The true test of any Madonna album is whether the brilliance of\nthe music can overshadow her naff lyrics. When she talks of her\nlove for her children you wanna gag, and when she talks about\npolitics she sounds like a fool. But when she sings of love between\na boy and a girl over sinuous, pulsating electro beats, there are\nfew who do it better. And fortunately for the world, thats all this\nalbum is about. The brilliant single Hung Up her best in years\nopens what is a truly outstanding album from someone who could have\ngot away with nowhere near as much. Breathtakingly good.
