Trimming The Musical Fat74. Madonna’s Ray of Light (1998) - Is it too long?“And I feel like I just got home”
Ray of Light is arguably the most important album of pop megastar Madonna’s career. Her ‘comeback’ album from 1998, it was a huge critical and commercial success. But, with a 67 minute runtime, is it a little too long?

We love us some Rey/Kylo Ren hot Forcebook chatting, but the MacGuffins, the new weird lore, the non-sacrificial sacrifices, and the heartbreaking absence of a real Leia throughline make this a not-totally-satisfying ending to the Skywalker Saga. Does the Rey/Kylo stuff make up for all that? Y'know, it almost does, especially when Kylo is doing his Mr. Darcy impression. Or is it Noah Baumbach's "Marriage Story"?
