CRITIC REVIEWS
Never got the hype for this album. It sounds like a mixture of Ray of Light and American Life but without any of the high points of either album. "Music" is simply a snapshot of how Madonna's music was developing between 1998-2003, but it isn't a cohesive album on its own.

Caught between her desires to return to the commercial and club success of her 80s career and to maintain the critical accolades of Ray of Light, Madonna entered the 21st century with a flawed but enjoyable pop record. The tracks on Music range from classic dance bangers ('Music') to strange, guitar-heavy Americana ballads ('Gone.') The blend of styles creates an incongruous tracklist with some of my favorite Madonna songs but also some tracks that feel entirely inconsequential.

☆☆½ ~ I have some kind of ambivalence about the whole album concept and its sound. Lacks too much.
The only defect of this album is the fact that it is produced exaggeratedly in some bands, making it very noisy in some moments.
