She even went through a breakup and found love again, and we got Gypsy - a good moment, but we are missing Brooklyn Nights. I mean it is her work but I just don't understand why she chooses to further create a wedge between herself and actual human emotion. It doesn't need be Lana Del Rey tumblr ready, but I wish she released music (again) that had substance.

I agree with all of this.
Especially Applause, the verses are so not relatable at all. The koons and pop culture lines are so weird. I don't know about all of you but lyrics are important to me.
As you said in your other post, I don't care about chart numbers (I didn't know what Billboard was until 2012, after I started lurking online forums).
I just want something to relate to. ARTPOP lacks emotion imo, except for Gypsy and Dope. And I can't even listen to Dope that much because of those drunk vocals. But lyrically, it's one of her best songs.
Oh well, thank god C2C is coming.
he only says all the stuff he says to get a reaction off you guys, and it works 99.9% of the time
It was played a bit on some radio here, which is weird cause I don't even think it's an official remix (?). But they played it here, and it's such a great remix.
it's obvious he's just trying to get a reaction out of the easily offended monsters. It's funny
) are relative and sort of tricky. I don't think it's productive to bang your head and scrutinize yourself to check if every lyric you write has a Facebook-status effect to it. It has to come naturally. 
It's a great song but if it's going to be her only "great" song then hell I don't even know.
