ANTI WP - nothing to say ... great song Sneaky Oliver - It's a beautiful reflection about her own life and everything she was living at the time: motherhood, Kabbalah, her views on the world's issues, war and politics in general. It's clear that fame, richness or status haven't alienated her and she's still very conscious about life, her mission on Earth and her spiritual journey. Everybody has one, it doesn't matter if you are one of the biggest artists of history. Classical music is most evident in this track but without losing the overall vibe of the album. lost in limbo - This track is so beautiful in so many ways. The lyrics are so great and represent not just American Life, but the road Madonna was travelling at the time. The production is subtle but hits every mark, and work in perfect balance with Madonna's vocals. The track is definitely a grower, seeing as it was initially my least favorite on American Life and it grew on me so much to the point it's now one of my faves. Nothing can describe what I feel in my chest hearing "I am home". And the outro? PURE EXCELLENCE. One of her best tbh. This entire song is, imo, a career highlight. Perfect way to end one of her best albums. I don't hate it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANTI WP 19,825 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 22 minutes ago, Phoebe Buffay said: #09 | Mother and Father Score: 7,92 Commentary: Hide contents lost in limbo - Underrated. I love the lyrics and that bridge is AMAZING. Sneaky Oliver - This track takes back the experimental sound from the first half of the album just in time. I like how the flow and tempo keep changing throughout the song. I love the "grouchy " speaking part. It sounds as if she's reluctant to confess her own mistakes. corvus albus - What is this voice? I mean this reminds way too much of Who's That Girl (movie and song) -_- Then there's another rap verse which... exists. It's not terrible but certainly not acceptable. ANTI WP - omg why the **** madonna using that horrible autotune ?? 😡😡😡😡 eminem who ?? FfFfFfFF - Another fantastic song with a fantastic beats and synths. The Reinvention Tour Version where she blended some parts from Intervention is just as amazing, possibly even more. I gave 9.7 omg no but that what's she get for using that horrible autotune Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoebe Buffay 12,525 Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 #07 | Nobody Knows Me Score: 8,263 Commentary: Spoiler FfFfFfFF - a full on banger ANTI WP - kinda relatable to the lyrics but the autotune and the length killed the song 😓 corvus albus - Atrocious overuse of autotune. Actually catchy beat but the vocal drag this song down several spots. lost in limbo - I'll be honest and say this song has regressed on me lol. It used to be my favorite on American Life but idk I guess as I re-listened to the album my view changed. Also damn that ripple effect is annoying, which is why it loses half a point. BESIDES THAT THO, it's an excellent track and very much an American Life-type of track if that makes sense. It's a classic and I still love it a lot (it's a track I can relate to as well so that adds a bonus point). Sneaky Oliver - This is perhaps my favorite Madonna song EVER. I think it's all about how our inner selves are always going through changes and improvements to the point nobody will be ever be able to completely know us. It's also about separeting yourself from the superficial views people may have about you in order to get "close to the light". I love the inclusion of backwards vocals, I think she could have explored more of this throughout the album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
