Madonna's eleventh, and final, studio album for Warner Bros., Hard Candy is a brilliant up-tempo collection that adds a hip-hop beat to the cultural icon's club sensibilities, thanks to collaborations with Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, and Nate "Danja" Hills. Following her previous studio album, 2005's Confessions On A Dance Floor, which debuted #1 and has sold more than 8 million copies around the globe, Hard Candy punctuates the first 25 years of the album career of the most successful female artist in history with a musical exclamation point.

 worst ever! May 13, 2008
i cannot be more disappointed. i'm a HUGE madonna fan, but this really sucks. save your money and DON"T BUY IT! there is only one decent track (#11) which i could have down-loaded for 99 cents.

This is a fun and rewarding listen. No overly histrionic vocal performances here but a fun and engaging listen nonetheless. Manages to tread new territory but combining the new sound with an unmistakably old school Madonna flavor so as not to alienate the faithful. All hail!
p.s. she's coming to san diego!! wewt.
Back to the 'first album' vibe May 13, 2008

You can't expect another 'Confessions' by Madonna. She's never done the same sound twice. This time she went for the sure thing and, boy, she delivers. An army of four: Madonna, Timbaland, Justin and Pharrell spawns this hyperpop thing that is impossible to escape. The problem for most people is that it grabs too much of Furtado and Stefani, but actually those two girls borrow a lot from Madonna's pop approach in the early eighties. Stefani's been called the 'watered down Madonna'. So the queen of pop can't go wrong on her own field.
Hard Candy lacks the hypnotic aura from her previous 'Confessions' and 'Music', and instead falls into pure hip-hopvselectro ground. This CD is totally danceable and dumb. There are some more mature tracks like Devil Wouldn't Recognize You and Voices, but the drive is mainly the dance floor and the sing along crowd.
Yeah, it is like Gwen and Furtado on steroids. Madonna did it better. And that's a fact.
Stand out tracks: 'Heartbeat', 'Incredible', 'Give it 2 Me', 'Candy Shop' and 'Beat Goes On'. Purely infectious aggro rythms. Awesome way to end a legacy at Warner.

Granted, this CD isn't an extension of "Confessions", it still has Madonna's style to it. Although "Confessions" was a reintroduction to the times of her more youthful self, this album definately speaks to the control and enlightenment Madonna has gained over the years. Many people have bashed the album stating that it is her worst in years, but there are many tracks that are one surprise after another, and I think that in time people will grow to appreciate the album for what it is.
Bring back the OLD Madonna! May 13, 2008

I loved Madonna's previous CDs but this one is a HUGE disappointment! It sounds like she just didn't care at all this time around. As though she recorded her vocals in LA and then someone on the other side of the world made a bunch of beats and just mashed them together. Also calling the album "Hard Candy" and posing in wrestling attire? Not hot in the slightest. She lost it with this album and she definitely will be losing a lot of fans too.
