Not particularly a hip-hop fan but some of this was alright. A bit too long though as I started to get bored towards the end.

Rated 4/10

There was an inkling of optimism initially but this just rapidly descended into something that I don’t think I could ever describe.

Rated 4/10

I remember at the time it was considered a ground breaking album for Madonna. Problem is whilst that may be true it doesn’t really feel ground breaking in the wider music context. Also reinforced my opinion that whilst Madonna may have been making great pop singles during her career the albums didn’t really add much.

Ok so I know this album is well regarded so was looking forward to giving it a listen. For a genre of music I don’t usually seek out it was more enjoyable than I was expecting. Probably not one I will re listen to a lot but certainly wouldn’t discard it out of hand.

3.2 from me.

A pleasant surprise in that there were a few songs I quite liked but also several I wasn’t so keen on. Overall far too long and rather overblown.

I think I prefer the later Who rather than this Beatles-esque music. Hints of what was to come but on the whole not a great album compared to what else was around at the time.

I get the cultural significance of this record but I just don’t think I was put on this earth to listen to heavy metal. It’s just not for me. I’d like to say I’d listen to it again but I probably won’t.
