Of the album, Madonna said:

"I wanted a record with no ballads. I wanted there to be no breaks, with one song segueing into the next -- just like in a disco. (...) Whenever I make records, I often like the remixes better than the original versions. So I thought, screw that. I'm going to start from that perspective. I want to hear all these songs in a club. I approached the album from more of a DJ's point of view, but Stuart [Price] is a DJ. That really influenced the vibe -- the dance aspect -- of the record."^[3] (...) "We listened to a lot of other people's records when we were making this - obviously ABBA and Giorgio Moroder - so to me it's more of an homage to other people's records than mine. If there are references to earlier records it's probably done unknowingly, part of our molecular structure; it comes out again and again, hopefully not too boringly and repetitive."^[4] Abba redirects here. ... Giorgio Moroder (born Giovanni Giorgio Moroder on April 26, 1940 in Ortisei, Italy) is an Academy Award-winning Italian record producer, songwriter and performer, whose groundbreaking work with synthesizers during the 1970s was a significant influence on new wave, techno and electronic music in general. ...

According to the Daily Mail's Adrian Thrills, "Madonna is returning to reclaim her dance-pop crown with a record that pushes her, feet-first, back into club culture. Confessions on a Dance Floor... is not only the former Ms. Ciccone's best album since 1998's Ray of Light. It's a non-stop, rhythm-driven tour de force that ranks alongside anything she made in her chart-conquering heyday. According to Rolling Stone, "This is an album designed for maximum volume. It's all motion, action, speed. The tracks are constantly shifting, with dizzying layers of sounds and samples dropping in and out, skittering and whooshing across the speakers. Unlike the crystalline precision of latter-day Madonna discs like Ray of Light and Music, the sonic signature here is a powerhouse density -- on tunes like "Future Lovers" and "Push", with its hypnotic tribal beat mixed with future trance. Not only do the twelve songs all blend together like a ready-made DJ set, it's as if they also come pre-remixed... Coming off her last album, the tepid American Life, the forty-seven-year-old mother of two wants to show that she can still stay up late."^[6] The Daily Mail is a British newspaper, currently published in a tabloid format. ...
