With Survival album begins lyrically and musically very well received (up and down and all around / it's all about survival).
At the beginning of the CD are more the faster songs on the album to find, while gathered at the rear of the slower songs. Human Nature, where it settles with the press, which has been blasphemed pretty nasty about Image during the Erotica album, constitutes a turning point on the album. It is very bass emphasized and bring a wonderful video with him, which is the inner conflict of the song but very good.
Then come for me the clear highlights of the album. Forbidden Love is a beautiful ballad just like the next song Love Tried To Welcome Me, which convinces with Madonna's breathy voice. Sanctuary and Bedtime Story merge into each other and are also absolutely together. Sanctuary is quiet and has in itself no chorus, just verses and is just great. Bedtime Story follows his electronic sounds. It took me a little, has ignited until Bedtime Story, but it's really good sher. The arrangements are very consistent after the familiarization phase and the video for the song is unique!
Finally, Take A Bow comes. After Bedtime Story, a very electronic song, Take A Bow would not quite fit it and acts as if it would be an appendage to the album (similar to Vogue on I'm Breathless). Well, anyway, the ballad is certainly very beautiful and has become Madonna's biggest hit in the US.
Madonna has delivered a relatively quiet album with many good songs here. The album is best suited for relaxing. Although Madonna has not to convince such a good voice like her colleague Kylie Minogue, but she does on this album but with the selected song.
