Post 80's Madonna's most consistent album. Look with the momma I got this has to be a favourite album, but nostalgia aside this is probably more in the upper 3.6 ballpark, which still makes it Madonna's best album in eons with the feel of a triumphant return, proving she's not only still relevant in 2005, but can also put out seminal (read: chart busting and/or that me momma spun a lot) pop albums and be up there with the contemporary stars. 1 which Abba can take most of the credit for, and 3 are the two top tier utter jams here, which makes the album slightly frontloaded. 10 is a solid third place although idk where the samples are from. Most of the other tracks are fun but not top tier, and have aged somewhat but still are pretty enjoyable. 2,4,5,8 which builds up very well to a pretty tepid chorus,9 which is somewhat better because of the use of dramatic Madonna strings are all in this category. 6 is a bit corny but still fun, but 7 is really very mid and perhaps the least convincing of the LP. 11 is frankly bad but in a fun way, I had completely forgotten about that track, and 12 is a fun track that doesn't really feel like a conclusion. 00s Madonna is peak Madonna nostalgia for me, and of that period this album is certainly the best. 3.8

A modern classic by the Queen of Pop. Perfectly sequenced, brilliantly produced and, as usual, incredibly well-written. Personel favorites: Hung Up, Get Together, How High, Push.

Like a modern day Let's Dance with a touch of Donna Summer, Abba...hell and just about everything else Disco! The Queen returned in top form here. Masterfully sequenced, with sonic landscapes bound to get your feet moving. Dancefloor Heaven.

Combining disco camp and heavy-hitting contemporary dance beats, Confessions is very much a
postmodern escapade right from the get go. The first track, 'Hung Up' samples ABBA, but also sends
the middle of the road Swedish outfit pulsing into the present. The album doesn't get increasingly
darker as it goes along no matter how Madonna has tried to spin her artistry in press
releases.Unless you count a guy singing in Yemenite as somehow disturbing. Proof that you need
some form of ballad or easing of the pace to really create a classic, but the near-hour of
thumping dance tracks is a joyous, if slightly monotonous experience.
Track Picks: 'Hung Up', 'Get Together', 'Sorry', 'Future Lovers', 'I Love New York', 'Let It Will
Be', 'Forbidden Love', 'Jump', 'How High', 'Push', 'Like It Or Not'

Very modern, at the same time reminding the past of disco. Very psychological.

It wasn't her greatest. It seems she's falling apart musically. She's had great albums, up until "American Life," then it went downhill. But this isn't bad. It's actually pretty good, but not great like "Music" or "Erotica." My favorites are "Hung Up," "Get Together," "I Love New York" and "Like It Or Not."

WTF is wrong with you guys? "COADF" is a damn classic. So what if it's a dance album? It's a classic dance album!

I think this is Madonna's comeback album, and I'm not just judging that on the hit single "Hung Up". This album is pure dance, pure electronica, and pure pop. She really enjoys being a dance artist, and you can tell by her previous albums.
I really enjoyed almost every single track on here; only a couple let downs like "I Love New York", but other than that..this album should be listened to.
If you want an album that you can move and dance too, pick this up.
