 Guardian Unlimited Arts | | Madonna: American Life
Bearing in mind that Madonna made the video in February, when even the most hopeful anti-war campaigner must have realised that conflict was inevitable, her decision to withdraw the video seems disingenuous, another attempt to draw attention to herself.
American Life calms down a bit after that, as Madonna stops singing like Bonnie Langford and her lyrics return to more familiar topics.
American Life's best tracks make a mockery of virtually all other current pop music - but those highlights are outweighed by stuff that is indistinct and somehow beneath pop's unassailable queen.

 Amazon.co.uk: American Life: Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Unlike her previous album critics often refer to, "American Life" has it's storyline, a deep emotional plot and subtle twists and subplots (like the latest James Bond jingle "Die Another Day", or the retrospective "Mother and Father"), making it a combination of Music's tunes and Ray of Light's substance.
The first two tracks (and also the first two single releases) are pretty much the extent of Madonna's exploration into American culture on the album and are quite obvious attempts to curry favour with the people of her homeland.
But who really cares- both 'American Life' and 'Hollywood' are fresh, passionate and slightly daring offerings by Madonna- it's very hard to believe there's any new territory left for this unrivalled artist to cover, but she's found it here and admirably makes it her own.

Madonna's "American Life" single is one of the most brilliant songs released in years.
Thus, she drew a direct connection between the lyrical content of the song - which focuses on the lack of a fulfilling "modern life" - and the war.
We've seen, of course, that Madonna is capable of writing intelligent and creative lyrics, and the quality of her craft is such that she's capable of making the deliberate choice to go for stupid cliches, lyrics-wise.

Performed by a vocalist who had recently abandoned the U.S. for the U.K., American Life is an album co-produced by a French techno mastermind, recorded during a time of strife in America, and released just after the country completed a war.
Given that context and given that the vocalist is arguably the biggest star in the world, the title can't help but carry some import, carry the weight of social commentary.
There's a lot that's interesting about American Life -- the half-hearted stabs at politics fall aside, and there are things bubbling in the production that are quite infectious, while the stretch from "Nobody Knows Me" to "X-Static Process" in the middle of the record can be quite moving.
