it's gonna be just as bad as Hard Candy or MDNA

she's the new "has-been but still selling" veteran artist of the show business...

Says a guy named after the guitarist from Aerosmith, the AARP champions of "has-been but still selling" veteran artists. Pot Meets Kettle, that was Aerosmith's last album title right? Loved the ride at Walt Disney World. Hope the country/EDM solo album from Steven sells gangbusters.

Slow news day it seems.

says a guy who assumes I still respect/dig the new stuff of Aerosmith (I don't) and who fails to see that, in my profile, Madonna is listed as one of my top5 fav artists

but she's done, face it (I have), of course she'll sell till the day she retires, but that doesn't mean her new "music" has to excite/interest me

Honestly I didn't expect such a cookie cutter hater-style post from you as you're a quality poster. And I agree Aerosmith has been somewhat lacking since 2000.

Its also a bit sad that this material isn't impacting you. I'm totally energized by it (can ya tell? ), I fell for her during Bedtime Stories so the recent leaks with less emphasis on disco have been sort of a second renaissance. This stuff is light years from Hard Candy, in my humble o. People call that her last pop/non-dance album but most of it is 4/4 disco style tunes just with pop producers vs dance/electronic-style producers.

What the fucked just happened!

Just watched the Brits performance, which was essentially a re-do of the Grammy's performance with some tweaks. Unfortunately, the cape she was wearing at the beginning didn't detach, and when the backup dancers snatched it for a quick reveal, they yanked her down some stairs onto the floor. Not the water cooler moment she was hoping for, I'm sure. I hope she's okay.

All I got to say about that incident. Ouch!

Dude,if you really feel this way,why are you in a thread devoted to her new album? I'm sure there are plenty of other artists who interest you.Start a thread about their latest music.

I don't know what she just released. It's like an album, a remaster of the album, and a ton of b sides that should have been on the album. It's a mess, really, but I'm digging the music more than I have since, well, Music.

I don't understand this weird binarity. Someone's either "done", or ... I guess "not done"? JoeTyler if you go around seeing black and white you're gonna miss all the fun to be had in the grey areas.

of course, when I say she's done, I mean done in my world...she's done as far as I'm concerned

I don't hate her at all, but if she wants MY money (not that she needs it, of course ) she should change her WHOLE approach (different sound, pop/rock songwriters, less DJ shit, less dancing/campy/gaudy shit on tours, etc.)

you guys have fun, but I've jumped out of the M wagon...

Nobody said that but it is a strong album.Have you heard the songs "Joan Of Ark","Devil Pray","Ghosttown","Wash All Over Me","Messiah" and the title track? Some of the strongest songs she's ever done!

I dare you to say all those songs suck

I admit I have to give the album a second (and a third, maybe) chance, but so far, the album, like HC and MDNA has left me extremely COLD after the very first listen...

right now I can't say which of the last three albums is the worst...

Oh, damn!

Looks like Living For Love shot up to #2 on the UK Itunes chart right before the Brit Awards...

Madonna discusses Lady Gaga...

How could you like Madonna in the first place then? She's not a pop rock artist. She started out in clubs and working with dj's from the beginning of her career. She's trained as a professional dancer before she ever got into music. I don't see how she could totally change her whole approach and still be Madonna. Not sure you were ever on her wagon.

I know,right? This guy wants Madonna to be something that she never was.

I'm not feeling this new song. It sounds like a filler song on an album. And BTW, I always thought that wrecking ball song would have been the perfect song for Madonna, instead of Madonna wannabe chipmunk singing it.

"So if I have to be the person who opens the door for women to believe and understand and embrace the idea that they can be sexual and look good and be as relevant in their fifties or their sixties or whatever as they were in their twenties, then so be it.

Now, that I know she's all right, I have to chuckle at the irony of the LFL lyrics:

Took me to heaven and let me fall down
Now that it's over I'm gonna carry on
Lifted me up, and watched me stumble
After the heartache I'm gonna carry on...
