Ermm, just finished my first listen, I know the whole album is a grower and will grow in me just like Applause (Which is one of the best songs on the album

), but I can't help but feel that BTW is a MUCH better album, and I felt instant in love with it on the first listen, I don't know if I'm biased because 2011 was the best year of my life, but... There's something really special about it, and like somebody said early in this thread (Queen Bea. i think?) Gags really wants the generic pop listeners back, and that caused a drop in lyrical quality, but it's not a bad album by any means, I was just waiting more I think?
I can't rank the songs yet, but my instant favorites are ARTPOP, Gypsy, MANiCURE and... (So guilty for saying that) Fashion!
