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.
I agree. It's growing on me for sure but it's very... typical. I hate to be "that fan" but ARTPOP has nothing on The Fame Monster. To me that was Gaga at her most artistic.
