This one's a loser. It won't satisfy her old fans and is a major disappointment to fans (like me) of her "Ray of Light" effort. The songs with her new French producer are over-processed, uninvolving and passionless (how many of those are real words?).

I was really looking forward to a new M cd.. Especially since it was supposed to be a return to her "dance" roots, etc. Unfortunately the album really lacks after about the 2nd to 3rd track. And although you can really hear W.Orbit's contribution (a good thing), M's vocals are waaay to high in the mix. I really liked Ray of Light (4.75 of 5) [and erotica] and was hoping that this cd would musically be in that direction again. It totally fails. I kept hearing that this would be a return to her dance roots, etc. I simply didn't hear it.In summary: Save your money; sadly, the CD is a total letdown.

Boy what a bland CD! Overly produced and boring lyrics and no catchy hooks or any really stand out tracks. It look likes she rushed this one out to rake in some cash for the up coming X-mas season. I loved Ray of Light so this is a really disappointment. Plus, it was only 40 something minutes (which is a rip off but maybe it's a good thing in this case). Even her Erotica and Bedtime Stories albums are much better than this. For those that want Madonna to go back to bubble pop, please. Well done house music is fun and great to dance to, not this one though. actually this is not even house music. it's electronic funk whatever.

This CD leaves alot to be desired. Even the choice of photography on the sleeve misses the boat. Madonna looks beautiful but the choices are strange. I bought the CD hoping to use it in my dance class. The first cut, "Music" is fun and the second has a good beat. There is one beautiful ballad. The rest of the ballads are repetitive and unmoving. Overall, it is nothing special. No significant lyrics. No catchy tunes. No profound message. No really great dance tunes. A let down after "Ray of Light" which was really well done. I expected alot more from Madonna. It was like a quickie in the interim while she does her life.

Madonna has produced another hit album and it shows that the queen of pop is going to retain her throne for a long time to come. Featuring the number one single Music and the fantastic current single Tell Me which is my personal favourite, Madonna shows that she has managed to progress with the times without losing her own personal touch.

I must say that this is a cd that you have to get used to after listenning to it a few times! But once you get used to it you can listen to it about a-1000000 times! This is one of the best cd's i've ever got in my life! But offcourse nothing surpasses her album "Ray of light"! That was the no. 1 cd in the world! But still this cd is in my top-5! In fact it was released earlier because people couldn't wait to get it here in Belgium! So it got released 3 days before it was supposed to! I love the way Madonna keeps changing her image in every other cd she releases! No other artist does that!
