Slant didn't say Joanne is better than Artpop, what kind of flop reading comprehension do you guys have?
"the album is more sonically consistent and thematically focused than the singer's last solo effort, the regressive Artpop. With Gaga's newly stripped-down image and rootsy musical palette, Joanne would have made for a more logical evolutionary follow-up to 2011's rock-tinged Born This Way"
Idk to me this is basically saying it's a better album.
I'm a believer, it's a trial
Foolish and weaker, oh, oh, oh
I'd rather save an angel down
I'm a believer, it's chaos
Where are our leaders? Oh, oh, oh
I'd rather save an angel down

It’s an album you never thought you wanted from Lady Gaga – one lacking most of the flair her past work displayed – and is all the more effective for skirting expectations. In an age where shock and awe is a daily occurrence, Gaga makes the radical change from her previous abstract, shrouded personas to something we can plainly see, something relatable.
