A track-by-track review of Madonna's new album MDNA.

Powered by automated translation

1. Girl Gone Wild: Benny Benassi-produced electro-pop thumper that gets better the more (and louder) you play it.

2. Gang Bang: Throbbing electronic romp on which Madonna plays a wronged woman out for revenge: "Bang bang, shot you dead!"

3. I'm Addicted: Catchy club tune that's like a post-Guetta take on her mid-Noughties work Confessions on a Dance Floor.

4. Turn Up the Radio: Infectious paean to escapism that recalls her 2006 hit Get Together. This should have been MDNA's lead single.

5. Give Me All Your Luvin' feat. Nicki Minaj & M.I.A: The actual lead single, as performed at the Super Bowl, is a lighter pop morsel than most on the album.

6. Some Girls: "I'd never wanna be like some girls," Madonna sings on this vocodered electro tune that's as sinewy as her gym-toned arms.

7. Superstar: On which she compares her new boyfriend to Marlon Brando, James Dean, Bruce Lee and, erm, Abe Lincoln.

8. I Don't Give A: Guy Ritchie should skip this mid-tempo electro track, which references his failed marriage to Madonna in unflattering terms.

9. I'm a Sinner: Co-produced by William Orbit, this recalls three of their previous hook-ups: Ray of Light, Beautiful Stranger and Amazing.

10. Love Spent: This banjo-flecked banger features a fabulous middle 8.

11. Masterpiece: Golden Globe winner from the soundtrack to the film W.E. Would slot neatly onto Something to Remember.

12. Falling Free: This cascading, string-swathed ballad is the loveliest thing Madonna's sung in almost a decade.

13. Beautiful Killer:  One of four bonus tracks is decent rather than dazzling. Nice Papa Don't Preach strings though.

14. I F***** Up: Madonna's remorseful on this mid-tempo confessional, which recalls her 2003 album American Life.

15. B-day Song feat M.I.A: A fun throwaway that could soundtrack a nightclub scene from an Austin Powers movie.

16. Best Friend: MDNA ends on an affecting note, as Madonna mourns a relationship: "I feel like I lost my very best friend."

17. Give Me All Your Luvin' (Party Rock Remix): MDNA's first single is remixed into a club banger.
