 Absoblimminglutely brilliant! June 20, 2008

I've liked Madonna on and off since she started in the 80's with 'Holiday'. I bought most of her early stuff when it was still sold on vinyl but for some strange reason stopped buying her music when it went on to CD format. Since then, some of her music grabbed me, some didn't, but I've always admired her ability to transform herself with the times. I think Madonna has the Marmite factor - you either love her or you hate her! Anyway,I happened to be listening to the radio on the way to work one morning and heard '4 minutes' being played. I recognised Timberlake's voice and assumed it was his new song, no problem, I like his music and was really getting into this song when I recognised Madge's voice. I happen to work in a supermarket so I thought I'd check this out in the CD section and bought 'Hard Candy' on the strength of just that track. As you cannot buy CD singles anymore, I was a bit concerned that I was effectively paying 10 for this one track but do you know I haven't looked back - it was the best tenner I've spent in a long while! Everytime I listen to it I like it more and more. I love track 3, 'Give it to me' and track 6, 'She's not me'. My son, who's 11, and quick to criticise my taste in music, has been caught endlessly playing track 7, 'Incredible' I just cannot understand all these other reviews that say she's trying too hard to be young and trendy, so what! It is what it is - bloody good, dancing music. I'm 46 yrs old, nearly as old as dear Madge herself, and I think it's one of her best productions in all the years I've been listening to her. Are these negative reviews written by ageist youngsters who think that anyone over 40 should only be listening to Il Divo with a cup of cocoa at hand? I've recommended this CD to everyone, young and old. I play it over and over again, when I'm doing the housework, when I'm relaxing with a drink and especially when I'm driving, which I hate, but this CD makes my journeys over too soon! Go on, buy it, I don't think you'll regret it!!!
 A mixed bag of candy June 20, 2008
A quick review of each song for you busy people out there...
Candy Shop - is tongue in cheek, I'd give it 5 stars if it didn't have the tragic rap from Pharrell - 4/5
4 Minutes - Would be better if there was more Madonna, less Timberlake - 3/5
Give It To Me - Abysmal lyrics, possibly written by an 8 year old, and what the heck is that "get stupid" bridge about?? - 2/5
Heartbeat - Not too bad - 3/5
Miles Away - Reminds me of some classic Madonna songs - 4/5
She's Not Me - Quite funky and fun - 3.5/5
Incredible - Starts off very well but descends into a load of crap - 2/5
Beat Goes On - This is more like it... Funky, dancey, floor-filler - 5
Dance 2Night - Very cool, reminds me of the Confessions Tour version of Erotica - 5
Spanish Lesson - Oh dear, she's lost the plot again, terrible! - 1/5
Devil Wouldn't Recognize You - Another reminder of classic Madge - 4/5
Voices - Unfinished Sympathy meets an East European Eurovision entry - 4/5
So the average of those scores on the doors is... 3.375!!
not that great.....3 good songs...others really poor. June 19, 2008

I have been a fan of madonna since 1983 and have bought every album and single she has made. I can honestly say this collection of songs is utter rubbish! The worst thing madonna has ever done. Madonna is trying far to hard to be young and "down with the kids!!" in an R'n'B hip hop stylee and really does not pull it off! She aint 25 years old anymore and should try to make more mature music to express her ability as a serious artist and not waste her talet on this kind of rubbish!
 An easy exit?? June 15, 2008

Looks like the Queen of Pop decided to get ready for retirement :-( Pitty, but that's what hearing this album makes you feel like. A bit out of date, out of sparkle, out of re-invention :-( Strong message on 4 minutes(ok, we all get it - we screw the planet) If i had to name the best track on the album - it would be 'Far Away' - smooth, catchy and melodic
