It's easier to appreciate now that it's older as we can see how truly progressive it was and how it had some very good music.
I also don't get the hate for "Mother and Father". The chorus is amazing.

American Life wasn't as successful because of Madonna's political statement about the Iraq war, Americans practically disowned her.
It's a really good album, American Life, Hollywood, Die Another Day, X-Static Process, Nothing Fails, those are true gems <3
