    This is by far Madonna's greatest album since Ray of Light. An amazing swirl of dance, techno and daft Punk, this album is one throb of a ride. Anyone who can resist the temptation to dance while listening to this, must be made of wood.

    One of my favorite albums of the year. For a dance album it's extremely consistant in terms of how each song is different from the other and there are no weak tracks in the album. I'd only say that Push, Isaac and Sorry are my least favorite songs, but they aren't even half-bad. Favorite tracks include: Jump Get Together Future Lovers I Love New York Forbidden Love

    I was very excited by the idea of a continuous dance mix. Hand it to her to do a dance album when dance is at a low in popularity. As a whole it's pretty good, especially Get Together and Isaac, which surprisingly works. But there are stinkers, especially I Love New York, for instance, the lyrics are so insultingly dumb (and if there's irony there, i don't hear it) that it I was very excited by the idea of a continuous dance mix.

    Madonna outdid herself with this album. She is a genius in re-creating and transforming music and candy coat it to the world. Confessions is by far a solid intelligent album. Move away Mariah and JLo, this girl is all you need to dance and get your senses go wild.

    I honestly love this album, and would say it's one of my favourites by Madonna. Every track is worth listening to and the the songs get darker and darker as you go on the album, which is why the album is named thus. It starts out fun but then as you get more involved, it gets more and more personal. Standouts on the album are "Hung Up", "Forbidden Love", and "Isaac".

    Her best album since 'Ray of Light'. She and Stuart Price (and a couple of tracks by Bloodyshy & Avant and Mirwais) have created a dance-pop masterpiece. It's arranged to perfection, her voice is lush and controlled and Price's production is at it absolute best. It lacks upbeat numbers, but it's an escapist album, full of wonder and gorgeous sounds - almost visual in parts ('Issac').

    RuPaul aside, someone else is goin' back to her roots. "Confessions" got her dancing again and though it's hardly original, she has laid down a few hits to feed contemporary dance pop. And it's more than just a mid-life crisis romp - it bears a certain depth and darkness we never heard before.

    A masterpiece of dance music! Extremely consistant, has some of Madonnas finest lyrics, and is incredibly produced. It's not as easy to digest compared to releases like Ray of Light or Like a Prayer, since it's more of a hardcore dance album, but the beats are so great. It's Madonna's best album, and one of the best albums of all time.

    I confess, not on a dance floor, that this is my favorite Madonna album and one of the best of all time in my view. Sadly, the critics had a bit of a heyday with this album, coming on the heels of one they detested and that did badly by Madonna standards. But I would not be writing this except for Stephen Thomas Erlewien's Rovi critique in which he basically said Madonna had sold out.I confess, not on a dance floor, that this is my favorite Madonna album and one of the best of all time in my view.

    True, the album like so many by Sinatra and Como, sounds like the old Madonna, with a bit of electronics. What is wrong with that?

    In the end, many critics dislike the go-it-alone Madonna, which pokes its head out throughout Erlewine's review. Yet, Madonna, whose performance at the end of her 50s seemed lacking during last night's Grammy Awards, remains an icon of the age and music that matters and mattered so much to advancing individual women. Without her we might not have seen Lady Gaga and Katy Perry. And without her, we would have missed the vibrant scenes that moved so many to branch out.

    "I Like New York" perhaps best demonstrates her views. Listen to it. It's worth the time. Then listen to the rest. Enjoy!    … Expand

    Despite the fact she will never be as she once was, Madonna uses the full force of her talent and production team to bring this instant classic album. Sure to be remembered for years to come.

    Um de seus melhores álbuns, compreendo que algumas letras são meio clichês, mas este álbum foi uma forma de Madonna se libertar e 'relaxar', cativante do início ao fim, destaque pra Sorry e Get Together.

    Confessions On A Dance Floor is certainly one of my favorite Madonna albums. It's an incredibly cohesive collection of dance songs that make you just wanna get up and move (which is especially great for working out). It sort of has an escapist vibe to it, with the songs being nice and long, as if they're remixes being played at a club, but this album still has momentum, making itConfessions On A Dance Floor is certainly one of my favorite Madonna albums.

    One of my favorites by her. It was the last she did something different that the others and that's why it was her last hit album ...we need this Madonna back

    The whole album is brilliant but "Future Lovers" to "Forbidden Love" arc is just out of this world! The best minutes in Madonna's career. Godlike genius.

