The American life album sits on the fan fence. You will either love it or hate! A lot of the fans think this is one of her worst however i beg to differ - compared to the new Hard Candy this is a great album.
The tongue in cheeky American Life is great if you take it for what it is! The rest is good, funky tunes, not the best lyrics (but is Madonna known for her Lyrics??). I purchased this simply because i lost mine and it was a gem to listen to again. buy it, try it and make up your own mind!
This is a great album and she is a great singer, I have also got some of her other albums and in the future I might buy some of her other albums, and I might go and see her in concert.
to people who are die hard fans of madonna this is just a "it has her name on, ill have it", but for people outside of that, this album was supposedly her "dip" or "flop", but personally, this is the only album of hers i have, i got it as i think it was a pretty good "let's change image and sound", instead of a new hairstyle madonna finnally did something original, all the synth intruments and acoustic guitars are, well, kick ass! it produced some thought provoking songs, and i believe that this should have done so much better,
there, i said it.
i like madonna's "american life" album!
singles: "american life" "die another day" (which was not the worst bond song, "a view to a kill" anyone?) "hollywood" and "love profrusion"
i have all her albums but didnt get this one because i didnt think it would be any good, bought it cheap on ebay and glad i did as now think it is one of her best
Although, this album was Madonnas financial failure due to many political and promotional factors, this album opens new pages in Madonna's "journey" and full with beautiful and energising songs and ballads, that made many night club evenings so much memorable. American Life feat Missy Elliott, Love Profusion and of corse Nothing Fails, something that you will never forget. "I tried to be a boy I tried to be a girl I tried to be a mess I tried to be the best" ...
