On many websites there for a few days the option for about 30 seconds in each song of "Hard Candy," a listen. I'm really very pleasantly surprised what Madonna has created with this album. Although many critics have torn violently here the entire CD is an outstanding album, which has become a typical Madonna album despite or perhaps because Timberland, Timberlake and Pharrel. I see this as a complement to "Confessions on a Dancefloor" that also shows retro sounds and at times reminiscent of Madonna's first album! Conclusion: Thus far, impressions, that this album is innovative and surprising and will delight almost every Madonna fan. My absolute favorites: Devil wouldn`t recognize you, Give it 2 me, Miles Away and Dance 2nite !!!
