Sanctuary

I can't believe we live in a reality where Madonna ft. Kylie actually exists. Everyone say thank you Stuart Price.

Remember when she had legit hype years ago? No political instincts whatsoever.

I feel like M mostly wanted to focus on the "Heart" aspect of RH. The majority of the "Rebel" tracks are bland as hell. The writing camp influence is so strong on those songs.

I always thought Queen would have been a fine replacement for...any of the super deluxe RH tracks honestly. Wasn't it even included on the track list until the last minute?

RH is basically a mixtape, you can tell a lot of it was left unfinished and quickly tied up when the demos leaked. It's interesting when you view it as the unfiltered and somewhat chaotic mood board of an aging Pop icon trying to adjust to a quickly changing industry.

CII is great and her best album in decades, but I don't want to see her messier albums paid dust These bops will NOT be forgotten!

Games like this and Avatar High had such a chokehold on me in the early 00s. 😭 I distinctly remember having an e-girlfriend and getting my first account hacked in a free furni scam. Good times.

My favorite moment of the album. Fragile -> L.E.S Girl is an all-time run.

Almost going gold in ~3 weeks is pretty good in 2026, right? I haven't really kept up with numbers* since like the MDNA era. *:

I could see AOC wringing an early endorsement from Schumer & Co. in exchange for letting him keep his seat in 2028 tbh.

The 2028 slate is such a nightmare blunt rotation so far It's actually kind of shockingly bad. I don't think I've seen a modern political party be so openly obtuse and resistant to change as the modern DNC. As someone who watered down their politics to be a Warren/Pete liberal in 2020 and an honorary KHive in 2024, I don't think I have it in me again

Love Shania, but she's definitely Country-Pop. That being said, artists like Taylor (!), Kacey, etc. who have/had even the slightest appeal globally have Shania to thank. The blueprint.

I like it, it appropriately fits the chaos of Everything and foreshadows what's to come way later on the album. An artist! I still don't really care for the pitched vocal bridge in Fragile. It sounds kind of corny.

What is the track (or tracks) from any of your faves' albums that best embodies the aesthetic of the album cover? Not the best song, not the most successful, but the song that fits the album cover vibe the best. Examples: Love Without Words - Madonna - Confessions II Perfect Celebrity - Lady Gaga - Mayhem LEVII'S JEANS - Beyonce - Cowboy Carter
