Disadvantages: none

Madonna grows up! Madonna's previous three studio albums (Madonna, Like A Virgin & True Blue) were all great pop albums but nobody could ever have suspected that she was capable of producing an album as compelling, thought provoking, and musically stunning as this.

At the time many considered Madonna to be talentless, Like A Prayer changed those preconceptions forever, The title track alone is certainly not a song a 'talentless' individual could have produced. The entire album proves time and again that Madonna IS musically talented. Diverse 'alternative' tracks (Act of Contrition) sit comfortably with upbeat in your face pop (Express Yourself) and moving, tender ballads (Promise To Try, Spanish Eyes).

Madonna has released many great records in her 18 year career, particularly Ray Of Light, but Like A Prayer was the first signpost of her musical brilliance. Like A Prayer made the critics eat their words, Like A Prayer is one of the best albums released by a female artist in the modern music era.
