Who cares if its generic? Clearly a lot of people - mostly fans.
I remember the days of Bedtime Stories/ Ray Of Light. Some of the best days of my life. She was on top of everyone - spewing lyrics like 'Oops, didn't know i couldn't talk about sex', really stirring the pot and shpwing everyone that she was the Queen and the backlash of Erotica didn't even phase her.
Fast forward almost 20 years, and this is what she produces.
Seriously? Weak hook 'hey ey ey ey ey....', boring chorus, stupid generic lyrics. Benny has given her some of the worst production of his career (see Kelis' 'Brave' to see how good his production really is).
This isn't Madonna's low point (it was Revolver), but this is going to flop harder than Give Me... Although, if it doesn't flop, I will hold my hands up and say i was wrong.
All is not lost though, William Orbit is sure to have given her 5 great songs on the album - I may just treat MDNA as Madge/Orbit 5 track EP.
Ps. I'm not bashing, I love Madonna - she's one of my favourite artists of all time, but she really isnt an artist anymore. She's a sheep.
