@Bronco @Ladle Ghoulashproud to say this is growing on me. I still find Conf1 much fresher imo but this record is solid. I love tracks 1, 3, 5.

10, 11, 13 are interesting although they fall a bit lower down my ranking.

12, 14, 16 are my claimed tracks as well.

I knew you'd like the latter half of the album eventually.

Bizarre is so good 

[monketsharona 90,009]

It's trully her best album since the first Confession. Another classic album in her discography imo

Madonna x Stuart Price will always work anyway. In some cases switching producers is good for creativity. Sometimes you just need to have an old chemistry being revived... and it works

the album is a slapper i fear

[Ladle Ghoulash 51,049]

Slightly OT, but: it genuinely pains me that Madonna’s follow up to the OG COADF was almost a collab record with Pet Shop Boys and Stuart Price. Would’ve been a generational pop record, tbh. But grateful for CONFESSIONS II

On the other side, I'd quite love to see her reunite with Orbit as well, and more Mirwais since his songs on MX were kinda the best, and don't get me started with the perfection that was American life.

Call it trance

Call it house

Call it Love Without Words

Poor Madonna getting only 2 songs on Top 200 Global Spotify, all Ive seen is people liking the album so i dont get how it doesnt translate into streams?

well, playlisting of new stuff on spotify doesnt work anymore. Spotify lately turned into the old GP playlists platform. new music friday works only for 1 day. We ve seen it many times with big names this year. Its terrible but the truth is spotify is no longer a platform reflecting the new music trends. Its just a house for playlisting known classics, what we know from radios. Because of it the new albums are almost invisible in streaming, like on uk official album charts like 85 % are the old albums fuelled by old hits from spotify playlisting it so hard. Only few names like TS or Gaga or Harry Styles are able to survived it. maybe some really new artists who have their 15 minutes time peak. I think its a new problem what happened with spotify. New songs new albums cant find their way through it anymore. If You re not on todays hot hits in top 10 You re dead. and Your album will drop from album charts after 2-3 weeks.

I forgot about that. Hard Candy had it's moments but it was the first weak Madonna album to me. She probably thought switching producers and sound would always work because she doesn't like to repeat herself but yeah a Pet Shop Boys / Stuart Price album would've been fun, just wondering if she felt like it'd have been weaker than Confessions 1 and decided to just do something different.

I was so excited for her to work with Orbit again for MDNA but damn that was such a bad moment I don't think working with the same producer means it will always work again. This is probably why Gaga switched direction for LG5, the RedOne sessions weren't up to the standards she was expecting or simply didn't want to repeat herself with the same sound.

Why did I think all this time that Orbit just did Fallin free wich was one of the only songs I liked   How on earth did he manage to do all those bad songs on MDNA  idk thou, I'm curious what the og LG5 was like, since up to this day, I'm not a big fan of Joanne.

I think the issue was how long spotify let labels effectively buy playlist spots and artificially create success. 

As labels pull back from it we're seeing the curtain being pulled back on the entire scheme. 

Even though physical sales have gone down across the board generally, they're still the best indication of what's genuinely got a fanbase. Streams have never been real.

I'd love to see her working with Mirwais again I think he has great range. From American Life and Madame X to Music and Future Lovers (Confessions 1) and Betrayal (Confessions 2).

[Chesescake 4,130]

Really into first 5 songs' run (beside Bring Your Love.)

Kinda lost some interest with RML and Everything, don't really care for them.

I think Love Sensation is my favourite song on the album, follow up with LWW that grow on me a bit.

Overall, 6-7/10 I think, it's okay.
