One of the Most Under-Rated Albums of All Time!

This is one of the most under-rated albums of all time. It would be impossible for me to disagree with the “mob” anymore than I already do. I think one of the main reasons why this album did not receive the sales that it should have is due to the fact that it was just released at the wrong time, which is most unfortunate.

I think Madonna really revels herself to the public. (In a different manner than what we are used to, if you catch my drift.) The songs seem to be much more personal than in any of her other albums, as they talk about Madonna coming to grips with her fortune and fame, her acceptance of her mother’s tragic death, and “finding herself” in terms of religion.

As far as my favorite song in the album goes, I would have to say it would have to be “Easy Ride,” even though each song featured in this album is wonderful in its own unique way. Although “Easy Ride” is probably one of the lowest ranking songs in Madonna’s career, I feel that is sends one of her most powerful messages. After all, the message pertains to all of us, since are lives will all surely go “round and round, just like a circle,” and if we try hard enough, we can finally “see the clearer picture.”

I suppose the bottom line is this: you NEED to purchase this CD. Perhaps it will help you on your journey to “finding yourself.” I know it has helped me.

not with the mob on this one

Although most people did not like this CD and it did not do well in terms of sales, I would have to disagree with the general public. The CD is absolutely wonderful. The lyrics communicate pain, happiness, disappointment, but all are supported by well-chosen beats and rhythms. The music spans from guitar and piano to synthesizer and electronically generated sounds. If you are a fan of Madonna's later music, this is the one for you collection.

A tad bit boring

Overall, I really do like the album-- yet I do not feel it is one of her best.

Yes, most of the tunes are upbeat and catchy. But with the exception of maybe the first two on the track they seem to be missing something. Some people compare this album with Confessions on a Dance Floor. To me there is no comparison. Confessions is like 10 times better in my opinion.

Even though it may not be one of her best it is still worth having and I am glad I purchased it. It completes my collection. No album that she does, in my opinion, is all bad.

some of Madonna's greatest work, i absolutely cannot get enough of this CD! every song has a different feel, and it's great being able to dance, sing, or just chill and listen to the music. 2 thumbs up!

I've always loved this cd and glad to again have a copy. It's great when life's been a challenge and I want a reminder that I've gotten through it so far!
