I've listened to 'American Life' three times already today

The album or the single?

I bought the album on Turkish cassette for 50p last week and I've popped it on Discogs for £12. It still hasn't made me pop it on, though, but I might just have a bash this afternoon for SHITS AND GIGGLES.

ALBAM hun!!
 
I always wished that I could find
Someone as beautiful as you
But in the process I forgot

That I was special too

11 Love Profusion
11 Nobody Knows Me
11 Nothing Fails
11 Intervention
11 X-Static Process

Name a better 5 songs in a row on a Madonna album. Its impossible

DON’T GET ME FUCKING STARTED, BITCH
 
DON’T GET ME FUCKING STARTED, BITCH

I can't find any 5 better IN A ROW. This one comes close, but Shanti/Ashtangi lets it down

Skin
Nothing Really Matters
Sky Fits Heaven
Shanti/Ashtangi
Frozen

Firstly, Intervention and X-Static Process aren't up to the same level as the rest, and even if they are all 10/10s (YOU CAN'T HAVE MORE THAN ONE 11, THAT'S THE POINT *has breakdown*), then

Til Death Do Us Part
Promise To Try
Cherish
Dear Jessie
Oh Father

WINS HANDS DOWN

And anyway, you could go the other way and do

Frozen
The Power of Goodbye
To Have And Not To Hold
Little Star (Ok, maybe not)
Mer Girl
 
I'm obviously quite the PERVERT, because I remember preferring I'm So Stupid to a lot of it. As an album I've always found it pretty tepid. Let's see how it is however many years since the last time I listened to it.

Did we do any Madonna sync listens?

If I can only have 1 11, it is Nothing Fails. The rest are 10

Til Death Do Us Part tops everything from American Life (and almost everything she's ever released), but Dear Jessie and Oh Father make that not quite as good for me

Those 5 are great but I can't not include Skin or Nothing Really Matters from ROL

We did some WATCHES. I'd be up for MORE MADGE :disco:

A hodge podge. But some amazing highs. Still better than anything post Hard Candy
 
I’ve always enjoyed this album and feel like the albums ‘Ray of Light’, ‘Music’, ‘American Life’ and ‘Madame X’ make up their own mini family of Madonna albums.
 
Some of American Life is absolutely GORGEOUS. I agree it's better than anything from Hard Candy on, even though I do love Madame X
