THE MOST DAZZLING ALBUM OF HER CAREER
Ray Of Light is not my personal favorite; but lyrically, musically, vocally, & spiritually it is the highest quality album she's ever made.

After a few GLITTER albums Madonna COMES BACK!
Like most artist as famous as Madonna you reach a point where you lose your SPUNK. For Janet Jackson she did 3 GLITTER albums back to back. Her GLITTER's were All For You, Damita Jo, and 20 YEARS OLD. For Madonna the arrival of the 90's was when this pop diva's time seemed to come to an end. Instead of addictive pop songs she seemed to soften with time and giving more ballads then anything else. But being a true fan i still brought every CD. After a few duds back to back it would be 1997 where we saw Madonna at the top of her game again with something different, creative, and CUTTING EDGE!! Now this album is great but in no means a masterpiece the way the critics hailed it to be. With any release from a commercial artist you will be lucky to find 5 good songs on a 12 track album while the rest turn out to be DUDS!!! Overall this is a pretty good album. The ones after this were total DUDS as well and in 2008 with the creative team of Timbaland i expected to see this diva back on top with another come back. Instead HARD CANDY disappoints and more like a treat that's a bad memory of Halloween.

New Rave
Supposedly, fems (like me) find Madonna irresistible. It wasn't until "Live To Tell" I could muster much respect, however. Here, Madonna - with the collaboration of William Orbit - replaces her disco pop pouting and will-to-shock (all the way to the bank) with something resembling self-actualized artistry. Trendy is the surface, techno is the bling, but boomers will appreciate the backwards riffs, guitar arpeggios and unexpected seventh chords. The sound is trippy - Magical Mystery Tour via late-period New Order. "Drowned World/Substitute For Love" vibrates ambiguously, like a Lava Lamp; "Candy Perfume Girl" buzzes by on mists of gender navelgazing; "The Power of Goodbye" shimmers with zen assurance; "Shanti/Ashtangi" mines Exotica for trance profundity; and "Mer Girl" freaks ya out with Gothic New Age balladry. Other downloadable goodies, too, especially the jolting title track, mashing retro moves with crackling grooves, and Madonna's most 'rock&roll' vocal. Clockwatching or staying on task, Ray Of Light is computer organic space vibes - a full 10 years on. If Madonna is Bowie, here's "Heroes."

A must-have!
Madonna's return to prominence with the correct amount of elements from pop (to appeal to general audiences), electronica (enough to make it an outstanding and trend-setting album) and spirituality (yes, she's still a pop icon). Ray of Light put Madonna in the spotlight once again with rave reviews from critics and people in general. You don't have to be a fan to enjoy this music journey through Madonna's best accomplished album.

My favorite Madonna album
This is my favorite Madonna album. It is pure ear candy from start to finish. It includes the hit singles "Frozen", "Ray Of Light", "The Power Of Good-Bye", and in Europe, "Drowned World/Substitute For Love". This album is very electronica heavy. It was produced by electronica genious Britan's own William Orbit. This album put her back on the map after being gone from the music scene with new music for the previous six years.
