My rate is a bit LOONY and I think it may settle in time but at the moment, I’m all over MADAME X...
 
I definitely need more time with certain songs so their scores might get an upgrade in the near future.
 
Also, I feel I should add that the 10s are relative- compared to current music and what I’m loving now. They certainly don’t touch most of the top 10s in her back catalogue

I’m not marking yet as I fear after 4 plays I’m going to be a bit stingey but I do sense there’s a strong album here so I’m not showing my hand yet.
 
I'm so glad those 3 bonus tracks ended up on super deluxe edition for the fanzzzz and not on the streaming and vinyl editions.
 
Very early to do this but HERE GOES

That averages at 7 but I give the album an 8 overall. I just need to listen to the end more, the scores will probably improve when I do

To me, a 10 is always a 10. 10 is Like A Prayer/Vogue/Oh Father level. I judge my 10s against those, be it old or new material. A 10 loses its significance if it means something different each time.

Am I making any sense?

You are. I meant more that although these are 10s, they are not up there with her very best 10s. Of which she has them in abundance.

A 10 is all RELATIVE darling. God Control is an easy 10 in the context of this album/2019/any other arbitrary comparison I may choose to apply. It's not half as great as Jump, but there are 10s and there are 10s, you know?

I dunno. The 10s that aren’t up to the level of the 10s...aren’t they simply 9s?

That's the basis I used although in a slightly self-contradictory way. I couldn't give anything a 10 because Frozen and Like A Prayer are 10s. But I don't have an issue giving 9s to Medellin and Crave even though they'd have been unlikely to be 9s if they were on RoL. It sort of makes sense in my head...
 
For all her attempts at saying something important on this record i think the best lyric is quite a straightforward one from Crazy, maybe because it resonates at the moment.

“Spent a long time wakin' up
Used to think that I was not enough for you
Now I see that I'm just way too much”
 
Giving Madame another listen on the way home from work before I drop a loon rate this evening :disco:

Still not heard the bonus tracks, and from what I've read here I don't intend seeking them out just yet. I don't want them to sully the album for now.
 
lolly's rate is actually not THAT loony. Only one 10.

I was tempted to throw in a couple of 9.5s, but was worried I'd upset Diddy.

Perhaps I should just rate out of 20 instead.
