The major problem with the ARTPOP concept is that the art that everyone was expecting to be in the album wasn't. Referencing Greek gods and goddesses isn't exactly that artsy and has been done by a lot of artists in music who didn't claim to be be doing anything groundbreaking. The album is just a nice, but typical EDM album that explores her interests in sex, drugs, and fashion. Same old stuff. Jeff Koons' sculpture of her for the cover art is the only original artistic presence, if any, and don't tell me that's the reverse Warholian she's talking about. I just wish we could get back to the Fame/Fame Monster days...
Oh, and she should abandon rap in her music. Jewels n' Drugs was just.....no.
