Madonna - Confessions II OUT NOW (2 Viewers)

[straightorbroken]

Love Madonna's don't-embarrass-me watchful eye when Lola struggles to complete a sentence. They clearly do have a fun chemistry we're only getting small glimpses of.

 

[straightorbroken]

Honestly, this interview felt like those classic TRL or late night MTV live album launch interviews. Enjoyed that.

 

[Agneeta]

I really do like this album, but the hysterical reaction in here might be even better.

 

[Sheena]

Yeah we get it, you don’t like her.

For those of us who do, it’s that our favourite/one of our favourites is back to her best after so long off the mark. I refuse to get sneery about that. What an unexpected and glorious joy it’s been.

Nah, it really is THAT good.

 

[Penelope]

There's something about crossing Hungerford Bridge in the blazing sun during London Pride with Danceteria playing that just really channels the moment Jump is playing during Devil Wears Prada

 

[Suedehead]

School is just... *ugh*

I have been waiting for a sequel to Skin for decades

I feel myself ascending descending into gay ecstasy with every listen

I feel like a when School is on and I’m not ashamed
In fact the official title should have been School

Or maybe even School

You miss my point, I genuinely really like the album and I think she's run an excellent campaign. It's far from sneery, but the hysteria is very very entertaining.

Madonna apologists in their pomp is a sight to behold. Like big gay peacocks on amphetamines.

Proud Madonna apologist since 1986. EAT. IT. UP!!

 

[Eddie]

I'm not much of a Madonna fan and I love the album. I do think a small part might be that it's nice to see another member of the older guard delivering.

 

[Agneeta]

It's nice to see her successfully make good music!

 

[Suedehead]

Call it
Love without words

 

[FannyFaudrey]

It's nice to see her successfully make good music!

43 years and counting babes.

 

[Agneeta]

43 years and counting babes.

I have listened to all her album since the mid 00s. I'll give her 25.

 

[K.C.]

One Step Away is literally flawless. The production is so fucking crisp, I want it to last longer.

 

[Joseph]

As one of the OLD fans (1984) it is exciting to have an excellent album from someone I pretty much gave up on post Confessions the original. I’m happy to peacock for the woman especially considering she’s one of the last remaining TRUE SUPERSTARS from the era.

This is the first time in two decades I’ve had a Madonna album on repeat like this.

 

[Suedehead]

Exactly
Let us have nice things
Let us touch those things
For once !
We won’t be going too far
I am having my coffee and I can’t even swallow it !!!!

Iykyk

Same for me. It's not that I hated everything she released since Confessions 1, but there was always just something lacking. Not with this one. This is a total triumph that I never, ever thought we'd get from her again.

 

[Jark]

I honestly think it's almost as good as MDNA

 

[Joseph]

[Suedehead]

Omg you’re so hysterical and hyperbolic!!

 

[Joseph]

It’s gonna be hard to top MDNA… but listen to her, who would wanna top MDNA?

 

[Jark]

MDNA is the dom top. just ask Guy Ritchie

 

[Jark]

 

[Joseph]

I mean I’d love to top peak era Guy as well so I can’t blame her

 

[Suedehead]

MDNA reeks of messy bottom.

Hard Candy is a dom top. Better in theory than in reality.

 

[FannyFaudrey]

I forgot to check the transitions on the 12-track vinyl, as Everything transitions into Love Without Words, not Love Sensation, on that version!

 

[FannyFaudrey]

Do we think this will get any awards recognition or will they shaft her as usual?

I'm not sure but right now I vote we LOON OUT & imagine GRAMMYS GLORY

One breath away from the dance of life

I love it so much. It is enough as it is but I wouldn't object if the vocal part was extended for another go round.

Manifesting her carrying home 6 Grammys in a transparent pink shroud bag!

Great thread about all the people M gives shoutouts to in Danceteria:

 

[Penelope]

Finding it very hard to decide a favourite between Danceteria and Fragile. The former is a total tearaway thrill ride. And the latter... the sheer beauty of that opening drum kick moment. It's Burial. It's Bicep - Apricots. It's four minutes of unbearably gorgeous wistfulness. What a gift, the both of them.

 

[vespertine]

Yeah we get it, you don’t like her.

For those of us who do, it’s that our favourite/one of our favourites is back to her best after so long off the mark. I refuse to get sneery about that. What an unexpected and glorious joy it’s been.

To be fair, Madonna fan or not, what she's just done has never been done before. Hitting a critical and artistic re-peak while being commercially successful 45 years in has only ever been accomplished maybe by David Bowie's Blackstar. And that's it.

She's currently writing the book as to what's possible, and I definitely feel some type of way about that.

 

[vespertine]

It's crazy that she had time to make 16 amazing tracks, a movie, and is still somehow active on Grindr every day.

I'm not even a third of the way there

 

[Sheena]

Finding it very hard to decide a favourite between Danceteria and Fragile.

EXACTLY my dilemma. I listen to one, think I've decided and then listen to the other a few songs later and go back the other way.

EXQUISITE.
