ray of light

I still like this album a hell of a lot, still love the production and Madonna's voice sounds great (although I'm probably one of the only people who prefers her pre-Evita voice) - not every song is great, but the highlights are ludicrously strong and the lesser material isn't awful.

I much prefer Like a Prayer and even Erotica.

uh what

I've heard people defend her performance on this album and a few other singles (Confessions is my favorite of her post-training albums), but I know no one who doesn't think she was a more fascinating, creative, and alive singer before 1996.

ba ba da ba ba ba

Was "I Want You" the last iteration of the old Madonna? It possibly was recorded during or post vocal training. It doesn't sound like it.

Makes for an interesting mirage of an alt.history Ray of Light sans constipated vocalising.

The middle stretch of this album is fire ("Skin," "Nothing Really Matters," "Sky Fits Heaven").

I said this already a few years ago lol lol

Maybe I didn't vote on this. "Nothing Really Matters."

Been listening to this for the first time, I'm admittedly not blown away by most of it so far but the run from Skin to Nothing Really Matters to Sky Fits Heaven is fucking amazing.

Lol whoops I just scrolled up and noticed that Alfred made the exact same comment back in February

how the hell did "Little Star" receive 0 votes?

We forgot who we are.
