Host commentary - It is basically a Ray of Light song lyrically with Bedtime Stories production which automatically puts it into discography highlight territory. Plus that transition to the title track is incredible. A lot of people with bad taste view Bedtime Stories as a snoozy album, but I actually think it is one of Madonna's most sonically creative efforts. It is experimental, yet cohesive.
Guest commentary Alongoria13 - This song has a straight friendly beat so it's automatically the best album track on BS.
Pandora - I LOVE this track. It’s one of the darkest Madonna tracks out there and the Walt Whitman references are really cute.
Vilppu - After a few slower sensual songs, Sanctuary is definitely Bedtime Stories climax - deep, dark and mysterious five minutes of perfection.
Pandora -One of her darkest anthems + the biblical/Whitman quotes are genius. A Bedtime Stories standout!
Reinvention -sorry Humoresque! Let me not tho.
Subomie - Perfect. Reciting pseudo biblical verses, the strange yet alluring instrumental paired with the perfect transition at the end. Who else?
Reinvention always giving this acclaim to the songs I hate and then giving the songs I love 2s and 3s. What's good?
From all the f@gs here that deleted the perfect, career-defining, boundary pushing, political statement "Candy God" YEARS ago in this rate, you can accept the fact that I'm going to spit on all of ya'll 1999-2016 graves.
Host commentary - A deceptively joyous beat over a song that is actually a grim look at the end of her marriage and the abusive turn it took. But she twists it into something very empowering by the end of the song. How this didn't make top 10 is beyond me. Someone throw some vases at Reinvention.
Guest commentary Mr. Fahrenheit - The single greatest thing to come from Madonna's first marriage
Pandora - Words can’t describe how flawless this gay bop is. ‘The vases fly’ must be the most iconic line she’s ever written!
Lifeline- M's first truly inspired album track tbh. The combination of the sad lyrics with the upbeat melody makes it such an anthem.
Quicksand- The best album track of her career. The fact that the song’s subject matter is so dark but the melody is so happy slays me every single time I listen to itThis deserved a tour performance!
Subomie - Definitely her best lyrics here, and juxtaposed against the sugary instrumental make them cut even more. If you hate this you are legitimately tasteless
Alongoria13- This song has never done anything to me, at all.
basically invalidated the whole rate tbh
