American Life [PA] by Madonna

Pros: Madonna sounds better than ever, production, songs
Cons: it's not PERFECT

After spending months waiting for Madonna’s new album, spending hours every week on Madonna forums on the internet since February, I finally got Madonna’s new album American Life last week. Sure, I loved American Life and Die...

Pros: Wow! I was pleasantly surprised by every single track.
Cons: Rapping in American Life was - well - not necessary.

Madonna-fan alert!
I have every full-length cd that Madonna has released and I'm nearing completion of having almost all of her cd singles. If that isn't devotion, I don't know what is :). I was very excited to receive an...

Pros: A couple of decent tracks.
Cons: Boring songs, vocal effects, too many electronic whizzes and burps.

Welcome to my fourth and final entry in kristinafh's May Music Madness write-off. Here, I will be reviewing a not-so-great album from someone who is, among many other things "hot". Now, let's face it, maybe she's not as sexy as she was in the "Erotica"...

Pros: A few good moments
Cons: It mostly sucks

Pros: Some brilliant songs and great instrumentation
Cons: Some songs fall write on their face

I finally was able to get a hold of the newest Madonna album American Life. I wasn't sure enough to buy it but I definitely was sure enough to borrow it. Her latest effort is a mixed bag like every album since Ray of Light. Some moments make you purely...

Pros: A handful of great songs.
Cons: Most is mediocre, if not just plain awful.

It's difficult writing about Madonna's discography, because I have to fight with myself to remain truly objective. The Material Girl has been my favorite artist since I was three years old, so forgive me if I fanboy all over the place. I think, however, ...

Pros: Some singles are actually quite good.
Cons: Joyless, a preachy self consciousness pervades this entire CD.

What a difference 20 years make. In that time, Madonna has made the leap from vulva-gazer to soul-searcher. At least in the former, Madonna knew how to make bouncy, heartfelt pop songs about love, female empowerment and deep dicking, but the ...

Pros: --
Cons: --

How exactly does one review a Madonna album?

Artists like Madonna tend to be critic-proof. Her artistry is so entrenched in every thing modern and post modern in contemporary pop, it's like trying to rate the new Vanilla soda on the...

Pros: When it's good it's good. The guitar is beautiful. So is Madonna's voice.
Cons: When it's bad it's baaad.

Have you ever seen that show on E! called "It's Good To Be..."? I'm sure they did Madonna once, but I don't watch the trash. Anyway, I have to disagree that it's good to be Madonna. Sure, sure, the money must be great, but imagine this if you will: you ...

Pros: Erhm...give me a month or two, I *might* come up with a pro.
Cons: M's Lucky Star falling. Dead Sunken Ship. You get the idea.

What’s that funny taste Is M’s Lucky Star fading? She cussed at fans who downlo ...

Pros: Madonna still knows how to push our buttons.
Cons: Too easily dismissed as shock-mongering.

I’m just as shocked as you are. I mean, really, how could Madonna sink so low! Is there no line she won’t cross? Is there nothing sacred? I mean, the very nerve of her! Hiring a French producer to work on her new album in this time of...

Pros: Hard to think of one, save for throwing darts at.
Cons: From the smug cover to the songs. Saddam would love the single American Life.

WARNING Contains PMS induced language! I had a hard time figuring out a suit ...

Pros: Um...
Cons: Yeah!

(Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what they’re looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and ...

Pros: Some good techno production and lyrics; Madonna’s voice is great
Cons: Uh, where do I start?

The Main Idea: I’ve always been a Madonna fan and as I got older, I realized how big an impact Madonna has had on music. I mean, music wouldn’t be what it is today if it wasn’t for some of the things Madonna did (and I’m not sure if that’s good ...

Pros: good lyrical deapth and has many great messages. beutiful ballads and great dance songs!
Cons: Some of the production on nothing fails is choppy, some weak tracks

In 2003 Madonna released her latest studio album "American Life" in the u.s.a the album and it's singles flopped big time due to the controversial First single. I however believe this is very good. The lyrics are beautiful and the sound is very crisp and ...
