    One of her best works till date. As each song segues into the next and grows on you, you just cannot stop listening to the whole album once you sit down with Hung Up. Each track is amazing, from the 80's love beats in Forbidden Love to the hyperactive Jump. Brilliant stuff!

    utter brilliance! cant fault it in any way. to the negative comments...why is the music never spoke about. it seems people only want to trash the woman no matter what and ignore the actual work. either that or its a dumb statement that reveals that the person doesnt like pop/dance music anyway, so why bother saying anything? get a life

    Wow is the best descriptive word for "Confessions..", Madonna takes us by the jugular and doesn't let go for an hour. In turn sweet, sexy, spiritual, but always thumping and groovy. Standout tracks are Hung Up, Sorry, Jump, How High, Isaac, Push. This woman is so rightfully tagged Queen of Pop, there's a trail of pretenders in her wake, long may she reign!

    After a dismal attempt in American Life, Confessions brings us back to who Madonna is, the maker of great music. I have listened to his album over a hundred times and still cannot get bored. Each time I listen I hear something new. The music is magical and gets me moving. She proves that she can once again defy the odds by making a great album.

    Confessions made another surprise when it debuted at No.1 in nearly 40 various country. Album managed to a massive improvement fro latest album effort American Life. So we oughta wish Madonna this huge success because when U R 47 year-old this is amazing´.

    Madonna never ceases to amaze me. Ever since 1983, I have thought that the day of Madonna was past, that her next album wouldn't sell, that the next tour would be boring, that she is too old and too rich to be able to reach out to listeners, has tried too many different fads, has pushed every button possible...and every single time, I am wrong. When I listen to her new single, or see Madonna never ceases to amaze me.

When I listen to her new single, or see her new video, I am speechless at her ability to change and present different personas successfully. After 17 official album releases, Madonna is still going stronger than ever with her latest release, Confessions on a Dance Floor.… Expand

    This album is brilliant. As amazing as Hung Up is, it does not represent this album...Because it is based on heavy, dark dance beats, with confessional and revealing lyrics - about fame, fortune, love and family...But without any cynicism. Madonna has outdone herself. 12 perfect dance cuts.

    A true return to form only Madonna could pull off. A truly fantastic trance/pop/dance album that shows the pretenders how music is supposed to be made. Another benchmark has been set, one which the copycats will almost certianly fail to better.

    Ignore Ray Of Light, Music and the underrated American Life. This is the return to form for Madonna we've wanted since Bedtime Stories/Like A Prayer. She successfully melds the spirit and candor of Into The Groove with sounds from the future yet, decades old as well. Take Forbiddlen Love, which slyly incorporates the backbeat to 'Holiday'. On 'I Love N.Y', She Ignore Ray Of Light, Music and the underrated American Life. This is the return to form for Madonna we've wanted since Bedtime Stories/Like A Prayer. She successfully melds the spirit and candor of Into The Groove with sounds from the future yet, decades old as well. Take Forbiddlen Love, which slyly incorporates the backbeat to 'Holiday'. On 'I Love N.Y', She sounds as happy to be in the music and in the light as she was when she launched her sound with 'Everybody' over 2 decades ago. The within COADF sound is 'every' Madonna era, rolled into all things. Yet, for all it's bravado, it works; and it works magically. Her best release in years. Screw modern Madonna, if you've wanted the spirit of old, here's your chance. Now get into the groove!… Expand

    This is not nonstop, it falls flat on "I Love New York" and "Issac." I do like the similarities between "Frozen" and the latter. The rest of the album is why I gave it a ten. From the catchy-non stop-move-it-ness of Hung Up, the ryhtms of Get Together, the techno beats on Sorry, the ambience of Future Lovers, the street feel of Like it or Not, the get-readiness of Jump, the cascade of Let This is not nonstop, it falls flat on "I Love New York" and "Issac."

I love her voice, its never sound better, she has such strength in combining love, motives, religion, etc on the Future Disco album "Confessions on a Dance Floor." It blends the past with the present better than anybody could.… Expand

    One of the few pop singers whose albums are best appreciated in their entirety and not lopped off into "hit singles," Madonna... has succeeded at creating a dance-pop odyssey with an emotional, if not necessarily narrative, arc.

    It may be a return to core values, but there's still a bravery about Confessions on a Dancefloor. It revels in the delights of wilfully plastic dance pop in an era when lesser dance-pop artists - from Rachel Stevens to Price's protege Juliet - are having a desperately thin time of it.

    Disco with a vengeance, a whomping, unapologetically airheaded engine of stroboscopic beats and succulent textures that exhumes dance music's time-honored values of celebration and affirmation. [13 Nov 2005]
