Album Description
Japanese pressing of Madonna's 2008 full-length album includes one bonus track, 'Ring My Bell'. Hard Candy is a brilliant uptempo 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. Hard Candy punctuates the first 25 years of the album career of the most successful female artist in history with a musical exclamation point. 12 tracks..

Madge's new album October 7, 2008
Not a huge Madonna fan in general, but really liked this one. I highly recommend it. Pretty fun to work out to also!!!
 Madonna "Hard Candy" October 7, 2008
Catchy songs including The Billboard Hot 100 TOP TEN Hit "4 minutes" with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, "Give it 2 me" and "The beat goes on" with Kanya West (not a remake of the 1967 Sonny and Cher classic) In the U.S. "Hard Candy" has sold about 648,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan, and many of the songs can be heard during Madonna's "Sticky and Sweet" tour, where she also gets into Politics. Interestingly, In the 2008 Presidential Primary race, Hillary Clinton earned more Votes than any Presidential Primary candidate in the history of America (hillaryclintonforum, The Denver Group)
 Perhaps one of the worst albums ever recorded October 7, 2008

I've been a big Madonna fan since 1983. I was excited, when I bought the album. What a huge disappointment! It seems that Madonna could not wait any longer to fulfill her contractual obligations to Time Warner and in doing so she put out a terrible album.
The heavy beats and over produced music makes drowns out her already thin and weak voice. Her singing sounds empty and lifeless. The lyrics are cliched; Madonna, we've been there and done that with you already. Forwarding within and between songs hoping to find a decent song is not possible; each song sounds has the same annoying and awful beats and music. Hard Candy is one of the worst CDs I own. It's a shame that at this point in her 25-year career Madonna put out her worst album. She jumped the shark!
Synthy, poppy, groovy October 2, 2008

People might think this is Madonna's attempt at a hip hop album because of '4 Minutes', but this CD offers a huge array of sound. The urban producers who Madonna brought in to make this project actually manupulated their sound toward her style, and it works great! There are a lot of hot beats and synths in this album, and Madonna always sings a fun melody. My favourite tracks are Give it 2 me, Miles Away, Heartbeat, Incredible, Beat Goes On, Dance 2night, Devil Wouldn't Recgonize you, and Voices... excellent work again Madonna!
Not bad for a 50 year old. October 2, 2008

Madonna's new cd is a combination of old and new sounds. My favorite songs on this cd are incredible and give it to me. I'm a die hard Madonna fan, but this cd isn't quite five star worthy.
