Happy 1st Birthday to my favorite album ever!
To be perfectly honest, my initial reaction to the album was lukewarm. I liked it, and sure, there were songs that I loved from the first listen (Aura, Applause, Sexxx Dreams, Gypsy, Do What U Want, and Venus), but I only
liked the other tacks initially. Little did I know that I would come to be absolutely obsessed with this album as a whole, and come to love literally every single track on it, from Aura all the way to Applause, and even beyond. (Brooklyn Nights, I Wanna Be With You, PARTYNAUSEOUS, and other unreleased songs from the album.) I've never been able to say that I love every song on an album, even from Gaga, until now. (I
like all her songs, but I cannot say that I
love every track on every one of her albums as I can with ARTPOP.) It's my absolute favorite album, and I am beyond grateful to Gaga for releasing it. Strange enough, it's helped me through a few personal issues, not as obviously as Born This Way did, but in its own way, and for that I cannot thank Gaga enough.
ARTPOP means a variety of things to me. Most notably, it stand for the awe worthy concept of the reverse Warholian expedition - to do the exact opposite of what Warhol and the pop art movement strove for (to bring pop culture into the art realm). Although this is not an exclusively Gaga concept, it is arguably unique in the realm of pop music, and personally, I think it's genius. To strive to bring something so full of meaning and skill into something that is so often viewed as void and uninspired is breathtaking to me. The album also represents an outlet to artistic creativity and is a beacon for artists to run after their goals and dreams, however lofty they may seem. It's also about letting go of all the negative things in one's life. Personally, I have become a much more positive person than I was one year ago, and I think a portion of that is due to ARTPOP. Along with letting go of negative things is letting go of things in general that hold one back. Even if these things or people really, really matter to you, it may be better to just move on and let go. And I did. And I feel much better because of it. One final major concept that ARTPOP represents to me is love, most notably through Venus and Gypsy. I'm sure there are plenty of other things that ARTPOP means to me, but this is all I can think of at the moment.
This just show how many potentials ARTPOP got on its own. We can do nothing anymore. So let's ride Rocket #9 and take off to whole new dimension aka the next album
I love the chorus 
But I highly doubt she will...
are we getting Act II
