Album Notes 1998's RAY OF LIGHT marked Madonna's move toward electronica, and a larger journey back to her dance-club roots. That journey was completed with 2005's CONFESSIONS ON A DANCEFLOOR. A collection of hardcore club tracks with few mainstream pop concessions, CONFESSIONS is packed wall-to-wall with driving, electronica-driven grooves.Madonna has always been one of the reigning queens of postmodern alchemy, and this record is a perfect example of her magic. A primary layer of sleek, old-school disco is combined with pile-driving house and techno, not to mention more than a few contemporary production flourishes. Either directly or indirectly, CONFESSIONS references '70s and early-'80s dance music, including Madonna's own, but while the album seems retro in several areas, it also has a distinct futuristic sheen. Nothing here has the hook-heavy single status of "Material Girl" or "Like A Prayer," but the pulsing intensity of the tracks is sheer sonic pleasure, making Madonna's return to straight-up dance music a welcome homecoming.

Following the almost 'dismal' effort that is otherwise known as 'Music' i think this newest offering really shows Madonna at her finest - doing what she does best, pure dance music with the kind of vocals that only madonna can deliver. I personally really enjoyed tracks 1 and 3 which are just superbly 'get up out of your chair and dance' - you'll be tapping your feet and singing along in no time (If you aren't already!) Track 2 is again very nice, a little more mellow but funky all the same. Track 10 is really unusual, i can almost detect some undertones of the Ray of light album, as i can in track 4. Some of the tracks are edging on trance style synths and rhythms, very unique indeed. If you like Daft Punk, The Orb and good old funky beats then this is the album for you. All in all - if you love Madonna, her attitude and her style, you'll surely love this! 10/10!! Review ID: 10000000000101453 Was this review helpful?

This is by far her best work in a very long time well since Like a Virgin Album. I urge you to go out and get this! I would rate this 10 out of 10.

I vaguely remember an awful attempt at club/dance music in the eighties by Madonna called "You can dance" - Yes maybe we can and probably we can't but I really can't imagine many folks swung their stuff to that album. But some 15 years or more on - she's got it right. Very catchy tunes all blended together and very polished production as you would expect. Influences of house , disco , trance and I'll say it again "catchy" tracks - instantly likeable album for singing & dancin' round the bedroom , lounge or dance floor. I'm not a big madonna fan but I do like dance music and this is a very good dance record. I would love a few more instrumental/dub sections to break up Madonna's vocals and perhaps a few more tempo drops would not go amiss. As a party record it's just great and this should do very well. I'm looking forward to the single mixes that will appear over the coming months - hopefully some thin white duke / sasha masterpieces will be gracing my decks. Overall Good 4/5 - Perhaps a little longer and more imagination on the sections that link the tracks and I would have given it a 5/5. Review ID: 10000000000064746 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 06/01/06 by: 4 of 7 people found this review helpful. im sat here reading all the reviews other people have left for this, i disagree. the album is full of fillers..... most of them are slow and dull and boring. i have listened to the whole album which i bought and i only like 2, number 1 and number 11 (number 11s intro sound 'like a prayer', which means she must be losing here touch). i would not buy this album again.... i would advise you to keep clear....
