I can see where you're coming from. I guess I always viewed Confessions as a way to bring back her core audience. American Life underperformed and the sound she created with that album was different from anything she had ever done. Confessions took her back to the beginning of her career when she was performing dance music. Throw in some religion and voilą! You have "How to make a Madonna album 101."

That's pretty true. While I love Confessions with all my heart, there are a couple of meh tracks so to speak.... I honestly think Bedtime Stories should be up there with the rest of her albums... but Music.... oh my god.. Definitely one of her best albums to be honest. <3

On another note... the Nightlife Edition of MDNA is flawless.. it does GMAYL justice and it actually sounds much better.
And it has like 7 tracks from MDNA (a good mix between standard edition and deluxe edition tracks) and 7 exclusive remixes, so it's 14 songs for only $3.50! That's a steal!

It has this REALLY good remix of Masterpiece as well.

Erotica would be up there too, but a lot of it sounds dated nowadays.
Personally I think Confessions is miles better than any of those albums... Especially Erotica and American Life... Like a Prayer and Ray of Light I also feel are overrated.

I just realized my spelling mistakes when you quoted my post! That's going to drive me insane!

Yeah, I think I might be in the minority when it comes to thinking American Life and Erotica are some of her best work. The albums are flawed, but I think it's these flaws are what make them great.

At least she has such a large back catalogue so we can all pick and choose our favorites!

I'm so Stupid is one of the best songs on AL IMO.

The only flaw on AL is the unfortunate rap.
