Sputnikmusic's review of ARTPOP is much worse than TinyMixTapes's now infamous Born This Way review:
Quote:
Artpop is 59 minutes and 4 seconds in length. It is a pop record like her previous works.
It begins with the song “Aura,” which is almost 4 minutes in length. It is most definitely a song, containing instruments and vocals that arise from musical notes played rhythmically. “Aura” opens up with a stringed instrument that makes the song sound the way it does. Gaga works in electronic music into it sporadically, whilst making choruses that adhere to pop structures. The song ends and the next one begins.
“Venus” is yet another song. There are more electronic elements than the song that came before it, but features choruses as well. It is faster than “Aura” in many parts as well. If one were to approach it objectively, one could think of it as a song to dance to.
After that is the 3-minute and 52-second “G.U.Y.” Lady Gaga utilizes ~irony~ with the title, as G.U.Y is an acronym for “Girl Under You.” She sings about lust, love, and sexual intercourse. Once again, it is an electronic laden pop song with choruses.
“Sexxx Dreams” is another song on Artpop. Once more, Lady Gaga sings about the subject of sex. It is a slower song and at 3 minutes and 34 seconds, it is shorter than the song before it.
“Jewels N’ Drugs” features things that distinguish it from the songs before it. Opening up with guest vocalists, the vocals are inherently different than Lady Gaga. The song opens up and Lady Gaga is not immediately the person singing. It can be categorized as ~hip-hop~ and ends at the 3:48 mark.
“Manicure” (stylized as “MANiCURE”) is a faster song and has electronic sounds.
A little over 3 minutes later, the single “Do What U Want” starts. The song features R. Kelly. Kelly is an R&B recording artist that has been active since 1989. About halfway through the song he sings.
The title track is above average length for the album. It begins with fewer sounds than the other songs. The song retains the same beat and dynamics throughout.
“Swine” follows suit with an even longer length than the last. Pigs are the topic of the song, although they are objectively metaphorical.
The next song is “Donatella,” which appears to be about debauchery and being a pop star, something that Gaga writes about frequently.
The 3-minute and 58-second "Fashion!" begins with piano keys being played, with vocals coming in at the 15 second mark. There is some bass being heard as well, with some other sounds coming in to make it a song.
"Mary Jane Holland" is a bit slower and with a volume that could be considered a little higher.
"Dope" is unlike this, as it begins with keys in the same way "Fashion!" did just two songs ago. It is the album's most "acoustic" piece, as there are less sounds. Gaga sings about love being needed more than drugs.
The strategically placed "Gypsy" does not enter in as loudly and quickly as the other songs, but instead it doesn't do those things.
"Applause" signals the end of Artpop, as an applause typically comes at the end of performance. At 3 minutes and 32 seconds, the song ends in 3 minutes and 32 seconds.
In conclusion, Artpop is the third album by pop recording artist Lady Gaga. Therefore, it has similarities to her previous work, but is inherently different because it is a different album. It is 59 minutes and 4 seconds in length.
