 Get if only if you are a true Madonna fan June 29, 2008
Martine (Montreal)
I have all her CD's & I am a true Madonna fan for the past 20 years!
Sadly, I have to admit that this CD is not that great, I bought it because I get everything from Madonna, but this CD is absolutely not the best. You will enjoy about 4 songs in total!
 MADONNA Dances Back Onto The Charts- June 19, 2008

There have been some reviews written for this CD that say Madonna just hit a speed bump on the musical highway. In her defense, she may not have been able to avoid that bump, the reason being that her last album "Confessions on a Dancefloor" was absolutely brilliant, a perfect album in every way, which eventually led to the most successful live concert tour of her career thus far, and those ticket numbers would be huge. The "Confessions" CD was a concept album of sorts with each song segueing into the next, creating a dance floor extravaganza. How can she top that? Maybe she doesn't, so she follows a different, yet familiar path. Calling out the 'big guns' in the form of Timbaland and Justin Timberlake helps a heap too; the first single, "4 Minutes", is a great song and you can tell by the sound of it that the two T's are making their mark in the grooves. I'm thankful that Madonna's 'people' realized just how good "Give It To Me" is; this is the best song on the disc and is the new single that's just been released. This is Madonna at her very best as this song is super-hot and funky. As for other tracks, it doesn't hurt the cause to recruit Kanye West into the fold to help the rap/groove of "Beat Goes On" and old school funk shines big-time on "She's Not Me", with Prince collaborator Wendy Melvoin's signature guitar playing pushing the overall groove of the number.
How are the other tracks? To mention a few, "Candy Shop" is really good and "Dance Tonight" is a hot number that will probably end up on the urban charts soon. What ticks me off lately is when I read articles and reviews where people are taking shots at the fact that Madonna is almost 50 and shouldn't be strutting her stuff the way she does; this is age-ism and sexism at it's worst. For God's sake George Clooney is 47 and when was the last time you heard anyone making an issue out of that? Exactly. Madonna is a fantastic artist and entertainer who should just keep on trucking. Here's the way I look at it; Madonna at her very worst is far better than Britney at her very best. This is far, far from Madonna's worst album. She should be proud of this effort; it's actually one of her best, and definitely a CD worth buying.

I wish I could say something good about this album but unfortunately it's bitterly disappointing...and this is coming from a long time fan. I've been listening to this CD for the last month thinking that it might grow on me but the longer I own it the harder it is for me to listen past the first four tracks.
Though there are a couple of good tunes like Give It 2 Me and Heartbeat, most tracks on here are mediocre at best - if not down right terrible. Not a single song really stands out. Songs like Incredible and Spanish Lesson will make your ears bleed. The lyrics are just as scary as the album cover...pathetic and uninspiring. It's such a shame that the same artist that gave us 'Ray of Light' would end up releasing such trash.

The very first time I listened to this album, I was like: "Oh ya, now I remember why I stopped listening to Madonna after the "Immaculate Collection"...That is the only Madonna CD I own, BTW. I could barely pick out 3 tunes I could get into on "Hard Candy"...But...
Not wanting to give it up to soon, I loaded it up again on my next run and I was genuinely surprised how my outlook changed on the second listen. There is a great mix of club beats and top pop hits here along with some pretty descent variety. I found myself wanting to listen to all the songs...again. While the dance beats may not have a long run in the clubs, there is enough mixture here to warrant owning this CD, especially if you are a Madonna fan. I believe she has stayed true to herself while offering beats and melodies that are both diverse and, from a technical standpoint, well mixed. You'll be glad you have a Sub in your ride...
Sure, I still have my fav's off this CD and I guarantee you will too...Madonna has offered a modern take on her style and come full circle with this release. Enjoy !

hi there,best tracks for dancing from the album are tracks 1-candy shop,2-4 minutes,3-give it 2 me,4-heartbeat,6-shes not me,8-beat goes on,9-dance 2 night.With just these 7 songs you will be dancing all night.The rest are o.k.I,ve been a MADONNA FAN since day 1 (oct.23-1982)when i heard EVERYBODY on the radio.I find that she is going back to her roots with this album.I through she should of called it confessions on the dancefloor 2.Its sounds like that one alot wich it great.She is the only artist in rock era that has never stop in the past 26 years plus.So if your a madonna fan its worth getting.I also have a copy of the hard candy box set.The bonus remixes are worth nothing.If you really want remixes of 4 minutes its better to buy the maxi single import with the 6 remixes.Madonna fan forever tim
