The 13th Lady Gaga Thread - ARTPOP is OUT!

[axmish87]

I only liked Applause
The album drags on and on and is it me or i didn't find one remotely danceable song on the WHOLE album?

[Delicious n Bold]

Finally letting the album sink in, nothing danceable.
Applesauce is a good song.
Venus is my fave still.
Fashion second fave.
The rest are disposable I find. But in the context of the album they're ok.

[Surreal17]

One of my favourites for now is Gypsy. Aura starts promising but that robotic chorus sounds very similar to Judas' chorus and kind of drags out..Venus and G.U.Y are interesting. Swine and MANiCURE are kind of addictive. I think that everyone can choose one or two songs from the album to like..it's not a bad album..Gaga seems to love this album a lot..she expresses her love for this record everywhere.I guess that's a good thing.

1-2 good songs? Then wm I a blind stan when I love every single song and see this as the best album of the year?

I actually like all the songs but one, so. I'm pretty happy with it. Not album of the year material, but I like it a lot.

Same here. There aren't any bad songs, tbh. The album is a definite grower. I didn't like MANiCURE and Swine at first but they instantly grew onto me when I sat down and actually "listened" to them. But the album isn't album of the year material at the same time

My favorite songs are G.U.Y. / Sexxx Dreams / Do What U Want / Dope

I also like this album. I wanted to say that even for those who don't like Gaga ,they can still find one or two songs from this album to like.My english is still far from being perfect. And OMG, I forgot 'bout ARTPOP which is my fave song from the album along with Gypsy. And Do What You Want With My Body is catchy.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I think it's a great album still, even if it seems a bit overproduced or even a little empty because of the lyrics, I enjoy listening to every song and every detail, the mix of genres and familiar sounds keep me interested. I hear Madonna, David Bowie, Elton John, Blondie, and other 70s, 80s, and 90s influences which I love.

ARTPOP is certainly an album that you either love or hate from the beginning, but I'm sure it'll be legendary down the track.

[Delicious n Bold]

tbh it's great but like, not worth full price at all. amazon and their 3.99$ stint is onto something.
i havent bought it yet but wont pay full price. maybe only for venus and fashion as single downloads.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

To each their own, I bought 2 copies because I forgot the first one in my friend's car and cbf seeing him again anytime soon so lol

[jbrat2219]

VENUS has grown on me tremendously.

My favorite songs are: VENUS, APPLAUSE and Do What You Want... Pretty much the singles xD

I also like Fashion! and Swine.

[milky_way]

The only songs I don't really care for are Fashion!, Sexxx Dreams, and Dope.

I think its pretty weak overall. The production and lyrics, mostly.
I don't like BTW, but that album has sme pretty good singles as well as album tracks (Bloody Mary, Scheisse and HU). ARTPOP has the title track, Venus and DWUW... yeah... there's decent songs like Manicure and MJH but they sound so rough. She needs to stop doing drugs.

She seemed more independent and musically aware with her first releases, and she did manage to nail some BTW songs well, but ARTPOP sounds rough, rushed and careless. I think she has much much more potential, but I'm not interested in listening to her bad trips on acid.

The thread is also quite dead, maybe proof taht the new release is somehow flat and uninteresting. A resident in the hospital I work at was singing DWUW all day and I thought wow this song is great (and almost almost joined her singing along but then that would be coming out the closet lol), why isn't the rest of the album good? I don't care for what she calls ART, I care for her POP

[milky_way]

Doing better than my faves in Japan lol
