And that is also true.

But what can be expected of an organization founded by someone as batshit insane as Ingrid Newkirk.

I still cannot at the beginning of it saying FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE though l

Actually I can't at it actually being something they'd issue a press release for in the first place

I'm coming, Nito. Catch meeee!

Looking at her debut she actually got a handful of relatively good producers. Most Australians end up getting lumped with this shitty production company called DNA SONGS who have produced so many duds like Soldier and Come With Me.

It's so embarrassing ._.

Oh, God... I remember that company because I used to read about them on the now defunct PopTrashAddicts blog, Mike often wrote about them. So, basically, they are the go-to producers for those artists who want something below average and beyond generic? Horrible.

I'll give them this, though, they did manage to write one solid bop, and that was The Saturdays' Not Giving Up.

 

[Never Forever]

Lana got the UK #1, woo!

Also, I'm listening to MDNA for the first time in two years. I'm not sure why I detested it so much, it's pretty good. I'm Addicted, especially, is absolute FIRE.

Just gonna leave this here:

MAROON 5 – Maps: 52.125 (+ 7.890)

Oh.

 

[Vazduh]

I'd like to know what went through these girls' heads when they agreed to put these clothes on. It's like they deliberately wanted to look like shit.

 

[Booty Patrol]

Rihanna, Taylor, and Adele all have distinct markets that are going to buy their music like crazy. I don't see the tight release schedules stopping any of them from slaying.

Outsold Linkin Park's new album two to one too apparently

 

[Weapxn]

Taylor's album is already ready to go? Where has she said that? I knew she was working on it, but I didn't know it was basically done.

Preach sis.

I STILL play I'm Addicted regularly. Out of that 2010-2013 EDM craze we suffered through, I think I'm Addicted has the best breakdown of any track I heard in that period. Everything from the second chorus to the end is just flawless progression and buildup.

Really, the MDNA Era was flawless in everything but the album itself.

The Visuals

The Videos

The Tour

Say what you want about Grandmadonna, but she knows how to put that old-school polish on an era.

 

[Koodo]

Girl Gone Wild is one of the top videos of the last decade.

And that tour performance. Our faves are still shook.

I miss Pho.

He would have done a much better job praising Madonna than me.

Let me go relive his war with That Crazed Janet Stan.

Seriously. The song itself is pretty shitty, but damn the video is all kinds of awesome. Every second of it makes for a good gif, it's basically a perfect video to play at the background screens in a gay bar.

MDNA is still a really really medioce album though. I only ever listen to I'm Addicted anymore. The diamond in a sea of turds.


Solution to this all: listen to I'm Addicted with the video of Girl Gone Wild on mute. Perfection.

 

[Mau ®]

I still like MDNA. I still play it once every few weeks.

I think I'll go back to Hard Candy and see how it fares. It was pretty good too IMO.

 

[Matt_]

GGW should have been the lead single, much much better than Give me all your love

GGW was the "Let There Be Love" of MDNA. The perfect single if it had just come out 6 months earlier than it did.

 

[Koodo]

It's a shame they fucked up the blu-ray of the tour. I had to get a rihfund, it looked like a VHS recording.

Having meditated on MDNA, I'm much more positive about it now. It's still languishing in the bottom half of her discography, but I think it's pretty good on the whole. There are some perfect bops on there, and, even if it's not totally sublimely life-changing, it's still wonderful to dance to. I don't think she's ever released a truly bad album, honestly. Or even one that's beginning-to-end mediocre.

Frankly, I think I'd much rather listen to MDNA than the most recent offerings of the other big girls. None of the others had me feeling up for another round, but instead underwhelmed and fatigued.

30 years from when Madonna was filling the dancefloors, MDNA still calls to the animal inside.

 

[Vitanimus]

I've been getting my LIFE to Confessions On A Dancefloor, it only took me 9 years

Also have any of you played Borderlands 2 cos I got the GOTY edition cheap in Steam sales soooooooo...

Just imagine Rih having her very own Ghost Stories. LIFE IS PERFECT!

Where were you last winter ;_; I spent at least 50 hours playing co-op with my brother, what a game.

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

OMG @ all this Madonna praise <3

I always liked Hard Candy and LOVED MDNA, MDNA especially being underappreciated. I'd place it in the top half of her albums, with Confessions and Ray of Light occupying the shared #1 spot. She truly has no bad albums in her iconic discography. And the tours for both eras were flawless. She also remains the best visual music artist ever, Madonna's music videos remained unchallenged in quality and quantity. Totally agree with royalan that the MDNA era itself was perfection. Probably 2nd to only the Confessions era in terms of videos, tour, and even Madge's look herself.

There's a reason that after 30 years at the top and counting, she continues to be my #1 fave. The true QUEEN REGENT OF POP. Countless hews will try, but there will never be another Madonna in our lifetime tbh <3

Oh and thanks a lot POPGAF. I've never given Lana del Rey a 2nd look especially after the SNL disaster and Lizzie Grant nonsense a few years back. All your non-stop Lana talk over the last few weeks has broken me down into giving Ultraviolence a shot. Now, I did the same thing when BEYONCEGAF (Mess) was bandwagoning her newest album, and I tried it and HATED it, like everything else she's ever done. But Ultraviolence? OMG amaaaaazing.
Especially "West Coast" and "Brooklyn Baby" <3 What kind of sleepy, sad, flawless bops? uggggh just END me Lana del Slay

Spoiler

Agreed about Madonna tho. She's everything.

 

[Ardainian Soldier]

I think MDNA is a great album. There are only a few songs i could do without but the album is a collection of some really fun and catchy music. I'm hoping her new album is a bit more creative though.

 

[cory64]

MDNA is cute but there's some trash on it

I love MIA and Madonna separately, but together...

Madonna sucks

Get your homosexual life to Frankmusik

 

[Vitanimus]

so we all agree Chandelier is the Single of the Year so far right?

Consider yourself lucky. It's trash.

West Coast is pushing it to numero dos for me.

Yes!

Also t-minus one hour till Kesha Rose owns Xfloptina in "judging" of a reality singing show!

As a gags stain, you're well versed into albums that lack contemplation.

How is Artpop?

uMMMMM it's really not hard to "own" Christina Can'thaveacareer-a in anything really. Chick is a washed up mess. But although I like Ke$ha's rebranding as Kesha Rose and I kind of like "Timber", I can't get behind someone who admits to drinking her own urine :/

Turns out this Katy pic is actually from the videoshoot of "This is How We Do", her next single.

I'm here for it tbh. Always loved that song.

For me it's a tie between "West Coast" and 2014's biggest surprise "Hideaway"

Ellie has been seen with Calvin so much lately. I'm glad he broke up with the vile Rita Ora. Ellie and him are perfect for each other.
