ARTPOP era: Let us settle this once and for all

The songs & production on ARTPOP are not the reason why it "underperformed" commercially.

Troy setting up the ARTPOP promo schedule in way that would f*ck Gaga over completely (aka DWUW video), and hurting her so badly that she almost was on the edge of SUICIDE and Gaga therefore retreating from mainstream media to get herself back on her feet, is why ARTPOP did not do as well as her previous albums.

I'm sick of you blaming the producers and songwriters. ARTPOP is a great album, with impeccable production.

EDIT: Since 50% of you are kind of still don't get it: The mere reason why ARTPOP "flopped" is Troy Carter. Not Gaga. Not Madeon. Not Zedd. Not DJ White Shadow. It's Troy Carter. Please refrain from adding your stupid "She messed the era up" comments, I am having none of it.

As bland as this sounds, but i think with the right promo and management, it could've been her Teenage Dream/True Blue easily

- It's all a matter of taste whether something is "good" or not. I love ARTPOP but that doesn't necessarily make it a objectively "good" album, since such a thing does not exist.

- We don't know what went on behind the scenes, so any claims about what Troy, Gaga or anyone of her team did is pure speculation. The only part of the story we heard was from Gaga, in a few short interviews where she wasn't even legally allowed to say much.

- Promo does not automatically make or break an album.

We'll never exactly know what made the ARTPOP era go down the way it went down, but I don't see why this fanbase has that incessant need to do so.

I don't like bringing that era up :-( It literally makes me hurt inside to think about how successful it could've been :rip:

i love the album and agree that thats mostly the reason why it didnt do as well, but imo also the songwriting and lyrics are not as good as her previous work sorry bout it

No.

Honestly, ARTPOP flopped because ARTPOP as a concept came off pretentious, snobby and rubbed people the wrong way. The title alone had people rolling their eyes before the music even saw the light of day.

I don't think it's fair to pin all of the blame on Troy :huh: What grounds do we have to blame him on exactly? Except Gaga saying that she felt betrayed by him, what exactly did he do to betray her? What knock-on effect did that betrayal have? I don't think we're in a position to say what actually caused it all when there are so many things at play, and so many things we don't know :duck:
