Confessions on a dance floor
Confessions on a Dance Floor is the tenth studio album by American singer and songwriter Madonna. It was released on November 9, 2005 by Warner Bros. Records. A complete departure from her previous studio album American Life(2003), the album includes influences of 1970s and 1980s disco, as well as modern-day club music. Initially, she began working with Mirwais Ahmadza for the album, but later felt that their collaboration was not going in the direction she desired. Madonna took her collaboration with Stuart Price who was overviewing her documentary I'm Going to Tell You a Secret. The album was mainly recorded at Price's home-studio where Madonna spent most of her time during the recordings. - WIKIPEDIA
Critic Reviews
Show All-
RollingStone
Confessions on a Dance Floor won’t stand the test of time like her glorious early club hits, but it proves its point.
-
Pitchfork
the songs become, despite Price's inventive and mercurial production, less inviting and less danceable, as if Madonna wants the dance floor all to herself.
-
SLANT
Aside from “Hung Up” and “Sorry,” the insanely catchy second single, this isn’t the mindlessly fun dance album we were promised.
-
BBC
This is the most commercial album Madonna has made in 15 years and it's magic.
-
The Guardian
Dancing queens of every variety should be delighted.
-
ALL MUSIC
she's returning to her roots, namely the discos and clubs where she launched her career in the early '80s.
-
sputnik music
Madonna's tenth studio album is good, with a few tracks that could have been left out of it.
-
SPIN
With its surges and dips, Confessions mimics the rising/falling action of, say, a DJ set, a hit of Ecstasy, or Madonna’s own career.
-
Entertainment
Madonna without the marriage, the children, the British estate? Such is the fantasy world conjured up in Confessions on a Dance Floor.
-
popfection
Designed as a throwback to the disco era, it not only hits it’s nostalgia mark, but simultaneously propelled the industry forward.
-
New York Nightlife
Confessions isn’t really a throwback—it’s too lush for that.
-
Scene Point Blank
This is not a good album, I struggled to find any plus points.

Mark's Record Review
Confessions is a watershed of '70s-stylized glitz and glamour funnelled through today's latest sounds and brought to life with the fearlessly provocative lyrical masterstrokes that come second nature to this exceptional songwriter, sex symbol, and cultural icon. Oh hang on, there's seven other songs on this thing? One sec --OH MY GODPPBBLBLBLGLELELLEEEEAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGHGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

VERY INTROSPECTIVE
Confessions on a Dance Floor was an album that no other popstar could have made.

Cool Hunting
the Queen Chameleon did what she should have done years ago –- create a non-stop, no-breaks-between-songs dance remix album.
