The Australian press was treated with a first listen to Madonna’s new album yesterday, and the first reviews are in!

• The Observer’s track-by-track review

The Star Observer‘s resident entertainment writer Nick Bond also sat down for the first Australian listen and says MDNA sees Madonna cherry-picking the best bits of her previous few albums and making them new. Sounds familiar, uh?
