Review title: I really wanted to like this album
Product review: When I listened to this album, I really wanted to like it. I really did. While it's not quite as weak as Erotica, it comes pretty close. This album focuses heavily on the theme of the excesses of modern life; however, the album has too strong of an emphasis on this theme, making Madonna almost as guilty of excess as those she criticizes.American Life suffers from a lack of diveristy in the music. Also, many of the songs seem to get stuck in a groove and never really progress anywhere musically. The song "Nobody Knows Me" felt a lot like a re-hash of "Impressive Instant" (from Madonna's previous album, Music).It just felt like Madonna and Mirwais didn't put forth as much effort as they could have when producing this album. When I listened to the disc, I kept having this "been there, done that" feeling. When Confessions on a Dance Floor came out, I was very relieved to see Madonna move on from heavily relying on Mirwais as a producer.
