"Across The Sky" has something cool going on with it, but at the same time... meh.

[Lifeline]

MESS I knew it! I just finished listening to "Across The Sky" right before it was revealed

Better than any single Trash Grammy track... I always imagine a Video for this one
Wish it had been a single over Thrown Away...

80. Where's The Party

Host commentary - This song is just a glorious burst of fun. Her euphoric 80s songs just have an air of true joy and euphoria that her dance songs of today are missing. Even her light-hearted albums have an air of sadness about them anymore. This should have been top 50 at least.

Guest commentary
Subomie - Honestly just a solid bop, better than people give it credit for.

Reinvention - I always wondered what the Confessions Tour Music Inferno had lyrics from – now I know. What a bop!

mrmikefern - The only acceptable True Blue album cut. White Feet and Song Makes The World Stand Still could never. So crazy, it's like 3 cracked-out songs in one. And the M-laughing-or-is-it-a-baby-crying-? effect at the end is scary af tbh.

Alongoria13 - Best non single from True Blue but is that really saying much?

[Sanctuary]

ATS is one of those demos that sound so instantly fresh that you have to wonder how trash like Spanish Lesson was picked over it, and that 4 Minutes/D2N were the Timberlake collabs that made the album instead.

Lead single potential tbh. Bye @ y'all.

[Vilppu]

Across the Sky is not only a Hard Candy track but also features Timberlake's vocals so it's kind of impossible to like it.

[conatus]

I was confused why I wasn't listed as a Rebel but apparently I gave it a 1.5.

It can go. Atrocious.

Welp, I prevented it from going higher. It's just that the instrumentals are cool and all but it lacks something to even be considered a song itself, and the vocals are just boring.

[Petty Bourgeoisie]

Ugh MESS at White Feet still being in.

[THEBEASTWITHIN]

Oh, Where's The Party? what a timeless and irresistible bop

L.U.V IT !!!!!!!

[Lifeline]

Where's The Melody won't be missed.

[Vilppu]

I used to like Where's the Party but I never listen to it nowadays.

[conatus]

Is White Heat the last Tu Berculosis track left in? Rightfully so.

[That Bad Eartha]

First 11 of the rate since Did You Do It is out next.

79.

[Sanctuary]

kii @ TuBerculosis being almost punched out of the game though.

Across The Sky, ha death was not in vain.

[Eeveelution]

Fun fact: Where's the Party is her most acclaimed album track.

White Heat is better tho, obvs.

[Petty Bourgeoisie]

[conatus]

As the file is "Revenge.gif", I'll guess Revenge...?

[Nemo]

I used to really not like Where's the Church, but I love it now. Pressed that it is out before so many other other songs that are still in

79. Borrowed Time


Average - 6.773
Album: Rebel Heart
Rank within album: 16th of 36

Hearts (11): HonourableVomit (10): tylerlscwv, THEBEASTWITHIN, ilovemusic432
Rebels (2): conatus

HonourableVomit commentary - This might seem a rather obscure 11, but I was afraid that the girls participating in the rate wouldn't appreciate how important this song is. The Avicii version that leaked is pretty shite, but Blood Diamonds production really elevated it to one of the best on Rebel Heart. It's current, relevant and the words come straight from her heart. It's a pity it doesn't get the praise it deserves, relegated to Super Deluxe bonus track. A stunning song done wrong.

Guest commentary
Quicksand- The demo is far superior.

Subomie - The post-chorus is interesting and I like the verses, but damn if that chorus isn't a let-down

tylerlscwv - This song is just so gorgeous. Ignore Quicksand because the demo is basically trash, but the production of the album version is simply immaculate. It sounds melancholic, but still hopeful which I think is the combo that has produced some of the best Madonna albums. The selfmade sequence of Queen to this to Graffiti Heart is really the perfect way to close out Rebel Heart.
