As an album, Bedtime Stories is insipid, uninspired, boring and a tedious aural exercise. I know the intention is to do some ballads, but Madge seems to drag her feet vocally and comes across as lackadaisical.Some tracks are pretty tuneless, think Love Tried To Welcome Me and Sanctuary. The album could do with some rigorous editing to whittle down the set to the really catchy ones. And release this as an EP.Two stars for the hits - Secret and Take A Bow. The latter produced by Whats-His-Face.If you do not own this, you may just want to get Celebration which contains these songs.Looking at the brighter side, Bedtime Stories is a great cure for insomnia!
