Swap out Incredible and Spanish Lesson for Across the Sky and Madness of Love and it's an insanely better album that accurately captures the midlife crisis of a 50 year old pop icon going through divorce and an identity crisis. It's very much like Ray of Light where both of their titles are a dichotomy to the lyrical content. Ray of Light being dark while Hard Candy is quite lonely and bitter.

i agree - maybe swap animal for heatbeat too

Agreed. Incredible, Spanish Lesson and Heartbeat just drag the album down.

Animal has so much potential! Just needs a middle 8 and slightly new mix to replace the recycled Maneater beat. 

Across The Sky and Madness Of Love/Pala Tute are pretty much perfect, can't believe they were left off

I want expanded not swapped songs.  The omissions on Like a Prayer 30 were unforgivable.  Like A Prayer (dedicated to her mother who taught her to pray) without the song about her mother or the prayer?  That was insane.  

 

Heartbeat is one of my favorite songs on Hard Candy.  And Spanish Lesson was amazing live.  I want expansions to explore the history, not rewrite it.

I love Hard Candy! And the vinyl is hard to get so I am all for a re-release!

That said I doubt this will be one of the first reissues.

I think they learnt their lesson as they did a better job with True Blue.

Delete your account for that blasphemy

It should be a law the original tracklists should NEVER be rearranged. You want bonus tracks? Tag them at the end of the album or on a separate disc.

Why does Hard Candy need to be ‘remastered’?

I hope that “crimes against humanity” edition gets deleted off streaming as soon as we get the deluxe!

Exactly - none of her albums post like a prayer need remastering - they were all done digitally - i find it so dumb when fans want albums remastered , as if they were ever sound any different
