personally, my favorite of Madonna's more recent albums... great album songs... absolutely ruined by awful single choices and cool mom attempts.

rebel heart is one of her best but hard candy is worse than trash.

I agree Rebel Heart is good. I don’t understand the hate. Hard Candy is really not THAT bad. Its her second worse to MDNA but like its leagues better than MDNA

Madonna has been desperately doing "cool mom" for the last decade, and is still doing it.

It has 4 or 5 decent tracks on it which is double the other 2 albums.

Overall Madge phoned it in, I believe William Orbit called her out for it. There is something called Madonnalogues on you tube which in a funny way shows how she made the album

There was the usual rapper cut and paste in of whoever she believed would make her cool with the kids, same with Brain Fart and the new album

The tour was pretty good, it needed less new stuff which most people didn't want to hear and more hits.

Standout track was Love Spent, but I'm a Sinner, Masterpiece, Falling Free and Beautiful Killer weren't bad

half the album is pure trash but between Rebel Heart and MDNA I prefer MDNA's trash

the song S.E.X. is totally unredeemable  and a disgrace in her discography, no matter what anyone says......

I think it is an album to be appreciated by listening front to back. It is actually a really good album and I love the songs. I think it is her least focused and it has less of a specific theme and aesthetic than most of her past work, but it is still a really good album. Also, I think it is possibly the most of all her albums where she was given/bought songs to work on rather than worked closely with a producer to create the album.

Bitch I'm Madonna

Totally agree! 💯

MDNA was (of all albums..) the album that turned me into a fan of her. The super bowl performance coupled with the album's release made me discovery all of her discography. I got pit tickets to her MDNA show, which was absolutely amazing! 

As for the album, I now do see that it is weaker than some of her other works, and she was making music simply to make music and capitalize off of it, rather than stick to a cohesive theme or genre. Still, Girl Gone Wild is such a bop, Gang Bang is the angry song we all want to sing, I'm Addicted is EDM bliss, Turn Up the Radio is that fun bop song that literally makes me want to turn up the volume of. 

I oddly appreciate the lyricism of Some Girls (though the vocal production is jarring), Love Spent (especially the I've version) is most incredible, and Falling Free is one of the most beautiful songs I have on my iTunes library. Beautiful Killer and Best Friend are to sold bonus tracks too. All the others I mentioned, I have no thoughts for. I F*cked Up is pleasantly surprising, granted, a little too explicit for no real reason.

I think that MDNA was her weakest album. I do still listen to “I dont give A..”, “Gang Bang”, and “Girl Gone wild” (“Falling Free” is ok). It is not a bad album per se and If it were any other artist I would think otherwise maybe. But its Madonna. When you have a discography with albums like Like a Prayer, Erotica, and Ray of LIght; an album like MDNA just pales by comparison.

It’s not half as bad as people like to say it is, there are serious bops on that one. The main thing that irks me with MDNA is that she desperately tried to go on Gaga territory and prove something.

Rebel Heart, on the other hand, is the real trainwreck of her discography and I’ll never understand how people can put it above MDNA and tracks like Gang Bang, I’m Addicted or Love Spent, that are totally brilliant. While I don’t hate everything on Rebel Heart, the brilliant moments are sparse... Some tracks make it feel like a Madonna parody record. Tastes are subjective of course, but no true Madonna fan in their right mind would consider Rebel Heart a remotely good album as a whole.

i agree so much. rebel heart doesnt exist for me... thats how i deal with it

calling gaga reductive and put out the worst album of her career was a bold move

 

i don't hate it tho. Masterpiece and Love Spent are my favorites
