Review of the Madonna CD Ray of Light

The exceptionally talented Pop artist Madonna has released her CD entitled Ray Of Light. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Madonna fans, and Pop fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Ray Of Light Madonna’s artistic excellence is on full display as Madonna has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be her best work to date.

I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Ray Of Light. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.

If you’re a Madonna fan this is a CD your collection flat cannot be without. In fact, this is one of those CDs that you don’t even have to be a fan of Madonna, or even Pop to know is good. This is just good music. Period.

While the entire album is really very good some of my favorites are track 1 - Drowned World / Substitute For Love, track 6 - Nothing Really Matters, and track 13 - Mer Girl

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 3 - Ray Of Light. Wow!
