She was on a real roll with American Life and Confessions. I'm super skeptical about this new album, but I hope beyond hope that I will be proved wrong.

SoulAlive said:

There you go!

Moonbeam said:

The rule of thumb with any new Madonna album is: if you're expecting it to sound like the previous album,you will be disappointed This album won't sound anything like 'Confessions' or 'American Life'.

SoulAlive said:

I wasn't expecting it to sound like Confessions. I was, however, expecting it so sound good. JT napalms good.

I'm not interested or excited by any of these details.

Moonbeam said:

You may not like this record,then.Much of it was clearly inspired by the sound of 'FutureSex/LoveSounds'.

I'm buying this for sure, as I have most of madonna's albums, and feel that her current ones are excellent, and hopefully this album will continue that. I also like pharrell, timbaland and kanye, so hopefully the collaboration worked out great.

So much for accuracy...She still owes Warners an album so this one will be her last for them. Working with MJ next door....indeed!

VinnyM27 said:

yeah,I noticed that error too They got it all mixed up.The first album under her LiveNation deal won't appear until about three years from now.

Moonbeam said:

Me too. And from the report, I'm even less excited if she's so hot for Candy Shop that she wants it to be the first single. I was hoping that as work progressed on the album, that she'd realize this track was a complete dud and would replace it with something good.

be back later, I'm still tallying the recycled titles she named everything

This sounds boring. I'll give it a go, but I dunno. Not excited at all.

David, I'm curious why you're excited by any of this. Aside from the fact that it's Madonna, it has all the hallmarks of an album you'd otherwise ignore. I'd not dismissing it before I hear it, but even other Madonna albums that I ended up liking (Music, for example) had more of my interest when I heard the early details. This one? Not so much.

On the other hand, *I* am looking forward to this album, and appreciate SoulAlive reporting the details.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I get excited when any of my favorite artists releases a new album.I started a thread to discuss the listening party.I can't comment on how the new album sounds because (guess what?) I haven't heard it yet.But as a fan,I am eager to hear it.I like the rumors,the tracklist,the hype.I don't think there's anything unusual about that.

Cinnie said:

thank you

Well I'm excited, I can't wait to hear the new album .

SoulAlive said:

I'm aware you hadn't hear it and didn't think I implied otherwise. Of course, there's nothing unusual about looking forward to a new album by one of your favorites. It just seems like if this album were from somebody else, you wouldn't be as excited.

Eh, but whatever. Ignore me. I'm just being a snarky ass. I'll probably ending up making out to it on the first day of release and ending up with a whole slew of gaybies all courtesy of Give It to Me (The STD Song). I even love I'm Breathless, and everyone cacas on that one.

Can't wait to hear the new album in full....I liked the leaked stuff so the real mccoy should be awesome.

Fingers crossed for an accompanying Tour!!!!

wow, this sounds a hot mess...

in the bad way.

First Michael lost the plot, then Princey fell. Janet was next, but I thought Madge had escaped the curse... But everything I've heard about this album, every leak, every fake tracklisting, every "insider report" has made me . I can't believe Madge is deluded enough to think that

a)People will accept her fake British ass with an R&B album
b)the lyrics on these songs sound good.

Oh well, I guess this goes in the "Invincible", "20 YO", and "3121" pile. At least Brucey and Bono are still releasing worthy material

if nothing else I still have Kylie.

I am sure there will at least be a couple of good tracks. The overall album -- sounds mediocre. But hopefully all of us will be pleasantly surprised.

Cinnie said:

You should know better than to expect original lyrics from Madonna. And as if to confirm her position as The Worst Lyricist With A Record Deal, she gives us this gem..."Hey girl, save the world".

Raze said:

Agree completely. I couldn't bear to listen to that song a second time, a rarity with Madonna. (I usually can give each song a a few spins.) Doesn't bode well...makes me think of Prince going "Awwww, hell yeah. Greatest Romance. Number one with a bullet!"

SoulAlive said:

Is that really the name of the album? That would mean there was a song called licorice (though the last album was the few times she called the album something different than a song on the album)

twink69 said:

Madonna is working with producers who do know hip hop (I am sure she does as well).

Hip Hop close to Jazz? Hardly. Hip Hop can have jazz elements but it's not even close.

This is something new?

SO HOT!!!!
