One more great album from madonna
This is Madonna's best album , and she shows a mature and glamurous sound. The album theme in most of its songs is the critic , Being it critic to the American way of life , the luxurious life of hollywood or self critic like in "X-static process" . But she talks about love too , in "love profusion" , "nothing fails" and the excelent "intervention" (the best song). One song gets completely out of the context "nobody knows me" sounds like a outtake of Music , and sounds strange in such as good and mature album. Madonna has been criticized because of this album and its reviews were not favorable , but i still think this is the best album of madonna .
obs: the european (or in the case brazilian) version of this album in not difers from the U.S.A. version , the only diference is the back cover.

Lyrically, Her Best Effort
In short, this album is incredible. Did I like it when it first came out? No ... 5 years later, I appericate it more now than ever. Her meaning is deep, the energy is raw and it's unlike anything she's done before. (surprise, surprise) Absolute Standouts are: the hopeful "Intervention," the engergic "Nobody Knows Me," and the beautiful "Nothing Fails," which I think is one of the best ballads I've ever heard her do, and the first time I listened to it, it left me breathless. 5 years later, the title, American Life, just about says it all. Bravo - A+

Best Avril Lavigne CD ever!!!!!
I have never been this depressed in my entire life. Who wrote these lyrics, Hillary Clinton????
"I'm drinking a soy latte, I get a double shot-tay, it goes right through my body and you know I'm satisfied"- It's worth it just to hear this line.
"I'd like to express my own point of view, I'm not a Christian and I'm not a Jew"- Yeah, we pretty much figured that out, M.
"Push the button, don't push the button"- Make up your damn mind, Madonna!
"I'm not myself when you go quiet, I'm not myself alone at night"- (Don't ask)
Yeah, don't blame her awful rapping attempt for this trainwreck. There isn't one good song on this at all. I actually got laughed at for trying to do the song "American Life" at Karaoke.
I've tried so many times to like this CD. Really. If it hadn't been for "Confessions On A Dance Floor", her career would have been a complete and utter trainwreck. All the songs are contrived to the point where they sound exactly the same.
Yup, this stinks pretty bad.

Britney, is that you?
Probably Madonna's worst album ever, Madonna fails to achieve her concept, which some people tell me she was aiming for. Okay, so let me preface this by saying that I am a certified Madonna nut...over a thousand Madonna items collected from the beginning, and I've seen Maddy in concert over 20 times. I was even at the Confessions concert in London that's now out on DVD. I love Madonna. For me; however, it's always been the music. I don't think Madonna has had a good album since ROL, but this is her worst...I mean, it's bad. So, Madonna wants to make a concept album about the condition of the world (more celebrities preaching to us about the world...blah...blah).
Let's take the title track. As a song alone, it is horrid. Why is Madonna rapping in this song? It falls flat and because it's lost in the nauseating grip of Madonna's rapping, I for one am not really sure what Madonna's message is. Okay, sure, we have the lyrics, but it's a lousy single. And there is no passion in the song. Madonna made a fantastic video to the song, and then pulled it for a dumbed down version where she sings in front of world flags so as not to offend. What?! The original version reminded me of the Like a Prayer days and it almost conveyed the message of the song, but she pulled it. Whatever.
Let's move on to other songs...I'm So Stupid is SO stupid as a song, that I'm not even going to give it credence as a song. Nothing Fails is a good song that stands out on the album. It belongs on another CD. Hollywood is another horrible...horrible track. The problem with this album, as with COADF and Music is that she starts to mix her voice with computers and vocoders that you don't know who is Madonna and who is the imposter. Why is it appealing to make your voice sound like a computer? No Madonna fan has ever answered that question for me. Sorry, I prefer real musical tracks like Like A Prayer over Paradise where her voice sounds like a computer terminal. This album sounds like Britney's Blackout in a lot of places...lol...and that's bad. I thought the world was over when Madonna sang with Britney. That song, Me Against the Music was the worst piece of trash I'd ever heard, but this album sounds like a Britney album.
Love Profusion is another worthless track...filler really. I'm not even sure why a video was made for this song. Nobody Knows Me is as nauseating as I'm So Stupid. The other tracks aren't as bad, but cohesively, the album doesn't flow well. It is Madonna's worst album. Don't waste your time on this one. You know, there was a time years ago, when I didn't think there could be a bad Madonna album, but I was wrong, and this is it. Pick up Like a Prayer or Ray of Light instead and stay away from her newer ones.

not a great fan
American life is the best, cohesive album of Madonna. Although i am not a particular great fan of her earlier work, after listening to this album, it somehow made me discover some earlier gems on ray of light, erotica and music. But American Life stands out.
