Honestly I do agree. People call it a flop, maybe it is sales wise but there is some great material on this album.

The Lost Children was too much, but otherwise i've come to appreciate every song for what it is on it.

Sure he was following to trends on this album, but who cares? It's MJ not Usher

I would definitely be upset if her next album had the same sound, and I agree that the vocoder thing was so annoyingly out of date and rubbish, but I think it has some excellent songs right through the album - and could I just say I didnt hear anything techno about this album. I do think Mirwais is really talented, I think the problem was that Madonna missed a Pat Leonard type figure who could bring in that "classic" element to the songwriting, and let Mirwais focus on the experimental / production side of things. For me Nothing Fails, Hollywood and Mother & Father are the standout tracks. Mother and Father is just ridiculous sounding, but it works so well, I cant believe it was never a single.

There are definitely things missing from AL, but theres also alot of stuff that we've never really heard from madonna before and i found it quite refreshing. What I would hope for next is a great singles album, where there a are 3/4 really good standout tracks, and hopefully something really uplifting and....well....poppy.

Hell, no! Heartbreaker & Heaven Can Wait are two of my very faves on that album.

You think you're screaming now?

Hold on




Now you can scream

Cloudbuster said:

well heartbreaker isnt a bad song but its sounds very similar to the song before it and after so i though one should be taken out and i think its the worse out of the three, and as for heaven can wait, far faaaaar too sappy

PREACH! I don't even care for The Gold Experience that much, but I feel that Come just might be Prince's most solid 90's effort. I love that CD a lot. To me, it ranks right up there with his 80's work.

Agreed.Especially the first 6 or 7 songs.

what an absolutely inappropriate response to a post about an album called "COME".

my favorite madonna album, with 'bedtime stories' not too far behind.

I agree with you on 'Monster' (don't have 'Pop' by U2). This was the first REM-album I ever bought, simply because I was about 14 at the time it came out and listening to all that was rock and grunge.
It's very different from their other albums, but it has a haunting, heart-felt tension to it that I like very much. 'Let me in' and 'Bang and Blame' are superb, these two songs are able to make a pretty good album on their own. Besides, the rest of the songs are not bad at all!

Plus she looks great on the cover.

I'm with you although sometimes I favor "Bedtime Stories" more.

Monster was the very first REM cd that I bought with my own money and I still listen to it on occasion. Its a great album. I didnt even know that Monster had a reputation for being below par.

People seem to hate this cd here on the Org. I love it! Is it on Prince's top 10 best albums list? No, but its still a fun little funk ride. There are a couple of songs on the record that I never listen to (Shoo Beed Ooh and Until Youre In My Arms Again). I only listen to the last minute or so on When U Love Somebody. The rest of the record is a very satisfying funk and soul workout.

I love the pimp fest title track. I like the aquatic bass on there. My favorites on there are Freaks On This Side, Come On, and The One. Freaks On This Side is so slippery with that grease and ooohh.. those hornz, they just feel so right. I get so caught up. Come On is just fun to listen to on a loop while on a road trip, and The One needs no commentary. It speaks for itself. Wasted Kisses is a nice little surprise bonus track. Its like letting a peppermint disc disolve in your mouth after a six course meal.

This album gets soooo unfairly trashed. Its just not fair! Thats my

Well, in addition to the other cuts fellow orgers have mention, I also liked Whatever Happens which was duet between him and Santana.

I think there are far better albums to be mentioned than Invincible. I haven't listened to it for 3 years and I couldn't honestly care less for the album. It's a shame he doesn't trust himself so much that he would produce an album by himself, because I know he could if he just wanted to.

It's up there for me too. And even though it's loaded with the trendy house styles of the time, I think it's aged really well.
