 Mmm, where is the signs of her influencing music? April 11, 2008

Nothing new or original here at all. Hung up was about the only decent song and even then she had to sample Abba to do so.
Maybe its time to abdicate? The days of Like a Prayer seem a distant memory I thought the 'real' Madonna was born with the Ray of Light album, but have been disappointed ever since!
 A Madge Classic March 4, 2008
To put it briefly, this is the most fun Madonna album since Like A Virgin and in my opinion the highspot of her recording career so far. After the let down of american life, she needed to come back with something bold and brash - thankfully this CD delivers in spades.
Every track is a winner, but especially Jump, Sorry and Isaac which would sail onto a Madonna 10 track best of with ease. Ok, some of the lyrics are a little dodgy, but when the tunes and beats are this good, who cares?
Over two years on, its still a winner.
GLORIOUS! February 21, 2008
Perfect time to review Madge's old but latest album - just in time before her first-play of her new album with JT and Timbaland.
COTD is a masterpiece, dancy, catchy, fun and electronic magic. In the main its 'lose yourself in the moment' pop, the sorta stuff you put on in your house to get ready to before abig night out.
"Hung up" is quite simply Madonna's finest cheesy pop moment since Holiday, Into the Groove - lyrics that are daft but a dancebeat that makes you so want to just hit that dancefloor and forget all about any worries of the day.
"Get Together" a perfect continuation from Hung Up, got layers of class to this record. Seeing it played in clubs and its popularity as a dance record is great. Much deserved for queen Madge.
"Sorry" very catchy and poppy again in the vain of Hung Up.. loving the way that the music builds in all the first 3 records to a crescendo!
"Future Lovers" Madonna's homage to the I Feel Love style of disco music which I personally LOVE so much. This at first listen might be overlooked, but please don't - I think this record has so much energy and is worth listening to over and over.
"I Love New York" Madonna's rock record here.. good but not my favourite, although saying that I do like the way she does not stick to the traditional verse chorus verse chorus bridge - end, style for this song, and do love the way it fades to end..
"Let it will be" Unknown to some maybe, Madonna samples her great hit Papa Don't Preach here, in the violins.. Great song, but takes a few listens to fully sink into the brain like other more poppy tunes. The remixes are brill!
"Forbidden Love" A beautiful more chilled out dance track, with great lyrics and catchiness all of its own.. Greatly underestimated alongside Future Lovers, it perfectly mixes into Jump, and holds its own very well.
"Jump" what can i say.. back to her poppy best.. fabulous record, perfect mix in from Forbidden Love, and up there with the best!
"Isaac" interesting style of record. Madonna's religious song - which seems to be a thing of every Madonna cd now since Ray of Light. I find it very interesting the way her song melody mixes in with the guy's singing, and the dance beat fits perfectly.
"How High" this record isn't one of my favourites off the album either, mainly because I feel still slightly unsatisfied by the end, almost as if it was still building up to a massive crescendo that never happened. Regardless of this, it is still much better than average and worth a listen.
"Push" Madge's ode to Mr Ritchie and married life. Cute record, takes a couple of listens but once its stuck in your brain you'll find yourself humming this all the bloody time hehehe..
"Like it or not" Madonna's end track. A two finger salute to all of her critics. Fab Madge, great album send off and catchy number..
Overall - AMAZING is what best describes this dancefloor epic.. A triumph! Anyone who voted this 1 star quite clearly is just having a dig at the woman of the century (which is what often people just enjoy doing to be quite frank!) or has just a wacky sense of humour.
10 or more out of 10 for this.. long live Madge, and roll on her new album Apr 28th!!
This should be called Queen of the Dancefloor! January 23, 2008

I write this review, just after a year after it's release, and why you might ask? Well the answer is simply that this is an album you will never get bored with and will remain a Madonna classic in many years to come.
One thing people should reaLise about Madonna is that she is not one of those artists who makes an album where you'd only choose the best few to put on your ipod, the album tracks are equally as good as the singles, particularly 'Isaac' and 'Let It Will Be' which was wasted as a B-side to 'Sorry'
A MUST HAVE IN YOUR COLLECTION.
 Great album from Mrs Ritchie and Stuart Price August 31, 2007
4 and a Half Stars.
Stuart Price has written some great music for this album as well as doing some great production work. Mrs R adds her usual uninspiring lyrics of course but don't let that put you off. She even returns to her material girl roots in the lyrics of How High - "How much fortune can you make - Was it all worth it? And how did I earn it? Nobody's perfect, I guess I deserve it" she replies. Well, I guess the Embrace Me I want to Save the World attitude of American Life didn't last long then. About as long as the other personas she's adopted.
Nevermind, the music is great stuff though. If you're looking for an album to play at a party then you can't go wrong with this. 12 great dance tracks that segue effortlessly into one another with no breaks inbetween. The one track that seems to attract controversy is Isaac but I like it and it certainly helps perk up interest to that which is starting to sound a little samey by then, a mixture of eerie Kabbalaesque vocals in Hebrew (don't let that put you off) and drum beats that mix effortlessly with modern synth et al that somehow work, even though it shouldn't. I hear Stuart is already working on Seal's next album and maybe Kylie's too, with this album he's surely moved into the producers' premier league. Well done mate.
Play it loudly in the car stereo. Go on, you know you want too.
