Guys this topic isn't about quality of her song writing. It's about the literal quality of the songs and vocals and sound. Compare any vocals on Born This Way to 'I Want Your Love'

it feels like we had this discussion during the ARTPOP pre-era. Like we all talked about the failures of Born This Way (quality, being rushed, etc.) and how ARTPOP was going to rectify everything. 

Now that we're in the next era, we've replaced Born This Way with ARTPOP and ARTPOP with "LG5."

Seems like that but this it more interesting bc now we got Gaga saying "TF and TFM was pure" and that now she's in a time where the next album would be pure too, in contrast to BTW and AP.

I don't care what she said or meant about BTW or ARTPOP but I know that LG5 is gonna be as good as her first 2 albums. This is what I want to see. Not rushed, planned era. Go Gaga we can wait more!

Spoiler

as long as we'll get our prize at the end

I always believed Born This Way was rushed.

However, I doubt she believes that ARTPOP and Born This Way were her worst albums. She probably has good and bad things to say about all her albums. I can think similarly and give some examples but I'm too lazy to write them all out.

Though I do think she is very damn tired of singing Poker Face. I think she'll be truly happy when she drops Poker Face from her setlist.

 

She is not allowed to drop Poker Face from her tour setlist.

She is not like Rihanna who has 13 #1 hits, she can choose whatever she wants. With Gaga, she only has 3. It is expected that she sings them when you attend her tour. I do agree though, it would be nice if she scored 4-5 new iconic hits with LG5 so she didn't have to relay on her past material so much.

I think BTW is the best album, from the quality and difference point of view. It still sounds very fresh. Only Applause has that fresh sound from ARTPOP, and TF & TFM are mostly mainstream pop. If Gaga has ever made an album that "redefined" pop music and brought something new to the scene,  it would definitely be Born This Way.

Not people dissing J&D and The Fame :koons:

Don't touch my favs.

How people can't notice that TF is her most daring (and thoroughly composed) album in terms of sound and her most developed in terms of lyricism still remains a mystery to me. It's like this fanbase can't get over the fact that it sounds polished - if it sounds that clean, it has to be basic too. Weird and delusional logic.

@ 42min "when artists try too put good messages  into the world I think there should be  a little extra attention paid too those songs".  ARTPOP!

As an album, BTW is my favorite so it breaks my heart when she doesn't put it up there with her others. It's the one I can still listen to from start to finish and love the whole time. I also think the meanings in the lyrics are important and clever.

However, looking at album eras as a whole, BTW doesn't hold a candle to TFM, which I think was her best album era and visually her best representation of an album. It certainly was my favorite Gaga concert I've been to as well.
TF I think was her best album era in terms of Gaga being on her game when it came to manipulating the viewers, so from an execution standpoint that album is my favorite.

I think if ARTPOP would have been executed in a way that more dramatically brought art to the mainstream I would have listed it as a favorite for that reason, but her projects during that era which truly blended art into pop, I feel, didn't translate to the general public. C2C I respect for the way it introduced younger generations to more jazz, and for the way it focused Gaga on the love of the music.

I really do think LG5 will be a very mature album in many ways. I think Gaga's intention is not to write a good dance hit, but to make an album that really matters and expresses artistic integrity. She's showing that she wants to keep up with great things, not with the kids, which I think is super important. This album could have the ability to remove Gaga as one of the "Pop Girls" and into a truly respected Woman in Music. As a person she's seen as that, but her own individual albums don't necessarily reflect that to the GP.

I'm pretty sure Gaga's favorite album is TFM. Just look at how many time she said she loved art of the dark, she even said late 2014 that she would be able to make another album like TFM. 

nah she said before BTW was her fav i think it was on twitter.
