But I can’t think of many of her albums where there isn’t a song here or there I couldn’t see having needed a bit more work. MDNA is just crushed underneath an already dense and vivid catalogue unfortunately. I think part of the problem was also the 4 year wait, and Madonna always bouncing immediately back after an underperformance. Hard Candy was widely considered a subpar album for Madonna's standards, so people expected a smash hit and she didn't deliver that. I don't think MDNA is as bad as it gets credited with. I love 3 songs, I strongly like another 4, and the rest isn't very good. dylanlioncourt and Roy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But she bounced back with Rebel Heart, even after the leaks, and Madame X but then strongly came back up with FEL and the Frozen remixes. :D TOpher and Shoful 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in those four years a lot of pop acts popped up with strong runs with their first two albums in those four years. And she was half paying attention with it, but still not the worse. Again when you’re Madonna, you’re expected to have Ray of Lights and Confessions each album but that’s hard sustain when the GP’s attention span shifts so much. STR, Celebration, and FEL are great because they pop into the GP’s view. Or the live albums too. adirondak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clkelley39 991 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Do we have any predictions for the 25th anniversary of Ray of Light next year? It was a commercial and critical success, one of her favorites, and finally won her a Grammy. I'm sure there will be a 360g translucent picture disc quadruple vinyl with only 1-2 songs per side, selling for $99.99 (this is a knock on the record industry, not Madonna). But other than that, do we have any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He so actually a great producer and I think he says you’ll see was a good collaboration but thinks one more chance and I can’t forget we’re shite and I agree with him - not sure if he was a producer on the song used in the Takara commercial ?

Ayham 5,474 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Ok, ONE MORE CHANCE is GREAT song... veryyyyy special & raw. MDNA is actually a masterpiece with HITS like GGW, GB, IA... oh wait MDNA got these two AMAZING ballads: FALLING FREE + MASTERPIECE. So please those who keeps on criticizing go check your taste.

TheGoth 497 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I wonder if next year she'll roll out the Xstatic Process exhibition again for the AL anniversary too.

M has also released numerous reimagined classics such as Frozen, Material Gworrrl, and Vogue. There is definitely more to come. I believe that all of the looks that she has been serving are gonna be used for rereleased expanded albums too. There is just too much effort and expense to waste. clkelley39, 8-tee's, kesiak and 7 others 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