    Madonna's tenth studio effort is about as catchy and wonderful as dance music gets. Beginning with some of the four strongest tracks ever, Confessions on a Dance Floor is utterly amazing. Opened by one of the best dance tracks of the decade, "Hung Up" is a smart track with a heavy sample of ABBA. "Get Together" adds fuel to the fire with surprisingly perfect clichés and soft beats. SecondMadonna's tenth studio effort is about as catchy and wonderful as dance music gets. Beginning with some of the four strongest tracks ever, Confessions on a Dance Floor is utterly amazing. Opened by one of the best dance tracks of the decade, "Hung Up" is a smart track with a heavy sample of ABBA. "Get Together" adds fuel to the fire with surprisingly perfect clichés and soft beats. Second single "Sorry" is extremely listenable and pays homage to Pet Shop Boys and European-esque music. Ending the 4 is "Future Lovers", a big enough track to be single-worthy. "I Love New York"'s attacking-nature may be a bit much for some, but honestly enough, "Let It Will Be" brings things back up to speed without going overboard. "Forbidden Love" is destined to be on repeat for days, and ironically enough, features a sample from her 1995 track of the same name, "Forbidden Love". The empowering "Jump" is a club showstopper, but lacks the excitement concealed in "Hung Up" and "Sorry". "How High" talks of wealth and potential, which feels like a mockery, a bit reminiscent of her 2003 album, American Life. The religious-inspired, "Isaac" is quite strong for being the so-called "outlier" of the album, but fortunately starts and ends on an extremely strong note. "Push" and "Like It or Not" are similar in style, but differ in lyrics. The former is quite catchy, while the ladder features clichés that were better fitted on "Get Together", but suit well here too. The bonus track, "Fighting Spirit" is also a worthy track.

    "Hung Up" and "Forbidden Love" definitely stand out in this album. Although "I Love New York" may come on a bit too strong, it is most definitely not a bad track.

    Greats:
    - "Hung Up"
    - "Forbidden Love"

    Nadirs:
    - "I Love New York"

    Es el mejor disco Pop Femenino de la década del '00 : "Hung Up", "Sorry" y "Get Together" en mi opinión son las mejores canciones del álbum. Esta producción influenció mucho a futuros albumes como "The Fame" de Lady Gaga y " X" de Kylie Minogue

    This is for sure Madonna's best album in years because she has done an enjoyable but not aggressive electronic album. Its mixing of Dance-Pop, Euro music, Electronic music, Disco and House music with also elements of indie dance in its last tracks makes this album relaxing and danceable at the same time.

    Absolute masterpiece in the club music discography, not only Madonna's. Catchy, timeless, charming beats and melodies intertwined with known samples and meaningful lyrics. You like dance music, you'll love "Confessions on a dance floor".

    "Confessions On A Dance Floor" Madonna - stunning. To be honest, when I started to get acquainted with the Madonna with her album "MDNA" I do not want to hear of her previous albums. I later regretted, because I heard this album. It is so conceptual, soft, passes through me like a waterfall. I really like the song - "Sorry", "Push" "Like it or Not".

    I really like this album, even if at times some tracks appear to be thrown together with DJ mixes to "sound good." I don't think it's her best, that would be Ray of Light. However, the effort put forth into this album as compared to American Life, or Bedtime Stories, certainly proves that it's not all about her image.

    CONFESSIONS ON THE DANCE FLOOR

    Excellent album by Madonna, I recommend this for everyone, it's art after art, something normal in Madonna. Madonna if she brings us pure pop art.

    It is a brilliant disc that lacked very little circulation in the radios and of bad critics where they did not criticize the album if not to the new image of madonna, thus putting to the disc in a bad punctuation, although in some songs the disc decays to a Point where there was no return and forced much to recover that retro disco environment containing the album

    Puede ser un álbum bastante movido para la edad de Madonna en aquellos tiempos, pero no dejo de sorprendernos, para nada. Este es un álbum que marco la era del pop, es un pop totalmente lleno de arte, arte en su máxima expresión.

    One of the few pop singers whose albums are best appreciated in their entirety and not lopped off into "hit singles," Madonna... has succeeded at creating a dance-pop odyssey with an emotional, if not necessarily narrative, arc.

    It may be a return to core values, but there's still a bravery about Confessions on a Dancefloor. It revels in the delights of wilfully plastic dance pop in an era when lesser dance-pop artists - from Rachel Stevens to Price's protege Juliet - are having a desperately thin time of it.

    Disco with a vengeance, a whomping, unapologetically airheaded engine of stroboscopic beats and succulent textures that exhumes dance music's time-honored values of celebration and affirmation. [13 Nov 2005]
