Madonna

Bedtime Stories

The shaky one

Review Score:

(4/10)
Madonna could have been on top of her game in 1994. She should have swallowed her pride and opened her heart with Pat Leonard's help. Instead, this album sounds like trail mix tastes. A bunch of over-rated producers who were hip at the time(a real joke in retrospect!)were hired in a desperate attempt by record company execs to rescue Madge from the abyss that followed Erotica, Sex and Body of Evidence. Madonna's self-cofidence was shaken, but her vulnerability is polished and streamlined into weak,over-produced nonsense. Inside of Me is worth a listen, although it sounds similar to a couple of other ballads she has made over the years. Secret is the only real standout track, unless you thought Take A Bow was a great song! This is definitely only worth exploring after you have bought her other albums. Buy GHV2 if you just want the hits. Even Madge doesn't like this one.
