There's a really bad track for every really good track.

I see. Thank you, that makes sense. I think I'll get the tracks you suggested through iTunes for now.

Sirius is apparently playing the album all the way through on The Beat, but I think I've missed 95% of it already.

Well, I confess. I quite like it. I've only just gotten it and haven't made my way through the whole CD yet - but my drive home listening to it was great. I love Hung Up, and, so far, I liked Get Together, Sorry, Let It Will Be, and Forbidden Love. Future Lovers and I Love NY were okay. I'm listening to the rest now. I like that it's one continuous play - no pauses between the songs (I know, that's a minor thing, but it works).

I've been reading the reviews; very mixed. One thing seems to have escaped every reviewer I've read who's mentioned the Hung Up video: irony, kids. She's supposed to look dorky and goofy in the studio. The she goes out and gets all the krunkers to dance her goofy way at the end, too. I think it's hilarious.

Anyway... I'm on Jump now, and I like this, too. Nyah.

Abercrombie & Fitch must love it. Sorry, Let It Will Be, Jump and Push have been added to their heavy rotation.

Naw. I stick with Goodwill and Gabriel Brothers.

I'm all about not caring what I look like.

They are pretty damned spendy for a bunch if 70's retro faux aged crap that will be out of style in 6 months to a year. It is mostly third world slave made clothing made to look thrift store. Cut out the middle man and get real old stuff is what I say. But, there are a few things at Hollister that are cool - jewelry type stuff.

Thank Gawd I went to WalMart to buy it on sale for 9 bucks. If not, I would want my money back.

America Life is better than this.

It fun to walk into a bar and see 5 or 6 guys wearing the same shirt.

I honestly wait 2 or 3 years and go to Goodwill and buy the same shirt for $1. I like being out of style.

Style is about what looks good on you, not about what a designer cranks out every year, anyway. Same page as me, Homie.

I think this cd is excellent!!... I practically love every track!... and I don't think that's ever happened with a Madonna cd.. at least not for me. Usually there's a few strong tracks that make it as singles and I like them... and that's about it...

I was reading this analysis of each song (with grading) the other day and It described them better then I could.. and I didn't realize there were so many samples. The music is so layered and dense that I'm still listening for them...

Strong tracks for me aside from Hung Up are Sorry... Jump, Push, I Love New York and Get Together. Musically, I think it's far superior then her previous 3 cds in this sort of electronic category.
