djBuffoon 11,640 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 o<(0_0)>o I personally think that when people here say ARTPOP sounds like 2011-2012 EDM, to prove how outdated it sounds, what they are really doing is providing bad a--lysis as an excuse to explain how the album is not as commercially successful as they would like. But the reality is that the EDM on ARTPOP sounds nothing like the EDM in 2011/2012. The EDM during that time was mostly basic house and dub step, while ARTPOP's EDM sounds more aggressive and more genre varied. I mean what mainstream EDM song in 2011 or even now sounds anything like Aura, GUY, Sexxx Dreams, ect.? 1000% spot-the-fück-on. I constantly get the impression that one person made a half-assed attempt to call it dated, and everyone else followed suit without really thinking about it. I mean, Timberlake's "Not a Bad Thing" could be considered dated because the composition, production, vocals, etc., sounds like it could have easily been at home in his early 00's work. And yet, I don't hear the same criticisms applied to him. Hmm... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

monketsharona 44,578 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 And ARTPOP is experimental for gaga. She has ventured through more genres in AP than any album she has done. That's what basically makes the whole album "ART" tbh Thi, this and this !  Like Lily Allen said : 'Lady Gaga is a martyr of her art'. She's not succeding with ARTPOP because she has done experimental things. Doing experimental things on ONE album doesn't ends up her career. She just took a risk, and she really could because she doesn't have to prove anything to anybody. I don't blame her for that. That just proves she takes risks (contrary to Katy Perry).  Next era will be better commercially if she returns to what she has done on TF / TFM / BTW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterRocket 47 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I do think it is outdated, and it may be more sucessful if it came out in middle 2012. Aura, which actually is Still love trance/Kink with vocals, was edited at that time...i guess it's an obvious example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Draco 2,531 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 ARTPOP's production isn't generic like Rihanna's and Katy Perry's from that time period, so I don't understand the comparison. ARTPOP sounds nothing like what was on mainstream radio during the time period we are talking about. Nothing on ARTPOP sounds like We Found Love, Where Have You Been, E.T, etc. I'm so confused as to what people hear when they listen to ARTPOP because it must not be what I hear.

djBuffoon 11,640 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 It was made by Indie EDM hipster producers though, it was not for the top 40 and it was not a commercial work. The song is unique.  I looove JT, I like the song, and there's really nothing wrong with it, per se. I just haven't seen much in the way of evolution for him since FutureSex... (now that was some next-level shÃÂt). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essence 148 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Where did you get that number from? media traffic it's real. Also it was reported 2.3 million at the end of 2013, but that number seems a bit too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
