How many of you really think ARTPOP is Gaga's weakest release?

[Lassex 1,169]

The music itself isn't bad at all, it just lacks a bit of soul sometimes The worst thing about ARTPOP were the countless ideas and concepts that she had to cancel. Many songs were waiting to get a video and to get released as singles

The best in therm of music, the weakest in therm of promo/era

In terms of music and quality, for me it's - Born This Way > The Fame Monster > The Fame > ARTPOP.

I still really like ARTPOP though, it's still an album I like its just not my favourite by Gaga.

i agree

Yes. It's not a really bad album or anything, just not up to Gaga's standards. It's incoherent and lacking in inspiration. The songs were overworked and the production on almost every song feels like it had the soul processed out of it. Over a third of the album is totally boring both melodically and lyrically, and even the stronger songs are generally weaker rehashes of stuff she did on previous albums (Just Dance -> Applause, TEOG -> Gypsy, LoveGame -> G.U.Y.). This was never going to be her best album but she really held herself back and made it a lot weaker than it had to be, or her label did, or both.

The Fame had 4 great songs (the singles) and 2-3 other good songs..The BIGGEST part of the album is mediocre songs

The Fame and ARTPOP are sort of on a similar level, they're both a good deal behind BTW and TFM which are also on a similar level. I think The Fame is better simply because the great songs on that album trump the great songs on ARTPOP, but both albums have a fair amount of weaker songs. The difference though is that The Fame has a clear and excellent concept which all of the songs apply to, so even though Money Hunny is one of her weakest songs it doesn't really qualify as a filler.

 

ARTPOP on the other hand has in-excusable filler such as Donatella, Fashion!, JnD, MANiCURE... When your album has no real concept and it's just various pop songs thrown together then the filler stands out like a bruised thumb. ARTPOP isn't much better than a Katy Perry or Miley Cyrus album in this regard. Gaga was always supposed to be above making a simple pop album like that with little-to-no concept.

Musically, The Fame Monster is much better.
