 Not Madonna's greatest achievement September 8, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
The "Mother Of Reinvention" reinvented herself noticeably for this album, but unfortunately it just doesn't work in this case. Not that it's completely worthless (the title track, the beautiful "The Power Of Goodbye" and "Little Star" are worth hearing), but this overlong album is largely uncharacteristic for Madonna, lacking the all-out feelgoodness of her 1st 2 albums and the robust maturity of ones like "True Blue" and "Like A Prayer." Her average singing ability is not at its best here, much of the album is rather bland both lyrically and melodically, and it's filled with too many weird techno sounds that make it even more strange.

Forever a fan. I still have the "Ray of Light" cassette tape I bought in 98', along with the ROL CD and of course a few single remixes from this album. Timeless and classic. Every single song on this CD stands out on its own merit and artistic value. Each song blends and molds perfectly for what I consider to be her greatest masterpiece so far.
For ten years now I have been listening to this CD and not once have I got bored or tired of it. Each play is like hearing it for the first time and falling in love with it all over again. The videos that accompanied the songs from this album only highlight how "full on" in harmony she was for this entire project. Everything was as it should be. And it glowed radiantly, still does.
With the release of her latest album, Hard Candy, which I was less than pleased with, what a comforting gem Ray of Light has been as it showcases her true talent in all its glory.

i didnt really think that i would enjoy this cd even though i really enjoyed "Ray of Light" as a song. But i was seriously wrong and minus maybe one misstep on the cd the rest of "Ray of Light" is one of my favorite Madonna cds (at least of the 3 that i have so far). Madonna really does her thing on this cd both writing and singing as well which in my opinion hasn't always been one of her strong suits. Nothing against it though just something i've noticed before.
But none of that is a problem this time around and its no wonder the cd has done so well. It has a diverse, unique yet familiar sound that will draw folks to it and keep them there throughout. So forget what you've though about her music in the past with Ray of Light, Madonna is making a statement with this one and its one that should be heard by any and everyone that enjoys music, period. Its pop, electronica and a few other things mixed in creating one of my favorite albums of that time and now.
Very sentimental CD June 12, 2008

I heard this album years ago, but lost some of my collection of CDs which I had this stored. After listening to this CD again, I recall how hot Ray of Light is. The remixes of some of the songs on this album are brilliant, and those are the ones I did not lose. : )
