Its still too heavy on the features but tbf on Gaga it was waaay ahead of the game if you consider the early prototype trap-esque elements within the track. Seriously if it was released say two/three years ago as a single it would've done really well, especially when looking back on what was happening in the charts at the time 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

glitch diva 2,912 Posted November 28, 2020 ARTPOP doesn't work as an album. I know that the genre mix was intentional, but it makes everything feel so disconnected that it almost feels like a playlist with unreleased songs. I wish it was more jazz and r&b influenced like the title track and Sexxx Dreams. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DinahLee 6,228 Posted November 29, 2020 I don't think ARTPOP problem would be "genre mix" because, personally, it works, but it does sound heavy and loud and... it gets tiring. It's the total opposite of when you have an album that halfway just stops and put every ballad and midtempo all along to finish. ARTPOP slow down a bit in the middle, with MANiCURE\Jewels N Drugs\DWUW\ARTPOP and then comeback louder and noisier than ever with Donatella, Mary Jane Holland, Gypsy and even Applause. I don't think it's a bad thing, but I understand how it "doesn't work" at all as an album. But most of the songs are highlights so.... If it wasn't for the backlash from media, they'd still have plenty of obvious single choices like Gypsy and MANiCURE and also more "gaga stuff" like Sexxx Dreams and Aura. I hate how the era was cut short, but it was for the best. And now........ Chromatica hun. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Life 3,975 Posted November 29, 2020 ARTPOP is mostly a good album - it’s not as bad as people make it out to be. I think a lot of issues with people saying it’s a “bad” album come from the whole era/campaign being generally messy, which is completely understandable when lil’ troy boy carter was trying to fxck her over; changing management in the middle of an album campaign is on the list of things not to do fxcking do. I think a lot of other peoples perceptions of it being a “bad” album came from it not being as commercially successful as her first three albums as well, seeing as a lot of the internet gays only care about charts and numbers and only deem an album “good” if the numbers match up (rather than the content). ARTPOP is a good album - it’s not as dreadful as Joanne anyway. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veinsineon 77,067 Posted November 29, 2020 Guys it’s not that the concept of art pop is bad it’s just a dated asf genre of dance music. It’s good for a 2013 throwback but like it’s not some relic like a few of her other records were. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Make me your Dream Life 88,080 Posted November 29, 2020 ARTPOP is like a pickle. some people don't really like pickles. but the others that do. it's like it's amazing. they LOVE that pickle. it's crunch. scrumptious 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gypsy is a real lovely song but it's not commercial sonically apart for its post-chorus, MANiCURE is catchy af but it's kinda chaotic and sudden, Sexxx Dreams is iconic and essential on her discography but again, far from being commercial and I think the same for Aura I'm glad Applause was chosen for the lead single because it's the most "commercial" song on the record and helped it to not underperform awfully. DWUW had so much potential but its lack of a music video didn't do any good and G.U.Y. came out too late 1 hour ago, vodkaa said: ARTPOP is like a pickle. some people don't really like pickles. but the others that do. it's like it's amazing. they LOVE that pickle. it's crunch. scrumptious I guess that's what she meant with "Could show you all the reasons why my ARTPOP could mean anything" if you think about it 1 Quote "ser bella me dio privilegios, pero ser astuta me dio poder" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I hate it, nnnn, and they TRIED it putting it on... SNL and, like, the Muppets special, but the song didn't pick any sales... but yeah, a full single push with Radio and so on is on another level, and it could have worked, it wasn't "radio poison" like most of the stuff. Same for MANiCURE which is like one of the few songs that she didn't... swear out of nowhere lol. Sexxx Dreams & Aura & Venus would have flopped but she'd be serving, I just know she'd kill it. Especially Venus, she was so... connected with that one. I'm just sure it would end up being a "signature" of sorts just because she'd perform it everywhere trying to make it happen and it would be exposed enough that people would think of it as a Hit. a "Run the World (Girls)" tea. Or like... Million Reasons. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
