It's a shame that Give It 2 Me is tacked onto such a weak album. The other singles are very good too (Miles Away is a major tune), but the rest falls quite flat.

I actually really love this album. It's not perfect, but it has the same amount of fillers every Madonna album has.

 

Amazing:

4 Minutes

Give It 2 Me

Heartbeat

Devil Wouldn't Recognize You

Voices

 

Great:

Miles Away

Incredible (too long though)

Spanish Lesson (terrible lyrics but great music/melody)

 

Average:

Candy Shop

Ring My Bell

 

Shιt:

She's Not Me

Beat Goes On

Dance 2night

 

Album cover/artwork is absolutely terrible and I blame it for flopping and not being taken seriously by people.

I love this album!!! More singles needed to be released! The beat goes on would have been huge .

 

Amazing = Give It 2 Me, The Beat Goes On, Miles Away, Devil, Heartbeat, She's Not Me, 4 Minutes

Good = Across The Sky, Ring My Bell, Incredible, Spanish lesson

Average = Voices, Dance 2nite

 

Totally hate the album cover and not a fan of the GITM video !

Definitely her worst album, truly awful.

 

Save for 4 Minutes, Give It 2 Me, Miles Away and maybe at a push Devil... and Beat Goes On.

 

I agree with you that its her worst album but I did like give it 2 me, miles away and one or two others. MDNA is not far behind though!

When listening back to the album, there's nowhere near as many tracks I thought I disliked. Confessions on a Dance Floor and MDNA are much better, but it's still a pretty great album. There are 6 highlights for me which is more than some other Madonna albums, with a further four being worthy album tracks. I think the singles were picked perfectly, there may have been a couple of songs I prefer in terms of quality but I don't think those would have worked as singles. '4 Minutes' has got capturing a younger audience and not being generic/cheesy pretty balanced, something 'Give Me Your Luvin'' perhaps didn't do quite so well. 'Give It 2 Me' is my favourite Hard Candy single and I would like Madonna to explore than dance/R&B style a bit more and 'Miles Away' is one which is fantastic live and causes a great atmosphere, and also one I sometimes overlook and don't realise how great it is until I hear it again.

 

'Beat Goes On' is quite catchy so I'm not too bothered with it being on the album, but 'Spanish Lesson' is quite bad and I would welcome one of the demos to have made the album if they are good enough.

Major love for that top 3 and everything down to #07. is decent too. The rest though :manson:

 

Makes me want to take part in a FULL Madonna rate. It's probably far too big a task to organise though, so i guess these album rates are enough :lol:

I've been making a list of my favourite Madonna singles recently, I could start that as thread once I've done if that suits you? :D

I don't think give it to me by JT and nelly is very similar to 4 minutes

i loved this album back then, now it's ok, it's still better than CRAP

 

i also hated 4 minutes and still do

That album put me off Madonna big time. Hope I recover again!!
