Pennywise 36,079 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Might be an unpopular opinion but this is my favorite Madonna album overall. Every single song is so good, but my faves are Easy Ride, X Static Process and Nothing Fails So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pennywise 36,079 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Also, the original American Life video is just incredible. It is perfectly American, and represents what America is from the point of view of a lot, a LOT of countries. So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted.

HuffsAhoy 7,433 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 One of my least favorite Madonna albums for the longest time until last year during lockdowns when I really took the time to listen to the lyrical content of the songs. I still feel the first three songs are rather weak but everything from Love Profusion to Easy Ride is god tier; though I did live for the performance of the title track during the Madame X Tour. It's definitely an underrated gem among Madonna's Immaculate Collection You remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 37,859 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I used to hate this album so much because it came from Ray of Light and Music to something about war but I was so young and didn't care about it. Takes years to truly appreciate this and Mirwais' sound. Another risky move in her career with that music video. Nothing Fails easily Top 5 Madonna songs ever.

js4754394o9823 6,882 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I liked this album a lot But interviews from that era are really sad She was talking about her past work in a really bad way She said that she was doing things just to shock people and it wasn't that deep And I don't think it's true, it seemed like people told her that so many times for so many years that she believed it herself at the end and it's heartbreaking to me, idk red wine, cheap perfume and a filthy pout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
