Yes, it's a very risky album with true gems like Bad Girl,
Waiting, Rain, Secret Garden, Where Life Begins, Words & more. It was overshadowed by the scandal of the SEX book and the Body of Evidence movie but it remains one of her best and most different albums. It's nothing alike any of her other albums, it has a very rough grungy dark feeling, like if it was recorded on some shady clandestine basement in New York or L.A.
Whenever you listen to it be sure to read up on this so you can understand it better and get the

A quote:
Quote:
Madonna wanted Erotica to have a raw edge to it, as if it were recorded in an alley at 123rd street in Harlem. She didn't want some light glossy production to permeate her sound. I got back into my usual style of mixing, which is pretty bass oriented, analog, hit-you-over-the head kind of stuff.
When you're recording songs for Madonna, the attitude is: Either make a song work, or it's not going to be on the album. That's that.

it's arguably my favorite Madonna album and it's one of my favorite albums of all time.
