It's finally here! One of the most anticipated commercial albums of the year. So does it live up to the anticipation? Yes and no, but mostly yes. But old Madonna fan's rejoice it's not as hip-hoppy as some expected. If I could explain it without using the whole page it would be Holiday with a little hip-hop/R&B flavor mixed in. Although some tracks fall short (Spanish Lessons and Incredible) most of the album is enjoyable and catchy. The highlight of the album is defiantly 'Miles Away', it a mid-tempo song with some great production from Timbaland and great lyrics. Some other note worthy tracks are 'Candy Shop', 'Beat Goes On' featuring Kanye West and 'Give It 2 Me'. My only criticism of the album is some of the beats are fairly annoying. A prime example of this is 'Give It 2 Me' (although the rest of the track is pretty good). It may not not be a classic Madonna record but it is a pretty good record that I think you should take a listen to.Rating: Lyrics: 33/40 (Not as good as some of her older records but pretty good)
Tunefulness: 43/50 (As previously stated some annoying beats but overall pretty darn good)
Originality: 9/10 (Not as I expected, not your average hip-hop record as it looks on paper)
Overall: 85/100 (A pretty good effort)
Take a listen to my favorite track 'Miles Away':
