CRITIC REVIEWS
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.

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.

Not many artists can say they have released a 10 million copy selling album that is considered to be relatively forgotten compared to the rest of their discography.

While retrospectively, Music seems to be quite forgotten from time to time within Madonna's discography, as it was shaded by its predecessor Ray of Light (1998) and subsequently by her 2005 nu-disco release Confessions on a Dance Floor, it is undoubtedly one of her most elaborate, influential and well-done albums.

It's been 20 years since Music was released and it still sounds fresher than ever. In a time period when the main chart toppers were either Oops I Did It Again or the Marshall Mathers LP, Madonna stays true to herself while she creates some sort of a time capsule of her life with Music.
The title track is one of her best intro songs. Produced by Mirwaïs who pretty much produced half of this record, Music is a simple love letter to music with relatable lyrics and an infectious beat with ... read more
