While America celebrated its 250th Independence Day, Madonna put out 15th album Confessions II! It musically reboots a past album, but candidly expressing more than we've heard personally from her. I recap Madonna's discography and compare Confessions II 's quality to 2005's Confessions on a Dance Floor's record.
