I like Madonna as you know ILJP, and I will defend her as a 'career' artist who became the most iconic female figure in the history of music, but I don't await her new records with the sort of anticipation I do for say Rush or Springsteen or Knopfler or many others. A lot of people on here are going to hate this, and from what I can tell here I'm not about to waste a single key-depression defending it, as it's total and utter crap. It's very contrived from what I can hear and just 80's throwback disco drivel, I doubt there are any musicians playing on there, most of that instrumentation sounds to me like it's coming out of one of those music generator programs you can have on your PC, and that cheerleader song is like the soundtrack to a Barbi-Doll TV commercial, I mean how hideous is that?? Won't be buying it, period. Maybe she's finished as a recording artist, her shows still blow people away, but this is just an embarrassment musically, trouble is she's so powerful as an artist that the people around her are maybe afraid to say to her "this is just terrible" I think the critics will be less worried about telling her, this is going to get panned to death. Thanks for linking to a few tracks before I downloaded it ILJP, I probably owe you a beer for saving me from an entire album of this unholy racket, it maybe the worst thing I heard all year.
! Having said that and reading what you wrote you are spot on based on the tracks you posted. The difference is while you liked three tracks I only found one I liked. The rest were all --> 
IMO and up unto the track I liked "Falling Free" the only cool moment was Nicki Minajs section of "Give me All Your Lovin'" Say what you want about Nicki but she's always the standout in any collaboration she's in. The small section and beat around M.I.Ans section was real cool as well. I find it ironic that Madonna keeps saying "Every record sounds the same" as that sounds like the real problem on here. Madonna still sounds fine on this material but she just sounds like she's on autopilot. That is until "Falling Free' which sounds like it could've been on my favorite album, Ray of Light. That song had a very ethereal almost New Agish vibe I really like. RThe instrumental part in the last third was great! I love Madonnas understated slow paced vocal here that complimented the music. Well, one good track isn't bad!
