ONE OF HER BEST!Review created: 02/07/08
by:
I like EVERYTHING about this cd! It was literally a "Ray of Light" (this album) which shone and broke the backlash of "Sex" and "Erotica" (THOSE TWO ARE ALSO SOME OF HER BEST!) The "Limited Edition" cd (of "Ray of Light") is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL BEYOND WORDS! WIth a 3-D effect that CAN NOT be enjoyed through pictures. I decided to buy this cd because I liked the cover and the fact that it is 1 of a limited 3000 quantities or so released. I didn't get the limited cd, I got a WORK OF ART! This is the great work of an absolutely AMAZING artist! The one, the only, the fabulous Madonna!

Madonnas best work to dateReview created: 08/23/07
by:
In 1998, we didn't know what to expect from Madonna since she had taken such a long break from her career (Last album was Bedtime stories 1994) to focus on her role dream role of Evita and new role as a mother. She came back more spiritual but just as hungry for commercial success. The songs were about her spiritual awakening. They were very personal and at the same time dancy with a new electronic edge that America was just discovering. Straight out of the box, the first single "FROZEN" was a tremendous success. In the UK, they got a unique single from the album called "DROWNED WORLD" which depicted the The follow up single "RAY OF LIGHT" too was a huge hit, released as a video single too and spawned Madonnas most honored song to date. Racking up tons of MTV VMA nominations for best video of the year and winning! She sept the 1998 awards show. Then came the amazingly passionate songs 'POWER OF GOODBYE" followed by "NOTHING REALLY MATTERS". It seemed every song was a hit and catchy and fun.
I would def. recommend this album, if you love music, you'll love RAY OF LIGHT!

I bought this cd because I study Kabbalah and this album is written around the time Madonna started Kabbalah. Since we all live in the on percentile I wanted to try and up my odds. I enjoy this album and my husban took it in the divorce.

My all-time favorite Madonna albumReview created: 09/21/06

It is Madonna's most sincere collection of songs. The songs reflect a mature woman's life and confrontations of living life in our time and reflections on the past and past choices made. It is thoroughly original and a mellow collection.

Since Madonna is releasing her brand new album American Life next week, I decided to review the two predecessors, with Ray Of Light being the start of a new era for Madonna and a new musical style, with Music continuing the trend for her. I m not going to waste my time telling you Madonna s story, I ve talked about her story in previous reviews, and no need to repeat it over and over again. She s a 44 year old woman, and Ray Of Light is her 10th studio album and it was released in 1998, all of the songs were produced by William Orbit. It sold 5 million copies worldwide, and had two #1 hits;...

Madonna Opens Up & Lets A Ray Of Light Shine InReview created: 09/07/02

Madonna, Madge, Mo Mother of reinvention; call her what you want to call her Madonna has single-handedly made herself into an American icon. She is an emblem for power, sexuality even motherhood. Madonna is the perennial chameleon, changing her look more than some people change their underwear. Ray Of Light found Madonna in an enlightened state a visceral goddess whom motherhood had morphed into a sensitive yoga-goer. Ray Of Light produced primarily by Madonna and William Orbit is a look at electric Madonna and one of her best albums to date. - Track Listing - 01. Drowned World/ Substitute..

Madonna, often called the mother of reinvention, came to a crossroads in her career. The woman who made a career of being sexually overt, controversial and often sensational was now a mother. The tides in the pop culture were changing and albums like Erotica and Bedtime Stories were no longer going to really cut it. So what s a material girl to do? Well, in Madonna s case she decided to revamp her sound keeping some elements but reinvigorating her music with new ones. Ditching eroticism for introspection and sexuality for more dynamic roles of women she came back with her Ray of Light album...

See-through attempts at seriousness that just seem smug. Overlong and dull.
See-through attempts at seriousness that just seem smug. Overlong and dull.
Here comes trouble. Just as Like A Prayer through Bedtime Stories showed us that Madonna was capable of balancing her dance sensibilities with more serious topics, Ray of Light represents the moment where she not only overstepped the line, but went ten thousand miles over it. Completely severing the remaining ties with the exuberant, loveable loudmouth of her first three albums, Madonna now wants to be taken completely seriously. It s the stonefaced factor of Love Don t Live Here Anymore times a hundred, and for me, it is not good. I feel that the critics who praised this effort really should.
