Review title: irredemable garbage
Product review: Self-absorbed, cynical, horribly contrived, inconvincing posturing: Madonna has done all these before in her career, but very rarely on the same CD. American Life is a truly black eye on her otherwise stellar career, and one I'm sure she'll have problems topping. Her credibility is all but lost after a year of garbage: this album, a horrible first single whose controversial video was pulled, the Gap commercials (what the hell was Missy on??), and the whole Britney scandal. I mean, Madonna, shying away from controversy? Welcome to the 21st century, I guess. And that rap? Like Ed the Sock said, it was trying to be hip, but is the musical equivalent of a soccer mom in stretch pants. Ouch. Garbage.
