Madonna's Albums Chronologically Reviewed
Part Six: I'm Breathless
 



PERFECTION STARTS HERE. There are few things in this world I like better than I'm Breathless. Two of those things include the Evita soundtrack and Erotica, but we'll get to those later on in the week.

1. He's A Man
'Waging a war between good and evil can be a bore'
The best Bond theme that was never used as one. But worry not, because it didn't go to waste in Dick Tracy. Because, you know, the movie and soundtrack were both big hits.


2. Sooner Or Later
'Baby it's time that you faced it I always get my man'
Laying it down with an old school jazz groove. Brilliant.


3. Hanky Panky
'I don't want you to thank me, you can just...spank me'
A MASTERPIECE.


4. I'm Going Bananas
'I'm going bananas'
Unfortunately, I have to give this the title of Worst Madonna Song Ever. I can't even enjoy it for it's comedy value. Because I can't really find any.
[No Dogs]

5. Cry Baby
'If I turn out like him I think I'm gonna...cry, baby'
I think I like this more than it deserves me to. It's pretty bad really...but, heck, I think it's pretty hilarious.


6. Something To Remember
'I had all my bets laid out on you, set your stakes too high your bound to lose'
A very nice ballad, which went on to become the title of the best thing Madonna's ever done. But we're not up to that yet.


7. Back In Business
'When I want something done, I say it with a gun'
ANOTHER MASTERPIECE.


8. More
'Each possession you possess, helps your spirit to soar'
Hello show tunes. ANOTHER masterpiece?


9. What Can You Lose
'Why keep concealing, everything you're feeling'
Is this with Warren Beatty? I don't even know. It's a bonza enough ballad though, I guess.


10. Now I'm Following You (Part 1)
'Let's dance, you can do a little 2-step'
Is this with Warren Beatty? I don't even know. I guess it's OK, but I do ten to skip it.


11. Now I'm Following You (Part 2)
'What about, Dick Tracy?'
Is this with Warren Beatty? I still don't know. This is just a modern remix of part one, with some...philosophical quotes mixed in. Weird.


12. Vogue
'It's called a dance floor, and here's what it's for.'
Yes, this does fit in perfectly with the rest of the album and wasn't just tacked on the end at all. Another masterpiece though.
