I do think Just Another Day will be one of those songs I'll ignore initially but in a couple of months find it again and fall in love with it. Like I did with a lot of tracks on Born This Way can't believe I slept on Highway Unicorn and Heavy Metal Lover

Side note: I also love that Mark Ronson is aware of the Alejandro comparison in DIC and it was most likely intentionally when Gaga said give the fans that fame monster hook. I love how self-aware everyone is.

It's also funny how most of you say Gaga is swimming against the tide. I surprisingly think the opposite. We all know dance pop/electropop are not trendy right now. She would be going out of the norm if she actually stuck to her initial style and wanted solely to please her old fans. Releasing these country influenced pop songs sounds a commercial strategy to me instead of showing up the "real Gaga". Despite this, this is not gonna work and the album won't be commercially successful.

This is literally the kind of music style she likes to listen to/influenced her. "Pleasing her old fans" and "sticking to her initial style" is what she did in 2013 and what we got was ARTPOP, her worst album.

I am being honest when i'm saying this but Joanne Gaga sh*ts on her last albums. Not image wise obviously. The only thing I dislike about this era is the fashion but everything else >>>

Yall should just accept that she will never give you The Fame Monster 2.0. Wait, she actually did. Its called ARTPOP. See, that's what happens when yall want the same thing over and over again. Gaga did TFM 2.0 and it turned out to be her worst album ever. She didnt grow as an artist in the ARTPOP era cause yall wanted Sex. Electronic bops and it just became a mess

Gaga should never listen to yall. She listened to every single ine of yoy TFM stans and chh what an era we had

Now with Joanne doing things she loves and the music she genuinely LOVE from the start (this era is reminiscent of the music that she was doing before fame) its outcome is AMAZING.

Just listen to The Fame, TFM, BTW and ARTPOP if yall really like it that much. Its not gonna vanish it will be out there forever

Just stop asking and expecting her to go back go that sound every release and end up being disappointed EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Many things wrong with this post.

first, the fact that you even put artpop in the same universe in quality of TFM (regarding it as TFM 2.0) is utter blasphemy. TFM is absolutely pristine.

Second, you are delusional if you think she listened to her fans for input on the actual artpop era at all. she listened to her team and management, who tried to capitalize off of the edm/electronic trend.

you can't criticize gaga fans/followers for not liking this album. this album is much more "stefani" the the general gaga that gp mostly knows (the fame, the fame monster, outrageous things).
people are allowed to be disappointed with things, because there's this wonderful concept of an opinion and it may not match yours.

anyway, my final verdict of joanne is 7-7.5/10. much better than artpop, but there are still some tracks i need to grow on me.

My ranking of Gaga albums:

1. Joanne
2. Artpop
3. The Fame Monster
4. Born This Way
5. Cheek To Cheek
6. The Fame

Any real fan would have seen this era coming. The Born This Way era practically foreshadowed Joanne:

- The Country Road version of Born This Way
- Stuck on F***in' You
- The rocker biker chick look
- The rock influences in like 90% of Born This Way

I can't at some of them acting surprised, tbh.

Yep! I remember sitting in my high school physics class and talking with my best friend (who didn't like Gaga's synth pop music but could tell how talented she was from like Speechlees and Brown Eyes) about how much we couldn't wait for her to serve an album JUST like this.

Everyone here is lying and you all hate this album actually and you want old Gaga back with her RedOne bops. Stop being delusional liking this country album
... but, I'm just stating my opinion.

Basically this

[Kings.]

Just Another Day is growing on me a bit.

[willmcclure9]

Joanne is the perfect progression after BTW. I love ARTPOP but it should have swapped release dates with BTW.

[maurixrosup]

This is easily her best album, she did an excellent job. Guess I love her again

Imagine me praising Gaga's genre-bending number one albums ranging from Pop to Dance to Jazz to Country

You'd laugh at me

It sounds pretentious and ignorant to claim this isn't a pop album. Borderline offensive to actual rock and country artists

This IS a Pop album. It might be hard to believe when you compare it to her previous releases. But at least half the songs on the record are CLEAR POP songs, a quarter is still pop with some influences and only the other quarter COULD be considered of a specific genre, and even that's a stretch.


This is a nice album. Nothing groundbreaking, which is kinda sad. Although the best songs on the Album are ballads, as amazing as that sounds because that had been one of Gaga's weakest areas up to this moment.

Million Reasons and Angel Down are great tracks. Heartfelt. Solidly written. Relatable. Just very nice songs.

Some of the songs go nowhere, some of the songs follow too much of a strict structure, a somewhat rigid vocal progression as well. But that's nothing I don't think of MANY other Pop releases. Usually, there's only a handful of songs, at most, worth the time and the rest are meh.


I still wonder why PI is included in this. It sounds extremely out of place. Applause was a little bit different than the rest of Artpop, but GUY was kind if a sister to it. Born This Way had many 80s children there with it. Bad Romance and Just Dance were part of their albums very well. So one does have to wonder WHY that song ended up being the lead single.

Disagree re: ARTPOP. That album literally came about as a reaction to backlash from the Born This Way era from both her fanbase and critics alike

I don't think PI is really all that different from John Wayne and Diamond Heart tbh.

I think literally because she was trying to tie in the sounds that made her who she is today. Like it's a messy attempt, but it's still very Gaga.

I honestly doubt she will give us anything "groundbreaking" that's just such a high expectation. What IS groundbreaking? Most of that stuff ventures severely left field out of the realm of pop and as we can see she's still not headed that direction, nor is she willing to be completely pure pop either. There's always a mix with her, which is nice.
