Madonna decided to release a trip hop album. The result is surprisingly boring, but at least she is trying to evolve her sound.
I expect to recognize nearly every song on a Madonna record, but I was only familiar with "Ray of Light" from this album. I guess this is because these songs aren't as radio friendly as her other hits have been in the past. Maybe trip hop hadn't hit the mainstream America yet, so this was mistaken for revolutionary. But this will sound stale to anybody who was keeping with other trip hop bands at the time, like Portishead for example.
Overall, I thought it was a little dull and too long, but not terrible.
RATING: 3/5
