Pro Reviews: American Life
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Performed by a vocalist who had recently abandoned the U.S. for the U.K., American Life is an album coproduced by a French techno mastermind, recorded during a time of strife in America, and released just after the country completed a war. Given that context and given that the vocalist is arguably the biggest star in the world, the title can't help but carry some import, carry the weight of social commentary. And it follows through on that promise, sometimes explicitly and sometimes implicitly, but either way, American Life winds up as the first Madonna record with ambitions as serious as a textbook. It plays as somberly as either Like a Prayer or Ray of Light, just as it delves into an insular darkness as deep as Erotica while retaining the club savviness of the brilliant, multicolored Music. This is an odd mixture, particularly when it's infused with a searching, dissatisfied undercurrent and a musical sensibility that is at once desperate and adventurous, pitched halfway between singer/songwriterisms and a skimming of current club culture. It's pulled tight between these two extremes, particularly because the intimate guitarbased songs (and there are a lot of them, almost all beginning with just her and a guitar) are all personal meditations, with the dance songs usually functioning as vehicles for social commentary. Even if the sparer ballads are introspective, they're treated as soundscapes by producer Mirwais, giving them an unsettling eerie quality that is mirrored by the general hollowness of the club songs. There's a lot that's interesting about American Life the halfhearted stabs at politics fall aside, and there are things bubbling in the production that are quite infectious, while the stretch from "Nobody Knows Me" to "XStatic Process" in the middle of the record can be quite moving. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

1: American Life - Its a polemic song, but has good and real lyrics. its not my favorite one on whole cd.
2: Hollyhood: My favorite track on cd and a possible next single. Its a dancable track, you really have to listen it! One of best songs of Madonna since Ray of Light album!
3: Im so stupid - This is a song i didnt like the 1st time i listened it, but now i love it. Its a techno song.
4: Love Profusion - One of my favorites ones on album. Its not dancable and not balad, but its too great.
5: Nobody knows me: The most dancable track on album. If you listen it and dont dance, well, you have to go to doctor!
6: Nothing Fails: A possible next single too. Its the most classic song on cd, but its great, reminds the old Madonna a bit.
7: Intervention: Another potencial single. Its a song similiar to Love Profusion, its great!
8: X-static Process: The most personal song on album. Its a balad, only Madonna and guitar playin
9: Mother and Father: I expected this song was a balad, but it is very dancable,the kind of Nobody knows me.
10: Die Another Day: Its a song not similiar to each other on album, its a isolated song. By the way, its great, great sound
11: Easy Ride: A good way to finish a good album! Its a balad, very great, listen it! ...
