Superstar has gone from MEH to AMAYMAY.
Guy should be flattered with this record. His influence is all over the place.
Definitely. I'm addicted and to a lesser extent Love Spent are far and away the best tracks on this album. I'm imagining the Girl Gone Wild video, but made to fit I'm addicted. Would've been an epic combo, and - I think - a hit.
Also, the more I hear it, the more I think it's a shame how Gang Bang seems to go no where. Everything before the dubstep breakdown seems to building up to some awesome climax, but near the end it starts to disintegrate. Real shame, cause it had to potential to be an awesomely dark rave track.
Hands cropped. Guess it would have cost too much to photoshop them.
lmaoShe really upper her photoshop game this era.
Yeah, I prefer the first half too. :xeven though everyone is gushing over how amazing the second half of Love Spent is, I personally think that the chorus playing at 1m35 is pretty damn awesome. the first half of the song definitely deserved to be a song on itself.
Love spent is basically two amazing songs clumsily pasted together.
Eurgh, Girl Gone Wild is about to re-enter my MDNA TOP 5.
i just watched the girl gone wild video and it's so bloody awful
i mean i know that alejandro was about 80% 'tribute' to madonna
but that doesn't make it a good idea for madonna to just shamelessly and reductively rip it off
and the cinematography is fucking dire to boot
WHAT ARE YOU DOING MADGE
She's released MDNA and toured just to take the spotlight away from Gaga. That's my theory at least with all the LACK OF PROMOTION.
>_>
The wait for Gaga's next album will be long
Thank fuck for that.
I'm sure Madge's team feels the same way.
They probably don't give a shit. Unlike Lady Xerox, who is obviously keeping a close eye on what Madonna is doing in a desperate attempt to (unsuccessfully) foil everything she does.
I do feel for the ugly little thing though, only her 3rd (well second, really) album in and it can't clear 10 million, 6 if you don't buy into the shipment numbers.
Adele: *laughs*
Could you guys take this bitch fight to the GAP POP thread, so that all this idiocy stays quarantined?
Mr. Burns is a CUNT.
Also the recent tweets about #thenextalbumisthebestalbum on the day MDNA is released in the US.
How embarrassing. I wonder if it still cries at interviewers when compared to MADONNA.
IMO some of the strongest moments on this Madonna album are the quieter ones - like parts of 'I Fucked Up' or 'Falling Free'. And her voice sounds really nice. The production on "Love Spent" makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. SO FUCKING AWESOME. I'm actually really enjoying the album, for the most part, after being ready to write it off after the horrible first single.I feel like most of Madonna's songs would resonate with me more if a better vocalist was singing them. Girl Gone Wild is pretty decent but her voice is so painfully second-rate that it takes away from the heat of the song. Hell, even Britney could have done cooler things with the sound of the track with her "my-hymen-just-busted" groan of a voice.
Confessions was a wonderfully produced album but the only thing that held me back was her boringly monotone voice. Just doesn't sound good in my ears. Well that and some of the lyrics. I can't listen to that New York song without feeling awkward. That said, her voice sounds great in Masterpiece, which is why it's the only song on the album I might be listening to a week or two down the road.
The wait for Gaga's next album will be long
I really like Gaga but she really needs to learn some subtlety - she has no idea how to turn down the volume and dial it back.
But fucking LOL at Lady Xerox. Dying.
I heartily agree on this. Gaga knows how to belt out a gay anthem to next year but she has only one volume. Eleven. Even on ballads she doesn't know how to bring it down a notch. BTW can be exhausting to listen to in a single sitting. When I listen to it I can only take 4 or 5 of her songs at a time before I reach for sedatives.
BAHAHA. Was just doing my own. I obviously have far too much time this morning.
The peasant version is currently highest at #17. How... tepid.Album is out on iTunes now.
Pre-orders for MDNA hit #1 though, didn't they? Does that count for anything?The peasant version is currently highest at #17. How... tepid.
I will find it amusing but not surprising if The Hunger Games soundtrack ends up snatching the #1 spot away. Everything related to that movie is blow-ing up.
Yes, those count for the opening tally. The surge in pre-orders was very short lived though, I'm not sure those were enough to secure a #1 debut.Pre-orders for MDNA hit #1 though, didn't they? Does that count for anything?
“I feel like the tiger in the jungle who’s allowed to keep doing business because the younger tigers allow her to operate, and I feel grateful. But I don’t want to pretend I’m young. I’m not going to play that game. I’m not going to freeze my face to sell a record. That’s a trap set for women.”
Madonna, she says, is the most obvious example: “The tabloids complain about her looking old, and people laugh at her for that. Then Madonna goes and fixes her face, and they laugh at her for that. Even thought they begrudgingly say she looks amazing, they’ll still laugh at her for trying to look young. Then she steps out, looking amazing, and the tabloids go and blow up a picture of her aging hand. Nobody’s doing that to George Clooney, blowing up pictures of his hands! I look at these magazines, and I want to say to them, What’s your point? That she’s aged? Does that surprise you? Or is your ‘point’ an attempt to undercut what she’s achieved? I think it is, even if it’s on a subconscious level. And you probably wouldn’t turn down those hands if they were grabbing you under the table, you fucking idiots.”
Just celebrating the return of MAD MEN.
Remember when Lourdes had a unibrow?
