Phoebe Buffay 12,525 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 over the years, i've seen a lot of negative thoughts directed to this album and i wanna ask why? yes, it is not a masterpiece like erotica, ray of light, american life, confessions on a dance floor and bedtime stories were/are but still it's a fun and upbeat dance/edm record. great melodies, average lyrics, the music videos are some of her best in my opinion, turn up the radio excluded.  she gave us bops for days: girl gone wild, gang bang, i'm addicted, i don't give a, love spent, masterpiece, falling free, beautiful killer, best friend... also, let's not at the tour, her best one to date. the choreography, the costumes, the big ass stage, the lightning, the props, the storyline... every single thing was perfectly executed and she did all that at 54, whew. this is an appreciation thread for the album and just for the record, i'm not trying to say that mdna is one of her best, just it doesn't deserve all the hate it gets.

Rio 5,088 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Rebel Heart was better, but tbh, Gang Bang is probably one of my Top 5 Madonna songs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way less autotune. Concept better executed. But the MDNA tour had te better opening Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FfFfFfFF 54,014 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Imo the production was off and the direction of the album felt inauthentic and pandering to the youth, it lacked depth and message. It even has a LMFAO remix thrown in the tracklisting.  Not to say she collaborated with W. Orbit for some of the songs, this hyped the fans and the expectations were definitely not met in the end. The songs were ok melodically but I don't think any of them could be considered pop perfection. The best songs were the ones that didn't really fit the album - Masterpiece and Falling Free.

Little Monstera 3,598 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Girl Gone Wild, Gang Bang & I Don't Give A are iconic The cover tho, truly a reverse Warholian Masterpiece.mp3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bio 23,538 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 The tour was great but the album is probably her worst to date. Still had nice moments like Girl Gone Wild, Love Spent, Masterpiece and Falling Free tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAmNotHere1997 25,824 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 It's a good pop album, but there's just something off with it. It feels somehow bland, and just a sell-out album. All of her other body of works had a concept, this one is just ... here. I love it nevertheless. Also, let's not forget the slayage of the photoshoot.

Well, we're talking about the 80s here, Being cheesy was the main aesthetic lol. While MDNA has songs like Turn Up The Radio, Give Me All Your Luvin', Superstar, Some Girls, I Don't Give A, Gang Bang, B-Day Song which are all pure noise and the REAL definition of cheesiness.

HorusRa2 4,978 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Ugh. Some tracks were so good but the others were so bad. I tend to listen to an entire album as opposed to just random songs so itâs hard for me to go to this one.  Im still waiting for her to deliver. Itâs been a long time since Hard Candy. â ïž Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
