Relisten #2: Rhythm of Love & Let’s Get To It - 19/10/20 19:30

[POP!]

This album feels so much longer than ROL

 

[ButterTart]

The country sound was mostly conveyed by the video having line dancing in it, to be fair

I've actually just watched the video - the linedancing and lesbian shirt were a giveaway, the message was fairly ambiguous in the song itself.

 

[Jark]

Live and Learn continues the trend - when it started I thought "oh this one might actually be a winner" but unfortunately the production is its most interesting aspect

I don't know Live and Learn, but there's no way it could compare to THIS:

[Cerro de Casa]

There is nothing objectively wrong with 'Live & Learn' but it is all becoming rather samey at this point I suppose. It's B-side material.

It's been on for SEVEN FUCKING YEARS. which means I'm now 36 and STILL SINGLE! ffs

Very much 7s territory here

 

[Eddie]

I'm so used to having only heard these songs on 50+1 for the last couple of decades that they all feel very long. Or perhaps they are largely JUST A BIT DULL.

They go on for way too long. There is something about her delivery - she sounds bored most of the time.

 

[Iguana]

The album cover made be anticipate something a bit more moody and exciting than the album actually is

 

[lolly]

No World Without You is dull, isn't it?

Thank Goodness Madonna just about improved it a bit on One More Chance.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I wonder if Madonna was listening to 'No World Without You' when she wrote 'One More Chance' with David Foster...

And yes they're both shite.

OMG JINX

And yes they're both shite.

Madonna's vocal delivery was much better, though.

 

[Eddie]

NO World Without You though interminably boring, was her first ever acapella though.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

'This can't be the end...'

And no it's not!

Because K-Mo is taking us back to the CLUB

[POP!]

Oh the “More than Words” rip off

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Madonna's vocal delivery was much better, though.

Yes - she was already in Evita preparation mode vocally..

 

[Eddie]

To me, Let’s Get To It (album) is her weakest PWL effort by far

 

[Cerro de Casa]

To me, Let’s Get To It (album) is her weakest PWL effort by far

Nah. It's better than the first two albums. The debut in particular is largely awful..

 

[lolly]

And actually @Suedey, wasn't One More Chance supposedly inspired by Extreme's More Than Words, or am I making that up?

 

[Iguana]

What was the reaction to this album like say the time? Was it considered a disappointment?

 

[Eddie]

Oh I Guess I Like It Like That you naughty naughty child.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

2 Unlimited eat your hearts out

Gotta KEEP ON PUMPIN' it UP cause I LIKE IT

Some rubbish gays didn't know this was from this track when I saw Showgirl ugh..

 

[Jark]

OK. now what is I Guess I Like It Like That serving? what's the reference point here? she's clearly aping turn of the decade hi-nrg dance music and I find myself wishing the whole album had gone in on this sound.

although I am now at the bit that sounds like a farmyard honky tonk wondering just what is going here.

ah we're back to pumping it up and working up an ecstasy sweat, excellent.
