    This is my favorite Madonna ALbum. My favorite song on the album is "Get Together". The album is something you can put on and enjoy anytime. I totally reccomend checking it out. Key Tracks: "Get Together" "Hung Up" "Jump" and "Sorry"

    This album is one of those albums that feels like a story, meaning that the songs barely differ in quality. Although some such as "Push" and "How High" slightly dampen the feeling of, just well-made music, there's no saying that this woman isn't something of a prodigy.
    Selling in its truckloads, Madonna still has it; the ability to create more of what made her originally famous. Her music.

    Selling in its truckloads, Madonna still has it; the ability to create more of what made her originally famous. Her music. She is still talented, is looking just as great as ever in the music videos, and has topped up her talent on dancing. We are forced to ask ourselves, is there anything this woman can't do?
    Still topping the charts almost 30 years on, every song has its catchiness and feel. A must-have for any fan of the legendary woman, a necessity in the form of a nice, old school Madonna album.    … Expand

    I must say that I never really paid attention to Madonna until this album. I became a fan when i heard Confessions on a Dance floor. It's great for parties and for just a person dancing in the room. For me, it's the best Madonna album to date.

    Madonna at her absolute best! A faultless album from the Queen of Pop. Easily up there with her best.

    Teach people to stunning original Madonna's music can still be so cool.

    Unbelievably repetitive. It's like hearing the SAME song over and over again for an hour. I guess she's just a singles artist to me. Hung up is a good song.

    Absolutely amazing. Makes you move and want to get up and dance. Such an amazing album from an already exceptional and influential musician. Madonna blows the competition away with her synth pop/dance album.

    Yeah, this album is definitly one of the greatest Electronica/Dance albums of the 2000's. Only "Jump" and "Sorry" are a little "out of key" for me. The rest is excellent. Why the fu** did she change her co-producers and chosed Timbaland for "Hard Candy"?!

    Madonna's an artist I've discovered in the recent years. I'd heard her in Snatch's soundtrack. Also saw her older hits on TV every now and then. I found she had a very lively spirit. I don't like her much nowadays, because she acts way too much like she's meant to be treated like a royalty. True reflexion of what celebrity does to you.

I found a good bunch of songs actually good to listen to, for an artist such as Madonna. Letdowns were the Americanisation song such as New York. As smart as Madonna claims to be, that song just reeked idiocy. Overall, the songs have really good melodies and Madonna shows political tolerance by using many different styles of harmonies in her songs. I think Mirwais probably helped her out on this CD, but Mirwais is a good artist anyways, so props. Buy it, it's worth it. Especially if you like to dance.… Expand

    Madonna returns to form with "Confessions". Next to "Ray of Light" this is her best work.

    Madonna never ceases to amaze me. Ever since 1983, I have thought that the day of Madonna was past, that her next album wouldn't sell, that the next tour would be boring, that she is too old and too rich to be able to reach out to listeners, has tried too many different fads, has pushed every button possible...and every single time, I am wrong. When I listen to her new single, or see Madonna never ceases to amaze me.

When I listen to her new single, or see her new video, I am speechless at her ability to change and present different personas successfully. After 17 official album releases, Madonna is still going stronger than ever with her latest release, Confessions on a Dance Floor.… Expand

    It seems like a strong effort on Madonna's part at fisrt, but the album gradually gets really old. It's decent and the songs are fun to dance to but that's about it. After a while, it's just kind of boring and dull.

    About as repetitive, unoriginal, nonsensical, repetitive as most of Madonna's songs in recent history. A lot of the lyrics are just dumb, everything is incredibly repetitive, and all the songs sound pretty much the same, only barely reaching distinguishable. Also, it's repetitive.

    AMAZING!!! This album had me dancing from the minute I put it on until it was finished.Lets not even get into what an amazing artist and entertainer she is. MADONNA is the greatest and anything she creates is a masterpiece.

    Her best work yet. Really, one of the best pure pop records of all-time. Destined to be a classic.

    One of the few pop singers whose albums are best appreciated in their entirety and not lopped off into "hit singles," Madonna... has succeeded at creating a dance-pop odyssey with an emotional, if not necessarily narrative, arc.

    It may be a return to core values, but there's still a bravery about Confessions on a Dancefloor. It revels in the delights of wilfully plastic dance pop in an era when lesser dance-pop artists - from Rachel Stevens to Price's protege Juliet - are having a desperately thin time of it.

    Disco with a vengeance, a whomping, unapologetically airheaded engine of stroboscopic beats and succulent textures that exhumes dance music's time-honored values of celebration and affirmation. [13 Nov 2005]
