    Ahaha at "homosexy"  =)) ! Speaking of Madonna (mind you, this is coming from one of her biggest fans, like I'm surprised I don't have a giant tattoo of her across my back), I like to pretend Confessions was her last album (her best/my favorite, after American Life)... everything post COADF makes me sad/embarrassed (second-hand embarrassment from the aura of desperateness which is SO distracting to me and hard to get past). Basically, I've adopted the "#IDontKnowHer" mentality whenever I come across her new material lol



    There's a few gems from her new material that you might enjoy, but speaking as someone with a similar soft spot for her earlier work, you didn't miss much. The only songs I'd really recommend are Wash All Over Me, Heartbreak City, Messiah, Inside Out, Falling Free, Ghosttown (one of her best in years), Joan of Arc, perhaps Body Shop as well as Masterpiece. Miles Away is also pretty great in my opinion.

    Sorry to derail this thread! Lol.

    @lukasgardiner "much like on jan 23rd i'll be up at the crack of dawn F5ing my fingers raw"



    TMI lukas, TMI. :p

    Anywho, I like to think of the tumbleweed in face shot as a reference to her burning bush. I mean burning from the desert heat, of course.

    .....aaannnndddd, I'd like to add I'm digging on Become the One! "Synchronize, Harmonize...What's Inside?"

    Good lord, I come back from the gym to find 42 unread responses to this thread and thought the damn album leaked lol.
    I had a king in a tenement castle, lately he's taken to painting the pastel walls brown. He's taken the curtains down. He's swept with the broom of contempt, and the rooms have an empty ring. He's cleaned with the tears of an actor who fears for the laughter's sting...

    Hey, I never said you weren't allowed to call it what you want but doing so on a 1 minute snippet always seems a bit pointless to me.  >:D< Maybe the songs just explode near the end, we don't know. And won't hopefully until the end of March.



    Oh, but don't think I'm trying to be defensive! If anything I agree with your points, so please don't take my response the wrong way. It's so much harder to sound human and peaceable online than in person...




    Agreed, it's always hard for me to launch a counter argument without sounding like an asshole, but at least you understood I wasn't trying to be  :P Could do with more people like you on the internet.

    Just imagine how bad it'll be if it actually does leak.

    Sorry for derailing the thread, but considering this place isn't exactly a hive of activity i'm sure it doesn't hurt when we actually manage to spark a discussion between a few people.  Don't get jealous just because you weren't part of it  :-\"

    Back to the place being a Ghosttown (Madonna puns, yay!)
    Soon be nothing of this world.

    So it is. A bit ....arty!
    Lots of that shoulder shrugging choreography that is so popular in hip hop and Beyoncé videos. No mention of Lisa G is the credits either.
    Does it insist upon itself?
    The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ.
    Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit.
    Shall lure it back to cancal half a line,
    Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.

    The setting is stunning, the shaved head couple is striking, but, yeah, it does feel a bit art school'y.

    They stole my dance moves.
    If I were dead, could I do this?
