Lady Gaga - ARTPOP
 

Lady Gaga's album has leaked. So I've managed to listen to it quite a few times and I love it! Is anyone else going to listen to it?

Tracklist:

Aura
Venus
G.U.Y.
Sexxx Dreams
Jewels N' Drugs
MANiCURE
Do What U Want
Artpop
Swine
Donatella
Fashion!
Mary Jane Holland
Dope
Gypsy
Applause

I can't seem to get it anywhere, and I guess it's because I don't have iTunes. I will say I love Applause. SO MUCH. Not sure about the rest yet, but I'm not really into Dope or Do What U Want. I'll give you a full review later for sure. :)

Explain yourself!

Why don't you like Do What U Want? Best track on the album overall!

The only reason I like Dope is because of getting to hear her vocals clearly and it shows other people how talented of a singer she is.

I'll be listening to it tonight when I buy it on iTunes.

Lady Gaga _ Mary Jane Holland
 

you can listen n watch the lyrics of Mary Jane Holland (the full song) here:

:band:

I'm having a hard time getting into it. It just feels very bland and mediocre for an album that she's been hyping for two years.

Do what u want, ARTPOP, and Applause are AMAZING!

The album is starting to grow on me. The biggest, though, is that this would be a great album if it was released by any other pop star. Gaga holds herself to a higher standard, so judging by that, it's hard to appreciate this as a work of art.

Yip I agree. I think as much as I enjoy the chorus of Venus, the rest of it is embarrassing and is trying too hard to be like David Bowie.

I finally got it on Spotify, and all I can say is I love MANiCURE.

Applause & Do what you want is great !

I think Applause is the best song on the album. But, overall I am not as thrilled on this new album as on the first one...

It's a solid album. "Jewels n Drugs" is godawful as is "Mary Jane Holland", but everything else is great, even though it takes a couple listens to get into.

"Gypsy" is freakin awesome. That's single #3 and could be the saviour of the album for sales.

She keeps hyping the crap out of Do What U Want, but it's not catching on.

She really needs to save this album with a strong third single, but there doesn't seem to be much single worthy content here. Perhaps Gypsy or Dope, even though I hate the latter.

She has Dontella, Dope, Gypsy, Jewel N' Drugs. Those are all single worthy. I don't think this album needs saving though.

Dontella is ****ing awesome. A top track for me. I wonder what Dontella thought about it? Not many artists can pull that off with a fashion editor.

Donatella will never be released as a single, and for good reason. The entire song is so cringeworthy, from the bitchy opening to lines like "you just had a salad today." The public won't eat it up at all.

Jewels N' Drugs is a hit or miss. I like Gaga's parts, but the rap verses are weak. Plus the song doesn't have a very strong structure. It doesn't need it, but the general public probably won't like it because of that.

I'm really digging "Gypsy" right now.

What does ARTPOP even mean!?

The entire album is so strong and powerful. I love it very much. Gypsy is a personal favorite. :)

According to Gaga, it could mean anything.

I like this definition I have come across in the past.

Is that song with her and R.Kelly on this album?... If so I don't even want to hear it. I think she is a wonderful artist but that song is annoying.

It's not that bad of a song. I can think of worse songs on the allbum, such as Dope or Donatella.

Gave this a listen the other day. I got the impression it's more of a club album than just pop. I know there's not much difference there. But it was definitely a blast from the past in late tween years to early 20s going out to night clubs almost every night. :laughing:

Otherwise yeah, nothing much to say about it but the first track is pretty cool.

Same.

Album sounds more Dubstep/Brostep influenced than I expected also. Lots of wobbles.

I like it btw.

Rihanna has dipped into that as well:

I heard "Applause" on the radio the other day and a thought occurred to me that I could possibly pull off playing guitar in place of her voice over this tune. I did a search for a 'karaoke' version of it, and found one where the vocals are stripped. So, now I'm learning it, matching her vocal inflections, and it's actually sounding really good. Good enough to enter into a "March Madness - Anything Goes" competition on one of the guitar forums I frequent.

Wish me luck!

Good luck and don't forget to hire a vomit painter to puke up on you.

Dude. ****ing nasty.

Here it is. I know Vanilla will be able to pick out the rough parts, but I just wanted the Lady Gaga aficionados to have a listen and let me know what they think before I submit it.

*Deleted - See post below*

You did a really good job with that. I dropped it in plug so others could hear it. :tramp:

Thanks Deej. I appreciate that you spread the luv too. A few more minor tweaks and I think I'm done with it.

This album is hard. Yes fanboy.

Better mix on this ****, and a bump.

Applause is the best one from this album! My applause to GAGA

I voted 1/5. Personally, I feel this album should get a -47/5, but I can't go lower than 1. This album was absolutely pure garbage. One of the worst albums I've ever had the displeasure of listening too. It's a shame, too, because The Fame and The Fame Monster were both Pop masterpieces, and Born This Way was enjoyable, as well.

you took the words right out of mouth. i think it's time she closed the curtains and turned the page on ARTPOP. It's too try hard-ish to me. I dunno. maybe it's me alone.

No, me too. I hate Artpop. I think the downhill trend started with Born This Way, but even that was a good album. The Fame and The Fame Monster, on the other hand, were outright Pop masterpieces.
