    Well this was a pleasant surprise ! Despite some let downs like 'I Love New York' or 'Future Lovers', there are many highlights especially at the start of the project. 'Sorry' and 'Forbidden Love' both are hidden gems that I can't get enough. It appears as a great album to listen to during sport sessions.
    The crescendo structures are really nice even if some transitions totally lack consistence and break the powerful side of the effort. Madonna's vocals are really interesting in their constancy. A must-listen to if you enjoy electro-pop with female vocals.
    I do know where Róisín Murphy gets her influences now.    … Expand

    One ofnher best releases in her later years post her commercial peak. Through investing itself in the hot sweaty depths of the dance floor it unfolds like a fun rhythmic testimony t9 letting go. This is not a masterpiece but it doesn't need to be.

    Need we say more? The Bible for the pop dance music. The highest selling female album WW in 2005, the highest-selling single in 2005 (hung up), the highest grossing tour, and the highest paid female artist, Madonna did that in the THIRD decade of her career.

    It's one of two Madonna's magnum opuses, with the second one being 'Ray of Light' (1998). While 'Ray of Light' is more down-to-earth, beautiful sounding record, 'Confessions on a Dance Floor' are living to its title - with killer lyrics (confessions) to really groovy dance music! It's one of the best concept albums out there!
    The amount of clasics here is undeniable - "Hung Up", "Sorry"    It's one of two Madonna's magnum opuses, with the second one being 'Ray of Light' (1998).

It's one of the best concept albums out there!
    The amount of clasics here is undeniable - "Hung Up", "Sorry" are at album's begining, sandwiching "Get Together". "Hung Up" is riding 70's disco and even though it's long (it runs for more than 5 mins), it's enjoyable all the way through. Lyrics here are less important, because that groove is simple unstoppable. Unlike the second track, which of course features pretty nice production, but words here are more important - wanting love. Lyrically, it's weird that it's followed by "Sorry", but hey - at least that song rules sonically. You can forget about lyrics and lose yourself to it and just dance!
    "Future Lovers" is really artsy track, while "I Love New York" is dorky. Another song that you can lose yourself into is "Let it Will Be", so infectious. "Forbidden Love" (another in Madonna's discography) has really cool retro athmosphere, and it aged like a fine wine! "Jump" is similar to "Get Together", with bigger emphasis on its lyrics, but groove here is pretty sweet too! "How High" seems like a good progression from "Jump" on title-level, while in "Issac" it's really hard to not lose yourself into Madonna's "mmms" - so lovely. "Push" is straight-forward acknowledgement of that other people are needed in our lives, while "Like it Or Not" is quite different - much subdued + it's like a middle finger to haters, more dance-y "Human Nature" (1995) if you will.
    Album's bonus tracks are good too - especially "Super Pop". Even though is the "list" type of song, it's pretty enjoyable, while "Fighting Spirit" can be hard to like for someone who doesn't enjoy auto-tune.    … Expand

    Arguably one of her best bodies of work. It's impressive how this album inspired so many others to come, just like Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa, for an example. Overall, it is a very good dance album, not to mention having one of the biggest hits of the 00's: Hung Up.

    "Confessions on a Dancefloor" is one of the greatest comebacks of all time. It was released two years after its underrated predecessor "American Life", which underperformed for Madonna's standards. While "American Life" discussed the American Dream and materialism, Madonna decided to make a less serious album with "Confessions on a Dancefloor". Instead, she created one of the best dance"Confessions on a Dancefloor" is one of the greatest comebacks of all time.

While "American Life" discussed the American Dream and materialism, Madonna decided to make a less serious album with "Confessions on a Dancefloor". Instead, she created one of the best dance albums of all time. Its iconic lead single "Hung Up" remains one of the best uses of a sample ever. That ABBA sample is pure genius. I don’t need to say much about the song itself. Everyone knows it, everyone loves it. A classic.
    The album's second single "Sorry" is my favorite track on the album. You just have to dance when that one comes on. Another highlight is "Forbidden Love". Madonna had already released a song with that name 10 years prior on "Bedtime Stories" but this one is the superior song by far. It's more of a midtempo song and it’s just beautiful.
    "Isaac" kind of reminds me of Madonna's magnum opus "Ray of Light". It’s an incredible, hypnotic track.
    "Like It or Not" is a great closing track for the album, which talks about the crossroads of past, present and future. The album gets a little silly with "I Love New York" but even that song is great and has an incredible production. This album is a masterpiece and it’s remarkable how Madonna managed to pull off such a successful era and such an outstanding album 23 years into her career. I love how all the songs blend into each other. Madonna proved once again that she’s the Queen of Pop with this masterpiece and this album's impact can still be felt today, just look at Dua Lipa's "Future Nostalgia" album. Another timeless and influential record in Madonna's legendary repertoire.

    The best album by Madonna in this century (and in her career, at least in my mind)! Any of songs are dance jams, that you can dance til today! "Sorry" is just an adictive piece of song btw.

    Альбом считается "лучшим" в карьере многими людьми, однако он, как по мне, немного переоценен и ставить его в ряд "Like A Prayer" и "Ray Of Light" просто неуместно, однако диско звучание, к которому она вернулась вернуло ее на олимп успеха. Шедевральные синглы, но много средних треков, которые не имеют никакого веса.Альбом считается "лучшим" в карьере многими людьми, однако он, как по мне, немного переоценен и ставить его в ряд "Like A Prayer" и "Ray Of Light" просто неуместно, однако диско звучание, к которому она вернулась вернуло ее на олимп успеха.

