Madonna - Hard Candy (Yes/No/Unsure)

[baboles]

I'm not sure if I am going to buy this album. The lead single "4 Minutes" didn't impress me too much. It was just okay for me. I bought her other album from 2005 Confessions on the Dance Floor because I just couldn't get enough of "Hung Up" and "Sorry".

I've got it. I'm still wading through it to decide how I feel.

I am DYING to get this album I can not wait. Even though I am sorry it won't be a COAD pt 2 (I LOOOVED that album) I am still anticipating good things. Ofcourse w/ Madge too, it seems like every other album is a success, so maybe HC won't be so swell...naw, it's just gotta be! lol

I'm digging it so far. It's quite a sonic adventure. Not sure how the public at large will react to it, but Hard Candy is easily one of the most innnovative mainstream albums of the year. My faves are Give It 2 Me, Heartbeat, Dance2Night, and Voices.

The rest of the album is actually quite different from the first single 4 Minutes.

I won't listen to any leaks. I am looking forward to buying it; I already have the song titles memorized along with what track number they are.

To clarify, my copy is not a "leak," but a press copy that I received along with a Hard Candy promotional package that included a bag of actual candy. The source of the recent internet leak was very likely a press/review copy since they were deliverd to primary outlets on Friday & Saturday. (I am also hosting a CD release party on May 2. http://www.edgeboston.com/index.php?ch=edgeatnight )

Warner has a released a streaming package of 45-second clips of each song.

The best remixes of 4 Minutes are "Peter Rauhofer Saves Paris," "Peter Rauhofer Saves NY," and "Edson Pride Saves the World Remix." There are also remixes by Marcos Castellon, Bob Sinclar and Tracy Young.
