Amazon.co.uk Review
A quintessential 1980s pop artifact, Madonna's third album was a huge musical leap forward and ranks with Like a Prayer and Ray of Light in the top echelon of her works. Only the title track (a bit too obviously a 60s girl-group homage) and the fine-but-nothing-special "Jimmy Jimmy" slightly lower the quality bar. Most of the songs share a jittery dance-pop sound, edgy, distracted, and nerve- jangling but simultaneously invigorating and exhilarating and almost dangerously giddy--a perfect soundtrack for the mid-1980s. Highlights include the hedonist's credo of "Where's the Party", the subtle and pretty Latin pastiche "La Isla Bonita", and, towering above all, three stunning mega-hits. "Papa Don't Preach", with its gorgeous pseudo-classical strings intro, is a sumptuous airwaves banquet, as Madonna wrestles with the have-the-baby-or-give-it-up dilemma (abortion's not in the picture) in newly gritty tones. "Open Your Heart"'s marriage of jitter-pop and wistful melody underscores the singer's yearning but forceful stance ("You better open your heart to me, buster"). And "Live to Tell" is a riveting ballad, lushly melodic yet spare and haunting--a place, as the song says, where beauty lives. --Ken Barnes

I HAVE NEVER LISTENED TO AN ALBUM AS ACCOMPLISHED AS THIS ONE IT IS A GREAT ALBUM FILLED WITH POWERFUL TRACKS AND ARTHOUSE BALLADS ALL OF WHICH YOU CAN MAKE UP A LITTLE JIVE TO/THE REMIXES ARE GREAT TOO.
ALL OF THE SONGS ARE GREAT HERE I JUST CANT PICK HER BEST TRACK FROM THE ALBUM, BUT I DO LOVE-TRUE BLUE, OPEN YOUR HEART, PAPA DONT PREACH, LIVE TO TELL, AND WHITE HEAT.
A GREAT ALBUM AND MY FAVORITE AND JUST AHEAD OF LIKE A PRAYER, THIS IS THE ALBUM THAT MADE HER AN ICON, A GREAT BUY :).
review-
Papa don't Preach-10+/10-fantastic track-bye bye bubblegum pop(one of my faves).
Open your heart-10*+/10-another one of Maddies greatest songs.
White Heat-10/10-very retro(think Dick Tracey/i'm Breathless only better)
Live To Tell-10/10-fantastic ballad.
Where's the party-9/10-a hint of bubblegum pop but not as extreme.
True Blue-10/10-fantastic song and very enjoyable.
La Isla Bonita-10/10-great beat/great song.
Jimmy Jimmy-10/10-a great tribute to James Dean/awesome beat.
Love Makes the world go around-9/10-strangely addictive.
fabulous
Madonna-True Blue March 29, 2008
I would believe that this album was her first masterpiece upon both an artistic and creative level, and that most of the singles on it are timeless classics.
However, a couple of the songs in my opinion are pretty poor, and could have been replaced with better tracks, thus making the whole album a much better one. But still, I would consider it (due to the the great tracks that are on it) her best album out of any of the first three.
My personal ratings:
Papa Don't Preach - 5/5
Open Your Heart - 3/5
White Heat - 3/5
Live To Tell - 5/5
Where's The Party - 4/5
True Blue - 4/5
La Isla Bonita - 5/5
Jimmy Jimmy - 1/5
Love Makes The World Go Round - 2/5

Groundbreaking album of the late 1980's February 20, 2007

I listened to this album at a time when most of the music I listened to was of the Bollywood type.After Like A virgin and Who's that girl, Madonna really managed to make a name for herself. I will never "La Isla Bonita" the day when I was leaving sunny Mauritius for snowy London. Also True Blue and Open Your Heart were good dance tunes,the latter of which was the first remix I heard back in 1986.
Prior to U2 and Enya, it was Madonna who filled the walkman's tunes; Memorable !
