That doesn't justify the drop in quality though.
Born This Way hit me instantly, with Artpop I've had to almost force myself to listen to the songs until I like them and that...isn't what music should be, it should instantly speak to you, for me the lyrics on TFM and BTW were what made it and Artpop just doesn't have the same quality lyric wise, it's still got Gaga's trademark all over it but it doesn't have the same oomph for me, she has toned it down too much.
This album will go down better with the GP than her fans in my opinion (other than the hardcore fans who would never admit to not loving one of her songs,yeah I see you), it feels like a step backwards creatively. I kind of wish she would have done it in volumes if she wanted to dip into this many genres and styles, a I Am...Sasha Fierce type deal would have been cool. I'm still open minded, the snippets may just not have done the music justice, here's to hoping.
