Advantages: Good range of songs with some great dance tracks

Disadvantages: American Pie cover

Madonna musical career has gone through a series of transformations however at its heart she has always produced the occasionl great dance song witha heavy pop influence. Music marked a continuation of this even if she did seek to innovate and try new variations and styles.

On the down side to this album it does include an awful cover version of American Pie, I'm soirry but the original is a classic and can never be bettered so I eally have no idea why she even bothered.

Ignoring that negative on the plus side this album does baost some great tracks which includes the title track Music which has an electro beat to it and a synthesised voice as an opening it is a wonderful track to gyrate your body to. There is a definateelectro feel to a number of tracks on this album and there are some complicated well structured tracks, not all of them work but some do stand out as great dance tracks and Runaway Lover has a great stunted opening that leads into a solid dance beat.

Mdonna vocals are as striong as ever, she has a really good smooth voice on most of these tracks and she shows her range with the slower more simple I Deserve It with the opening acoustic guitar accompainment.

My other favourite song from this album is on't Tell Me which has a folkie feel to it with the stunted lyrics at the start transforming into a cool drum beat and guitar riff.

Not everyone liked this album but I think it was very much under rated by the critics, certainly it is one I still listen to every so often eight years after its release.

Summary: Good 2000 release from Madge.
