This album is one of my favorites. Madonna takes us on a ride through sex, love, being a bad girl, to losing a friend to aids, to where life begins. She also slams Sean Penn's wife in thief of hearts.
You must buy and listen to this album.

The Title "Erotica" - Madonna (CD 1992)I bought this CD because I like Madonna & her sexy style of music. The only song i wanted to hear was "Rain" which is still just as good as the first time I heard it. The other music is more hip-hop, funk & fun music. I really couldn't get into the other music and like I said I only bought it for one track. "Rain" is one of my favorites as it has feeling close to my heart. Though a great cd, "Like a Virgin" her first would be my most favorite album because she was so hot when she first came out. Oh, yes, the price was right!

Doesn't stand the test of timeI wouldn’t classify myself as a huge Madonna fan, but I’ve always thought she had a great voice and I could always count on her to not to release the same style of music year after year. For me Erotica kind of fell through the cracks and listening to her catalog I noticed that I was missing this release so I decided to purchase it to complete my collection.
The first time a listened to this CD my first impression was overall the CD was a bit long winded. What I mean by this is with only one exception all the songs are over 5 minutes in length. In many cases a song needs to be this long and unfortunately in the case of Erotica most of the songs could easily trim a minute from each track. Since I use iTunes and its rating (1-5 stars) these are my ratings; 1-star (1 song), 2-stars (6 songs), 3-stars (7 songs).
I would say this is not one of my favorite Madonna CD, in fact it is one of the weakest in my opinion. Of the songs I do like would be “Thief of Hearts” which is a nice little dance song but lacks depth and is missing that spark that would make it an excellent song. Perhaps this has more to do with the production of the CD in general. The bass seems to be put too much in the background and thus the CD lacks that punch.
With “Where Life Begins” I had to chuckle the first time I heard it, but must admit the subtle (or sometimes not so) way the sexual nature of the lyrics are very well done.
“Bye Bye Baby” is my favorite song from the album (maybe because it’s under 4 minutes) but also because it stands out from the other songs which along with its nice tempo makes it my pick.

SOMETIMES SEX DOESN'T SELLReview created: 11/11/06(updated 11/26/06)

Madonna surprised her fans and the music industry when she released the Erotica album and it's chuck full of nasty nuts. This soft-porn version of Madonna's idea of sexual adventures really falls short of sensual or sexy. If you like backyard dumpster sex then this is the album for you.
Although this album has the stigma of failure attached to it, Erotica was quite successful and really is a great album- if you get look past the parental advisory (thanks, Tipper Gore.)
Madonna's media blitz, a dirty book called Sex, a dirty movie called Body of evidence and the dirty album,Erotica proved to much for her fans, the American public and the music industry. It was Madonna trying to be sexy. It was Madonna and bondage. And yet we wondered why all this overshadowed her music, we just could't wipe the dirty windows clean of it's grime to see the real music she had created.
Erotica is a great song, Bad Girl evokes pain while placing Madonna into that Good Girl/Bad Girl role. It feels pretty good being bad? Rain, Deeper and Deeper, Bye Bye Baby and Fever hold there own but are very forgettable songs. Most of the album is just that, forgettable and Madonna must be a little regretful of this whole fiasco and the whole sucking on a toe photo. It taught her that sex doesn't always sell,especially when it's fabricated sensuality and sexiness. Madonna, your just not that sexy.....

"Erotica": Not Tonight, Madonna...I Have A HeadacheReview created: 03/05/07

Children, cover your ears. The Demon's about to talk about sex. Although it's safe to say that the American public has loosened up greatly over the past fifteen years or so, any discussion of sex is going to cause it's share of red faces and giggles. When someone, whether it's your friend in a drunken moment of exhibition or a celebrity who believes that their words carry more value than they do, talks freely about sex, they're looked at as freaks, wh*res, abnormalities. By the time "Erotica", Madonna's sixth studio album, arrived in 1992, a lot of folks already knew WAY too much about the...

From writhing around in a wedding dress and cooing Like A Virgin to making out with Jesus in her Like A Prayer video, Madonna s career has pretty much been an ongoing war against Western values regarding sexuality, especially that of women. Never was she more explicit than during the Erotica period, from the sexual topics covered on this album through her metal bound stroke book Sex and disastrous erotic thriller Body of Evidence and boy, did people hate it, as her former fans turned their backs in droves. Turns out, the joke was on them. I find it hard to view Erotica and Sex without a...

It s truly amazing how much an artist as a person can change in just a couple short years. But really, this is something Madonna has always been famous for being able to vastly change her music and image in just the few short years in between her latest albums. She s build her career around going from disco, to pop, rock, dance, R

The music industry is a strange, strange thing. I've been an avid obsessee with it for many years now, and there's some things I've yet to understand. Long ago it was determined that sex sells records. We've seen this proven with the likes of Britney Spears and the Spice Girls. Oddly enough, their mentor had her biggest flop with a hormonal dance album. Of course, I'm talking about Madonna. (You are in a Madonna review, if you hadn't figured that out yet.) Miss Ciccone was the original button pusher: she had everyone talking with her coy Like A Virgin and got the world up in arms over her...

Growing up I never knew that it is cool to like/love/listen to/adore Madonna. She was always there and it seemed like she would always be there. First time I realized that she s actually cool was when I came to the States and my Modern History of Hawai i teacher used to say things like, I want both, your first and your last name on the papers, you re no Madonna or You should follow the dress code, I don t want you to look like Madonna, though she looks way better now than in the 80s . Hmm, fine with me, I never needed to be reminded I m no Madonna. The whole Madonna thing was going parallel...
