Living For Love, the industrial sounding Illuminati and the craziness of Bitch I’m Madonna. It’s far better than anything her peers released in that time period also, including the younger pop girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikki Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 This album is the highest rated of all time on Metacritic by users.. 9.2. A lot of people love it. I see a lot of love on youtube as well. It may not be the album for everyone, (it's left field, autotune can be off putting to some) but the experimentation and exploration is being very well received.

The Crave video has a bug on YouTube which results in the video skipping to the next song after 5 seconds when playing on smart TV, so I think this has a lot to do with those views.

xoxoboi24 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Wow I didn't realize MDNA isn't well liked? I loved it then and still listen to it now. Rebel Heart has a few songs I still listen to. I would rank MX above both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says that Future is track 4 on side A, but it's actually track 1 on side B. This bothered me. I thought the Vinyl was badly pressed until i realised the song was on the other side. Future does work better as a track on side B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think M got the world used to her experimentations ever since Erotica. Suddenly, in between COAD and HC she switched gears, and appeared to be chasing a True Blue kind of album again: chart-ready behemots and fillers. Sadly the chart toppers never appeared. MX is a very different album to HC, MDNA and RH. She owns the genres she borrows from, which is to me one of her most valuable skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
