Review title: Sanctimonious and disappointing
Product review: As a Madonna fan, especially of her last two albums, I was highly anticipating this album. However, I found the cultural criticism misplaced -- the implication that America is far too materialistic is hypocritical when she urges us to buy her album -- not download free mp3's from her CD. Some songs, such as American Life, are occasionally interesting, but, somehow, such as in her 'rap' or being Madonna "unplugged" in several underwhelming acoustic numbers, she embarrasses herself. The reasons why this album is inadequate are not so clear; whether the lyrics are faulty, the music is less than perfect, or Madonna has simply lived so long outside the everyday world of most people she can no longer relate (evidenced by her "three nannies and a chef", etc.) are all viable culprits. Unfortunately, unlike the sonic vistas she took us to in "Ray of Light" and "Music", this album is not nearly as beautiful or as interesting.
