I used to hate it, and then I gave it another chance after I decided to ignore GaGa's behaviour of the past year.
I decided to listen to it as objective as possible, as if it was her first album. I fell in love with G.U.Y. I mean the lyrics are horrid, but the song is uber catchy. I loved it. I mean she should have ditched a fourth of the album, and the album would have been a lot better. I think she got lost midway into the production and had doubts. She was scared to not be able to deliver a huge hit like Bad Romance.... I mean the album is good, and deserves better than what it actually did.
It's better than Born This Way.
People are too obsessed with chart positions and sales, that it overshadows the music.
They should look at music objectively, and not bring in any personal bias.
Absolutely not, and the embarrassing fact is that many people pleasantly enjoyed the album when it leaked, before the first week sales came in, which is when all the hate really started. It just goes to show how many people don't really dislike the album, but rather the relatively tame success it garnered.
No. It flopped after Gaga gave up on it while she was distancing herself from DWUW and people are using that to finally drag her since she has been so successful and prideful for a long time. Art pop is still her worst album.
