I woke up this morning and chose 'American Life'

It was cool that she rehearsed Easy Ride for the Madame X tour. Never performed it though of course

I used to have this fantasy of her performing it with a string quartet on the Jools Holland show as part of the
American Life promo tour

Never happened though of course.

Didn't realize "Hollywood" was so hated. I like all the singles to varying degrees (even beige old "Love Profusion" gets a pass these days), but it definitely lacked the highs of all her other albums to that point. I'd like to see some sort of deluxe treatment for its 20 year anniversary this spring. Are there any outtakes? Not that she'd give us any.

An unreleased solo version of Me Against The Music?
 
The RSD remix EP vinyl is actually very good. The mixes are fantastic and it's an excellent pressing.

Billboard ranked the songs from this album and, in my opinion, got it very wrong.

It's funny how it almost reads like a Lena PH Tracklist in Swedish, particularly Jag är dum och Ingen känner mig.

Behind all the international flair and glamour facade there’s nothing but a basic provincial schlagerdänga.
 
I’ve been all over American Life lately. It really is very good on the whole.

1. Nothing Fails
2. Love Profusion
3. Hollywood
4. Die Another Day
5. Easy Ride
6. Intervention
7. Nobody Knows Me
8. Mother and Father
9. X-Static Process
10.American Life
11.I’m So Stupid

I think even the bottom two are at least a 6 or 7/10 though.

10. Die Another Day 7/10
11. I'm So Stupid 6/10
 
I understand why this song is having a bit of a revival right now, but it's such a weird one to play in a club and then merrily dance/lip sync along to. :D
