Ladle Ghoulash 55,074 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I also honestly think Hung Up is overrated asf. Sorry, Get Together, Future Lovers, and Isaac clear. We have forgotten our public MANNERS 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROL, LAP, Music, AL, and Erotica clear I mean, I kinda agree but can you blame her for trying to find a safe place after AL backlash? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not comparing tour or music videos… Also, CII has a very strong message - and more profound to me than the one from COADF 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy 14,209 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) It really depends on what you want out of an album. COADF has more genuine HITS, but I think CII has more confessions, more to say, and flows throughout better (it wasn’t really aiming for hits ala Hung Up imo). Personally, I like CII as an album more but if I want a quick hit song to listen to it’s COADF any day. Really just depends on what the vibe is for my dance electronic music hankering on a given day Edited July 16 by Ziggy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you compare a single album to a tour, videos, era, etc.? COADF was dropped when we got full pop eras that’s just not the case anymore. I think the CII film clears a lot of COADF or at least stacks up to it. as for message…what is the message of confessions I compared to II? One of the album’s biggest critiques is its lack of heartfelt confessions which is what makes II stronger in that regard imo. COADF is a great and safe dance pop album loaded with hits but it’s also a compilation of songs she’d been working on in different places so she could fulfill her Warners contract. Gotta be honest here, CII has way more to say 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also CII is deeper thematically and more experimental - I loooove that about it! So I voted for CII! What kind of experimentation do you think happens on C2?

Like specifically Betrayal - amazing mix of jazz and that sample of a classical piano piece One Step Away - adds tropical pop which is very new for Madonna School - very interesting experimentation with voice, really creative and unusual track with its own mood Everything - aggressive song with rave music like quality - Madonna is new to rave culture Song with Stromae - partially in French! Plus, it’s a successful mix of trip hop (which Madonna tried in early 90’s) with the modern sound. To me, those are more creatively made songs than most songs on COADF 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
imogen2133 636 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Still much prefer the original COADF, the tracks stand out more individually than Confessions II and I prefer the lyrics as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
