5.0 out of 5 stars Madonna + Missy = classic!, 19 April 2003
Well, once again Madonna surprises us with something, erm, different. When I first heard this track I absolutely hated it and thought Madonna had finally become too experimental. She had lost a fan. But then I heard it again and again on the radio and, like many of her songs, it grew on me. OK, so the rap isn't exactly mind-blowing, but it's a laugh if nothing else. However, skip to the Missy Elliot remix and the rap actually sounds quite good! This is without doubt my favourite mix of the track. If you like Missy's other stuff, I'm sure you'll like this version. Her extra rap at the start kicks things off nicely and surprisingly the parts where Madonna sings gel with Missy's reworking. A classic remix - much better than the original and well worth buying for this mix alone. As for the 3rd track, well, it's value for money at being over 10 minutes long but that was the problem - it started to bore me after 6 or so minutes. Not bad, but one for the clubs really.

If you want to buy only one of the 2 CDs available at the moment, I'd recommend this one. The other one featuring remixes by Paul Oakenfold and Felix Da Housecat is good too, but the Oakenfold remix adds little to the original and Felix' version is OK, but not one of his best in my opinion. Good if you like 80s sounds, but not for me. Alternatively, you could wait until 28 April and buy CD3 which has all the remixes on the one CD. Either way, if 'American Life' is supposedly the worst track on her new CD, Madonna's new album should be a classic. Now if only we could get to see that video.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Madonna-American Life, 17 Jul 2003
Once again, Madonna leads the way in individuality and is not afraid to explore new directions in music. Her live performamces of this track are amazing. The album is different to anything out at the monent from any other artist. The song, Mother and Fatheris a track that i cannot wait to hear all the mixes of and i hope this is released as single number three.

5.0 out of 5 stars A killer... as usual !, 30 Mar 2003
Madonna definitely gets better and better... musically, she's way ahead of so many others who keep releasing the same kind of material year in, year out ! Madonna is an artist in the true sense of the word: she's not afraid of taking risks. She's also the living proof that you can be commercially very popular AND make intelligent and sophisticated art (the lyrics are not to be left aside: Madonna's writing is also top quality compared to the low I.Q. stuff you hear on the radio these days !). One last thing: just like "MUSIC", the guy who worked with her on this album (Mirwaïs) is French, and so are the people who designed the CD cover. Good for us !

2.0 out of 5 stars Messy Music-style comeback.
American Life is business as usual for Madonna- as with 2000's mediocre Music it employs the sub-Daft Punk talents of producer Mirwais. Read more
