The guidelines say: "If you wish to make a harsh comment, it must have a point or validation to back it up", and you failed at this simple task. Instead of discussing the merits of the album you came here to say he's wrong without anything to base your opinion around. Before saying he's wrong just hear what he has to say. Now to what you said, I never said you were wrong for saying what you said I just don't have to agree I already know all your comments about this album and your summary which ypu posted in the OP was enough for me to understand the point of this thread. Furthermore, I clarified what I had to say in my second post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This review is very well put together and it delves into several reasons why it failed to connect with the public. This is why I said that you should watch it before critizising it.

I didn't criticise the video itself 2. It won't change my opinion on the album especially since the two points which you already posted are not convincing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bling 12,253 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Most of his reasons to dislike the album were his (and the GP) expectations if what it was going to be, and him just not liking the sound I mean, I agree with him, but the way he presented his opinion makes him seem biased af Sigmund Freud, analyze this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeroen Bloeming 2,277 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I kinda have to agree on this video. Even though the album wasn't really bad or dull in my opinion. Some songs definitely were but not the whole album. About to watch the video for Filthy since I really love that MOTW. (Gonna get wps for just saying that probably) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManuelColon 702 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I first listened to American Life fully a few weeks ago while exercising (even tho i bought it over 12 years ago) and i can see the points that are being brought up, but i still consider this album to be full of beauty. Specially for what the other user said, the minor key sounds haunting and songs like Intervention, Easy Rise and X-Static Process are filled with emotion. Yes, some songs are not excellent, but i still really love the album and its construction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean just sonically itself it's not really pleasant... Because it's intelligent, meaningful, lyrics are eye-openers and life-changing and the experimental sound is cool and unique Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanxDream 2,049 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 The third biggest flop album by a major pop girl after Glitter and Bionic. Not everybody has that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverLoader 1,254 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Hmm I watched it all and I'm a big Madonna fan and AL is my LEAST fav Madonna album by far. He made some good points about the history of the album and he's right in that it did more or less finished her record of consecutive, expected hot 100 hits in the USA. However the later half of his video is mired down in simple personal preference and is not really the widely held critical view. Also , to say that Mike Posner and Drake are better writers was just embarrassing and after that I lost all respect for his opinion tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Of Light also has songs in a low key and they are very beautiful too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
