Early reactions for Madonna - Confessions II are very positive
Per ATRL
"I'm absolutely floored. Motha really did that. Probably her best album since American Life to be honest. It's a bloody masterpiece. Fragile had me having a nervous breakdown it really hit home for me. For me this album is more Erotica 2.0 than Confessions II. The later half of the record really goes in an incredible musical direction. Very ROL. She really deserves all the accolades. The Grammys better give it up to her because her and Stuart created something truly special."
"Everything is everything I wanted to hear from her in years 🔥😭😍"
"The whole album is a collapse and three quarters whew mamadonna you did it"
"The production is RICH, really amazing! its such a rewarding moment after several messily mixed albums"
"Bring Your Love makes total sense as a single. You can call it generic but all the other songs are too personal or way too "experimental" for the radio. Only Bizarre would work."
"Danceteria should've been the lead single!"
"OMFG , BIZARRE IS OUT OF THIS PLANET , IT'S INCREDIBLE!!!!!!"
"This is giving 85 on Metacritic babes"
"Oh, Warner, the label you are to mother Madonna…. I LOVE how dark and weird she gets in the second half of the album, it's the best part for me. lol. Now THIS is the Madonna I fell in love with and the Madonna that I've always loved. We did it, girls, no more pretending she released a good album. This is VERY VERY good."
"not trying to jump the gun... but this is way more consistent for me than COADF1 is"
"The fact that mother is almost 70 years old and she's still able to deliver such a strong body of work for the girlies who love to dance is so BITCH"
"is this album actually good or is it Madonna fans creaming the dancefloor? - It's actually good, the production is slick and pack an actual punch that I didn't see in the singles, even Love Sensation sounds SO MUCH PUNCHIER and atmospheric, and this is coming from a Little Monster who didn't really like her last 3 albums."
"Pieces of ROL, erotica, American life, confessions I, music without rehashing old ideas. This album is actually a masterpiece. The cool down on the last quarter has such intricate production. LES girl actually made me cry, idk if she's ever sounded quite like this on a track? School is impressive instant's cunty older sister. I'm blown away completely."
