Madonna, said she was bored while living in Portugal and I guess she wanted to share that boredom with the rest of the world, so we have "Ma dum" X! This offering as a whole feels lost, disjointed and uninspired. Madonna is too self aware, preachy and whiny. Even the lighter more upbeat songs stylized in house and disco feel old and out dated. There is very little life or energy in this album and that makes me sad. How did Madonna go from a Rebel without any F''ks to give to a sad self pitying victim. Let's hope she pulls her head out of her ass for the next LP...!?!
