    The entire album is a journey around the world. Every song sounds fresh with musical genres I never expected to be mashed together in such ways as heard in this album. Instant classic!

    A musical masterpiece from the queen. Great sensual message that can not leave the listener's indifferent. Each song combines completely different genres and musical instruments, which makes the album incredibly original. Legendary album from the Queen of Pop Music.

    Most experimental album of her career so far! Must be listened! As Madonna already said: it’s not background music; every song should be accepted as a whole new story. Ballads are especially good this time. Madame X deserves 100 Grammys, but they ignoring her since Hard Candy era. The Academy should change its mind.

    Finally a great Madonna album in about a decade. Feels fresh and brand new. Rebel heart, Mdna, And Hard candy were all great dance music but we’re all chasing trends. In Madame X Madonna finds her mojo again and starts creating trends instead of looking for them.

Um álbum experimental, político, diferente do que escutamos nas rádios e playlists do momento, e plural, que é onde reside sua maior força. God Control, Crazy, Dark Ballet e Future são meus destaques.

Breath of fresh air compared to the same tired boring artists that get played on the radio today but for some silly reason radio stations don’t know good pop music and have a problem with Madonna being 60.

    Madonna had promised us that this album would be an American Life's "successor" and it was successfully fulfilled only with the outstanding track God Control, whose lyrics sound like a national (or global) anthem of the nowdays. I also highlight the intense Extreme Occident and I Don't Search I Find, the 21st century's "Vogue".

    Madame X is surprisingly good. After the releases of MDNA and Rebel heart i was afraid this would be just another EDM or pop music like everybody else is doing, but it turns out to be one of the best albums of her entire carrier. Some of the sounds are very experimental and sound bizarre but never unpleasant. My favorite tracks are Dark Ballet, Crazy and God Control. This is a master pieceMadame X is surprisingly good.

    Madame X is by far and away Madonna's boldest album put forth, and that is saying something from the same artist who released Erotica, American Life and Ray of Light. While I've only had a few days to sit and soak up this album properly my reaction is that this work will define her even more so than Like A Prayer or Ray of Light.

Traditional song structure has been jettisoned in favor of more "stream of conciousness" style songwriting. Production from Mirwais and Mike Dean is thoughtful, nuanced and perfectly accented to the individual mood of each song. The younger generation (Beyonce included) will be studying this one for years to come.… Expand

    Best album for the past decades. Brought out a lot of emotions in me.
    The autotune is a little to digest at first, but as a whole, sonically, it built the tone of the whole album.

    Madonna has stopped chasing charts and instead focused on creating a multilayered, thought provoking package of pop music that mixes different styles, sounds and messages into a perfect combo that you can't get out of your head!

    This should be considered among her greatest albums. Quirky, experimental and bold. Madonna takes us on a global music journey with artfully woven layers of ultra-modern and traditional sounds that carry an urgent message.

    This is her best album this decade, and her most experimental ever. She touches everything from personal issues to world problems in a very intimate and original way. Props to her for using her platform year after year to raise these issues and making people think. Both sonically and lyrically, it's Madonna's doing her best. Love it!

    More than 30 years after, she keeps being experimental, outrageous, sexy and bringing questions and controversy about our society...
    In a world with so much artists doing the same boring thing is good to see Madonna trying new roads on her carreer...Some critcs called Madame X bizarre, if this is bizarre, so bizarre is a good adjective

    Ella nos regala una colección melancólica y experimental de su vida, este disco es todo un viaje y un acierto para ella creando una disrupción del pop en el 2019.

    This is a wild experimental album, full of different sonic surprises. I hope she continues to explore this way, it suits this woman better than reducing herself to fit in with the standard. I'm glad she's owning up to her eccentricity

    Forget about Mdna o rebel heart. Madame X is the real Madonna. A masterpiece of our time.

    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.
