Madonna's eleventh, and final, studio album for Warner Bros., Hard Candy is a brilliant up-tempo collection that adds a hip-hop beat to the cultural icon's club sensibilities, thanks to collaborations with Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, and Nate "Danja" Hills. Following her previous studio album, 2005's Confessions On A Dance Floor, which debuted #1 and has sold more than 8 million copies around the globe, Hard Candy punctuates the first 25 years of the album career of the most successful female artist in history with a musical exclamation point.

 After two decades, Madonna is still in fine form May 15, 2008

Let me add my voice to the chorus of five-star reviews for Madonna's latest musical effort. She continues to surprise and delight and HARD CANDY is a solid effort: danceable, in step with the times (as only Madge can be), and a slickly-produced winner. It's very rare I buy a CD on which I love every single song...but that's the case here. This is one you'll listen to again and again...it only gets better!

In listening to this CD, I am very happy. Madonna is doing her thing. she did not let us down. Buy it, it is worth it, and it is a party/exercise/sexercise CD. I am a fitness teacher, and I can't wait to play this in my classes. Good Job Baby!!! All of yall!!

 Awful! What was I thinking? May 15, 2008

What a mistake! I should have known from the flat, cliched, and plainly unattractive cover this would be bad. Terrible production, fake sounding ( or maybe they were fake) drums, her vocals were mixed as if in a distant tunnel with those gdawful drums beating the life out of the mix. And the worst lyrics. Cliched and babyish and dull dull dull.
And Madonna herself- I will give her credit, her voice was pretty good but she seemed depressed and lifeless actually. No pizazz or charisma. As if she was going thru the motions knowing she would make even more money than any human really needs, and doing "sigh" one more set of pictures showing her as "That madly sexual creature everyone expects". She has a great body, she can dance as we all know, but that was the ugliest outfit of all time. (I am all for any and all women being creative and beautiful and sexual no matter their ( our) ages, and maybe Madonna thinks she looks great and sexy. To each their own but to ME, I shoulda known. )
This music was just so bland and UN funky, UN soulful and unlistenable.
I am SO glad I also ordered that Marvin Gaye box set.

I have to say that this is my least favorite Madonna album.
Buried under the pointless raps and overdone production and overlong repetition is a really great pop album. But unfortunately the hip-hop fools move in and destroy nearly every song. I like "Miles Away" and "Devil Wouldn't Recognize You" (except for the stupid Boyz II Men type harmony toward the end of the song) and "Voices" (except for Justin Timberlake's silly intro), but other than that, the album falls flat.
Listening to it, I kept wishing that it was just a simple pop album, then it would have been wonderful. "Incredible" is the lightest and bounciest song she's written since "La Isla Bonita," but it's ruined by running too long and collapsing into mindless repetition. Nearly all the songs on this album suffer from too long a running time. Alas.
My favorite of Madge's albums remains Bedtime Stories.

When I first heard sound samples of this CD I thought"dumb." However in a store one day I broke down and bought it for a lark. I heard it all the way through and some of the songs caught my interest. This CD definitley targets the younger set with its hip hop melodies and simple lyrics. No doubt that there are catchy songs here but nothing that will be remembered in six months from now. This CD is truly a flavor of the moment. My favorit song is "Miles Away" which is the most adult oriented song on the album. Other tracks I enjoy are "Incredible" and "Dance tonight." "Spanish Lesson" is easy on the ear as well as "Give it to me." What I don't understand is why some songs suddnely change tempo halfway through? It seems like the engineers snorted a little something and decided to go crazy at the last minute. Madonna says it best in "Give it to me" "Get stupid," and that's what some of the songs sound like. Yeah, I guess it's all right for a night on the floor but anyone who thinks this is true music has got to get his ears checked. So I'll spin it now and again, even sing a long but probably it will fade from my play list in a few months. Try as she might, Modonna will always be remembered for her earlier work which she was actually saying something rather then repeating candy floss lyrics to the beat of eletronic popcorn sound effects.
