G.U.Y. needs a video though.

MANiCURE at Swinefest is so repetitive. She improved the song a lot, the only thing I would've liked is the instrumental in the beginning and the 'Heal Me' part just one more time near the end.

agreed and the 'I'm the one whos been comin round looking to love in you' was better @ Swinefest.

people overrate the Swinefest versions. If you relisten to them you'll notice the live vocals pale to the album vocals.

Except for I Wanna Be With You/Dope, by a long shot

I remember when Gaga announced ARTPOP with the image of the white snorkel-like mask and when I came here so many people have changed their avis to gifs of that image. They were here to stan because they all assumed debut sales of upwards of 800K... the delusion at thinking Gaga would top BTW's debut sales at full price!

Dope is a better song. I Wanna Be With You is zzzzzz

Although I enjoyed Swinefest very much (Swine was epic for me), I prefer album versions of both Sexxx Dreams nad MANiCURE.

Only thing holding ARTPOP back are its very bottoming lows (Donatella, J&D, Studio Swine). The best of the best is really kind of impeccable. Applause, Artpop, Do What U Want, Sexxx Dreams, G.U.Y. and Gypsy are some of my favorite Gaga tracks.

Fixed.

I was about to drag Hugo b/c I like his song The City more than some of the songs on ARTPOP, but he helped produce MJH and Gypsy, so I can spare him. Anton still let me down though

The City & Finale >>> MJH & Gypsy

Aura & GUY >> Any of Zedd's own tracks

artRave's slightly extended version of MANiCURE >>>>>>

And Swine's 6 minute version is still so underrated by everyone here. It gets the chance to build like a proper EDM banger.

Applause still doesn't get old.

Applause is genuinely Gaga's greatest hook ever. We all have to deal with that.

I can't cosign this tbh... BTW (Bad Kids), TFM (Teeth), and TF (Brown Eyes, Money Honey) had much lower lows than ARTPOP.. ARTPOP's problems are fundamental little things that permeate every track, like either blatant or incomprehensible lyrics and a bit too generic production.

I can agree with the first bit although, with the second, I think I like Zedd's Spectrum more than his tracks on ARTPOP. Regardless, I'm glad you didn't mention Donatella.

GYPSY is a good song
i'm embarrassed to say its my 2nd fav song of gaga after bad romance !

[MM3]

I love the "you were in my" ad lib during the chorus of Sexxx Dreams. Glad she decided to add that.

Eh. The "you were in my dreams" brought it from 9 to a 7.5/8. I can't get into it with the chorus being that messy.

Just today I was thinking about it and thought it would be nice to have this as a bonustrack or something. Great version indeed.

And just now I'm bopping to Sexxx Dreams and Swine.

Gypsy slays! Just as long as you remember how much GOD Romance (aka the best song of Gaga's career) slays, we're good

[ELECTRAHEARTPOP]

I wish Sexxx Dreams stayed like the version she played in Bouji's nightclub. The lower vocals > the high pitched screachy chorus on the album.
