"Madame X" rate

[OutSynk]

Six 10's and five 9's with "Batuka" and "Extreme Occident" not even among them. You can always count on @Suedey to deliver the loony.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I'm nearly ready to upgrade CRAVE and maybe even FAZ GOSTOSO to 11 TBQH!!!!

 

[Debbie Jellinsky]

I can't really rate the individual songs yet, but I'm happy with the album overall. There are some songs that I can't get into (pretty much all the ones with featured artists) but that's fine.

Amazing
God Control
I Don't Search I Find

Love
Dark Ballet
Crazy
Come Alive
Looking For Mercy
I Rise
Extreme Occident
Crave

Fine
Killers Who Are Partying

I'm sorry. I can't. Don't Hate Me.
Medellin
Future
Batuka
Faz Gostoso
Bitch I'm Loca

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Could someone else just rate it 9 please? I'm feeling lonely.

 

[Jark]

I'm sorry. I can't. Don't Hate Me.
Medellin
Future
Batuka
Faz Gostoso
Bitch I'm Loca

xenophobe!!!

 

[Debbie Jellinsky]

xenophobe!!!

Must be my German-ness coming through...

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

After second listen:

02 Medellín - Ugh

03 Dark Ballet - it’s hard to rate this one. It has seconds of genius but the rest is mostly annoying.

10 God Control - Yaaaas, someone please make it a mix with Impressive Instant and throw in the American Life rap too.

08 Future - Not as fun as Unapologetic Bitch but still good.

04 Batuka - The vocals are terrible

10 Killers Who Are Partying - Ok so I hate this cunt for making it so hard to enjoy her music nowadays. The lyrics are terrible and deserve a -1, but mixing a bit of fado with some electronica I realize is exactly what I need in my life right now.

In fact this album should have been the Portuguese Music (with fado instead of country)

...anyway back to this boring section:

03 Crave - Which song does the intro remind me of?
05 Crazy
04 Come Alive



08 Extreme Occident - I’ve already got a bit tired of this
09 Faz Gostoso
08 Bitch I'm Loca
08 I Don't Search I Find (love the 90’s sound)
06 Looking for Mercy
02 I Rise

?? Funana
?? Back That Up To the Beat
?? Ciao Bella

I'd absolutely be up for the album being even more fado influenced. The bits that made it through are exquisite.

 

[OutSynk]

I'm upgrading God Control from a 5 to a 6.5.

[RaspberrySwirl]

Your bad taste

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

And to think that miss @ameraal just threw shade at me for listening to Madame X.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

The Portuguese bits in Killers Who Are Partying and Extreme Occident are just spectacular.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

And to think that miss @ameraal just threw shade at me for listening to Madame X.

Oh I see. It's the 'cool gays' brigade who think Madame X is so passé. How very passé in itself.

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Babe if I wanted to be cool, I wouldn’t be posting on Moopy.

 

[lolly]

I'm upgrading God Control from a 5 to a 6.5.

I'm upgrading it from 9 to 13

 

[lolly]

Could someone else just rate it 9 please? I'm feeling lonely.

Believe me, I'm nearly there for it.

 

[OutSynk]

Honestly "Ciao Bella" is the perfect ending to the album. It sounds nothing like the rest of the album but it's a much needed uplifting moment after some of the darker songs.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

It's starting to grow on me.

 

[OutSynk]

I finally listened to "Fanuna" for the second time and it's not as shit as I remembered. I feel a score upgrade coming.

 

[Iguana]

I'm ALMOST ready to do my one week in loon rate. There's going to be lots of upward movement in my scores

 

[Iguana]

Right, my rate now in the context of the album (as opposed to get whole career):

10 Medellín
09 Dark Ballet
09 God Control
08 Future
06 Batuka
08 Killers Who Are Partying
10 Crave
09 Crazy
09 Come Alive
07 Extreme Occident
08 Faz Gostoso
08 Bitch I'm Loca
09 I Don't Search I Find
08 Looking for Mercy
09 I Rise

07 Funana
07 Back That Up To the Beat
07 Ciao Bella

 

[Iguana]

I've now joined you on a 9, sis

@Suedey surely you're a 9 by now?

 

[Tisch]

Been listening all week and am READY. Numbers are based on nothing really. Just how I FEEL.

10 Medellín
09 Dark Ballet
10 God Control
07 Future
06 Batuka
08 Killers Who Are Partying
10 Crave
07 Crazy
09 Come Alive
06 Extreme Occident
08 Faz Gostoso
08 Bitch I'm Loca
09 I Don't Search I Find
06 Looking for Mercy
09 I Rise

09 Funana
05 Back That Up To the Beat
05 Ciao Bella

 

[Cerro de Casa]

LOON UP!

 

[Cécile]

Changed my vote to a 9.

09 Medellín
10 Dark Ballet - they are SO naive. Now that the dust has settled after the Eurovision disaster I quite admire that she did THAT on an Israeli stage.
09 God Control
08 Future - quite good in context of the album.
10 Batuka - Madonna still as surprising as ever in 2019.
08 Killers Who Are Partying
10 Crave
08 Crazy
09 Come Alive
11 Extreme Occident - amazing. The loons all wanted her to record ROL part 2 but instead she opted for Portugese Life which is the best thing she could have done.
10 Faz Gostoso
08 Bitch I'm Loca - the guitar riff sounds like It's Like That by MC.
10 I Don't Search I Find - fabulous! Could be from the Rain Tapes.
10 Looking for Mercy
07 I Rise - this sounds too much like Rebel Heart.

05 Funana
04 Back That Up To the Beat
05 Ciao Bella

 

[lolly]

Believe me, I'm nearly there for it.

And I've arrived

 

[Iguana]

Welcome to the party! It's a CELEBRATION

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Five 9s now! YAY!

06 Looking for Mercy
07 I Rise

YAY

 

[Christian]

Gosh, WHAT an album.

So much better than MDNA and the rotten Rebel Heart, but that doesn't sadly make it all that good.

SIX out of TEN for me.

 

[OutSynk]

As an album I'm not sure it holds together as well as her albums from the 00's but she hasn't made music as good as "Killers", "Batuka" and "Extreme Occident" in more than a DECADE.

That being said "Ciao Bella" is actually the one that gets me the most. There is just something about it that touches my SOUL.

SOMETIMES...I...DESPAIR
SOMETIMES...I have...HOPE
SOMETIMES...I don't...KNOW
SOMETIMES...I feel...HAPPY

Madonna + Mirwais FOREVER <3

 

[Jark]

Gosh, WHAT an album.

I feel like this post is so bipolar

 

[Jark]

Ciao Bella is amaze and it's driving me crazy that I can't stream it

 

[Christian]

I feel like this post is so bipolar

It's a lot better than MDNA and Rebel Heart but not actually a very good album.

 

[Iguana]

It's a great album. I'm still loving it! Crave really has become an absolute favourite

 

[Jark]

I'm playing it less currently, maybe to avoid wearing it out, but still going back to God Control, Killers and Come Alive most days - def the holy trinity
