Product Description
From Amazon.com
Judging by her current pose, the Material Girl has mutated into the Military Girl. Indeed, this time out Madonna launches an assault on the miscalculations of her past while also airing her grievances with a troubled world. Madonna has always jumped on trends, but, for the first time, she leaps and falls as she revisits the minimalist synth-pop that she helped define in the ‘80s and raps like Debbie Harry about lattes and nannies. She also divulges career and personal missteps that her audience recognized all along, and had already forgiven--or embraced. With the exception of the entrancing Bond film theme "Die Another Day," the music doesn't measure up to 1999's Ray of Light and '00's Music. And while Madonna has never been a stunning wordsmith, there is a distinction between the introspection on those albums and the self-absorption of American Life; the lyrics here often put one in mind of a cathartic letter one writes but never mails. --Beth Massa

Important Pop Album,
By "scamp98" (Edmonton, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Life (Audio CD)
In this day and age of pre-programmed hitmachines and over-emotive screamer/singers, this album will be looked back on as a true innovation. In the midst of syrupy ballads and by-the-numbers pop music, American Life rings like a crystal clear bell. It also is the first album where it seems Madonna wants to make a statement as an artist; an album where she wants to batton down the hatches and push off into Bowie territory. Fearless in construction, the songs strike before you can react. American Life stutters into existance, sounding an uneasy campaign against conformity. I'm So Stupid growls for attention. The heart of the album could be missed by the listener when confronted by the spikey songs that surround it. From Nothing Fails through Intervention and finishing with X-Static Process, you can hear stripped down pop perfection. Like it or not, you will not bear witness to a song quite like Mother and Father, guaranteed. Easy Ride winds and sprawls out to polish off another amazing addition to an already accomplished career. I hope this is only the beginning in a true sonic adventure from the world's premier pop artist. Love her or loathe her, American Life is an achievement. Listen with an open ear, head and heart.

Not the single,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: American Life/Die Another Day (Vinyl) (LP Record)
I ordered this item hoping it was the full American Life album on vinyl and not the single and was delighted when I pulled the full album in all it's vinyl glory out of the box. The product description leaves you questioning which title you are getting as there are 3 product descriptions. I must admit some of the songs are lost quality on vinyl because of the auto tune but tracks like x-static process and easy ride have never sounded better. So if you are a completist like me and have been a fan for almost 30 years this is a must buy.

Absolutely one of her best!,
This review is from: American Life (Audio CD)
I only can say that American Life is one of the best Madonna's efforts, maybe you hoped another up-beat album but this time is more introspective in lyrics and music, i think is very mature, the music sometimes is a little dark but all fits perfectly because of the theme in this record. Don't worry, this is not the last Madonna's album, i think it is like she said... it reflects her state of mind so she express this feeling in the album, maybe she took again the mynimalist synth pop into it but with great and awesome arranges in every song! I think she set her free with it and what i way to do it because is simply brilliant! and be prepared because she is planning a new album for the next year with Patrick Leonard and others say with William Orbit and i believe she'll gonna shut the mouth of many many people who thought her creativity was finished.Thumbs up for American Life! and don't judge without a listening.
