Madonna - American Life (Parental Advisory, 2003) CD 2003 In Excellent Condition

Description: Madonna - American Life (Parental Advisory, 2003). Condition is Like New. Dispatched with Royal Mail 2nd Class Large Letter. Having reinvented herself for the umpteenth time on her last album of jittery electronic effects and shuffling beats, American Life, finds the Queen of Pop in familiar territory and in a self-obsessed mood. Keeping with the Music formula and utilising the talent of French production-wizard Mirwais Ahmadzai has resulted in an album rich in delightful digital disco rhythms, exuberant electro and shattered beats. In the main, Mirwais' magic makes for spellbinding music; unfortunate then that the 44-year-old mum's self indulgent ramblings induce a less pleasurable stupor. The single "American Life" swaggers along with a jaunty cyber strut, while Madge offers us a witty lyrical dismantling of fame and the attendant somewhat soulless "luxuries". It's hard too feel too much sympathy though and her incessant first-person references (nearly 350 of them) begin to grate even before she announces "I am so stupid 'cause I used to be in a fuzzy dream". As well as sarcastic attacks on the fame machine she has so cleverly oiled during her 21-year tenure as music's monarch, Madge is quick to defend her relationship with a sprinkling of odes to current squeeze Guy Ritchie. Subtle and tender acoustic-based moments such as "X-Static Process" and "Nothing Fails" and the string-led beauty of "Easy Ride" add variety while truculent tracks such as "Hollywood" make for a mixed bag, but one that certainly swings in style. --Christopher Barrett Product description American Life CD Maverick, 9362 48454 2, 2003, 11 Track Track Listings 1American Life 2Hollywood 3I'm So Stupid 4Love Profusion 5Nobody Knows Me 6Nothing Fails 7Intervention 8X-Static Process 9Mother and Father 10Die Another Day 11Easy Ride Product information Original Release Date‎2003 Label‎Rhino Number of discs‎1 ASIN‎B00008X8NV American Life Hollywood I'm So Stupid Love Profusion Nobody Knows Me Nothing Fails Intervention X-Static Process Mother and Father Die Another Day Easy Ride
