American Life, Love Profusion and Die Another Day.

Super Dooper Album

Posted by: blacksquare Dec 24 2017, 06:54 PM

I hate how underappreciated this album is/was

I would kill for another album like this instead of everything post-Hard Candy (the actual holy trinity are Ray of Light/Music/American Life - sorry Confessions)

Posted by: vibe Dec 25 2017, 08:52 AM

This was easy to choose

1. Easy ride
2. Nobody Knows Me
3. Nothing fails

Merry Christmas Madge!

May as well do this while I’m waiting for the family to get up... and it’s a clear top 3 of:

01 Intervention (by miles)
02 Die Another Day
03 Nothing Fails

Posted by: HausAlone Dec 26 2017, 02:42 PM

I'm going to give the album another listen before I commit because there are a few songs where there is nothing between them. A fantastic album!

LP winning , very unexpected

Nothing Fails
Intervention
Easy Ride

I think that's the first time I've voted for non-singles (pretending that 'Nothing Fails' didn't receive a release in a small selection of countries!) but this was much harder than expected. 'American Life' and 'Die Another Day' could easily have been Top 3 too so it's not like I don't love the singles too.

Definitely a surprise to see 'Love Profusion' do so well. Perhaps a case of the hate for the track (or rather the video and the decision to make it a single?) just drowns out the love.

Intervention (her best song ever)
American Life
X-Static Process

Posted by: vibe Jan 2 2018, 03:32 PM

What an even spread

Surprised easy ride isn’t getting more love .

Posted by: liamk97 Jan 2 2018, 04:11 PM

Incredibly close this round! Poor 'I'm So Stupid' being the only one with no votes.

Posted by: slowdown73 Jan 3 2018, 10:27 PM

Die another day, mother & father and nobody knows me are my favourites.

Posted by: HausAlone Jan 6 2018, 09:20 PM

After listening through again, American Life, Intervention and Love Profusion have nabbed my top 3 but it was tough. Great, consistent album!

Nobody Knows Me
Intervention
Mother and Father

Nobody Knows Me
Easy Ride
Mother and Father

I do love the album and the title track (expletive rap version only), Hollywood and I'm So Stupid are also fab. Die Another Day is such an odd song within the context of the album, it's so produced and doesn't really fit with the overall sound despite being a really rather good song (albeit an abysmal Bond theme).

Posted by: blacksquare Apr 13 2018, 02:24 PM

I don't think I could choose just three from this. It's so difficult, similar with Ray of Light.

Posted by: liamk97 Apr 15 2018, 04:44 PM

I actually find 'Die Another Day' slots in quite nicely, particularly lyrically; the idea of destroying one's ego is kind of in response to the themes dealt with in 'Hollywood' and the way the lyrics are delivered remind me of the verses to 'Love Profusion'. It probably is the most produced song but the album is full of wacky productions so it fits well for me. I also find it a great Bond song although that opens up all whole new debate!

Wow at 5 songs tied in the lead with 2 more just 1 vote behind! This really is her most compact album.

Can anyone help?!

I have the CD of the album American Life and everytime i try and upload it onto my iTunes Library the whole thing sounds really fuzzy like every single song on the album.

It's the same with her True Blue album as well.

I've bought them again off eBay but I was wondering if anyone else had the same issue and if it's something to do with the CDs themselves?

Every other album plays fine but for some reason those two I mentioned for some reason have the same issue.

I was gonna buy them from iTunes but I like to have the actual CDs
