    While the album itself seems like it should have been split into two separate albums as it goes from dance to ballad all to frequently, it is an amazing piece of art. The title track sums up what this album is all about. Where Madonna is and how she feels comfortable now in her life and her music.

    I was a bit surprised by this one. Living for Love is a great dance track, retro and modern at the same time. But Rebel Heart is more than just dance tracks. It also has a folksy sound to it at times, and a very personal feel. It reminds me a bit of Music, which is one of my fav albums ever. A couple songs are less than stellar, but overall, I adore this album.

    Uno de los mejores y mas completos trabajos de la ya (larga) carrera de Madonna. Temas bien construidos, buenas letras, variedad, consigue que los escuches disfrutando todas las canciones. Baladas (Heartbreak city, Ghosttown, Inside out), realmente magistrales, dance (Living for love, iconic) por citar solo algunas.
    Un disco imprescindible.

    This is her best album since Confessions On A Dance Floor from 2005! There's so many awesome tracks on this album! After her last album MDNA which just felt like her heart wasn't in it, she bounces back with her 13th Album! There's so many songs that are lyrically strong and have a deep meaning to them. Definitely a return to form for the Queen of Music!

    This album is amazing! It showcases Madonna's strong song writing skills that are always under appreciated and never recognised. This album show the hard and soft sides of Madonna. The rebellious and apologetic business woman that we all know, as well as the softer, loving, more personal side that she keep hidden and protected. This album is a must have.

It is a fitting album that keeps up with the high standard of Madonna's back catalogue. Madonna is so successful that people who are criticising this album are just out to hate her because of who she is, rather than the musical merit of this release.
    Best songs are Devil Pray, Ghosttown, Illuminati, Joan of Arc, HeartBreakCity, Holy Water, Inside Out and Wash All Over Me! This album should be getting universal praise but because it's Madonna it never will!    … Expand

    Best Madonna album since Confessions. Best lyrics since American life. She still knows how to write and produce high quality pop music. Best songs: "Ghosttown" "Devil Pray" "Living for love"

    Some of the best lyrics Madonna ever wrote. True, true pop music jams all the way on this album. Devil pray maybe is one of the best pop songs of the past 5 years

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The best album of Madonna in the decade, one can say that is a perfect album to listen to at any time. Madonna dared, created and changed its feature of the last two albums, did something unique and wondrous. Madonna really is God, lives up to its creation.… Expand

    This is her best album since Confessions On A Dance Floor from 2005. Is very mature, ecletic, modern, acoustic, eletronic, all mixed in one of her best album. The Queen of Pop is back! Long live the Queen!

    This is probably her best album in over a decade. Half anthemic and half emotion filled rawness. Though it may have more than 4 producers, the album is very cohesive and will translate well on stage.

    "Rebel Heart" (Limited Super Deluxe Edition) is by far the best album by Madonna since 2005 "Confessions on a dance floor". No, it's even better than "Confessions"! Every song contains lyrics with deep meaning and emotion. Every track has been produced perfectly. "Rebel Heart" is one of the most intimate Madonna albums. The ballads could have easily be done by The Beatles it's this good! I"Rebel Heart" (Limited Super Deluxe Edition) is by far the best album by Madonna since 2005 "Confessions on a dance floor".

    This is Madonna's best album since "Confessions...". Maybe her best since "Music". The album is mature, honest, strong, but at the same time, there is space for fun and good times. It's everything "Hard Candy" and "MDNA" wish they were. Old and brave Madonna is back, making a new and fresh sound, trying things she never did, without forgetting her Dance Pop and House roots.

    Very intimate and well done album. 100% Madonna in all tracks. The rebel and heart songs mixed together to create an experience where you have to listen to the whole album. It's like a story. It's not a Pop album like we have today where people put a lot of singles together, it's the whole thing making difference.

    Rebel Heart is the best of both Madonna worlds, the sexual persona and the true romantic at heart. A true return to form for Madonna. Long live the Queen of pop.

    Um álbum perfeito, de uma lenda viva chamada Madonna. Rebel Heart deixa todo material de artistas como Beyoncé ou Lady Gaga parecendo insignificantes. 2 bjos para o recalque dos haters.

    Rebel Heart es sin duda alguna uno de los mejores trabajos de Madonna, y eso, es decir mucho; el disco te hace recorrer y encontrar distintos sentimientos de canción a canción, pero sin perder de vista el sentido del álbum, Madonna nos demuestra una vez más porqué es la Reina del Pop y nos entrega por completo su corazón rebelde.

    The revolutionary album, this is one of the best Madonna albums in years!
    I hope an album from these confessions on a dance floor,
    the classic feeling of Madonna all its essence is felt in this album!
    probably the best album of the year.

    Madonna keeps being the pop genius that she has always been, delivering another brilliant album. "Rebel Heart" surely is on the top 5 of her career. Great Madonna era, let's hope she keeps delivering in the years to come.

    It s a great Pop Album with lots of good - great Songs.
    Madonna is back in her classical form.
    Nobody kills it like Madonna is able. There is not one Song I dont like.
    Much much better than her last two Albums.

    Madonna really does pick up her crown and puts it back on her head in this album. I loved Hard Candy and MDNA but they have nothing on Rebel Heart. Such a well written and we'll produced album. I've had it on repeat since I purchased it. Can't wait for the Tour in december

    Rebel Heart leans too steeply into too many trends at once, making it a scattered affair that flashes between drudgery and brilliance.

    Rebel Heart is the first Madonna album for a while that's at least as much for listeners as it is for dancers. Sometimes this shines too hard a light on what she has to say. [Apr 2015, p.88]

    Rebel Heart grows confusing and irreconcilably uneven as it progresses.
