 Her Best? April 28, 2008
Having liked most of Madonna's work up untill this album. I was blown away by the complete change of direction. I think this features some of her strongest songs and some of the best production of her career.
The albums following this all gained much higher sales and acclaim but this is her forgotten masterpiece.
Madonna-Erotica April 12, 2008
OK this is the first studio album that Madonna has released that I have given a 5 star rating, as I do my reviews in chronological order. It's not my personal favourite, but out of all the albums she has under her belt currently, it is definately my runner up.
I love the album so much because of all the strong lyrical messages it protests, and the incredibely catchy tunes that a lot of the songs hold. Even if you don't like this Madonna period, I would encourage you still to get this album because it is so much more than just sex. It also dives into issues such as true love, real hate, freedom of thinkings and speech etc. It is a very mature album, and a real classic!
I do find a couple of the songs a little irritating but on the whole, I'd have to say that this album gets played a lot!
My personal ratings:
Erotica 4/5
Fever 2/5
Bye Bye Baby 2/5
Deeper And Deeper 5/5
Where Life Begins 5/5
Bad Girl 5/5
Waiting 5/5
Thief Of Hearts 4/5
Words 5/5
Rain 5/5
Why's It So Hard 5/5
In This Life 5/5
Did You Do It? 2/5 ('explicit content' edition only)
Secret Garden 5/5
ONE OF THE BEST March 30, 2008
ONE OF HER BEST ALBUMS TO DATE.

THE GREATEST SONGS ARE-EROTICA(OF COURSE),BYE BYE BABY,DEEPER AND DEEPER,BAD GIRL,RAIN,WORDS,WAITING, THIEF OF HEARTS,WHERE LIFE BEGINS,WHYS IT SO HARD?,and IN THIS LIFE.
SO MOST OF THE TRACKS ARE FANTASTIC, NOT ALL CRITICS WERE HARSH ON THIS ALBUM, BUT THE ONES WHO WERE OBVIOUSLY DON'T SLEEP WELL AT NIGHT AND THINK ITS FUN TO BE DEPRESSING AND GIVE NEGATIVE RESPONSE TO ART, A FABULOUS PIECE OF WORK ON THIRTEEN TRACKS...GOD I LOVE THIS ALBUM IT REALLY PUTS YOU IN THE RIGHT MOOD FOR A WEEKEND AFTER A LONG WEEK, A GREAT ALBUM!!!!!!!!:):):)
ALL THIS ALBUM NEEDED WAS VOGUE AND IT WOULD BE HER GREATEST ALBUM,HOWEVER THIS ALBUM IS FAR MORE GREATER THAN THE RIDICULOUS "IM BREATHLESS".
#3 ON MY TOP 10 ALBUM LIST(JUST BEATEN BY TRUE BLUE AND LIKE A PRAYER)AND IN LEAGUE WITH MUSIC/CONFESSIONS(ALL OF WHICH ARE MY TOP 5).

Overwhelmed by the über-hype and 'scandal' of her SEX book, this gem deserves more attention, as it has arguably the best production of any Madonna album. Listen to it LOUD or on headphones! Your ears will thank you.
 Good solid album December 30, 2007
This album has a certain repuation... reputation and I approached this with some trepidation. On listening it's not really as bad as people make out. There are a few... naughty bits in it but it's really not obscene. Most of it left to your imagination. In fact most the album is about love and the end of relationships in the case of a couple of songs and even the death of a friend from AIDS than about sex.
Shep Pettibone lays down some serious grooves and and handles the work behind the mixing desk competently. His songwriting is pretty solid too, or at least the musical side of it, Madonna adds her usual lyrical contribution of course. Theres nothing remarkable here, but it's very solid nonetheless. All the more remarkable for the pressure he was under when he was making it, Madonna is not known for her patience in the recording studio and most this work had to laid down pretty quickly. His diaries of the recording sessions are available on the 'net and they're well worth a read so check them out.
