I've decided this is her best album - and I'm very unimpressed with the average "reviews" coming in that are nothing but thinly veiled Gaga think pieces and career advice. She is
criminally misunderstood by a large proportion of critics it seems, and it's so frustrating to see. I have to admit; even the positive reviews largely discuss her look, attitude, the success of ARTPOP and the "meaning" behind the Cheek To Cheek years. But, still, notice that probably the
best review we've had yet does away with any mention of her career outside of an introductory and conclusion note, and is also the one that has the highest 'sentences-discussing-music':'sentences-discussing-gaga-herself' ratio? It's honestly heartbreaking to watch on as such a personal album becomes a pawn for which a
music critic creates a narrative and casts assertions about Gaga and her career with.
I think it'll turn around in coming days though. Regardless, I'm incredibly proud of this work. Thank you Gaga and co
(Sorry to post this in the album thread itself - I refuse to contribute to the circle jerk that is that review thread)
