done

[Nowheretohide 117]

That album was simply and unfortunately a wasted opportunity. Very good songs drowned in a sea of fillers. No doubt about the attribution of lower rankings...

[migsou 610]

I hated American Life with mmrrrrrrage - but this collection of demos destroyed by Diplo... it'll be hard not to give every track a zero. I haven't voted yet. Cunt get off my back.

Rebel Heart is tragic in many ways, it could have been one of her best albums

I played the full album after almost 6 years! What a beautiful work, the variety is crazy!!! I just love her pure voice in most of the tracks! I gave ALOT of 10s however no 11 on this album, you know why? Because almost every single track is good & nothing stands out from the rest… all good! 😌👏🏼
 

p.s. there is a “zero” 🤣

Not including the "Rebel Heart" title track on the standard edition remains a questionable choice.

It was probably something personal why she wanted to erase Avicii from the album. Or, she probably read the many comments complaining that it sounded more like an Avicii song than a Madonna song.

Undoubtedly, his remix of Rebel Heart would have been a far better choice as the first single than Living For Love. Even his remix of Wash All Over Me would have been a better choice. The final studio production of Living For Love just didn't work, even though the song had so much potential.

agree, it's obvious that they try to eliminate the Avicii sound at some point of the process, but the songs do sound better with his signiture production. hope these orginal mixes could be released with reissue or at least leak someday with the mastered quality

[Winn 1,389]

Whew, I almost forgot thnx for reminding me.

 

Voted!

[GhostOrchid 498]

Voted! 

This album is like McDonalds of the Madonna discography. But, I love me some generic, mass produced, heavily processed, bland junk food every now and then!

This is the first time I didn't give any 10s and for some reason it was a real drag to listen to today. All in all- just average.

That and the fact that Avicii was sick and couldn't finish the songs probably didn't help either...

Rebel Heart meant for me the reconciliation and recovery of my admiration for Madonna after the disappointment suffered because of Mdna. I have to be honest and admit that my fanaticism in a certain way cracked after Madonna released an album as ugly as Mdna and that is why I decided to "disconnect" from everything. That is why I did not know anything about what happened prior to the release of this wonderful album such as the leaks of the songs, the demos, the rumors about the double album, etc.

It wasn't until I accidentally saw her sing Devil Pray and Ghosttown live on YouTube that my fanaticism was reborn again, I was surprised by the quality of these songs and the feeling with which she sang them: the Madonna that I liked so much had returned after to be lost and disappeared for years. With some fear and suspicion I decided to listen to the entire album and discovered more gems like Illuminati, Holy Water and Autotune Baby, making this album one of my top 5.

I've definitely learned my lesson: we shouldn't let a small mistake affect our long-standing fanaticism towards Madonna. We all make mistakes in this world and the easiest thing is to criticize or censor but the challenge is knowing how to forgive and give second chances and turn the page. Although I have to admit that these latest releases are once again testing my fanaticism towards Madonna, but I am confident that I will succeed in this new internal struggle. If I did it before I can do it again now.
