RS gave it a great review and so have other critics saying its deeply personal. You all would hate on it if it sounded like every other Top 40 song like you did with Girls Gone Wild yet songs like Love Spent, Gangbang and Falling Free sound amazing and nothing like the current Hot-100. Turn Up the Radio is pure pop bliss and reminds me of the True Blue carefree era. No casual fan will ever be happy with the current Madonna bc unlike your Kelly Clsrkson, Janet, Rihanna, Britney, Mariah etc she drastically alters her sound and no 2 albums are alike, it's by all means not her greatest like Like a Prayer, Ray of Light or Confessions but still far ahead of the weakest albums Hard Candy, Like a Virgin, I'm Breathless. Madonna has never made a truly bad album and some like Eriotica and American Life got better with time. This is a middle of the road Madonna album for me like Music or Bedtime Stories...some very great tracks, some ok, nothing horrible.
