Yes, messy lyrics. Nothing on this record showcases her writing abilities. Give me some examples that prove me wrong.
Yes, lacking melodies and hooks. You are not gonna tell me that songs like "Born This Way" and "Marry The Night" are even comparable to songs like "Paparazzi" or "Bad Romance". There are obviously a few exceptions (Heavy Metal Lover, Schiebe, Bloody Mary, and TEOG) but the other 10 songs on the record are just weak.
And the production on most of the songs is amateur. You don't get a crisp feel like you did with songs like "Paparazzi", "Bad Romance", "Alejandro", or any of the first 3 singles from TF. Alot of it sounds like it was recorded on a bus or something.
And lastly, I think it speaks volumes that most of the album sales come from the first month. The fact that it sold 3 million in the first month (due to her fans / hype from previous era) and only 2 million in the following 8 months with tons and tons of promo, videos, and single releases....I mean....
Have no doubt, this era was a success. 5.5 million albums sold is a big deal but the damage that it has caused will be seen next era. Even if the next era spawns many hit singles and whatnot, it's gonna be alot harder for her to sell 5-6 million again because she won't have the hype going in and she won't have the massive first few weeks like she did this time.

Love is objectified by what men say is right
Scheiße-scheiße be mine,
******** be mine (******** be mine)
Blonde high-heeled feminist enlisting femmes for this
Express your woman-kind
Fight for your right (Fight for your right)
When I'm on a mission
I rebuke my condition.
If you're a strong female,
You don't need permission.

We are not just art for Michaelangelo
To carve.
He can't rewrite the agro of my furied
Heart.
I'll wait On mountain tops in Paris cold
Je ne veux pas mourrir toute seule
Quote:
’m a bitch, I’m a loser baby maybe I should quit
I’m a jerk, wish I had the money but I can’t find work
I’m a brat, I’m a selfish punk, I really should be smacked
My parents tried until they got divorced ‘cause I ruined their lives
I’m a twit, degenerate young rebel and I’m proud of it
Pump your fist if you would rather mess up than put up with this
I’m a nerd, I chew gum and smoke in your face, I’m absurd
I’m so bad and I don’t give a damn, I love it when you’re mad
When you’re mad, when you’re mad.

She's just an American riding a dream
And she's got rainbow syrup in her heart that she bleeds
They don't care if your papers or your love is the law
She's a free soul burning roads with the flag in her bra
Quote:
I want your whiskey mouth
All over my blonde south
Red wine, cheap perfume and a filthy pout
Tonight bring all your friends
Because a group does it better
Why river with a pair?
Let's have a full house of leather
Dirty Pony I can't wait to hose you down
You've got to earn your leather in this part of town
Dirty pearls and a patch for all the Rivington Rebels
Let's raise hell in the streets drink beer and get into trouble
Whip me slap me, punk funk
New York clubbers, bump drunk
Budlite liquors, bar slam
Move it, this is your jam
Wash the night, with St.J-ameson
Like a baptism, Heavy Metal lovers Play
Baby we were born this way

Judas isn't weak, Hair isn't week, Electric Chapel isn't weak and You and I isn't weak.
The production of Judas, Hair, Electric Chapel, The Queen and You and I are amazing.
TFM was recorded fully on a bus.
Other artists had the most successful Era in their carter and it did nothing to boost their album sales.
You're a pure example of what I was saying, You're just overreacting and exaggerating

What a load of old ******. I pity people like you.
I don't think attacking people or getting defensive is really the answer. I mean, this board is about music discussion right? Talk it out rather than insulting. It's much more interesting to read too

Some people in this forum
I am too lazy to explain why BTW is not an amateur album
Nicole actually has decent arguments and her opinions are very well based
Honey eyes is negative just to be negative
I think this is a very unfair statement to make. Despite everything that has happened, Honey is still here. She still contributes as a fan of Gaga's a puts her opinion across. I agree that Nicole has good arguments upon which to base her opinions, but to say she does and Honey doesn't is very unfair.
