If she would have announced ARTPOP as an EDM album and would have given it a different name it would come out better... This is just POP without ART.

I'm surprised you guys still take anything she says about her music seriously. Remember when she called BTW the Album of the Year?

You honestly can't take anything she says seriously.
Everything and anything LG says has as much truth as the characterization of the boy who cried wolf.

However, I am liking artpop a lot more now that I've let it sink in. Maybe it'll be worth my money. The only song I flat out hate is Jewels and drugs.

^ I hate that song too. My concern is that she's just using imagery from classical art to advertise and is just singing typical pop music and will undermine the value of the art she is referencing. Botticelli's better than this album, that is for damn sure.

I love the album *__* there are songs that i don't like but the majority that i DO LIKE I RAELLY LIKE! :3 i'm just happy that Gaga is steering away from all the religious imagery and as much as i agree there is a lot of EDM she's more focused on music again than like like making political statements or wtv, which is what I loved about GAGA just fun ^^ beautiful artsy crazy fun!

I agree both on Jewels n Drugs which is so draggy, and on how she chose the art direction for ARTPOP. The visuals are nice imo even better than BTW but the music is...basic? There are bits of experimentation here and there but just bits, and the rest falls generally the same. I even consider BTW better than this since it has songs like Americano, Government Hooker or Bloody Mary.

My favorite would be Aura, Venus, Do What U Want, Artpop, Gypsy and Applause
And I love Dope better as I Wanna Be With You

I don't even understand how people dislike this album, I don't want to lol I have been blasting ARTPOP nonstop ever since I got the HQ rip, I can't wait to go to the shops and buy a copy.

Gypsy and Mary Jane Holland are orgasmic, I need them to be singles.

True, but I have a feeling she genuinely believes that. Personally Born This Way wasn't great for me..but it wasn't terrible. A lot of the songs have grown on me since then.

Artpop is kind-of the same. First listen, total disappointment. I've been repeating it since then and most of the songs are really catchy. The only ones I get the urge to skip are Jewels n' Drugs and Dope. The rest are pretty solid imo.

I really love some of the songs on ARTPOP. I just don't like the thing she tends to do with her voice nowadays. That weird low thingy (I don't know how to describe it lol). I didn't mind in the past because she did it occasionally but now it's overkill (imo).

Personal Thoughts:

ARTPOP: I havent DL'd it n I have no clue where u are all finding it, but from every preview n full audio Ive heard including the itunes show I watched the ONLY song I don't care for is Sex & Drugs.

BTW: This album got me into her. I didnt have a big interest in her til then. I ADORE IT START TO FINISH.

Fame & FM: I bought the 2CD version of this AFTER getting BTW & honestly Teeth took awhile to grow on me. Plus I dont care for Summerboy, Boysx3 & i cant stand Telephone, but thats mostly cuz of Beyonce being present. Plus theres the odd track I just have to be in the mood to listen to it. In total theres about 7-8 tracks I'm not fully in love with.

My initial reaction was that it wasn't mind-blowingly amazing, but there were some good tracks. I liked "Swine," "Gypsy" and "Mary Jane Holland."

Its a good album. Its not innovative or mind blowing or anything but it wasn't awful. I do kinda agree tho with most of the opinions about EDM, and I think it made the whole album sound kinda uninspired.

Am the only one who thinks the whole "art" stylization concept thing is turning out to be a trainwreck? From the album sleeve to her outfits, to me this whole "era' looks looks very uninspired and unhip, looked way better in the previews.

I agree with you on everything here!

I think this whole era is a total mess, I like the music but don't love it, but even though the concept of ARTPOP is a relatively good idea she doesn't dress,style or perform in any way that can be related to it.
And everything she does this era doesn't really fit together, it's weird....
