I don't think it's necessarily you, but rather that ARTPOP gets trashed so much outside the base that we (intentionally or unintentionally) try to foster nothing but positivity about the album here. That and the phrase "Gaga's old material was so good - what happened?" is unnerving. (I know you're not saying that exactly, but it's a similar concept.) It's not you though, I promise.
Honestly, though, I could care less. I love all of Gaga's albums, so any support towards any of them is a win in my opinion.