    Her best album since 'Ray of Light'. She and Stuart Price (and a couple of tracks by Bloodyshy & Avant and Mirwais) have created a dance-pop masterpiece. It's arranged to perfection, her voice is lush and controlled and Price's production is at it absolute best. It lacks upbeat numbers, but it's an escapist album, full of wonder and gorgeous sounds - almost visual in parts ('Issac').

    I really like this album, even if at times some tracks appear to be thrown together with DJ mixes to "sound good." I don't think it's her best, that would be Ray of Light. However, the effort put forth into this album as compared to American Life, or Bedtime Stories, certainly proves that it's not all about her image.

    Speechless. Spellbound. Amazed. Honestly, I am 17, and I never in my wildest dreams expected a 48 year old popstar to make probably the best, the most breathtaking, the most stunning dance-pop album ever. The album is beyond excellent. Lyrically great, musically and production wise on a whole different level. Hate to admit it, but no artist can pull an album this mind-blowing past 40. OneSpeechless.

    This is for sure Madonna's best album in years because she has done an enjoyable but not aggressive electronic album. Its mixing of Dance-Pop, Euro music, Electronic music, Disco and House music with also elements of indie dance in its last tracks makes this album relaxing and danceable at the same time.

    Es el mejor disco Pop Femenino de la década del '00 : "Hung Up", "Sorry" y "Get Together" en mi opinión son las mejores canciones del álbum. Esta producción influenció mucho a futuros albumes como "The Fame" de Lady Gaga y " X" de Kylie Minogue

    Confessions on a Dance Floor is certainly one the best Pop albums of all time. Songs like "Hung Up" and "Sorry" are stunning. With the dance beats, disco atmosphere and her magical voice; she commands her listeners.

    Madonna's tenth studio effort is about as catchy and wonderful as dance music gets. Beginning with some of the four strongest tracks ever, Confessions on a Dance Floor is utterly amazing. Opened by one of the best dance tracks of the decade, "Hung Up" is a smart track with a heavy sample of ABBA. "Get Together" adds fuel to the fire with surprisingly perfect clichés and soft beats.

Opened by one of the best dance tracks of the decade, "Hung Up" is a smart track with a heavy sample of ABBA. "Get Together" adds fuel to the fire with surprisingly perfect clichés and soft beats. Second single "Sorry" is extremely listenable and pays homage to Pet Shop Boys and European-esque music. Ending the 4 is "Future Lovers", a big enough track to be single-worthy. "I Love New York"'s attacking-nature may be a bit much for some, but honestly enough, "Let It Will Be" brings things back up to speed without going overboard. "Forbidden Love" is destined to be on repeat for days, and ironically enough, features a sample from her 1995 track of the same name, "Forbidden Love". The empowering "Jump" is a club showstopper, but lacks the excitement concealed in "Hung Up" and "Sorry". "How High" talks of wealth and potential, which feels like a mockery, a bit reminiscent of her 2003 album, American Life. The religious-inspired, "Isaac" is quite strong for being the so-called "outlier" of the album, but fortunately starts and ends on an extremely strong note. "Push" and "Like It or Not" are similar in style, but differ in lyrics. The former is quite catchy, while the ladder features clichés that were better fitted on "Get Together", but suit well here too. The bonus track, "Fighting Spirit" is also a worthy track.

    "Hung Up" and "Forbidden Love" definitely stand out in this album. Although "I Love New York" may come on a bit too strong, it is most definitely not a bad track.

    Greats:
    - "Hung Up"
    - "Forbidden Love"

    I confess, not on a dance floor, that this is my favorite Madonna album and one of the best of all time in my view. Sadly, the critics had a bit of a heyday with this album, coming on the heels of one they detested and that did badly by Madonna standards. But I would not be writing this except for Stephen Thomas Erlewien's Rovi critique in which he basically said Madonna had sold out.I confess, not on a dance floor, that this is my favorite Madonna album and one of the best of all time in my view.

    True, the album like so many by Sinatra and Como, sounds like the old Madonna, with a bit of electronics. What is wrong with that?

    In the end, many critics dislike the go-it-alone Madonna, which pokes its head out throughout Erlewine's review. Yet, Madonna, whose performance at the end of her 50s seemed lacking during last night's Grammy Awards, remains an icon of the age and music that matters and mattered so much to advancing individual women. Without her we might not have seen Lady Gaga and Katy Perry. And without her, we would have missed the vibrant scenes that moved so many to branch out.

    "I Like New York" perhaps best demonstrates her views. Listen to it. It's worth the time. Then listen to the rest. Enjoy!    … Expand

    A masterpiece of dance music! Extremely consistant, has some of Madonnas finest lyrics, and is incredibly produced. It's not as easy to digest compared to releases like Ray of Light or Like a Prayer, since it's more of a hardcore dance album, but the beats are so great. It's Madonna's best album, and one of the best albums of all time.

    this albums is a huge success!
    one of the best albums and the best dance album of the 00's

    Madonna went back to her roots and once again returned to the top!

    what i love about this album is the 70's disco vibes from The pet shop boys, Donna summer, John Travolta etc. etc.

    RuPaul aside, someone else is goin' back to her roots. "Confessions" got her dancing again and though it's hardly original, she has laid down a few hits to feed contemporary dance pop. And it's more than just a mid-life crisis romp - it bears a certain depth and darkness we never heard before.

    I honestly love this album, and would say it's one of my favourites by Madonna. Every track is worth listening to and the the songs get darker and darker as you go on the album, which is why the album is named thus. It starts out fun but then as you get more involved, it gets more and more personal. Standouts on the album are "Hung Up", "Forbidden Love", and "Isaac".

    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.
