Any chance this will be the actual cover for the single. It says it may be on Spill It Now, and I certainly would like it to be:

Sydney! *hyperventilates* I am SO THERE!!!!

(please don't break my hard Madonna and change your tour plans!)

back onto the album... must say I was expecting better. That said, there are some brilliant songs on the album, like Miles Away, and Devil Wouldn't Recognise You

I must say 'Ring My Bell' is a dire dissapintment :/

In comparison 'Super Pop' and 'Fighting Spirit' were great additional tracks. Scary.

^haven't heard it yet .. I'm still waiting for my copies to arrive ... all of 'em... lol

I'm still waiting for the leak.... any leak btw?

It's all out. It was released in places today.

really?? even in singapore!?

It's all out as in the whole thing has leaked onto the web.

It's been released in Israel and I'm pretty sure parts of Europe and Ireland. And as it's Saturday there, it's released in Australia :laugh

I looooooove Ring My Bell! <3
I'll try to buy the deluxe edition as well, but for now I'll buy the regular edition, the day is coming! =D~~~~~~~

the album is out ;)

Give It 2 Me = single material. very playful.
Incredible = a bit too long? repeat and repeat
Beat Goes On = totally diff than the previous leaked version. however, I like both. leaked sound like the "album version", the album one sounds like a remix
Dance 2night = a bit like the "Erotic" @ her last tour

The leak for the full album has been out for about 1 week.

Im going to go to my cd shop soon and buy the album :D

OKAY :D, DAVID'S TRIP AROUND THE SHOPPING CENTERS FOR HARD CANDY!!

1- Shop 1
The rack that carried Madonna's HARD CANDY was HALF FULL!!, 3 Different customers asked the shop clerk for the 'Limited Edition', but the shop clerk said, "This is all that our supplier gave us".

2-Shop 2
This store is a little more exclusive than the past one, like the past shop, a fair amount sold already but NO limited editions

3-Shop 3
K-Mart :D, Not many copies sold, no limited edition

4-Shop 4
No Limited edition, Hard Candy rack full lol.

So there you go, Australia is not selling the "Limited Edition".

On my little trip I did buy the regular edition of Hard Candy and I bought Confessions. According to wikipedia, the limited edition will be sold in the Philippines. My Dad lives there and will be popping back in Australia on Tuesday so I'll ask him if it over there D.

I might also import the 'Limited Edition' from HMV JP, because of my member points (3500 yens off next order :D).

Ugh. Hard Candy is awful. :o

Timbaland used to be a GREAT producer, back when he was doing Missy and Aaliyah. His style was unpredictable and unique. But now... it's ALL sounding the same. The only decent song is "Devil Wouldn't Recognize You", for me. It has that "classic" Timbaland vibe which is what I was hoping for. =/

omg, I'm addicted to Ring My Bell!

ring my bell, ring my bell, riiing my bell!

btw can anyone pm me the link to the leak? thank you :)

An ICONer from Ontario just said that they bought Hard Candy at HMV and they received a free 11x17 poster! Go for it Canadians!!! :D

I just listened to it, and so far I only liked two tracks, which were "Miley Away" and "Devel Wouldn't Recognize You". It kinda sounds all the same and I'm a big lover of urban but working with Timbaland has the risk that your song will sound similar to another one he made, yet, I'm sure that guy now officially made it if Madonna came to him. Also, it's not 'full'... it sometimes sounds kinda hallow, as if the arrangers just threw some sounds together.

I'm sure that the 'teenies' might like it (especially since Justin was part of 4 minutes) so even though the album sucks or is really good enough, it will probably sell.

buy it :mischief

but it's not out yet in my country, I think.
I guess I'll have to wait.

I'm addicted to Paul Oakenfold's Remix of "Give It 2 Me" ... pure awesomeness ... so far ... I LOVE THIS ALBUM AND IT's POTENTIAL OF REMIXE'S :::::
