that's also true, it needed some of the edginess of bionic. but i wouldn't indicate generic as a bad thing. ARTPOP's a fun album!

yeah it's a fun album and i can see why fans like it, but it just wasn't BOLD like her past work

ARTPOP could've been the best album ever if...It wasn't generic

it wasn't generic though, it wasn't full on experimental bjork-esque but it was hardly generic, by Gaga's standards it was definitely somewhat experimental with a pop twist because full on EDM music didn't gain hype until recently, although it was already kinda big here in Europe. it was mainly EDM with influences from Rock, R&B & Disco, with like two partially Pop songs (Gypsy & Applause) and one acoustic/stripped song. 

The popular EDM music on the radio is currently House but at the time was a Dance-Pop hybrid and a few R&B/Acoustic songs. Dance-Pop is pop with dance influences, EDM is dance, techno, trap, complextro, house, trance, dubstep, drum & bass, garage and many many more. 

If you want a run down of the songs & the genre they mainly belong to;

Aura - Complextro

Venus - Dance with disco influences

G.U.Y. - Dance & House hybrid

Sexxx Dreams - Rhythmic/Groove 

MANiCURE - Dance with Rock & Trap influences

J&D - Trap & Hip-Hop

DWUW - R&B & Dance with Disco influences

Swine - Dance & Dubstep

ARTPOP - Trance

Donatella - Dance with some House

Fashion! - Dance & Disco

Mary Jane Holland - Hardstyle with Dance & Dubstep influences

Dope - Acoustic Rock/Ballad

Gypsy - Dance-Pop

Applause - Electro-Pop

She's used some of these influences before though, notably Hardstyle hoover synth in Bad Romance

I haven't listened to Bionic a while, but I really enjoyed it. I don't know if it's her best work. Even without  superficial nonsense like charts and sales, I think most would argue that Back To Basics or Stripped are her best albums, but it simply comes down to taste. I like it, I know lots of other people hate it, but you apparently are passionate about it, so it's done the job the artist intended. :)

As for Dope, I like the song overall, though I hardly ever listen to it. It has nice lyrics and a personal message. I usually wind up skipping it because it's too much of a downer for me in the album, though I would gladly trade it for Donatella if I could (not saying Donatella is necessarily bad, it's just I don't care at all for it, except the instrumental).

Excellent run down! I must confess to not knowing much about all the complex genres of music, but you seemed to have nailed it down perfectly! Bravo!!

Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show. I should really just relax."

The production was fine but it was just the songs and their topics. The music really lacks the boldness of her past work. Songs like Aura and ARTPOP had that Gaga touch to them. there are a few songs on the album that had that but others seem very cheesy to me, Mainly Donatella. I don't hate the album its just that i wish that it was more serious.

No...Gypsy was one ballad enough...Dope was a complete watered down version of IWBWY and ruined the flow of the album...

If anything it needed to be replaced by an ACT II song...not Brooklyn Nights since it sounds too similar to Gypsy and would be another slow ballad

All I Need and Lift Me Up are the better ballads :redface:

Dope was a much harder hitting song, IWBWY was cheesy if you ask me. Dope is about her addictions & IWBWY shared similar subject matter to Gypsy, it was about her travelling the world and wondering if she could be in love & wanting to be in love with Taylor. Even though it's also about us at the same time (like Gypsy).

Is that not what MJH was about? So Dope was made AFTER MJH was already made...so Dope could also be said to be a reductive message of MJH :shrug:

ARTPOP is a lot better and a lot more successful than Bionic. Better in every way

Nope, Mary Jane Holland is about refusing to be a pop culture slave & how being on d--gs made her feel like a totally different person, it's meant to be about the good part of what happened, but Dope is the come down afterwards (hence why it's a ballad in conjunction to the Hardstyle beat on MJH)

OK but that doesn't mean it needed to be on the album...she easily could've made like an outro soliloquy after the music weirdly dims down at the end of MJH....THEN Gypsy could've been seen as a love story that changed her life for the better
