highly recommended

Japanese pressing of Madonna's 2008 full-length album includes one bonus track, 'Ring My Bell'. Hard Candy is a brilliant uptempo collection that adds a hip-hop beat to the cultural icon's club sensibilities, thanks to collaborations with Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, and Nate "Danja" Hills. Hard Candy punctuates the first 25 years of the album career of the most successful female artist in history with a musical exclamation point. 12 tracks..

Hard Candy 3 LP Vinyl with CD

Beautiful item for serious Madonna collectors. It differs from the UK version in the colouring of the vinyls. This US version has a marbling effect on two of the vinyls (one pink, one turquoise) making them look like candy. In the UK version the two coloured vinyls are just plain pink and turquoise. In both sets the third vinyl is black and the CD is the same as the mainstream CD. I figure this US version will become the one that's hard to get hold of.

SMELLS LIKE CANDY

this item is really good. especially the candy coloured vinyl. for any fan of madonna this is a must have. at first i hesitated to order it because of the silliness of the cover. All my other vinyls have quite dark and strong covers like the black parade is dead or pretty odd but this is somethign else. this is the Lp record you are gonna put on and loose yourself.

Fair and unbalanced

There's one thing you can count on with Madonna - there's new music always coming down the pipeline, and every CD is different. This one isn't going to be one for the ages.

Overall, it's a decent album. It's not anything revolutionary or an attempt to kick the industry in the behind, like "Confessions..." and "Ray of Light" were. But it's different from the last, in style and tempo, so she's holding true to form.

"4 Minutes" didn't seem to get as much top 40 fanfare as I thought and that might have been a sign that the entire album isn't going to be well received. "Give it to me" is the follow-up which hasn't had much, if any, airplay.

The album starts strong with a goodie in "Candyshop" which is followed by "4 minutes" which is still decent after 200 listens. The first half of tracks are all very good. It should have stopped at an EP. The second half I would consider "filler songs" and just don't seem to be really good.

Overall, I guess it's average. Some good, some bad. Every Madonna listener has already bought it and is going to the next concert tour. You just have to decide whether you can live with half an album or wait until the next one.

4 minutes is the highlight

I really like the song "4 Minutes" but the rest of the songs are only so so. I was disappointed in this one. I normally like Madonna's work. She and Justin Timberlake save the entire album with 4 Minutes, though. I'd recommend buying the single song and not wasting the money on the rest.
