I don't understand why Lady Gaga fans are even attempting to criticize any other musicians' artistry. It's like they already for got about ARTPOP (like the rest of the world.

Rolling Stone - 2/5 Stars
Give Lana Del Rey credit: At least she didn’t break down and cry on Saturday Night Live. She’s a starlet to music bloggers, who’ve been buzzing over her for the past year. But for the rest of us, she’s just another aspiring singer who wasn’t ready to make an album yet. Given her chic image, it’s a surprise how dull, dreary and pop-starved Born to Die is. It goes for folky trip-hop ballads with a tragic vibe, kinda like Beth Orton used to do. Except she could sing.
The thing with Lana is that I did like her during Video Games/BTD/Blue Jeans-- I defended her against people calling her pretentious and nonsensical, but they are right.
She does have some great visuals, but most of the time she seems to follow some cheesy formula to make her videos seem more artsy-fartsy than they really are; the simple metaphors, vintage bits, monologues, filters, etc.
I'm willing to give her another chance, but I just hope her next era is different.
