EdgeofTeeth 1,934 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I believe it would've been a masterpiece if it was a little more cohesive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valextra 58 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 For sure is a great album to me, always more high in quality and ahead compared the others pop singers. In my opinion most of the people complain about it especially now only because it didn't have a big impact in terms of success, I remember when it came out everybody were praising it, and then suddenly it wasn't good only for a chart-impact issue. In the next years I'm sure most of the people will revalue it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
socotra 3,310 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 A masterpiece, yes. I feel it is a prototype pop album... nothing was done incorrectly on it. The music is flawless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley 59,173 Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Well the reality is that she didn't come close to any of that. You honestly cannot believe that people didn't like the album because it didn't sell well...that's absurd. The album was simply not good enough for most people and had nothing on her other albums. Not most people, just part of them. Many of us still think this is equally great as her past albums. Also she didn't sell that many copies of her singles because of the lack of promotion, not because of the music quality. Still my favourite album! It's more than a masterpiece and I absolutely love it! Production-wise the album is astounding. Lyrically it's not meant to be as heavy and serious as Born This Way, so I really enjoy the predominant love/s-x theme. The biggest problem of ARTPOP is that many of you failed to understand that its beauty lies in its simplicity and Gaga generally failed to get across the message to the mass public. Otherwise, it's a light uplifting party album done perfectly well and right! Slé! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley 59,173 Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Yes. Absolutely, yes. There's no rule that one artist cannot create more than one masterpiece. I think BTW is a masterpiece. I think ARTPOP is a masterpiece. Maybe I'm throwing around the word too freely, but in my own personal definition, both albums are masterpieces. I agree that ARTPOP was a breath of fresh air after BTW. Where BTW was a storm, ARTPOP is the sun. If I had to pick one, it would be ARTPOP. I think because I'm still amazed that she can make great songs that are SO diverse. Aura and Gypsy (for example) are completely diffrerent animals, but both are fantastic. I LOVE BTW, don't get me wrong, but I think a lot of the tracks are so similar sonically. That sound just happens to be fcking amazing lol. I enjoy the variety of ARTPOP. However, I still harbor a deep hatred for JnD lol. No disrespect towards TI, Twista or Too $hort... but she's too good. She's too good to just be a vocalist on a hip hop record. It was a waste of a released track. I like what you said Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaDragon 10 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Not most people, just part of them. Many of us still think this is equally great as her past albums. Also she didn't sell that many copies of her singles because of the lack of promotion, not because of the music quality. How exactly would you know that? is there some information out there which states that lack of promo was the main factor in single sales being poor? Completely biased statement. And by many people are you referring to GGD members? because outside of this site i think you'll be hard pressed to find many people that genuinely think ARTPOP is of equal quality to her previous albums.

Isn't it obvious enough? Applause slayed, Do What U Want slayed (without a music video it slayed) G.U.Y. didn't slay, why? *Promotion* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaDragon 10 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Isn't it obvious enough? Applause slayed, Do What U Want slayed (without a music video it slayed) G.U.Y. didn't slay, why? *Promotion* Yeah Applause did well, but i can attribute that to the buzz around Gaga having a comeback after so long. Any other song would probably do the same on the charts imo. DWUW did okay but that's it, and it's not like she didn't promote the song, she still performed it for a wide audience and it still wasn't enough. G.U.Y is a dated mess, and a desperate attempt to try and appeal to the masses...and it failed horribly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
