Music

Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we revisit Madonna’s first album of the new millennium, a maximalist dance-pop experiment that made the people come together.

It seems more like a collection of songs than a cohesive album, and it’s an unexpected answer to Ray of Light.
