Per WP:OVERCITE, ref#11 should just be used at the end of the sentence before Madonna's "No, it's about empowering yourself." quote in the second paragraph after quotebox, and ref#13 should just be used at the end of the "attempting to win a lost lover back" sentence in said paragraph.

More WP:OVERCITE in the third paragraph after quotebox- ref#6 should just be used right after the end of the Robert Del Naja quote, ref#9 should just be used at the end of the "she is determined to change his mind" sentence, and ref#13 only needs to be used at the end of the paragraph

I'm sure they did, but the standard is to have ' when quoting a quote or quoting someone stating a title.

The last sentence in the third paragraph would read better as something like "In a negative review, Robert Christgau gave the album a 'dud' rating and called it 'a bad record whose details rarely merit further thought.'"
Actually if we check the references, Robert Christgau never wroteSomething to Remember 'a bad record whose details rarely merit further thought'. He simply gave it a 'dud' rating without any commentary. I think if we rewrite it like that, it looks like a direct comments to the album, which is not.

In that case, try something like "Robert Christgau criticized the album as 'a bad record whose details rarely merit further thought'."
Still sounding like a direct commentary. He did not say anything to the album. What about this? -> Robert Christgau criticized the album with a "dud" rating, which means "a bad record whose details rarely merit further thought."

Sounds good to me, though I would probably use "indicating" or "commenting" rather than "which means".

ref#21 (Amazon.com) isn't very suitable for reviews, as things like this, iTunes, and eBay can have all sorts of reviews, most of which aren't exactly professional. It could perhaps be used as a reference for release dates, but I wouldn't recommend it for album/song reviews.
It's a review made by the website editor (which is quite professional), not review from the users/buyers/customers. Amazon.com is also
included on
Metacritic scoring.
I mainly had the user/buyers/customers in mind, though the site editor definitely has more merit. WP:ALBUM/SOURCES also discourages this use.
I'm not doubting Rickey Wright's credibility, though WP:ALBUM/SOURCES is currently discouraging it. For now, I'd say remove the review, re-open the conversation on Amazon.com on the WP:ALBUM/SOURCES talkpage, see where that goes.
