Proof that the best Gaga songs start out at the piano, not with some DJ giving her a beat to write over.

This is almost part of the problem with ARTPOP in that it almost sounds uninspired and mechanical in places.
On The Fame/The Fame Monster you could tell the classical songwriting skills were there - crafted melodies and thought-out lyrics. It was probably why they translated so well acoustically.
In comparison, on a lot of ARTPOP tracks (namely Donatella, Aura - no matter how much it slays, and G.U.Y.) it honestly sounds like she just sang loosely over a pre-meditated beat. It makes the thing sound inauthentic from a pop perspective.
Gaga's successful ARTPOP is included in my rate along with the hit Applause and other album tracks and she needs your support! The links for the rate thread, spotify playlist and the PM link is provided
