On August 4 2005, Liz Smith talked about Madonna’s then-forthcoming Confession on a Dance Floor album in the New York Post:
Who are the happiest music executives in the land these days? The big guys at Warner Records. All who have heard Madonna’s coming CD, Confessions on a Dance Floor, have been blown away. (Including WR’s movie – star handsome CEO Tom Whalley.) Confessions is entirely a dance – driven pop disc. No message. No ballads. All fun. These days M seems serene as the chatelaine of an English manor, feeding the chickens, riding, tending to her children, etc. (She, her home and her kids are gorgeous in Vogue for August.) But the once – shocking icon can still get into the groove. And she wants her fans to know it. The album hits stores in November.
Do you remember the anticipation for this album? It was a very exciting time to be a Madonna fan!
Today In Madonna History 
I would disagree that COADF has no message. I actually find it to be one of the most introspective of all Madonna’s albums.
I didn’t like Hung Up at all when it came out. Thought it was cheap and tacky. It still wouldn’t even crack my top 50 M songs. But the album itself was an instant wow
Like It or Not-Madonna at her most rebellious and defiant!
