Reviews don't come much rougher than this
This is the roughest review I have ever read. I do agree that the songs I have heard from the last Madonna album aren't exactly the best she made (to me Like A Prayer tops the list and from there it was all down hill) but this is harsh. Really harsh. And fun.
By Mark Prindle in Citizine, found through Halley's Comment:
"...in all my years of reviewing - from the beginning of the 20th century clear through to the end of the 21st -- I never expected to come across an album with such a volatile mixture of uncreative melody, embarrassing production, and offensive, moronic lyricism that would physically bust through the bottom of my scale and force my wife to design a graphic for "ZERO." After all, how would one go about getting a ZERO on a scale of 1 to 10? Genius that she is, Madonna has figured it out!"
