It is Madonna - point

One can "MDNA" with a rate and with five stars and both justify with almost the same words, without being unbelievable.
The new album is a technically perfect designer product. From the first refined to the last second thought, effective and surprisingly, one to the cover photos and video clips shiny optimized overall concepts.
The new album has basically not a song that comes over on the seemingly simple yardstick that none described the great Johnny Cash with the sentence: "A really good song you recognize even if he played with a detuned guitar around the campfire is. "

If one such take off the songs from "MDNA", depriving them of all their effects and samples, then probably remain actually not very much.
Only Madonna is not Johnny Cash! And even Bob Dylan! The scale on which to measure Song beads can not be accepted at your leg and you to him, the verdict on the album turns out disastrous.

Madonna is now long but no longer only music, but style icon and their albums, the soundtrack of a current lifestyle, rather than sound-collagen songs, with every album different, so this time too. "MDNA" is powerful and widespread a cheeky-cheerful-tingling atmosphere and of course hovering Madonna's dominance over everything, that certain something that makes it unmistakable, even if it reinvents itself with every new album. In that role she also slips, she is Madonna!

No one would get the idea Johnny Cash or Bob Dylan or even Herbert Grönemeyer on this scale to be measured.
Some are rightly revered as music gods and Madonna is Madonna.

At the evaluation criteria of a solid, safe, comfortable and efficient Volvo station wagon every Ferrari would fail. Only no one would ever think from this perspective to consider a racing car, they fascinate the one and the other can ever do anything with it.
So also "MDNA" is once again sound aesthetic that is a difficult and inspire others to anything abgewinnen the. But that's what makes Madonna larger than life and timeless now.
