I just am not one of the fans that can follow Madonna down the trendy dance lane. She may have a good instinct for what trend to follow, but she is simply a less than seductive singer, and it is a pity that she hasn't the pipes to move some of us. All the electronica can not make the difference for me. Ray of light was a rather spiritual type of fantasy play and this one moves further into the "house" mentality. I ronically there are some vocal distortions and effects that seemed to be lifted from Cher's most recent ventures. I must say Cher may be less innovative, but is a more inviting personna.Music? It's up to the listener.
