Rebel Heart - Album Thread [Happy 1st Birthday!]

[Scorpio 0]

The tracklist flows really well and is in the correct order it should be (the first 19 tracks), idk what's wrong with some people, at least have some knowledge on the subject before you comment

#RebelHeart is #4 in her second week on Germany Official Albums Chart!

[groovyguy 63,856]

#RebelHeart has been certified Gold in Italy (Fimi) sold over more than 25,000 in one Week.

I guess I might be a bit of the "old school", the album + b-sides school.

 

14-19 tracks is way too much anyway. Reminds me of Tori Amos' bloathed later works, the album gets boring by the end or some songs do not quite fit it.

 

But still: Rebel Heart is miles ahead of Hard Candy (2/10, why!!!) or MDNA (4/10), two albums I pretend do not exist. The leaks shows RH could have been really good.

I know all our assumptions might not be true but it's akward to hear that Madonna's label wouldn't allow her to release a double album but would be more than eager to release 3 different CD packages to prove that Madonna fans still buy her music and push the whole project a bit higher in the charts. From a marketing perspective it does sound ambitious, but from an artistic one not so much. Madonna doesn't seem to be the free artist people are used to talk about. Whatever.

 Yeah, this much is certain. Perhaps she really doesn't care that much, it's the tour that makes her the big money?

An amazing FAKE edition. I want this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[thatLHC 151]

i'd pay for that, honestly.

[manoba 699]

I bet it's Chinese. That is what the super deluxe should have been.

[SimonVenekeo 1,893]

Seriously same. I asked the person who posted it where they saw it.

[Frank 42,521]

Look for it on Ebay. I have seen sometimes an spanish seller that sells fanmade stuff like that one and it looks a lot like this one's also coming from him.

The person who posted it hasn't seen it on eBay but knows the person who bought it and asked them.

ok but that's the 19-track version, right?

What I still think is odd is that she didn't put the Rebel Heart song on the Standard version.

[Fighter 28,798]

What is this supposed to mean? She named the album after that song, isn't this an acknowledgement of its potential?

 

The avicii version should've been the lead single, best song of the sessions along with Ghosttown.

[Fighter 28,798]

I'm going out this week to buy the album and hopefully Ill also find Björk's album.

 

I hope I'm not going out for nothing since I may not find the strings cover? I don't want the red cover...

I'm guessing so, since the flap that holds the cd had Rebel Heart on it, even though the tracklist isn't in the correct order.

[ARTforFREEDOM 16]

True. Label should've respected Madonna's wishes and she shouldn't have backed down. i dont know why she lets people dictacte so much of her, sounds like insecurity to me.   and the stupid label 

 

Album is great anyway but as a double album and maybe 2 lead singles, would've been more exciting conceptually. 

 

If she wants a label she has to follow their orders.

 

She told in a interview but she should have done anyway, let's apply "Bitch, I'm Madonna".

 

If Beyoncé did with I Am Sasha Fierce, why her label didn't let Madonna do it

 

They're on different labels

 

I heard Christina had the same issues with Back to Basics but she won in the end.

 

They're on different labels

 

Where did she say that the label rejected the idea?Isn't it just a concept that evolved, especially after the leaks?Back To Basics was 15 years ago, Sasha Fierce was 10 years ago. The industrial/business context was not the same. Comparing them to RH makes no valid point.And once again, the Interscope deal is distribution only, they have no creative input.

 

lol wrong

[Breathless 5,286]

Playpause: Yes, they do sell the standard version online (slap!) loool I got mine from Amazon and also from Sweden, but then found out that they're exactly the same, i.e manufactured in EU, The Netherlands!

 

I was waiting for the LP to be released here because they said they would get it in. No sign of it, so I'm glad I got mine online instead. Can never really trust the shops here.....

[madgefan 10,152]

lol wrong

 

And who said they were on the same label? I just mentioned Christina's case cause it's a similar situation, in which the singer actually ruled over his or her bosses.

[SimonVenekeo 1,893]

I finally got my Wow HD editions of the Super Deluxe Editions....definitely what I expected, lesser quality of the official. The writing on the back cover is a little blurry and there isn't the Parental Advisory on it.I didn't open them in case for whatever reason they're clean.
