I have been listening to Isaac a lot recently!!! What a total grower !

 

Bring the heaven and the stars down to earth for me !!!

Big highlight from Confessions! Glad it's been growing on you - I think at one point I wasn't too sure about it but then it really hit me big time. That mini drop at 4:44-4:48 is soooo good. :wub:

 

I have good news for Johnkm and other fans - Erotica has finally clicked with me!

 

Erotica Rank

01. Deeper and Deeper

02. Bad Girl

03. Rain

04. In This Life

05. Erotica

06. Waiting

07. Where Life Begins

08. Fever

09. Thief of Hearts

10. Bye Bye Baby

11. Words

12. Why's It So Hard

13. Secret Garden

 

Was really hard to compile that list because the album, in the same way as her debut album, is so consistent in sound and quality. Honestly no bad songs on the list so even those that missed the Top 10 have something special about them. I found that reading the lyrics in the booklet whilst the songs played really allowed me to appreciate the album for what it is. 'Where Life Begins' is actually really funny with its endless innuendos and 'Words' is like a lyrical prologue to 'Bedtime Story'. 'Rain', although one of my favourites, sticks out like a sore thumb on this album in terms of sound - 'Bad Girl' and 'Deeper and Deeper' to an extent to, but the former sounds similar to 'In This Life' at parts and the latter is essential to the album. Speaking of 'In This Life', I'll probably rank it higher in time because reading the first two verse really moved me.

 

After appreciating the lyrics, I was then able to enjoy the subtlety of the music. In a lot of tracks, it sounded similar to the music you associate with late night jazz bars, which suits the theme of the album rather well.

 

So yeah, really liking it and probably already prefer it to Bedtime Stories which had clicked early in the year.

You have seriously underrated whys it so hard ? :)

I do still like it and think it has a great message, it just feels too simplistic in comparison to the rest, I guess. That order is probably going to change a lot anyway! :lol:

We put 'Like a Prayer' on the jukebox when I went out for my birthday last night and it was a real joyous moment as the pub all clapped, danced and/or sang along.

 

Exactly what the song is designed to do.

I was in a straight student bar bout two weeks ago, like a prayer was played and everyone knew it, was singing to it and was loving it !! It really is a song that appeals to anyone :)

 

 

Have always liked this, but it's just SHOT up in my affections this weekend. From that ghostly "you can call me M tonight" to that stunning instrumentation in the chorus, a totally mesmerising, atmospheric beauty with lovely lyrics. :wub: :wub:

That's awful though.

You think the same of 'Hung Up' so...

Best night is one of my faves from rebel heart

Hung Up is like a 5.

 

I'm still not hugely in love with it, but the tour has made me really appreciate 'Holiday' a lot more! I don't return to much of the debut album (apart from 'Borderline' of course) but this is totally timeless music :music: <3

Listening to Like A Prayer at the moment, still absolutely incredible and the best thing she has ever done :wub:

Such an epic and fantastic pop song which really is one of the best of all time :heart: :heart:

It's a timeless song full of so much meaning. I think it will forever mean something to music listeners no matter what generation hears it. The music video, the song itself, the live performances.. everything about it is pure perfection <3

Gave 'American Life' a listen earlier, despite the negativity it sometimes gets I will argue in its defense. The harsh facade that the opening songs give are quickly dismissed with the incredible ballads on it. 'Love Profusion', 'Intervention' and 'Nothing Fails' are just sensational and I much prefer that side of the album to the (albeit very fun) IN-YOUR-FACE stuff. Overall it's a very solid album imo <3

 

 

:wub:

It's her third favourite album for me, such interesting production throughout. I think Hollywood is probably my favourite track though!

:o I wouldn't put it that high but it's a fantastic album for me as I said <3

 

Aside: JOSH where you been, you need to post more in the Madonna forum! Get stuck in please :kiss:

Everyone knows by now American Life is my favourite Madonna album and probably in my top 5 all time faves too. The way she combined electronic and acoustic songs

while still make it flow well is a work of magic. Intervention remains her best song too.

 

:heart:

 

Effortlessly uplifting and joyous. I don't go back to the album as a whole much compared to some of her other albums but the highlights off it are so good. Also a Rebel Heart Tour highlight for me :wub: impossible to NOT smile when listening to it.
