I love a lot about the album but whenever Madonna gets political I lose interest. I know she meant well, the sentiment is there but she isn't as articulate or informed as she believes so the message came out a bit garbled. It has a scrapbook feel to it, which I love. I remember there being a few stories at the time about the record company telling her the album was too avant garde, in my opinion her best work is when she takes risks.

I wish she'd done more tracks with Andre. If I'm honest half the album I never to listen to anymore. I love Erotica, Fever, Where Life Begins, Bad Girl, Waiting, Rain and Secret Garden; the other tracks I skip.
There's clearly no Vs in that conversation. If anything she's lamenting the way things used to be. I tend to think that recently M has been diluted by too many writers and too many producers. I wish she'd lock herself away with someone and go on THAT journey that leads to an amazing album. She has to put in the time and effort as well though, as much as I love Hard Candy and MDNA you can tell she had less input than others on those albums. I don't want generic, god knows I listen to enough of that already.
