Madonna

Ray Of Light

The perfect album for Madonna...

Review Score:

(10/10)
Through her many different styles and videos, Madonna has proven numerous times that she's not just a great visual performer. She makes great music. This is seen more clearly on "Ray of Light" than any of her other albums.

1) Drowned World/ Substitute for Love: A moody ballad that is the perfect opener. Madonna's vocals sound perfect and clean on this touching song. 5/5

2) Swim: A cross between a ballad and faster paced song. This song is instantly catchy and a good sing-a-long. 5/5

3) Ray of Light: Obviously, this is one of the best songs ever. From the opening guitar chords to the almost orgasmic chorus, this one hits it out of the park. 6/5

4) Candy Perfume Girl: This one has a real feel to it. I always get images of the inner city when I hear it. 5/5

5) Skin: Amazing! The part where she says "put your hand on my skin" is so haunting and beautiful. 5/5

6) Nothing Really Matters: One of my favorite Madonna songs. The chorus is darn catchy and it feels sort of dark and elusive. 6/5

7) Sky Fits Heaven: Great words on this one. 5/5

8) Shanti/ Ashtangi: Sort of a relegious chant. Good, but not the strongest song here. 4/5

9) Frozen: Another classic Madonna song. 6/5

10) The Power of Goodbye: Very touching and beautiful. Her vocals really shine on this one. 6/5

11) To Have and Not to Hold: Good, but not great. 4/5

12) Little Star: A Moving tribute to Madonna's daughter. 5/5

13) Mer Girl: Almost an a cappella song. Lovely. 5/5

One of the best albums of recent years. Buy it!
