I liked Born This Way, but it's just a lot worse than her first two albums, which were truly excellent. I felt Born This Way was really bloated with a lot of half-baked ideas and muddy production. It still had some gems though, like Judas, Fashion Of His Love, Scheiße, Heavy Metal Lover, Bloody Mary.
For ARTPOP I'm just hoping for something polished. I want melodies and hooks that stick. I liked her first two albums cause they kind of stupid but smart at the same time, she had an ironic sense of humour. With Born This Way the humour was kind of lost and it just came off really pretentious.
