ARTPOP is an experimental songwriting and vocal album

The songwriting was not even experimental. I thought it lacked compared to her previous albums :fail: 

The songwriting in The Fame Monster and Born This Way was more superior in my opinion.  

In my messy era.

I don't think ARTPOP is either safe or experimental, it strikes a wonderful balance between the two.

And frankly, I don't care either way. The melodies are wonderful, her voice sounds pristine, the production is epic, and it's detailed up the ass with wonderful GAGA touches. She made art out of a traditional pop album structure.

And that is another of the reasons why the album is experimental. There aren't really any albums that sound that safe, and yet that experimental. The album is literary ARTPOP.

Being diverse is not the same as being experimental. 

I recommend expanding your music horizon, there's so much more out there.

It's definitely not experimental songwriting and vocal wise. Sorry.

How can songwriting be experimental? :confused:

The songs are very complex, indeed. But it has a mix of complexity and catchiness to it (At the end of the day, it's not a Taylor Swift or Katy Perry album, which have catchiness in every verses, from start to finish).

Then again, vocally... It could've been. But someone messed up everything and changed it all (Aura Demo, Sexxx Dreams' s-xier vocals, Swine squeals, I Wanna Be With You).

You haven't provided me with any actual examples of why is not. You are the one that is actually reaching with that "if you have to dig deep argument". That is just an excuse.

:lmao: Let's take a look at your reasons that ARTPOP is so experimental.

"Venus uses is collage of related words to paint an overall theme" - what does this even mean? This isn't actually saying anything, this is more or less just a description of song lyrics...

"Aura uses a collage of Gaga's emotions and Ideas to provide and inside look into her mind" - once again... You could say this about virtually any song ever.

"In Sex Dreams, Gaga takes the roles of two different characters, one that talks and one that sings, one that is dreaming and one that is not, in order to showcase her feelings." - an interesting technique, but not 'experimental songwriting' at all

"With the title song ARTPOP, Gaga uses many artistic metaphors to describe her feelings." - metaphors in a song? Very groundbreaking.

"And with Gypsy, Gaga takes the classical route of songwriting but still sings as if she was people." - breaking news, Lady Gaga sings from the perspective of human being on her new album.

"When she wants to pay a tribute to an artist, she emulates the artist's vocal style while still retaining some of her own style" - Gaga is the first artist to ever switch up her vocals in a song???

"And there are other times when she screams, squeals, and or changes her falsetto style depending on the emotion and style of song." - none of this is experimenting... "Falsetto" has existed literally forever and making noises such as squeals and screams are not the mark of vocal innovation either...

The album has some moments of good songwriting and good vocals, but there's nothing new there. Don't even get me started on the production when most of the instrumentals just got emailed to her and she sang over them. It's a good pop album but if you really think that it's innovative and experimental in any way then you must have not heard a lot of music outside of mainstream pop.

ARTPOP gonna get dragged again...

It won't be dragged if it wasn't made up to be something that it's absolutely not from the first place. :dies:

i feel like this fanbase has a complex with top 40 music and some part of it cant accept the fact that our fav is mainstream pop super star 

i mean like ive seen comments such as: "dwuw is something else lmh and style are generic" when all of those songs are top 40 :toofunny:

I already adored the album enough but thanks for giving me more reasons to love this album even more. :nick: Some of them just won't open their mind and embrace the full artistry, they didn't even try to contemplate your words before commenting, so don't be bothered too much.
