In you opinion... What could she have done to make the album perfect?

To start off she shouldn't have touched the Itunes Fest vocals on ARTPOP & Sex Dreams. Never have recorded Applause, Swine , and J&D, stopped being so screechy during the Donatella chorus, etc.,

Tbh, I'm glad the critics are being harder on Gaga. It'll show her what phase her career is in and it'll force her to make better albums. We all know how much Gaga cares about media perception. If shes smart, then she'll learn. .

Absolutely agree with that. I would be good even if ARTPOP kinda underperforms. That will force her to step up her game and make a REALLY good album

I'm not surprised. The title bit her in the ass and some songs are unnecessary. I hope it settles at 70 at least.

[venuss]

Omg she got a 40

at the comments on musicOMH, the backlash

This, i agree 100% she been messy this era and BTW era she just need to make a really good album from her heart not a dead EDM sound IMO.

DWUW is better than all of Madeon and Zedd tracks, actually is the best song in the album, better than all of em!

DJWS said he took the beat from a friend and tinkered with it though. Not agreeing or disagreeing , but just saying!!

[Forevermore]

Messy.

Critics even do that with indie artists. Not just the pop girls.

You know that I know critics do that with more than pop girls, but that's all these ATRL stans know

I know. Just wanted to point out that people aren't "biased" against just Gaga.

Ikr?

She needs to get her **** together and make a solid pop masterpiece like TFM. Also she needs to ditch all the YES people she has around her. They arent doing her a favor. If she wants to make good and quality music again she needs RedOne back. Hes for her what Dr Luke is for Katy. They make magic together. A big part of the monsters hate him ( I cant understand why) but he brings the best out of Gaga when they work together.
But then again ARTPOP is a good album too. And I hope it gets the acclaim it deserves

Knew the title would backfire
Should've stolen Rih's album title LOUD or something

I think ARTPOP deserves the same score as TFM at the least. The album is just as good as TFM from an objective point of view. In my personal point of view, it's better and deserves 80+.

For those who wonder why some drag others for not liking this album compared to earlier albums, I'd have to say that it has everything to do with the vast difference between Born This Way and ARTPOP. Considering ARTPOP was what many folks wanted instead of BTW when it came out, of course they'd be upset when critics preferred BTW over ARTPOP.

If she had released BTW now instead of ARTPOP it would've been dragged just as hard

Such amazing reviews

[ALA]

it's only 8 reviews so far though. I'm sure some stupid review like TinyMixTapes will push her even further down. Oh well, the album remains great!

review is def in the 80-90 area, but reading it feels like he listened to a completely diff album

[slobro]

Her lyrics are the other reason she's getting so much flack. They've become so kitschy and/or cringy (Donatella, Fashion!, Swine, Applause (although they've become sort of iconic ki), Venus, ARTPOP, MJH) and it has been a problem since 2011. There's a reason Sexxx Dreams and DWUW are the most praised tracks. It's a shame because the album's good if you can look past that, the catchy pop hooks are all there. I think it's just as good if not better than BTW.

It's a shame because I really enjoy the album. Aura/Venus/GUY/Sexxx Dreams/Applause/DWUW/Fashion!/Gypsy/Dope/Artpop/Manicure are all enjoyable to me. But if these harsh reviews lead her to write good lyrics again I won't complain tbh

Good thing no one bases their purchase on reviews anymore, she just needs the hits. Gypsy/Sexxx Dreams/G.U.Y. for the rescue.

But yeah hopefully no ARTPOP pt 2, but a new album with a new less backfiring title

[ALA]

It’s the kind of a blockbuster pop album that’s mainstream but kooky enough to make you realize just how bland her peers sound on their latest releases, from Katy Perry’s “Prism” to Miley Cyrus’s “Bangerz.

stan Boston Globe. I'm guessing this one won't count for MC though?

[KanYe!]

Does count, weighed pretty good too.

That paragraph you quoted is one of the tru parts of the article I won't lie tho

It counts they gave an 80 to katy (and they dragged her here I don't know why we still read them)
