Music - Madonna Reviews

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 ...  Read the complete review

I remember I was seeing a girl at the time of the release of Madonna's "Music" album and she thought it was odd that I bought this album, music is never gender specific and even the staunchist egotist and follower of machismo would have to admit that Madonna is an extremley talented performer and her music has always been of the highest ...  Read the complete review

Following the record-setting success of the previous album, Ray Of Light, this long-awaited awaited album was pre-empted by the leak of the lead single 'Music' on the Internet. The result a curious mixture of country, techno, disco and je ne sais quoi! What the fans heard, they liked, so it must have been good publicity for the album, ...  Read the complete review

I am a huge Madonna fan. She has been in the charts for as long as I can remember. I was only two when she released ‘Holiday’ and so can not remember a time without Madonna. Madonna’s great popularity is probably due to her ability to change, to move with the trends and be on the pulse of what is fashionable at the time. ...  Read the complete review

It's impossible to listen to Music, Madonna's ninth album of new material, without making the inevitable comparisons to her Grammy-winning 1998 electronic opus Ray of Light. Like that album, Music is awash in dance beats and computerized bleeps and loops (William Orbit, who co-produced Ray of Light, is even brought back on a few tracks ...  Read the complete review

Two years after astonishing the world by CO-producing an album with electronicist William Orbit, she does it again. "Music" was recorded during her second pregnancy, and the sound is more perfect, more extreme than ever. Partly produced by French electro wizard Mirwais Ahmadzai, and William Orbit, again, Madonna offers once more a ...  Read the complete review

After thrilling everyone with the sublime Ray Of Light, Madonna returns with this dance influenced classic which recalls the heady glitzy hey days of the 70's mixed with millennium beats. Step aside Britney Spears, the mother of pop is back! MUSIC sets the scene with brilliant but simple lyrics and great 'Believe' type ...  Read the complete review

To be honest, I was not really enthusiastic when I discovered Madonna's latest album last summer. It had not been released yet but was in circulation on the internet. I was all the more disappointed because I knew "Paradise not for me" which had already been available in Mirwais' album for several months (in France at any case). ...  Read the complete review

This is journey into the psyche of the woman now known as Mrs. Ritchie, is one of may twists and turns. This CD is also once again a tapestry of different musical influences. Madonna combines a plethora of people including Damian La Gassick and Nick Young under the collective flagship of William Orbit and Mirwais Ahmadzai. Aside from ...  Read the complete review

With this album the queen of pop has returned to show us there is nothing that she can not turn her hand to. The aptly titled “Music” album took its place amongst my music collection at the beginning of the year. Since then it has spent more time in my music system than in its case. What can you expect? Well almost ...  Read the complete review

Project: The reinvention of Madonna Terms of reference: The remaking of a pop legend Method: Chuck away preconceptions, take a big fat modern sound and sing like a girl Results: Breathtaking Conclusion: Buy this gorgeous record or I’ll send Mrs dave27 round to cut your toenails Pop music is an odd thing. Very often ...  Read the complete review

'Music' is definately a grower. There are times when I'm still uncertain as to whether the title track and first single proper, is actually any good, and on a first listen the whole album can seem to coast by without any real significance. But on a closer listen, 'Music', the album, just like 'Music, the song, is undeniably ...  Read the complete review

Don't get me wrong. I'm a HUGE fan of Madonna's (and not HUGEin the grossly overweight way either). She was all I listened to as a child. I bought, listened to and loved every other album she made and I though this would be no exception. Boy was I wrong... It starts off great with the fantastic 'Music'. Fantastic ...  Read the complete review

There are only 11 tracks on this album, which includes ‘Music’, ‘Don’t Tell Me’ and ‘American Pie’. There are some really good songs on here and some really bad ones. The tracks I liked were ‘Music’ for its old school electric 80s vibe, ‘ I deserve it’ and ‘Amazing’ ...  Read the complete review

Madonna set the pop world alight back in 1998 with the release of her album “Ray Of Light”. This was a collaboration with music producer William Orbit, his style and her voice proved to be a great hit and the album was well received by the critics. Since then a number of artists have followed in her footsteps and employed the services ...  Read the complete review

I'll begin by saying that I'm not a big Madonna fan (go on, give me a somewhat useful just for saying that). Someone being in the papers all the time tends to grate on me a LOT after a while. My girlfriend bought this album for herself, and kept on putting it on - I kept switching off. Having had my own moments to listen to it, I ...  Read the complete review

This is Madonna weakest album in places and her strongest in others. The title track is astounding, whereas other, over produced Mirwais tracks drown out Madonna and her sometimes appauling lyrics (see above). Orbit seems to becoming a breath of his former self but this is still something that Kylie would aspire to...... This is no ray ...  Read the complete review

A long, long time ago, I can still remember...... how that music used to make me smile. OK, enough already, a long long time ago I can still remember when there were more than three good songs on a maddy album! After, seeing this highly advertised album everywhere, even accross Guy Ritchie's chest, I finally succumbed to the ...  Read the complete review

Do you like Madonna? Do you like Music? Then you're gonna love this. Music the album is composed of Perfectally-original-groovy-songs. I really like this album because they all sound different and they Madonna hasn't tried to do songs which sound similar to songs other people have done. The great thing about the songs Madonna writes and ...  Read the complete review

It was a brave almost pompous decision by Madonna to call her new album ‘Music’. Along with producing chart hit after hit, Madonna has always moved with the times as her last album ‘Ray of Light’ highlighted. With the latter not being a compliment I feared the worst from her new album as the charts are currently plagued by ...  Read the complete review
