I was surprised to find this album particularly shallow in lyrics. The electronica/techno sounds were harsh and irritating as well - much different than the grace and harmony of the Ray of Light album. For anyone who does not own Ray of Light, I highly recommend it. For anyone thinking about purchasing Music, listen to it first - don't purchase it just because it's Madonna. Madonna's Ray of Light is rich in lyrical depth/meaning and filled with a beautiful tapestry of sound. Music, to contrast once again, just doesn't leave a good feeling with its empty lyrics and annoying 'harmony'.
