    Tired,cringe and pointlessly overblown. Madame X is a beyond terrible pop latin record that in repect to Madonna's legacy,should've been shelved.

    Sorry but this album is just awful. I appreciate Madonna is exploring her new sound by trying adding some flavors on each track. Not bad for her 14th studio album but this ain't it.

    Boring album full of fillers, overall it doesn’t go anywhere near what we call “ok”.

    It doesn't look and sound like Madonna. Madonna, what happened to you? So sad!

    Madonna remains the great entrepreneur, playing tough, still making her own (right?) business moves and kudos to her for all that - but ever since "Music", her records are mostly a let down; adding to it the unbearable presence of auto-tune, it is just beyond comprehension how a human ear can ever cope listening to anyone filtering through one such utterly dreadful effect.

    The video teaser for "Madame X" was promising, but the moment she presented it with "Medellin" any expectations for this album to be something else were gone instantly. File under turbo-folk. Sadly so.    … Expand

    Cómo reina del pop siempre se espera algo bueno de ella, pero desde el 2008 su música se ha convertido en algo forzado, no se sabe si la reina del pop necesita más dinero o ama de verdad a la música, pero este álbum no representa ningún amor por ella.

    ¿Es enserio que Maluma entra en escena en esta ecuación?, pensaba que esta mujer luchaba por el empoderamiento femenino y chuparle el dedo a este personaje con las letras no es alguien para el calibre de Madonna, me imagino que es un grito desesperado por poder figurar en la actualidad.

    Álbum péssimo. Apenas 2 músicas se salvam! Não sou hater, porém esse álbum não há inovação e nem coerência, totalmente genérico. Por isso dou nota 3!

    Noioso, brutto, mediocre. Uno scempio considerato avanguardia. Madonna pur di tornare rilevante ha scelto di duettare con il peggio del peggio nel campo del reggaetton, non una volta, DUE. Risultato? Uno schifo. ONE TWO CHA CHA CHA AHAHAH

    Wow, how disappointing and sad... She should retire already and let some new artist give her tribute, I mean, she's Madonna, but the album is just terrible.

    Le doy crédito por los visuales y estar ya mayorcita y seguir complaciendo a los fans pero el disco es un desastre de principio a fin! Y la colaboración con Maluma? Dios mío los peores 4 minutos de mi vida.

    Madonna feels, for possibly the first time, way out of her depth here. There's a large amount of Spanish and Portuguese songs on here, but none of it feels very original- or, if it does, it's so soaked in reverb that it sounds like she's singing it in an abandoned auditorium. And her social commentary is just... not great. "Killers Who Are Partying" honestly ruins this entire record. ItMadonna feels, for possibly the first time, way out of her depth here.

And her social commentary is just... not great. "Killers Who Are Partying" honestly ruins this entire record. It just feels like she's trying to connect herself with these cultures and struggles that she's never been a part of. It feels like a 21st century version of Kipling's "White Man's Burden" in some ways, and that is NOT a good thing. Sometimes, you don't need to speak your opinions on every matter.… Expand

    As someone who considered herself a huge former Madonna fan (I own most of her singles from the 80s and 90s on vinyl) I was pleased by the rumor mill whisperings that this latest album, "Madame X" was a comeback of sorts, a return to primo form after nearly a decade of mediocre music releases (following the excellent career-highlight "Confessions on a Dance Floor").

Unfortunately, after a few serious listens to the new Ms. X, I've concluded that it's not only bad and a continuation of Madonna's out-of-touch downward spiral, but it's also entirely cringeworthy and shockingly amateurish. Ridiculous, self-indulgent lyrics and less-than-stellar vocal delivery aren't the only problematic elements, however. The production on the album is also surprisingly "off" and unpolished. Many of the vocals seem as if they are recorded by a cheap laptop mic and - perhaps purposely? - there's a sparseness to the overall sound that feels unfinished and quickly constructed. While some reviewers have lauded this as the best Madonna album in years, all signs (and sounds) point to it being among the worst and most misguided.… Expand

    Are all the exceptionally high scores some kind of joke I'm not in on? Or are they just Madonna fan girls or basing their scores off some nostalgia that I don't understand because I'm only 19? Genuinely confused cause this not a good album at all.

    Listen, I respect that madonna has been in the game for 4 decades and has set a tone but come on....how do people listen to this auto tuned crap? I'm not saying the whole album is horrible but it definitely isn't innovative and it certainly isn't good. No thank you.

    The pace plods on some mid-tempo tracks, but overall this is a personal, politically-charged mix of dark thoughts and good vibes. [Aug 2019, p.88]

    Overall, Madonna’s fourteenth album Madame X feels as if Mirwais had mostly completed a decent run-of-the-mill modern pop record, albeit with a cool hotch-potch global feel; hip nods in place to fado, dub and other micro-genres dunked amongst the trap and retro disco. But then just before sign-off, Herself went through the top-lines with a sharpie. ... None of these carefully curated flourishes feel as if they truly live inside the ‘whole’ of this music. Instead it all feels plonked on top of a template.

    Madonna has created this music for an audience of one: Herself. Often it works. Sometimes it doesn’t.
