Oh, guys.
Let's not worry about numbers and scores. Gaga isn't exactly limited to a certain number of albums in her career. She can make MANY more throughout her (hopefully) long career. She's not Britney Spears, so her quality of songs don't require her to be at the top all the time.
Let's just enjoy the great, fun album that we've got, enjoy the others that have been, and have a good time

Seriously, life is way too important and fulfilling to be worrying about something which should only really matter to the money cats at Interscope.
Go have a lie down, grab those Beats headphones, and go listen to music. Not necessarily ARTPOP, but just go and enjoy it like music is there for us to do.
Honestly, I really couldn't give a cr*p about what's happening because I really, REALLY enjoy ARTPOP, I'm enjoying her interviews, and I'm looking forward to her Bennett album (which the 1st single should be coming soonish). If you're really worried about other fanbase's opinions on atrl, then I think you need to get away from the internet for a bit cause you obviously live on here a bit too much.
