Madonna's much talked about brand new album has been met with very mixed reviews. Critics have been saying that pop veteran has failed to create an album that mathches her previous efforts. However, critics have praised the star for creating a modern pop record.

With some critics saying that she has managed to move with the times with 'MDNA.' However, it is nowhere near as polished as her previous work.

The Guardian gave the album a three star review stating that the album is not quite a disaster, but it is not a return to top form either.

Other critics have said that this album makes you crave the next album. Implying that there are moments of genius on this one but it still does not match up.

'MDNA' is essentially a pop record, it has all the characteristics of a pop album. Regardless of the critics opinions the album is bound to be a success.
