I'd still like to see her do a rock album.I really like the rock-ish feel of "I Love New York" (despite the crappy lyrics,lol).She should say Fuck it,and just do a loud,aggressive rock album.She's been flirting with the idea for awhile now.

oh by the way,Depeche Mode performed in my area on Friday night and my girlfriend went.You are a big fan,right?

DavidEye said:

Yeah, huge. You know much of their stuff?

DavidEye said:

I think "American Life" is the closest we're gonna get in sound and attitude.

GangstaFam said:

Not really.My girlfriend doesn't know much about them either,but her friend had an extra ticket so she decided to check it out.The next day,she went out and bought their latest CD 'Playing The Angel' (I think that's the title?).


I'll listen to their CD,and see if I like it.

GangstaFam said:

I hope not! Madonna can make a better rock album than that

The stuff on 'Remixed and Revisted' is great.That's the direction I'd like to see her go in,if only for one album.

I was expecting a little acid techno or eurodisco, because that's what in right now in the clubs. I just wasn't expecting every track to be these type of songs. I was expecting some stuff like "Thief Of Hearts", "Ray Of Light", or "Music". All dance tracks but a variety of different dance styles.

I'm starting to warm up to the song about New York and maybe one or two more.

"I Love New York" kicks ass! Musically,it's similiar to 'Ray Of Light'.The lyrics are shit,but it's a fun song with alot of attitude.

DavidEye said:

same here, its my favourite on the album, and actually i dont think the lyrics are that bad. usually i cringe like on mother and father when she has terrible lyrics, but on i love new york i guess the song is so good i dont even care about the lyrics. its good to finally see someone like this song, all the people on the madonna forums and even most on here always put it in the bottom of their favourites list.

i like it more after listening to it live.

hellomoto said:

I like the sound,the attitude,and the urgency of "I Love New York".It's an explosive track! Rolling Stone's review of the album suggests that the album could have used more of this "Ciccone sass"

DavidEye said:

To me it seems more related to "Candy Perfume Girl" and "I'm So Stupid". I like the song a lot too, so I guess that makes 3 of us.

DavidEye said:

It's a really good album. Definitely a return to form. If you like even some of it, I'd recommend you go out and get "Violator" ASAP.

GangstaFam said:

you can almost picture her with a guitar,looking pissed off,performing this song on tour next year

DavidEye said:

That'd be great, but I can't picture her toting any guitars on this next tour.

besides the crappy rhyming couplets... WHY did Madonna feel the need to put down Paris, London, and Los Angeles in that song to make her point?

That makes it hard to perform the song in any other city but New York.

I like U2's dedication to "New York" more.

GangstaFam said:

Not!

DavidEye said:

Shit sounds like "Bedtime" "Stories"

CinisterCee said:

U2's is SO good.

But yeah, you make a good point. I bet she leaves it out of her set for that very reason.

Madonna "I Love New York" Live from London

Cheek said:

I can never get those to work.

TRON said:

She explains the audience that she loves London too but New York taught her how to survive...

I still don't understand why other cities make her feel like a dork???

Cheek said:

I don't think she really means it. We all know she loves London. Miami too. We also know she hates LA.

I think she just wanted to do a fun send-up of the city she came of age in.

TRON said:

If she doesn't really mean it then she shouldn't sing it!

I think this song isn't fun - it's lame...

I love Madonna but she starts to annoy me!

Cheek said:

I don't think it's meant to be taken seriously. Any song that uses "dork", "eff off" and rhymes mad, sad and glad can't be serious. I think it's her trying to be irreverant and punk rock. I'm not saying she succeeds, but I think it's just meant to be a fun, silly song.

GangstaFam said:

why not?

DavidEye said:

no guitars she didn't do it at KoKo or G-A-Y and i hope that's the way the tour is too

DavidEye said:

If it's gonna be an all dance show, being anchored down by a guitar doesn't really go with the theme.

GangstaFam said:

She should carry around a huge cocaine spoon, not a guitar.

CinisterCee said:

LMAO! She should dress like a mirror too.
