I just can't relate to ARTPOP at all. Not its concepts, and certainly not its lyrics. I'm not hiding behind the aura, Venus isn't a powerful love song, GUY...I mean I don't even know, Sexxx Dreams actually yes
Born This Way had love songs, break up songs, and songs about ones identity - all more appealing than relating to critics, pop culture, and whatever pretentious lyrics vomited out on ARTPOP.
But I am glad you find the album relatable, somehow! What is it that speaks out to you about ARTPOP?
Well, first of all, ARTPOP sounds like a one uplifting party song, which is something I always am looking for in pop music. The album's visuals, esp including G.U.Y's video, are not ugly or scary, instead, they are colourful, sexy and much more positive than BTW. Don't get me wrong, I love dark, edgy vibes ala TFM (perfect in that genre along with 'AALIYAH'), but after BTW I wanted somthing that would win me back and it did.
The songs that I find both deep and more than just a dance beat are Swine, DWUW, Gypsy. The fun/party songs are Aura, Venus, G.U.Y., Sexxx Dreams, Applause. Heck, I even LOVE Jewels N Drugs, simply beacuse I love this kind of music.
And no surprise here, Dope is the song that always makes me think about life and choices people make.
I feel sad reading through the pages of this thread and seeing the thread titles on the rest of this site... Everybody really has decided to hate Gaga for anything she does, even if it is miles better than any of the other girls ever did or will do
On the whole, ARTPOP is my favourite album by Gaga. Maybe it's because I've overplayed the others but I really think most songs on it are a masterpiece, I don't understand the hate it gets
Most of the songs are absolute BOPS, other than Fashion! which is the definition of a filler, I can even bop to Gagas part on Jewels & Drugs tbh

People have seriously taken a massive **** on Gaga this era. That's why part of me hopes that Act II is just a thing for the fans, she goes on tour for a while and steps out of the public eye/spotlight so people have a break from her, and then she comes back with a new, clean, organized era with new music and a great, happy attitude.

I wish she'd realize how poorly ARTPOP is doing. But instead, she's gonna go on a year long tour and drop a second volume. Like . . .
If she would just accept defeat, go back to the drawing back and put her passion and soul into making new music, she could come back and reclaim her throne.

Sis, this is exactly what we thought she was doing for ARTPOP Instead she came back messier than ever.

I love ARTPOP.
I love he videos this era. Applause and GUY are great. DWUW was a dark video, so dark it was almost like watching a black screen of nothingness. I love Aaliyah, by the way! The first female artist I ever stanned for. Her last album, while alive, is kind of what I want from Gaga - in terms of lyrical diversity through the viewpoint of listeners.
Every track on ARTPOP is listenable, and I love it when I am drunk, but it doesn't move me I can't think of any human emotion I've ever felt that makes me want to play ARTPOP because Gaga's gets it. I used to feel that way with TFM-BTW.
But I am glad people are enjoying music because that's the point!

She's beating a dead horse at this point.
She did make new music though... I've considered the possibility that she wants to release an amazing album called volume 2 just for it to redeem volume 1.
The last thing she should do is go into a blackout again, it won't do her any good, she needs to start doing some popular collabs while recording a new album or something
That's so weird I was just about to quote your previous post and praise you for stanning Swine before I saw this.
It's an incredible song, one of the best in her whole career imo and it gets paid dust

Yes, stan for Aaliyah. Her self titled album was truly flawless and very ahead of its time.
On topic
Like I said, it all depends on what people want from their favourite artist. And I agree completely with your last sentence.
I remember last summer vacation when Aura leaked I was so hyped and excited but I knew the era was going to be another mess when I saw this video
Everyone was hyped at the very beginning of the era, before Applause. I honestly thought she had her **** together and was ready to slay everyone. But it was just one thing after another...
