This album is one of the best albums I've ever heard. All of the songs on this album are awesome, except "Nobody Knows Me" and "Mother and Father". Madonna has tried a lot of things that I know of: dance/pop, rock, bossa nova (on "Ray of Light"), electronic ("Ray of Light"), jazz (...), and soft rock ("Crazy For You"). This album is very...emotional. The guitars are sometimes the only instruments; it's very basic, plain acoustic melodes (a.k.a. folk). The lyrics rock, and so does the music. "Nothing Fails" is probably the best song of all time. Madonna has outdone herself again!! "Die Another Die" is also a wonderful.
